Audi has released the first images and details of its fourth-generation A6 Allroad ahead of it going on sale in August.

Dubbed the A6 Allroad quattro, it arrives as Audi celebrates two decades since the first Allroad model was launched. Like its predecessors, it???‚?„?s based on the standard A6 Avant but adds rugged styling details, a raised ride height and standard all-wheel drive.

Kia will expand its already diverse Ceed line-up with a fourth bodystyle, the Xceed crossover, which has been shown in an image ahead of its unveiling later this month.

Kia claims the new Xceed "represents a sporty alternative to traditional larger SUVs", with an elevated ride height but a lower hip point than cars like the Sportage giving a sportier driving position and better handling.

The Nissan Terra made its public debut at the 2018 Beijing Motor Show in April this year and is already available to order in China and Southeast Asia. Despite earlier rumors that it might eventually reach the U.S. market, it seems that the Japanese automaker has taken the decision not to sell it in America. At least, for now.


A confirmation of Nissan???‚?„?s plans comes from Hironori Awano, chief vehicle engineer of the Terra, who recently declared that a launch in the United States ???‚??is out of our scope." While he acknowledged "the size is very nice for the U.S. market," safety requirements and other problems make it impossible to sell the seven-seat body-on-frame SUV Stateside.

 
On paper, a hybrid SUV sounds like an ideal blend, a car that offers versatility with a roomy interior and above-average fuel economy. The reality is a bit more complicated. Since SUVs sit higher off the ground, they create more aerodynamic drag than a sleek hybrid hatchback such as the Toyota Prius, which can achieve 50 mpg.

Finding somewhere to locate the hybrid battery pack, especially in an SUV that also needs to offer all-wheel drive, presents an additional challenge for automakers. Rear-seat and cargo space often suffer as a result. And while interest in hybrids tends to rise along with fuel prices, regular crossovers generally carry significantly lower prices without a major penalty at the pump.

The last time we saw Pininfarina at the Geneva Motor Show, the company was showing off its stunning hydrogen-powered race car, the H2 Speed. This year???‚?„?s concept should be no less stunning if we???‚?„?re to believe the first teaser ???‚??? but maybe a bit more practical.

Dubbed the H600, the concept was commissioned by the Hybrid Kinetic Group out of Hong Kong. The company, which focuses on ???‚??the development, manufacturing, and marketing of new energy vehicles and their key components,???‚?? will be touting its first concept car.

 
When the Outback doesn't have enough room, buyers can look to this upcoming three-row crossover for even more room.

Subaru has already confirmed that a seven-seat, three-row crossover is joining the brand??™s lineup in the United States and Canada in early 2018, and the Viziv-7 SUV Concept at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show is a good preview of how the company??™s biggest model could look. Subie is still keeping the automotive world guessing about the rest of CUV??™s important specs, though.

 
Nissan didn??™t only bring a full-size replica TIE Fighter to the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show because it would appeal to us nerdy automotive writers ??“ though that ploy sure worked. The real reason is because Nissan has teamed up with upcoming Star Wars movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story to sell a special-edition Rogue crossover. Rogue crossover, Rogue One, see?.

The tongue-twistingly-named 2017 Nissan Rogue: Rogue One Star Wars Edition features assorted ???Rebel Alliance??? and ???Galactic Empire??? logos, as well as ???Star Wars??? and ???Rogue One??? emblems. The crossover is offered only in black or white. The Star Wars-themed model is based on a Rogue SV with the Sun and Sound package, with buyers able to pick between front- and all-wheel drive. But no hyperdrive, as far as we??™re aware. It is, however, the first production car with any officially licensed Star Wars tie-in.
