Maserati has announced its upcoming sports car will be revealed in May 2020. Details about the 'sports car' are hard to come by at the moment, but a teaser video posted on Twitter offers a few hints beyond the launch date. For one, it features a revving petrol engine, suggesting the first electrified Maserati won't be a pure-electric vehicle – instead, it's likely to be a plug-in hybrid, or offer a purely internal-combustion powertrain option option.

Ford's first dedicated electric vehicle will be known as the Mustang Mach-E. Although it uses the Mustang name, the EV crossover is expected to share few physical attributes with the coupe and convertible except for badging and some styling cues, such as the tail-lights. In terms of concrete details about the car, Ford has so far revealed it will have a range of 595 kilometres using the WLTP test cycle.

The Mercedes-Benz EQA SUV has been spied charging in a German garage, revealing hints of its GLA-derived design. The all-electric crossover will be built on Mercedes-Benz's MFA II platform, and is expected to offer an electric range around 482km when it launches in 2021. As with the EQC and GLC, the EQA appears to share its basic silhouette with the GLA – at least, if our recent prototype drive is a guide – but will likely differentiate itself with unique trim and lighting elements.

American Special Vehicles (ASV) has issued a recall for 1197 units across the 2015-18 model-year Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup truck lines, over concerns the drag link could separate from the adjuster sleeve.
