The updated 2017 Ford Everest range has been detailed this week, bringing new models, added technology and a lower starting price for the Blue Oval's Thai-built off-roader.

The Audi A8 sedan has been photographed almost completely free of disguise in Europe. These photos of a long-wheelbase version of the next-generation A8 were captured on a smartphone by a fan of our spy photography agency. Unlike earlier prototypes, which were covered head-to-toe in camouflage, this latest pre-production A8 model has just a few pieces of black tape disguising parts of the grille, and the head- and tail-lights.

UPDATE: Shortly after this article was published, CarAdvice reader Chris alerted us to a Russian article with a number of photos showing the D90 without disguise, caught in Kiama yesterday. A second vehicle was spied this afternoon, again after this article had published. As these photos show, the production D90 borrows heavily from the styling of its concept predecessor, revealed at last year's Beijing motor show.

The Volkswagen T-Roc crossover has been spied in Europe with a very minimal level of disguise. Volkswagen has done away with the full-body camouflage used on earlier prototypes, with this car's disguise limited primarily to gobs of deliberately obfuscating chrome around the grille, headlights, sills, and driving lights. The company has also pasted red tape around the tail-lights and a chrome bar across the tailgate to help disguise those features.

Chevrolet has released a teaser image of a new SUV concept, the FNR-X, which will make its public debut at the Shanghai motor show later this month. Following the wild FNR concept of two years ago, the slightly more conventional FNR-X is set to form the basis of a new plug-in hybrid electric SUV. Of note, from the single teaser image we’ve seen, the front grille treatment screams more than a little of Camaro. Above: The wildly futuristic FNR concept of 2015, the basis for the tamer FNR-X
