Infiniti has released its latest concept, the Qs Inspiration, designed to blend classic sedan proportions with a fashionable tall ride height. According to the company, the design is inspired by Japanese modern art and architecture with "smooth, muscular spaces between sharp, sheer lines in the bodywork". The car also features short front and rear overhangs, and Nissan GT-R-style blacked out A-pillars.

Another day in our childhood's future, another unveiling of an autonomy-focused concept. This time it's the Audi AI:ME concept at the Shanghai motor show, inspired perhaps by the original Audi A2, merging the brand's latest and more organic styling language with a future-focused autonomous driving system.

Great Wall’s tougher new ute is ready for a full reveal next week, but it won’t be touching down in Australia until more than a year after launch. The new dual-cab, which will eventually take over from the Steed, will be offered in both ‘Urban’ and ‘Adventure’ guises when it launches. A pure-electric model with 500km of range will also be available, and Great Wall Australia has expressed interest in bringing it to our shores.

The next-generation Toyota Highlander, known locally as the Kluger, has been teased ahead of its debut at the 2019 New York motor show next week. The teaser image above is actually part of a 3D art installation featuring 200 cardboard pieces suspended from the ceiling. From most angles it's an unintelligible mess, but viewed directly side on, it previews the fourth-generation crossover.

The upcoming 2020 Karma Revero will gain a new range-extender petrol engine and improved acceleration times when it launches in Shanghai. Having worked with BMW on range extender tech since 2015, the new petrol engine is expected to be a variation of the 1.5-litre three-pot used in the i8 and various Mini models. How much power it'll make isn't clear, but in BMW's hybrid hero it produces 170kW and 320Nm.
