spy photos

The 2022 Ford Ranger is another step closer to showrooms, with four prototypes spotted testing on the roads near Nowra on the NSW south coast. Images published on Facebook over the weekend confirmed numerous sightings in the area since last Friday. It appears the Melbourne-based engineering team stopped for lunch in a car park across the road from fast food outlet KFC.

This is it: meet the 2021 Hyundai Kona N, which has been spied undisguised ahead of its full detailed reveal. The light-coloured Kona N pictured was captured by our spy photography partners during a video shoot near the Nurburgring, evidenced by the closed road guarded at 150-metre intervals by Hyundai officials, and the presence of a 'Russian arm' filming car.

The 2022 Honda CR-V has been snapped ahead of its expected unveiling later this year. It's the first indication we've seen of the sixth-generation CR-V, with Honda wrapping the SUV nose-to-tail in camouflaged vinyl to help conceal its new design. From what we can see, a more confident front-end will adorn the new model, with slimmer LED headlights and a cleaner, simpler grille than on the current model.

The facelifted 2021 BMW X3 M has been spotted undergoing winter testing in northern Europe, ahead of an expected unveiling in the first half of this year. Changes to BMW's mid-size performance SUV for its mid-life facelift – dubbed 'LCI' in BMW parlance – appear to be concentrated around the X3 M's front and rear fascias, with the example spotted by our spy photography partners devoid of swirl-pattered disguise along its flanks.

One of North America's biggest motoring websites has published what are believed to be the first spy photos of a 2021 Ford Ranger test mule. Images published on the website Motor1.com show the Ranger dual-cab ute with LED headlights and tail-lights, together with a long exhaust pipe more akin to those seen on larger Ford F-Series pick-ups. The vehicle is wearing a heavy camouflage, which would indicate it is still at least 6-12 months away from showrooms.
