We have received news regarding Nissan’s third-generation bestselling model, the new Rogue. After a recent slump due to coronavirus, the automaker is happy to release the 2021 Nissan Rogue in hopes of sparking some revenue. Let’s get a closer look at what will be different with the new Rogue models.

Changes to 2021 Nissan Rogue

The 2021 Rogue will be about the same size as the previous model. However, the interior feels roomier and it has a boxier shape. For 2021, the Rogue comes with a 181-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired to a CVT, but owners have the choice between front- and all-wheel-drive.

Sadly, as previously reported, there will not be a Nissan Rogue Hybrid model at this time.

Additionally, new models feature some updated driver-assist technology. Look for the standard Safety Shield 360 system, which includes blind-spot warning and automatic emergency brakes. There is also a new ProPILOT Assist cruise control system, as well as a lane-keeping feature.

Inside the cabin, owners can choose the Zero-Gravity seats, which reduce muscle fatigue. There is also the option to add tri-zone automatic climate control and a wireless charging pad. Nissan also added rear cargo area bins that are perfect for holding gallon-sized jugs.

We don’t yet have the pricing for the new Rogue SUV but expect it to be comparable to current models. A 2020 Nissan Rogue starts at $26,395. We also expect some changes to the lineup, with the 2021 Rogue coming in four trim levels: S, SV, SL and Platinum.

Upcoming Nissan Lineup

We await further news regarding the new Nissan lineup but do have one update to share. As of now, we are still expecting the Nissan Ariya electric SUV.

So, what are your thoughts? Do you think this new Rogue model is going to boost car sales, or would you rather stick to an older version?

On Tuesday, the all-new 2021 Chevy Tahoe debuted online as a Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle. This vehicle will be the lastest option for law enforcement from the Chevy brand. 

2021 Chevy Tahoe PPV Specs

The general public loves the new Chevy Tahoe design, and the vehicle is suited for police duty. The Tahoe Z71 trim is more rugged than the base Tahoe design with a bull bar that includes built-in lights that go with the emergency light on top of the vehicle. 

The automaker made specific changes to this model to be sure it would meet police officers’ needs. The 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe has larger seats so officers can fit with their utility belts. Plus, the SUV also comes with all-season tires, the rubber used was manufactured by Bridgestone and tested at different race tracks to ensure they are durable. 

This new 2021 Tahoe PPV will be paired with a 5.3-liter V8 engine. To help improve ventilation, the same rocker covers are used from the Camaro ZL1. Plus, the manufacturer used heavy-duty cooling systems for the vehicle. 

If you dive deeper into Chevy’s engineering, you’ll see that the height of the vehicle is shorter than the model being sold to average customers. Consequently, this design improves the aerodynamics. They also made a unique suspension for the PPV vehicles to reduce body roll. 

Some other things that come with the vehicle include a heavy-duty clutch, an enhanced limited-slip differential and Brembo brakes. The Chevrolet Tahoe has a top speed of 140 mph and there is also a Special Service Vehicle program that helps with towing and off-road needs. 

While style and speed are essential, there are plenty of comforts for our officers, as well. These include a 4G LTE Wi-Fi and a rearview camera, which will make things easier for K9 units because it’s usually hard to see out the rear mirror. 

Would You Drive This New Tahoe?

The 2021 Chevy Tahoe PPV is only available for law enforcement purchases. If you are a police officer, you might get the chance to drive this 2021 Tahoe. Otherwise, we recommend checking out the Chevy Suburban instead. 

The 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee is ready to move into its next-generation for the new model year. Enthusiasts say it doesn’t need to be changed, seeing that Jeep sold 242,000 of these vehicles in 2019. Actually, it’s been nearly a decade since this SUV entered a new generation. However, if cars were never updated, customers would stop getting excited about new vehicles. To keep consumers happy, Jeep is determined to provide a significant update. Let’s take a closer look. 

Updates to 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The new Grand Cherokee uses the same undercarriage as Alfa Romeo’s Stelvio and Giulia, even though it’s much longer. It will be a two-row like all the others, although the manufacturer will release a three-row Jeep SUV later down the road.

A turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, most likely with hybridization, will be the standard engine. There is also an available Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine that comes with eTorque assist. Plus, later in the model year, there will be an optional plug-in hybrid model. Additionally, there is talk of a Hellcat or Hemi diesel engine coming in the new Jeep SUV. With all of these options, it will be challenging to decide which Jeep is perfect for you. 

As usual, there are all-, rear- and four-wheel drive powertrains. The interior details, as always, will be nicer than any other Jeep on the market. Digital screens take place of the analog gauges and a rotary knob replaces the conventional shifter. This new Jeep SUV feels like a slice of luxury but comes at a reasonable price. 

New or Old Grand Cherokee: Which is Your Favorite?

Let’s hope Jeep doesn’t lose loyal Grand Cherokee customers over the updates. Let us know in the comments below if you are going to buy a 2021 Grand Cherokee or if you think the changes are a bad idea.

Jeep’s largest and best-selling SUV, the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee was last redesigned in 2014. So, for the 2020 Jeep model lineup, not much has changed. The most significant modification is the Jeep Active Safety Group of advanced safety features, which is now available on the base trim. Let’s take a closer look at the new equipment added to the 2020 Cherokee and see how it compares to the 2019 model. 

2019 or 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The Jeep Active Safety Group comes standard on every trim. This sophisticated system contains automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, automatic high beams and lane departure warning.

Trim levels remain the same as the 2019 model. These include Laredo, Limited, Trailhawk, Overland and Summit, plus they still have the high-performance Trackhawk and SRT models.

Other changes to the 2020 Jeep SUV include some cosmetic upgrades and equipment shuffling. Plus, the single-pane moonroof is now standard on the Limited and Trailhawk trims. Also, you can get a new headlight package with the Laredo, Limited and Trailhawk that contains signature daytime running lights, bi-xenon high-intensity-discharge-headlamps, auto high-beam headlamps and LED foglamps.

The Overland trims are now offering a black interior palette and Dark Sienna. Available on the Summit trim is a brown interior palette and Light Frost. Plus, the 2020 Trailhawk model offers an optional Signature Leather-Wrapped Interior package in a Ski Gray and black color. Also, you received 20-inch titanium-aluminum wheels.  

The 2020 prices compare closely to the 2019 Grand Cherokee. The base trim, Laredo, starts at $45 less for the 2020 model year. However, most of the prices are higher, like the Limited trim is $510 more.

Is the 2020 Better Than the 2019 Grand Cherokee?

What are your thoughts on the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Will this vehicle end up in your driveway or are you partial to the 2019 Cherokee instead? Considering there isn’t much of a price difference, you wouldn’t be wrong choosing either option. 

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is a compact sedan that is going into its seventh generation for the new model year. The Elantra has been around since 1990 and it is getting some significant improvements for the 30th anniversary. With the latest updates, the company plans to compete with the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and Mazda 3.

Updates to 2021 Hyundai Elantra

When enthusiasts compared this model to the sixth generation, they noticed that it was substantially different. To start, it has a wider grilled and redesigned nose. Also, the automaker replaced the taillights, and the new lights resemble Hyundai’s logo.

The 2021 Elantra is over 2 inches longer and 1 inch wider than the 2020 Elantra. In addition, the ride height lowers by .8 inches, while the rear legroom jumps to 38 inches. The one downside to the upgrades is that the cargo space now only measures 38 inches.

The company didn’t just update the exterior, but the interior was redesigned as well. The new Hyundai received two 10.3 inch screens located behind the steering wheel and on the center column. On the left display, you see digital gauges, while on the right, you have entertainment and features for handling.

Plus, the screens feature Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which means your phone can be used hands-free so you can drive safer. It even includes Oi wireless device charging, so you don’t have to hassle with cords.

An eight-inch display is standard, but you can opt for the 10-inch model instead. Either way, you gain wireless capability.

One of the most talked-about ads in the Super Bowl was for the 2021 Genesis GV80 starring Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. This showcases Genesis’s first crossover and is expected to be the next big thing. Hyundai, Genesis’s parent company, first launched the brand with a lineup of sedans, so no one expected this.

2021 Genesis GV80 Specs

You can use the automaker’s build-your-own tool to configure the vehicle just the way you want it. We don’t have the starting price yet; however, we have the details for color options, features, trims and extra packages.

The turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four engine is the standard choice on the 2021 GV80. You can get this vehicle with all-wheel or rear-wheel drive. All of the new Genesis GV80s come with a ton of features such as a 14.5in display, power front seats, power liftgate and heated front seats.

If these standard features aren’t enough for you, the top-of-the-line Prestige package comes with soft Nappa leather, 22-inch wheels, soft-close doors, cooled second-row seats, head-up display and an upgraded audio system. We should also mention that a few of these features are included in some of the lower packages as well.

As far as colors go, there are a lot of choices. We see dark blue metallic, dark green metallic, matte white, burgundy, gold, matte green, matte gray, metallic gray, black and more. We’re not sure which of these colors will be sold in the US yet.

A fully loaded GV80 should cost close to $65,000. Which means it should compare to the BMW X5 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-class.

Ford has worked with Harley before and they have created some pretty cool stuff. However, now it is GMC’s turn to work with Harley-Davidson and create something that turns heads. GM has never worked with the company on trucks before so this should be interesting. In this article, we will talk about the Harley-Davidson GMC Sierra specs.

Harley-Davidson GMC Sierra Specs

The Harley Sierra looks similar to the Harley F-150 because of the 22-inch wheels, Harley Davidson badges,  unique bodywork and orange trim. The Fat Boy inspired wheels also provide plenty to marvel at.

These wheels are wrapped in 35-inch off-road tires and tucked under flared fenders. Plus, the Harley pickup shocks are manufactured by Fox. It features a V8 engine, orange-accented billet aluminum exhaust tips, LED light strip on the front bumper, recalibrated electronics, a BDS lift kit and a Harley-Davidson insert on the MultiPro tailgate.

The company added more than 65 special components, which include a piano black trim, lots of cool badges like the Harley-Davidson logo, a hard tonneau cover and orange-stitched black leather.

Like the F-150, there will only be 250 of the Harley GMC Sierra’s produced annually. The starting price for the Harley-Davidson pickup truck is $94,995, so not everyone will be able to get their hands on it. The company is offering them to a specific group of GM dealers that will carry its products. If you want one, you will need to check with your local dealer.

You will be able to see this Harley at the Barrett-Jackson auto auction. The auction will take place in Scottsdale, AZ, on January 16.

The new 2020 Toyota C-HR crossover features LED headlamps, new wheel designs and a new front fascia with some other awesome updates. Let’s take a closer look.

2020 Toyota C-HR Specs

Besides the fact that this crossover is a compact, the size of this C-HR is 172 in. long with a 103 in. wheelbase causing it to be a wonderful city car. This model features updated LED headlights, honeycomb grille, spoiler, fog lights and front bumper. However, features for the LE trim include custom made 17 in. wheels but there are 18 in. wheels on the Limited trim.

The C-HR has a dual-overhead-cam and a 2.0-liter engine which produces 144 horsepower and 139 pound-ft of torque. This engine also has Toyota’s latest and greatest tech including Valvematic valve lift control and Variable Valve Timing (VVT).

They produce three trims LE, XLE and Limited, which all feature a whole new range of conveniences. They include Toyota Safety Sense P™ which is like putting Pedestrian Detection and a Pre-Collision System together. It also comes with Steering Assist with Lane Departure Alert, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Automatic High Beams.

Even with all that, you still get a STAR Safety System which includes Traction Control, Vehicle Stability Control, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, Anti-Lock Brake System, Smart Stop Technology, Brake Assist, Hill-Start Assist Control, rear backup cam and 10 airbags. Standard features on the XLE and Limited include Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Monitor.

Two optional colors to pick from are Hot Lava Orange and Supersonic Red. Customers can select from the all-new silver roof with the Black Sand pearl. However, the white roof is no longer an option.

Toyota has been boasting about the new grey headliner and the black leather on the seats, which is a fun combination. The chart-topping XLE shows black sport fabric. The 2020 C-HR also comes with Amazon Alexa (just like GM vehicles) and Android Auto that works with an 8-inch touchscreen to make things even more fun.

You know what all of us Texans love. A good state fair! You know what else we fancy? Big trucks! Nissan continues to throw its hat in the ring when it comes to a full-size pickup. In fact, we just got a good look at the 2020 Nissan Titan at this year’s Texas State Fair.

2020 Nissan Titan Specs

The new Titan is available in two cab styles. There is the small King Cab or the large Crew Cab. Other exterior styling updates include the prominent front grille, new lower fascia and available LED headlights. Opening up the tailgate also helps to show off the new four LED lighting system that shines across the entire bed.

Looking inside the Nissan Titan, we see some additional technology included. There is now a standard eight-inch center screen, but that can be upgraded to a nine-inch. There are also door-panel storage pockets, a panoramic sunroof and assist grips, on some models.

What we are most impressed by are the powertrain upgrades. The 5.6-liter V8 engine now pumps out 400 horsepower plus 413 lb-ft. of torque. That’s an additional ten horsepower over last year and an extra 19 lb-ft. This is paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission, replacing last year’s seven-speed.

To complement the four-wheel-drive, there is an included off-road gauge. Of course, this truck also offers a low-range transfer case, hill-descent control and an electronic-locking rear-end.

If safety is your concern, you’ll be happy to know that there is plenty of additional technology, ready to keep you safe. Every model features eight airbags and the Nissan Safety Shield 360. This package of advanced innovations includes forward automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, reverse automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, pedestrian detection, automatic high beams and lane-departure warning. You can add in traffic-sign recognition,  a surround-view camera and adaptive cruise control.

Ready to Drive This Truck?

We can’t say enough good about the improvements on the 2020 Titan. We are fans of the design, powertrain, safety upgrades and technology. Still, it’s hard to believe it will become more popular than the front runners. It’s hard to overtake the Ram 1500, Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado 1500.
