In China, this RAV4 generation doesn't even wear the RAV4 name — GAC Toyota sells it as the Toyota Wildlander instead, with its own front-end styling.

This CR-V generation did the unthinkable: in the first half of 2026 it outsold the Ford F-Series to become the best-selling vehicle in America.

In 2023 the Model Y became the best-selling car on Earth, full stop — the first EV ever to outsell every gas car, including the Toyota Corolla.

This Crosstrek broke a decades-long pattern: for the first time, Subaru builds the 2.5-liter Sport and Limited trims in the US, in Lafayette, Indiana, instead of shipping them all from Japan.

When this generation finally reached Japan in 2026, Toyota broke with decades of tradition and badged it 'Highlander' — not the 'Kluger' name Japan had used since 2000.

AITO engineered the M7's reclining rear seats down to the degree: the 'Zero Gravity Seats' hold a precise 113-degree angle between thighs and torso, said to improve blood circulation.

The AITO M9 didn't just pass crash testing — it posted the highest score C-NCAP had ever recorded for any car.

Acura's EV runs on GM's software, not Honda's: the ZDX's Google Built-in system is the first Android Automotive in an Acura, but it's a reskinned GM implementation.

The Tonale's plug-in hybrid eAWD system marked a first for Alfa Romeo in its entire history — the brand's first-ever plug-in hybrid, good for about 30 miles on electricity alone.

A red steering-wheel button grants ten seconds of extra boost, then locks out for thirty seconds before you can press it again.

The Q4 e-tron brought Audi back to where it began: it’s the first Audi built in Zwickau since before WWII — the very town where Audi and Horch were founded before merging into Auto Union in 1932.

Buyers in North America stopped getting a German-built Q5 with this generation — Audi shifted production to a brand-new factory in Puebla, Mexico.

It is the first Audi to reverse the brand's own double-digit numbering system, dropping the number from its badge.

The BBC called this Q7 out by name in 2016 — one of several SUVs on sale that were literally too big for a standard parking space.

Park the Q8 and its OLED taillights are still on duty — they light up on their own if a car behind gets within about 6.6 feet.

This generation barely got started before it was over — Audi announced the Q8 e-tron's production end in October 2024, with the line closing just four months later.

The RS Q8 shares its 600-PS twin-turbo V8 with the RS 6 and RS 7 — with the optional dynamic package, this three-row-sized SUV is electronically capped at 305 km/h (190 mph).

On a 400-volt charger, the SQ6's 800-volt battery splits itself in half and charges both halves at the lower voltage.

The SQ8 e-tron's entire production line got a death sentence almost as soon as it arrived: Audi announced in October 2024 that the whole Q8 e-tron family would stop building by February 2025.

Audi’s first standalone electric SUV found over 10,000 owners worldwide within its first year on sale.

A niche but mass-produced electric performance SUV.

Before this car, an M-badged X3 simply didn't exist — 2019's X3 M and X3 M Competition were the first time the X3 line ever got a full M version.

BMW skipped a flagship M model this generation, putting M development into the electric iX3 instead.

Bigger usually means heavier, but BMW shaved up to 55 kg off this X3 compared to the model it replaced — a grown-up SUV that actually went on a diet.

BMW's first M Performance X4, the M40i, paired a 355-hp turbocharged six with a 4.7-second 0-62 time — quick enough to embarrass hot hatches twenty years its junior.

BMW built a stretched, China-only version of this X5 — the G18 — with a wheelbase 13 cm longer than the regular car, matching the wheelbase of the flagship X7 and XM.

BMW quietly killed the "base" X5 M at its 2024 facelift — only the Competition survived, meaning every X5 M built since is the more powerful one.

The G05's M50i revived a V8 under the X5 hood after the previous generation's M-Performance trim ran on a six-cylinder diesel in most markets.

Partway through this X6M's run, BMW simplified the lineup by killing the standard X6M outright in its 2023 update — Competition became the only way to get one!

The G06's angular kidney grille can light up on command — a BMW first. No BMW before this X6 had ever offered an illuminated grille.

BMW once built an X7-based pickup truck concept — and swore it would never see a showroom.

BMW actually built a pickup-truck version of the X7 as a concept in 2019 — it was never meant for production, just to see what a three-row luxury SUV looks like with a bed.

BMW couldn't just take the XM name — Citroën had already used it for its own XM executive car, so BMW had to strike a gentlemen's agreement with its rival before it could badge its super-SUV that way.

The BMW iX hides its windscreen-washer bottle somewhere unexpected: it's accessed through the BMW emblem on the nose, not under the hood.

BMW built the iX's body around a carbon-fibre roof and side frame wrapped in aluminium, a first for the brand.

China's long-wheelbase iX3 stretches 108mm in the wheelbase and gets an LFP entry trim the rest of the world never sees.

The Bentayga's body is assembled at Crewe, but Volkswagen builds its unibody first at its own Zwickau plant.

The E5 brought back the Electra name, last worn by a Buick built from 1959 to 1990.

The Escalade IQ's rear wheels turn up to 10 degrees against the fronts, letting the full-size SUV "crab-walk" diagonally at low speed.

The Lyriq-V is built in China too, the first Cadillac V-Series car ever sold there.

Cadillac says every interior part in the LYRIQ was designed from scratch — not one piece was pulled from GM's existing parts bin.

The Optiq mixes a permanent-magnet front motor with an induction motor at the rear, two different motor types in one car.

The Vistiq exists because Cadillac cut the gas-only XT6 from North America and handed its spot to an electric three-row.

Reviving the Blazer name on a crossover (not a body-on-frame SUV) upset longtime fans of the K5, S-10 and TrailBlazer, who felt GM had borrowed the badge for a different kind of vehicle.

GM paused Blazer EV production in December 2023 over software and charging faults, then put the first SS-badged electric Chevrolet into the same factory three months later.

The third Equinox lets the driver disengage the driveshaft with a button, cutting friction when all-wheel drive isn't needed.

GM tried a CVT in the FWD version of this Equinox generation, then quietly dropped it for 2027, putting every model on the 8-speed automatic instead.

Chevrolet's electric Equinox shares almost nothing with the gas Equinox, right down to riding on GM's dedicated BEV3 platform.
