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.

The SK Forester's hybrid battery doesn't hide under the floor like most hybrids' — Subaru mounted it above the rear axle specifically to improve the car's front/rear weight balance.

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.

Mazda promised a US diesel CX-5 for 2017 — it didn't actually arrive until 2019, and only for a single model year on the top Signature trim.

The pure-electric M6 costs more to buy than the range-extended version, the reverse of how most rivals price EVs against hybrids.

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.

Its base LiDAR hides behind the windshield, not on the roof, yet still spots a 30 cm object at night and brakes automatically up to 100 km/h.

This three-row luxury SUV can dodge a simulated moose at 76.9 km/h (47.8 mph) — a result that would be respectable for a sports sedan, let alone a family hauler with a fridge in the back.

AITO's new M9 is the first 9-Series car with steer-by-wire, a system that lets the front wheels turn without a mechanical link to the steering wheel.

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

The ADX is the first Acura ever assembled outside the United States, Japan or Canada.

When Acura discontinued its RLX flagship sedan in 2020, the model that inherited flagship status for the whole brand was this fourth-generation MDX — an SUV.

The 2019 RDX's touchpad doesn't work like a laptop's — it uses absolute positioning, so wherever you tap the pad maps directly to that same spot on the screen.

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.

When Brazil's Engesa went bankrupt, its own former employees bought the rights to its military 4x4 and rebuilt it with Agrale — that reborn design became the Marruá.

Its range-extender variant is rated for 1,200 km on a tank and charge, over three times the car's electric-only range.

At 1,660 kg it undercuts a BMW X3 by 145 kg and a four-cylinder Porsche Macan by 110 kg despite sharing the Giulia's platform.

Alfa Romeo named its first SUV after the Stelvio Pass — Italy's highest mountain road, famous for 48 tight switchbacks stacked up a single mountainside.

Alfa Romeo built its first SUV ever with a carbon-fibre driveshaft, a part normally reserved for cars half its weight.

Alfa badged this one for a mountain pass, not a person or a number, breaking its own naming habit.

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.

Aston Martin let the DBX707 replace the standard DBX outright in 2025, leaving no base V8 model in the lineup.

Aston's DBX S squeezes 717 hp out of its V8 without touching the torque figure — engineers found it all in the exhaust and gearbox, not a bigger engine.

The DBX was Aston Martin's first SUV and the first car ever built at its new St Athan factory in Wales.

The Q2 was marked for death years before it died: VW Group confirmed in 2022, with the car still on sale, that it would get no second generation at all.

As of 2026, this is about as small as a gas-engined Audi gets: with the A1 and Q2 both discontinued, the Q3 is now tied with the A3 as Audi's smallest remaining combustion-engine model.

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.

Audi builds the third-gen Q5 in Mexico, sells it alongside the old one in America for a full model year.

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).

When the standard Q5 ditched its torque-converter automatic for a dual-clutch box, Audi did the opposite for the SQ5 — keeping the old-school ZF 8-speed for its flagship.

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

The US-market SQ7 swaps the twin-turbo diesel V8 for a petrol version of the same engine, still good for 500 hp and 770 N⋅m of torque.

The SQ8's twin-turbo V8 can shut down four of its eight cylinders almost instantly whenever full power isn't needed, trading grunt for economy on the fly.

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.

BMW quietly slipped a long-wheelbase X1 into India in 2026 — 108mm more rear legroom, running on nothing more exotic than a 1.5-litre, 156-hp three-cylinder.

Under its SUV-coupe styling, this X2 rides on the same front-wheel-drive UKL2 platform as the BMW X1 — and the MINI Countryman.

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.
