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

BMW badges the X3 M Competition with 27 extra horsepower over the standard X3 M for the same S58 engine.
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 poured $900 million into its Spartanburg, South Carolina plant specifically to get ready for X-model production — including the brand-new F26 X4.
BMW builds the X4 M on a coupe-roofed SUV body that shares its S58 engine with the boxier X3 M.
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 turned the X7 into a pickup truck concept in 2019, but never built it for sale.
The X7 is BMW's largest SUV and its second most expensive, with a third row that is standard and roomy enough for adults.
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.
The Bentayga's body is assembled at Crewe, but Volkswagen builds its unibody first at its own Zwickau plant.
Buick unveiled this Enclave on April 11, 2017 — exactly ten years to the day after the very first Enclave rolled off the line.

The XT5 that replaced the SRX shed 278 lb thanks to a new lightweight chassis and an electronic shifter — rare discipline for a luxury crossover.

The third Equinox lets the driver disengage the driveshaft with a button, cutting friction when all-wheel drive isn't needed.
This Traverse and its Buick Enclave twin didn't just get a redesign — shrinking and losing weight pushed both out of the full-size class entirely, into midsize SUV territory.
When the plug-in hybrid Pacifica debuted for 2017, it was the first minivan in the US to offer a plug-in hybrid powertrain — Chrysler's chief engineer wanted it capable of being a family's only car.
Emissions rules killed the supercharged Hemi V8 in the Durango SRT Hellcat after the 2022 model year — then a 2023 regulatory change let Dodge bring the trim straight back.
The third-gen Durango isn't just related to the Jeep Grand Cherokee — it's built on the very same line at Detroit's Jefferson North plant, sharing running gear, powertrains and chassis parts outright.
Ford's budget-entry EcoSport quietly picked up an 8-inch floating touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — tech that had been a premium-SUV feature not long before.
