The Best Spy Shots For The Week Of December 12th

Motor1.com post spyshots of upcoming vehicles most days and sometimes more often than that. If you want to stay up to date with what’s going on, check out our quick list of development vehicles from last week.

While we know Audi is developing a new generation of A4, this gallery is our first chance to see the Avant as a plug-in hybrid. The current model isn’t available as a PHEV, so it’s a big addition to the lineup. The range-topping RS4 will also allegedly adopt a plug-in arrangement.

BMW announced its M EV concept in August 2021. However, this is an opportunity to see the model in the real world. This vehicle has an electric motor that drives each wheel. Continuing testing of the sedan could be a sign of a production version on the horizon.

We have two batches of spy shots of the BMW 5 Series this week. The vehicles look similar in both galleries, but allegedly have different powertrains. This one has a plug-in hybrid.

And, reportedly this is an electric version of the 5 Series wagon. It features a stylishly angular nose and closed grille.

Buick revived the Electra name, and the moniker is perfect for an EV. It will allegedly be available with a single-motor, rear-drive layout or a dual-motor, all-wheel drive system.

This Buick Encore GX has no camouflage on the outside, but the real story is on the inside. This is our best chance to see the digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen sharing a single bezel. The HVAC controls are lower on the center stack, and two vents are above it.

The global version of the new Ford Ranger debuted just over a year ago. The North American variant still doesn’t have an opening. This one has a light camouflage finish and some black cloth over the nose. The body looks ready for production.

The Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe has a new generation coming. It reportedly shares many components with the new Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. However, this model will only be available as a coupe.

Mini is preparing a combustion-powered and electric version of its next Hardtop. The one here is the ICE variant. The styling showcased under the yellow wrap here isn’t too dissimilar to the current generation.

Mini also has a new Countryman crossover in development. It even wears camouflage similar to Hardtop. The styling appears boxier and more chiselled than the current model.

Once again, we see Porsche working on the next-gen 718 Boxster. The development vehicle wears a mix of old and new parts, in addition to components that are most likely to be concealed. The production model will debut in 2024.

Volkswagen engineers have a strategy where they like to dress up future vehicles as they are today during development. This is exactly the situation with this Tiguan. Overhang looks slightly longer than the existing vehicle.
