The 2021 Bentley Bentayga Hybrid, the British ultraluxury brand's first and only electrified vehicle, has been freshened, following updates of the standard Bentayga and Bentayga Speed.

The nine finalists for 2021 North American Car, Truck and Utility of the Year are three Asian sedans, three American pickups and a group of utilities consisting of a resurrected nameplate, a Mustang-inspired electric vehicle and a burgeoning luxury brand's first crossover.

Zoox Inc., the self-driving startup owned by Amazon.com Inc., unveiled a fully autonomous electric vehicle with no steering wheel that can drive day and night on a single charge. The vehicle, which Zoox describes as a driverless carriage or robotaxi, can carry as many as four passengers.

The freshened Kicks comes standard with a 7-inch touch screen display with a new 8-inch touch screen on SV and SR models. Interior enhancements include new seat and trim materials and a new center console with armrest.
