The refreshed 2024 Ford F-150 will make its debut on September 12. In a teaser video, the truck is shown working on a farm, giving us a sneak peek at its updated front end.

Like the current F-150, different trims of the 2024 version will feature different grille treatments. For example, the STX appearance package seen in the gallery below showcases a hexagonal mesh grille design. Other images show the Platinum grade with a split grille design.

Jeep Celebrates Milestone: 5 Millionth Wrangler Sold

Jeep has recently announced that it has reached a significant milestone with the sale of its 5 millionth Wrangler. This accomplishment comes as the refreshed 2024 Jeep Wrangler models are hitting the dealerships.

During the April announcement of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Brand CEO Christian Meunier highlighted that nearly five million Wranglers had been sold worldwide since its initial launch in 1986. However, that number has now been surpassed.

Jeep North America CEO Jim Morrison revealed to the press that the five-millionth Wrangler customer was just realized on August 28. This coincides with Jeep’s new global marketing campaign, “Famous for Freedom.” The campaign pays homage to the 1990s and the influence that hip-hop has had on marketing and culture. Accompanied by the iconic song “California Love” by 2Pac, Jeep aims to engage its audience with nostalgia and celebrate the Wrangler’s enduring popularity.

Mercedes V-Class Marco Polo: Revamped Exterior and Interior

During the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mercedes-Benz Vans introduced the updated V-Class and Vito lineups earlier this year. However, details about the camper version of the midsize van, the V-Class Marco Polo, were not disclosed at the time. Now, the Marco Polo model debuts with significant exterior and interior improvements. The camper van has undergone extensive upgrades, featuring a refreshed exterior design, improved comfort features, and enhanced digital connectivity.

One of the first things that catch the eye is the new V-Class Marco Polo’s redesigned exterior. With a more prominent bumper, a striking radiator grille, and the option of an AMG Line design package with an LED light strip encircling the grille, the van boasts a distinctive visual presence. Additionally, the front fascia offers optional Multibeam LED headlamps, while the back receives subtle updates such as LED taillights, a chrome trim strip with the Mercedes-Benz lettering, and a newly sculpted bumper.

New Updates for the 2024 Mercedes EQB: Design, Technology, and Towing Capability

The Mercedes-Benz EQB has undergone a significant overhaul for the 2024 model year. Following in the footsteps of its combustion-engined counterpart, the GLB, this electric crossover now features a refreshed exterior, upgraded technology, and new functionality. It will be available for orders this autumn, with deliveries starting early next year.

One noticeable change is the new black front grille, which incorporates Mercedes’ signature star pattern. Furthermore, the front light bar has been redesigned and now joins the LED daytime running lights. At the rear, the rounded rear light design has been replaced with a straighter, horizontal arrangement.

Inside the EQB, the star pattern can be seen on the dashboard and door trim pieces, giving it a more luxurious feel. Additionally, the interior features a new touch-capacitive three-spoke steering wheel and the option of open-pore wood trim. These updates bring the EQB in line with the top-tier S-Class and EQS models.

There are also new options available for the 2024 EQB. Buyers can now choose a self-stabilizing trailer hitch, which has a maximum payload rating of 1400kg for front-wheel-drive models and 1700kg for four-wheel-drive models. However, this option is only available if buyers forego the third row of seats.

Another addition to the options list is a Burmester sound system with Dolby Atmos. This system offers occupants a choice of four different “sound experiences,” which alter the tone and acoustics of songs. The EQB also comes with the Mercedes Me Plug & Charge function as standard. This feature enables automatic charging once the vehicle is plugged in, eliminating the need for drivers to authenticate themselves beforehand.

The latest-generation MBUX interface, adopted by the new EQB, makes navigation easier. It features two 10.0-inch touchscreens with a cleaner and simpler design compared to previous versions. Additionally, users can choose from three display styles, enhancing the overall user experience.

2024 Ford Explorer Timberline Spied With Different Face Versus Other Trims

It appears that Ford no longer feels the need to conceal the updated 2024 Explorer. Previous spy shots of the three-row SUV have shown the model without any camouflage, and the most recent pictures reveal the Explorer Timberline joining the group with fully exposed sheet metal.

However, the 2024 Timberline doesn’t feature the redesigned face seen on other test vehicles and trims; instead, it retains the current fascia’s styling. The SUV retains the narrow grille and old headlights, along with the rugged lower bumper of the current model. Nevertheless, the refreshed variant is evident in the new rear taillights and hatch found on this off-road-oriented Explorer trim.
