CES 2019 presented an interesting concept that is half robot, half car. The 'self-driving' Hyundai Elevate is built with inaccessible terrain in mind, with enough capabilities to reach where today's emergency services have to stop.

The CES 2019 fair served up quite a few interesting things, including the BMW North Face Futurelight Camper Concept holiday concept, which is the result of a collaboration between the BMW Designworks department and the North Face sportswear brand.
It is always unfavorable when there is a premature disclosure of data, and it is even more unfavorable if it is not sensitive data or images of cars that are already eagerly awaited. This time it happened to the BMW brand. Namely, the exterior images of the latest BMW 7 have 'leaked'.
The Mercedes-Benz X is considered a luxury pick-up truck. But this does not mean that it is not capable of overcoming more demanding terrain. In fact, with a little imagination, it can be quickly transformed into the ultimate off-road vehicle, which, in addition to everything, allows us to stay comfortably. The Matzker MDX conversion transforms a luxury pick-up truck into a real off-road motorhome.
The consumer electronics and 'gadget' fair does not only serve limited things. Every now and then, one of the car manufacturers presents a new car at the mentioned fair. This time it was the long-awaited new Mercedes-Benz CLA, which could quickly be called a 'miniature' CLS.
The refreshed and upgraded Lamborghini Huracan EVO is finally here. It is actually a refresh, or rather a 'facelift' of a smaller Lamborghini, which, despite everything, has all the characteristics of a breeding bull that you don't want to show you its horns.
The creators of the BMW Individual department went beyond all limits this time and impressed like never before. They presented the unique BMW Individual M850i Night Sky, which hides pieces of a real meteorite in its interior.
We have already proven several times in our column that imagination knows no bounds. The concept Porsche GT Vision 906/917 Le Mans was presented some time ago, which can also be seen in the game Gran Tourismo. Now we got a suitable 'tool' for his transport to and from the race track.
Compared to previous models, the Citroën SUV C5 Aircross is something completely different. It is no longer a limousine or station wagon body design. Only this one now has an SUV body shape, which nevertheless represents the fastest growing segment in the automotive industry. And what does the newcomer offer?
Some time ago, Porsche already presented the 911 Carrera T model, which was actually a 'stripped down' version of the Carrera, which contained only the necessary equipment and therefore had a lower weight. We will now have two more models available – the Porsche 718 Cayman and the Boxster, and the T version will make these two cars for drivers even more attractive.
The Land Rover brand and its more sophisticated 'sub-brand' Range Rover share a rich off-road history. Speed and performance were relegated to the background until the Range Rover Sport SVR was introduced, the fastest Land Rover-Range Rover SUV ever.
Without exception, concept cars are the ones that always leave the biggest impression on us. However, these are only concepts and we preferred to look at cars that are available to a wider or at least exclusive crowd of people. Are you interested in which 'machines' we remembered the most in 2018?
