Mercedes-Benz has been spotted testing a prototype for its next CLA-Class, and the design appears to be a close match to the lines of the handsome Concept CLA-Class unveiled last fall. The new compact sedan is due around 2025 and will offer buyers a choice between hybrid and fully electric powertrains.

France’s Alpine will soon launch its A290 hot hatch. It will be the first electric vehicle from a brand that plans to enter the U.S. around 2027 starting with a pair of crossovers.

Liberty Media, which already owns Formula 1, is set to acquire MotoGP in a deal valued at more than $4.5 billion. It means the American media giant will soon own the highest echelon of motorsports on both two and four wheels.
