The 2024 Nissan Titan and Titan XD lineups are rejiggered, with both versions dropping their base-level S models.The half-ton Titan’s new starting price is $47,665 (a $5240 increase), and the heavier-duty Titan XD’s base price rises $3940 to $53,825. The ’24 Titan also adds a $2980 Bronze Edition package that brings bronze 20-inch wheels, a black front bumper and grille, and a bed-mounted sport bar.The Nissan Titan may be the forgotten full-size pickup truck, but like Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees, it just won’t die. To prove that point, Nissan is introducing a new appearance package for the 2024 model year. If there’s one way to catch our attention, pair bronze wheels with a green paint job, which is exactly the color combo seen on the 2024 Nissan Titan Bronze Edition pictured here. Bronze TreatmentIncluded with the Titan’s new Bronze Edition package are bronze 20-inch wheels that really pop against the green backdrop. Providing contrast is a gloss-black grille surround and center section on the front bumper. There’s also a bed-mounted sport bar with a “Titan” cutout—just in case the badging on the front, side, and back didn’t make it clear. Inside are floor mats with “Bronze Edition” on them, but it’s unclear if they have any bronze on them.NissanThe Bronze Edition is a $2980 package that’s only available on the SV model, which—for 2024—becomes the Titan’s new base model. Previously, the S trim level was the lineup’s entry point, but it has since been dropped. That means the least expensive Titan is more expensive, with a starting price that rises $5240 to $47,665 for the rear-drive Titan SV crew cab. However, compared to the 2023 model, that SV configuration is only $120 costlier. The higher PRO-4X and Platinum see similarly small price hikes for 2024.Titan XD PricingWhile the heavier-duty Titan XD doesn’t get the Bronze Edition package, it does lose its entry-level S trim. The result is a higher base price, which increases by $3940 to $53,825 for the SV model. Compared with the 2023 version, the SV—which is only offered with a crew cab and four-wheel drive—really only sees its starting price rise by $120. Like its half-ton sibling, the rest of the XD lineup’s pricing hardly rises for the new model year.More Titan and Titan XD ReadingThis content is imported from poll.

Genesis will offer the new 2023 G90 with a 48-volt hybrid system for its V-6 engine.The setup includes an electric supercharger that boosts the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 to 420 hp.The hybrid will likely cost extra compared with the base 375-hp version of the V-6.The new 2023 Genesis G90 sedan will offer a version of the company’s twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 engine with a 48-volt hybrid system in the U.S. A Genesis spokesperson confirmed to C/D that this new powertrain will use an electric supercharger, and EPA documents reveal that it will produce 420 horsepower—a significant bump over the 375 hp that this engine makes in standard form.Curiously, the addition of this hybrid setup results in a drop in fuel economy, as EPA ratings show that the “MHEV” model has a combined rating of 20 mpg, one mpg lower than the standard twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6. We’d guess that the extra mass associated with the hybrid system could account for this disparity. Both powertrains use an eight-speed automatic transmission and come standard with all-wheel drive. For reference, the Mercedes-Benz S500 with a 429-hp inline-six and a 48-volt hybrid system achieves an EPA combined rating of 24 mpg.Genesis originally said that this hybrid setup would only be used in the stretched long-wheelbase version of the G90, which is not slated to come to the U.S. But now the company says that the more powerful engine will be offered in the standard-wheelbase car that will be sold on our shores. We don’t know what kind of price premium the hybrid setup will command, but we figure it’ll be a few thousand dollars extra given its extra power.Look for more details to come on the 2023 G90, including pricing, as the flagship sedan is slated to arrive in the U.S. later this year.

The BMW Alpina B4 Gran Coupe makes 22 more horsepower than the standard M4 and 59 more pound-feet of torque than the Competition model.Alpina claims a zero to 62 mph sprint of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 187 mph.BMW would not confirm whether the B4 Gran Coupe will be sold in the United States.Earlier this month, BMW took full control of Alpina, the German tuning company that specializes in fast and luxurious Bimmers and had enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with BMW for decades. Now Alpina has revealed its latest BMW-based creation, the Alpina B4 Gran Coupe, which ups the performance of the four-door 4-series to create the closest thing to an M4 Gran Coupe.
Like the M4, the all-wheel-drive B4 uses a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, tuned by Alpina to produce 495 horsepower. This slots it neatly between the standard 473-hp M4 and the 503-hp Competition model. But the Alpina’s whopping 538 pound-feet of torque far surpasses the Competition’s 479 pound-feet. It uses a retuned version of the ZF eight-speed automatic and Alpina claims the B4 can hit 62 mph in 3.7 seconds, putting it three-tenths behind BMW’s claim for the all-wheel-drive M4 Competition. The B4’s claimed top speed is 187 mph.Alpina’s Sport Suspension includes specially developed front anti-roll bars and unique spring and damper configurations, aiming to provide a composed ride at high speeds. There is also an electronically controlled rear limited-slip differential, and the B4 receives a unique Alpina exhaust system.
The B4 gains minor aerodynamic enhancements, with subtle spoilers front and rear and a diffuser sandwiched between the four oval exhaust tips. The classic 20-inch Alpina turbine wheels are wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires developed specifically for Alpina. Inside is supple Lavalina leather, a unique sports steering wheel, and plenty of luxurious standard equipment including a heated steering wheel and driver-assistance features.

BMW would neither confirm nor deny the availability of the B4 Gran Coupe in the United States when asked, but did acknowledge to Car and Driver that “there has been no announcement by BMW of a 4 Series-based ALPINA model for the U.S.” In Europe, deliveries will begin this summer and the B4 costs the equivalent of around $100,000.
