This weekly automotive news update covers a range of manufacturer updates and leaks. Key highlights include leaked images of the 2021 Ford Bronco's headlight and a perplexing grill leak potentially for a 'Baby Bronco' or 'Bronco 2', suggesting Ford may expand the Bronco lineup significantly. Genesis officially revealed the 2021 GV80 SUV with official images, though details remain scarce. Subaru teased the Levorg STI Sport, noting it's a sportier trim rather than a full STI model, and Mercedes-AMG teased the electrified GT 73, hinting at a powerful four-door sedan. Jeep announced its '4xe' branding for all electrified models, with plug-in hybrids confirmed for Renegade, Compass, and Wrangler, and all Jeep models to offer electrification by 2022. Chrysler unveiled the Airflow Vision concept, potentially influencing the next-gen Pacifica, which is also rumored to receive a refresh with new plug-in hybrid tech. Kia confirmed a production version of its Imagine concept EV for 2021, driven by European CO2 regulations. Finally, the 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata will standardize Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and active safety features, increasing its starting price.
