Top 70 Autos Trends in October

From Battery-Powered Minibikes to In-Car Fuel Payments

— October 29, 2023 — Autos
This list of October 2023 autos trends showcases some of the most innovative and noteworthy releases across the industry in the past month. These include new vehicles, features, accessories, and tools, each of which designed to enhance the driving, mobility, or car ownership experiences.

The new Mercedes pay+ feature is an excellent example of streamlining the vehicle ownership experience. Rather than having to exit the vehicle to pay for fuel refills at a gas station at the pump or in the office, this new Mercedes feature ties payments directly to the infotainment display, enabling seamless payment via a saved payment method.

On the vehicle side, the new Emeya vehicle from Lotus is the brand's most powerful all-electric vehicle to date. On top of this, Lotus claims that the Emeya is one of the fastest all-electric vehicles on the market today, making this a significant release from the United Kingdom-based manufacturer.
