With a 4K TV and plush captain’s chairs, Lexani’s mobile office will make going to work easier

Welcome to the least productive mobile officer ever.

Boutique luxury conversion company Lexani has announced its Concept One Curve, a 2015 Cadillac Escalade fitted with a 48” 4K Smart TV, a Mac Mini computer, and an Apple iPad Air II.

It may be hard to focus with all this technology staring at you, but if you can, you won’t find a more comfortable place to get things done.

Lexani calls the concept the world’s first mobile office and theater. In addition to the curved television and home electronics, there are plenty of other goodies to back up that claim.

The impossibly luxurious rear compartment has been upgraded with a raised ceiling, ultra plush leather captain’s chairs, and more digital displays than The Enterprise itself.

Security cameras and electronic window shades keep the grubby fingers of the middle class outside, while TracVision Satellite availability and a touch screen management system keeps you in the loop.

For those days when you feel productive, there’s video conferencing and a retractable partition for business meetings. For the days when you don’t, gold-plated airline tables and nap-inducing upholstery are there to help you rest.

It all comes together in a truly glamorous and enviable mobile space. This is the type of luxury that seldom few get to experience, and because Lexani doesn’t list the price of the Concept One Curve, you know it’s going to be otherworldly pricey.

Lexani doesn’t do just Escalades. The Corona, California-based firm is perhaps best known for high-end wheel design, and the group also makes armored cars.

The outfit has previously tricked out Lincoln Navigators, Toyota Land Cruisers, Mercedes-Sprinters, and GMC Yukons.

Mercedes-Benz G580 first drive: old-school off-roader goes electric
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

American car buyers mostly know Mercedes-Benz as a luxury brand. But for decades, the automaker has also produced the tough, rugged G-Class (also known as the Geländewagen or G-Wagen), an SUV not afraid to get its leather upholstery muddy. And now, this iconic Mercedes is going electric.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology — the final name of the SUV previously known as the EQG — isn’t the first electric off-roader. The Rivian R1S and R1T and GMC Hummer EV have proven that electric powertrains and off-roading are a great combination. But the electric G-Wagen is different because it’s based on an internal-combustion model — and a very traditional one at that.

Honda believes hydrogen semi trucks will make the case for fuel cells
Honda hydrogen fuel-cell semi truck.

Honda remains committed to hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, but the market for those vehicles remains limited. So Honda is looking at other uses for fuel cells -- including commercial trucks.

To show how that could work, Honda converted a semi truck to fuel-cell power, replacing its diesel engine with three fuel-cell modules. Together, the three modules produce a combined 321 horsepower, and can propel the truck to a top speed of 70 mph. There's enough onboard hydrogen storage capacity for a 400-mile range with a full load, Honda claims.

Mercedes-Benz G580 vs Rivian R2: Is the much cheaper Rivian actually better?
2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 from three quarter view.

Mercedes-Benz has finally taken the wraps off of the new "Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but it's basically a new electric G-Wagon. It looks a lot like the G-Wagon you know and love, but with an electric powertrain and a battery. It's not the only electric SUV out there, however, and there are some great ones -- like the Rivian R2.

Both the Mercedes G580 and the Rivian R2 have a lot going for them, but they also approach the electric SUV slightly differently. Is one better than the other? I put the two head-to-head to find out.

The approach that the two vehicles take to design is quite different -- and you might like one better than the other.
