Abstract This is a compendium of recent progresses in the development of wake dynamics and active drag reduction of three-dimensional simple automotive models, largely focused on the generic Ahmed body. It covers our new understanding of involved instabilities, predominant frequencies, pressure distribution and unsteady flow structures in the high- (12.5° < f < 30°) and low-drag (f > 30°) bodies and the square-back body (f = 0°), where f is the rear slant angle of the body. Various drag reduction methods and their performances are reviewed, including open- and closed-loop controls along with machine-learning control. The involving drag reduction mechanisms, net saving and efficiencies are discussed. Comments are made for the areas that deserve more attention and future investigation.
