In the 1950s, BMW was in trouble, with an aging lineup and finances that were deep in the red. The company responded to this crisis by designing an all-new line of cars with fresh styling and new engines that it dubbed the “Neue Klasse.” Designed to appeal to a broader audience of modern drivers, the […]

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee Is a New Twist on a Legend
The Cherokee is one of the most iconic models for the Jeep brand, actually predating the Wrangler by over a decade. However, unlike the Wrangler, which represents unchanging tradition, the Cherokee has evolved massively over the years, often signaling the direction for the Jeep brand as a whole. The all-new 2026 Cherokee is no exception, […]
The 2026 Subaru Uncharted Is a New Type of Subaru
At this point, we know the drill—whenever Toyota or Subaru comes out with a new EV, we can expect the other to release a badge-engineered version of the same model not long after. We saw it with the Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ, and we saw it with the Subaru Trailseeker and Toyota bZ Woodland. […]
The 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback Brings More Utility and Even Better Styling
When the 2025 Kia K4 hit the market last year and replaced the 15-year-old Kia Forte as the brand’s compact car, it brought a healthy dose of styling and tech to what has become an increasingly neglected segment. From the brand’s signature amber daytime running lights to a unique funky fastback design with hidden rear […]
Don’t Let Looks Fool You—The 2026 Kia EV4 Is Set to Shake Up the EV Market
Over the last few years, we have seen a wave of all-new EV models inundate the market. However, almost all of them have been SUVs of one flavor or another, and they have all traded on a combination of high-performance and premium features that have put them beyond the reach of many car shoppers. It’s […]
Audi’s Electric Sedan Lineup Expands With the 2025 A6 Sportback e-tron
Since the debut of the Porsche Taycan-derived Audi e-tron GT back in 2022, Audi has focused its efforts on expanding its electric SUV lineup, launching the Q4 e-tron, Q6 e-tron, and Q8 e-tron. Now, it’s turned its attention back to its electric sedan offerings with the introduction of the all-new 2025 Audi A6 Sportback e-tron. […]
The New 2025 Audi A5 Brings Advancement and Confusion
The Audi lineup is in the middle of several major shakeups, and some well-established model names are being moved around to represent different market segments. At the center of the changes is the all-new 2025 Audi A5, which is the successor to the beloved Audi A4 and has no relationship to the existing 2025 Audi […]
Subaru Gets Serious About Electrification With the 2025 Forester Hybrid
When Subaru updated the Forester for the 2025 model year, the changes were so minor that they largely flew under the radar for all but the most passionate Subaru enthusiasts. But it turns out that the 2025 Forester is bringing a major update after all—arriving fashionably late to the party is the newly announced 2025 […]
The Best-Selling EV Just Got Better: The 2025 Tesla Model Y
The last few years have seen the floodgates open when it comes to new EV models, and drivers shopping for an electric SUV have more choices than ever before. However, one name still stands above all others: the Tesla Model Y. With approximately 400,000 units sold last year, not only was it the fourth best-selling […]
Now There’s Two of Them: The “New” 2025 Nissan Kicks Play
There’s a new Nissan Kicks in town for 2025—and we’re not talking about the redesigned second-generation model that Nissan announced back in March. Nope. Nissan has just announced that the first generation model will continue to be available to car shoppers for the 2025 model year under the perhaps overly exuberant name “Kicks Play.” This […]
The 2026 Honda Passport Goes Rugged
It’s no secret that midsize two-row SUVs occupy an odd spot in the industry, and the Honda Passport is no exception. Since its reintroduction in 2019, it has struggled to build an identity, unsure if it’s a family vehicle, a premium option, or an off-road adventurer. Well, for 2026, that question has been settled, and […]
The 2026 Cadillac VISTIQ Is the New Face of Three-Row Luxury
The Cadillac XT6 has lived in the shadow of the legendary Cadillac Escalade ever since its debut in 2020. However, its electric replacement looks set to flip the script and become the new halo model for the storied American luxury brand. While an electrified version of the Escalade (bearing the uninspired name of Escalade IQ) […]
It’s Alive! There’s a “New” Car in the Chrysler Lineup
It’s no secret that the Chrysler lineup has been getting smaller and more stale by the minute. The last time the storied American brand added a new nameplate to its lineup was all the way back in 2017 when the Pacifica replaced the Town and Country, and with the retirement of the cushy Chrysler 300 […]
The 2025 BMW X3 Has More Power, More Tech, and a Missing Letter
These days, compact SUVs are big business, even for luxury brands that built their reputation with high-performance sports sedans, so it makes sense that BMW pulled out all the stops for its brand-new 2025 X3. After all, in the first quarter of this year, the X3 came close to outselling the 3 Series and the […]
The 2025 Cadillac OPTIQ Promises Compact Luxury
Cadillac has been rolling out new EV models at a rapid pace to meet its self-imposed deadline of converting to a fully electric lineup by 2030. The brand’s first EV, the midsize LYRIQ, moved 5,800 units last quarter, and Cadillac has already announced that the line-topping Escalade IQ full-size SUV and the ultra-exclusive CELESTIQ hyper […]
The Honda Civic Is Back With a Bang for 2025!
The Honda Civic is the best-selling compact car in America, and it earned that position largely thanks to its exceptional efficiency. When it first debuted in 1972, the Civic shocked the world by meeting emissions standards without any of the power-choking emissions equipment American manufacturers were using. Given that history, it’s somewhat remarkable that the […]
The 2025 Toyota 4Runner Improves on an Icon
If you are looking for a traditional body-on-frame SUV that isn’t as large as a house and doesn’t have detachable doors, then you have one option available: the Toyota 4Runner. The good news is that it’s an absolutely incredible vehicle, and the fully redesigned 2025 model sticks to the same tried and true formula while […]
The 2025 Buick Enclave: Revolution or Afterthought?
Buick may have a reputation for appealing to an older audience, but the brand has been modernizing its lineup at a rapid pace. Now, with the reveal of the all-new 2025 Buick Enclave, Buick has unveiled the capstone of its new lineup and completed its transformation. The 2024 model year saw the introduction of a […]
The 2025 Kia K4 Brings More Comfort and Best-In-Class Technology
Kia has been steadily climbing upmarket, introducing stylish new vehicles with premium features, from the Telluride to the EV6. As part of this move, the brand has also been refreshing its sedan lineup, replacing its old economy-oriented options with more compelling models. In 2021, we saw the midsize Optima retired in favor of the stunning […]
The 2025 Nissan Kicks Is All Grown Up
The subcompact SUV segment has been evolving rapidly over the past few years. Once viewed as the budget option for shoppers who couldn’t afford anything better, subcompacts are now increasingly capable and comfortable vehicles aimed at commuters and other drivers who simply don’t want something larger even if they can afford it. However, this rapid […]
