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 […]
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 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 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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
Almost two years ago, Dodge pulled the covers off its Charger Daytona prototype––an all-electric take on its infamous muscle car lineup. A year later, it announced the “last call” for the HEMI V8 versions of the Charger and Challenger. After that, the brand went radio silent on its plans for the future, and we had […]
When most drivers think of hybrids, they tend to imagine cars like the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, and Chevy Volt––compact commuter models designed to save fuel above all else. In recent years, this has been changing, as hybrid technology has taken over segments ranging from supercars like the Corvette E-Ray to off-road machines like the […]
The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer is here, and it’s not particularly exciting––but that’s not a bad thing. Even though the Explorer has now gone untouched for five years, that hasn’t slowed it down. Last year, Ford sold no fewer than 186,799 Explorers, making it the brand’s second best-selling vehicle after the juggernaut that is the […]
Last year, Mazda impressed us all when it unveiled the 2024 CX-90, an all-new three-row SUV designed to take the place of the dependable CX-9. The CX-90 was a vehicle of many firsts, introducing a new rear-wheel drive platform, a new turbocharged inline-six engine, and a new plug-in hybrid powertrain, further burnishing Mazda’s credentials as […]
More electric vehicle (EV) options are entering the market seemingly every day, but it’s no secret that the real competition is between three California-based startups: Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid. While Tesla is by far the best-known of the three, Lucid currently holds the record for the longest-ranged EV on the market. The Lucid Air Sapphire […]
The Toyota Camry isn’t a model known for making waves. In fact, it may well be one of the most unassuming vehicles on the market. But Toyota has decided to do something radical for the all-new 2025 Camry, ditching all the traditional gasoline engines in favor of a standard hybrid powertrain. It’s a bold move […]
Two years ago, the name “Toyota Crown” meant nothing to the average driver. Despite being the oldest model in the manufacturer’s lineup and the first Toyota sold in the United States, the Crown never found much success in America and vanished from our shores in 1973. Now, the Crown is back with a vengeance. The […]
With the debut of the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Chevy Silverado 1500 EV, only one member of the Big Three was left without an electric pickup truck. Ram plans to remedy that problem with the upcoming 2025 Ram 1500 REV, but it has just announced a second electrified option: the 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger. […]
The Ram 1500 and the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine go together like ice cream and apple pie, with the two being inseparable since the big V8 was introduced in 2003. However, the winds of change are blowing, and the redesigned 2025 Ram 1500 brings an all-new powertrain in the form of the mighty turbocharged Hurricane […]
