It’s more of a stubby station wagon than a hatchback, but the new 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback looks fantastic. Kia just pulled the wraps off this new K4 variant at the 2025 New York Auto Show, and it’s clear they’re not playing it safe.…

Besides additional complimentary maintenance, nothing has changed about Nissan’s compact sedan since I drove the 2024 Sentra SR. Still, I’m always up for revisiting a car to see if I discover anything new about it or if my opinions have changed.…

The 2025 Nissan Altima SR is a sharp-looking midsize sedan with a very comfortable interior and practical storage. While it delivers in several areas, its overall performance may leave buyers wanting more.…

The 2025 Mazda CX-70 expands the Japanese automaker’s SUV line by tweaking something that already works – presumably to attract a different buyer. For all practical purposes, the CX-70 is the same vehicle as the CX-90, with two rows of seats instead of three.…

It’s been decades since I’ve been behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Jetta. My last memory is test driving one at a VW dealership in the early 1990s when a 7-foot-tall, fair-haired salesman named Dirk sat on one of its doors to prove how well-built the car was.…

The 2025 Toyota Crown Nightshade adds new black accents and, combined with a Stormcloud Blue exterior color, creates a more dramatic look. With a hybrid powertrain, unique styling, a raised sedan design, and a host of features for the $48,000 price tag, is it the sedan you have been waiting for?…

The Ford Explorer has been one of the most popular vehicles in America for more than three decades. It’s been several years since I’ve driven one, so I was curious to see how the latest model stacks up in the increasingly crowded and competitive three-row SUV category.…

Throughout its two decades and three generations, I’ve never been fond of the Nissan Murano’s design. I have to say the newly redesigned 2025 model of the crossover looks fantastic.…

When I started as an automotive journalist, the Italian cars I imagined driving were Ferraris and Lamborghinis. I never pictured myself driving a subcompact electric FIAT with a 94 mph top speed and 162 miles of driving range – let alone one painted in a pinkish hue.…

The 2021 Tucson was the first hybrid SUV from Hyundai, delivering increased fuel economy while seating five and hauling all their stuff. Great as that was, Hyundai was not done as work was underway for the refreshed and updated 2025 Tucson Hybrid that is now in dealers.…

While the Kia Telluride hasn’t changed dramatically since it first arrived at dealerships in 2020, it’s still one of the best mid-size 3-row SUVs you can buy, offering appealing looks inside and out, premium trim packages and a long list of standard features that help make it a great value.…

We’ve already covered the performance and configuration details of the upcoming 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T and Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack. Now, we also have pricing and estimated release windows for the pioneering electric muscle cars.…

When I was starting out my “adult” life after college, there were still plenty of choices for new cars that wouldn’t break the bank. I ended up buying a 1986 Pontiac Grand Am as my first new car – mostly because I thought it looked cool.…

It’s the season for SUVs, and Porsche has a couple of appealing options for those looking for an electric model. The carmaker has diversified its all-electric Macan range with the addition of the new entry-level Macan Electric and the upper-mid tier Macan 4S Electric.…

Since its redesign in 2022, the Nissan Pathfinder has been a worthy contender in the highly competitive 3-row SUV market. The modern Pathfinder’s squared-off, angular styling is handsome and appealing, and its car-like ride qualities make it comfortable for everyday driving.…
