SUVs : Car News And Reviews

Today, the market is filled with compact crossovers like the Kia Soul and the Mazda CX-3. But there was a time when there really wasn’t such a thing. Perhaps the first such production vehicle was the seldom seen, but now beloved Isuzu VehiCROSS.

After months of hype, Ford has finally pulled back the covers on its pure electric crossover, the 2021 Mustang Mach-E. This EV may borrow its name from Ford’s pony cars, but other than a couple of nods to the Mustang’s design, the Mach-E is truly its own thing – more Jaguar I-Pace than American muscle car.

Ford has been teasing its upcoming electric crossover SUV for some time now. As has been mentioned on numerous occasions, the vehicle gets its inspiration from Ford’s pony car, the Mustang. Now, we know it also will share its name, with its official name revealed as “Ford Mustang Mach-E.”

The Lexus RX has been the brand’s top-selling vehicle in the U.S. for quite some time. It got its start at a soft and cushy grocery getter, but over the years has become a much more enjoyable vehicle to drive, while still maintaining its luxurious styling and amenities.

Ford has been teasing us for quite some time that it was working on a crossover SUV that gets its inspiration from the Mustang. Now we finally know when it will be revealed to the public, with the vehicle breaking cover on November 17.

If there’s one consistent theme here at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, it’s that electrification is a key part of almost every automaker’s go-forward strategy. Among the companies showing off EVs was Mazda, a company who heretofore has stuck strictly with internal combustion engines. The new Mazda MX-30 isn’t just some far-off concept either – it’s an actual vehicle which is headed for production in 2020.

Jeep makes a very cool SUV in the form of the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. This beast is an SUV aimed at hauling people during the week and hauling ass on the weekend at the dragstrip. It has a 707 hp supercharged Hellcat V8 under the hood, making 645 lb-ft of torque.

The Audi Q3 is a nice little crossover, but it’s not exactly the most thrilling vehicle to drive. So leave it to the guys at Audi Sport to give the Q3 the boost it deserves, with the announcement of the RS Q3 and RS Q3 Sportback. These upgraded crossovers each pack a 2.5-liter

I’ve always said that if I was going to be left with a single vehicle to survive the zombie apocalypse, it would be a Toyota 4Runner. Not only are these rugged body-on-frame SUVs basically indestructible, they can go just about anywhere, regardless of terrain, and have lots of space for passengers and cargo. 2020 4Runner models are getting upgrades in the tech department like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa.

If opulent SUV exclusiveness is your thing, and you have $875,500 sitting in your bank account, we’ve got the perfect vehicle for you. We are speaking of the Brabus G V12 900 “ONE OF TEN.” This twin-turbo, V12 equipped G-Wagen stole the spotlight in Frankfurt recently, fifteen years after the first version was revealed at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. The twin-turbo V12 engine in this ultra limited Mercedes G-Class is a 6.3-liter

It’s been a long time since you could buy a new Land Rover Defender here in the U.S. Well, the wait is about to end. Land Rover has taken wraps off of its all-new 2020 Defender, and it looks to pack all of the capability and versatility we’ve come to expect, but complemented by lots of modern technology.

As momentum continues to shift more and more towards SUVs here in North America, it seems as if every major automaker wants to flesh out its lineup with an SUV at every size class. Last year, Cadillac took care of the compact crossover market with the release of the XT4, and now it’s created a 3-Row model to serve as a bookend for the popular XT5.

It was only a couple of weeks back that I got to spend sometime behind the wheel of the Kia Telluride, and I thought it was a very good vehicle indeed. Now that I’ve driven its Hyundai cousin, the Palisade, it’s clear the Koreans have a winning platform on their hands.

You might think that the Lexus GX is just another luxury grocery getter, but you’d be wrong. It’s actually a very capable off-roader, thanks in large part to being based on the same platform as Toyota’s rugged 4Runner, with its body-on-frame construction, two-speed transfer case, and locking rear diff.

I first came face to face with the Kia Telluride back in 2016 ago at the Detroit Auto Show, where it debuted as a concept vehicle. At the time, I was impressed with the SUV’s striking exterior design and its slick, ultra-modern interior.
