Toyota C-HR PHEV review
Is it really necessary to have PHEV power in a Toyota C-HR? Jonathan Crouch decides. Ten Second Review Top versions of the second generation C-HR gain the PHEV powertrain Toyota thought unnecessary in this small coupe-crossover model's original predecessor.

2024 Mercedes-Benz E 400 e 4MATIC Lives Up To The Hype In PHEV
With a lineage that traces back decades, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class stands as a testament to elegance and cutting-edge engineering. It also happens to be one of my favorite cars in the world, so this review won’t be biased at all. Just kidding. It’s precisely because I know the E-Class so well, that I’m not going to pull any punches when…

Tested: 2024 Lexus TX500h Offers Large-Family Largesse
The TX is Lexus's most family-friendly three-row to date. Lexus's history with three-row SUVs is not especially heroic. The body-on-frame GX and LX have space but ride like trucks. The now-dead RX L drove better, but its diminutive third row had Porsche 911 levels of comfort. Lexus needed a better solution. Enter the 2024 Lexus TX. Sharing a platform with…

2024 Mercedes-Benz E 300 e AMG Line Premium Estate Review
Mercedes E-Class is a technological tour de force, but from behind the wheel it suffers from a distinct lack of character. The plug-in hybrid powertrain really delivers in terms of efficiency, but that comes at the cost of practicality, which is a shame given this car’s otherwise spacious estate body. We expect emerging rivals from BMW and Audi will add…

Tested: 2024 Chevy Trailblazer Is Outshined by Its Smaller Sibling
A refresh can't save Chevrolet's subcompact SUV from being upstaged by the Trax, which is both more affordable and more appealing. It's embarrassing to be upstaged by a little sibling. Just ask the Chevrolet Trailblazer, a subcompact SUV that's been around since 2021. The underachieving Trax sitting next to it in the showroom never really gave the Trailblazer cause for…
