2022 Audi RS e-tron GT Charges after the Taycan
An early drive of Audi's version of the Taycan reveals some worthy differences. Despite being part of the same company, Audi and Porsche continue to compete like old rivals.

BMW iX3 SUV review
"The BMW iX3 is an electric variant of the popular X3 with a 285-mile range" While BMW wowed the world with its i3 electric hatchback and i8 plug-in hybrid coupe, the all-electric BMW iX3 SUV is altogether a more staid proposition. This time round BMW is taking a similar approach to Peugeot and Hyundai by serving up an electric version…

Toyota Corolla Trek
"Go anywhere looks for faux off-road Corolla wagon" Take the recently introduced Corolla Touring Sports estate, elevate the ride height, add some cladding to the bodywork and the result is this – the Toyota Corolla Trek.

Our 2019 Mazda CX-5 Turbo Was Easy to Love
From its excellent road manners to its upscale interior to its perfect reliability over 40,000 miles, Mazda's compact crossover served us well. You don't have to say "compact crossover" three times in a row to make one appear; the parking lot is already full of them.

2021 Nissan Rogue Review: More Steps Forward Than Backward
The verdict: The redesigned 2021 Nissan Rogue adds much-needed driving refinement, though it comes with a bothersome side of ride firmness. Versus the competition: Return shoppers will miss the outgoing Rogue’s soft ride, but firm suspension tuning never stopped a compact SUV from selling like gangbusters.

Mercedes-Benz E 220 d 2021 Executive Car Of The Year
If you were going to list the key attributes any executive saloon needed to posses, it would read like a checklist for the new Mercedes E-Class: style, space, comfort and an element of luxury, efficiency, performance and technology.

Tested: 2021 Lexus IS350 F Sport Deserves a Better Engine
Lexus's updated IS350 F Sport has the looks to kill but it doesn't deliver sufficient thrills. Sedans are dead, at least that's the conventional wisdom. The trend toward crossovers has seemingly placed four-door cars on death row, but while they're down, they're not out of appeals. New sports sedans are still being introduced. Lexus's updated 2021 IS350 F Sport is…
