2022 Hyundai Kona Review: A Cute-Ute Formula That Makes Sense
30. Nov, 2021. Hyundai
The verdict: The 2022 Hyundai Kona’s tidy dimensions make it city-friendly, while available all-wheel drive and decent cargo space make it a true SUV. Versus the competition: The Kona’s engaging road manners make it more fun to drive than many in this class, but a tight backseat and small cargo area make it one of the smallest you...

The RWD version of the Kia EV6 impressed us, but can the AWD model do the same?

Audi Q5 Sportback Review: As Practical as It Can Be
18. Nov, 2021. Audi
The verdict: The 2021 Audi Q5 Sportback trades some of the regular Q5’s utility for a sportier look — and sacrifices less practicality than expected in doing so. Versus the competition: The coupelike SUV trend is a bit of a head-scratcher to us, given the body style often leaves less interior space than a traditional SUV (for more money)...

Tested: 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz 2.5T Shuns Convention
11. Nov, 2021. Hyundai
Hyundai's new Santa Cruz compact truck attempts to skirt the rules for traditional pickups. Breaking into the lucrative truck market isn't for the faint of heart. Subaru's Baja lasted four short years, Honda had to butch up the looks of its Ridgeline to secure a seat at the table, and even Toyota's T100 stumbled until it became the V-8-powered Tundra.

2022 Toyota Tundra Review: Better Where It Counts

The verdict: Redesigned at long last, the 2022 Toyota Tundra pickup truck prioritizes improvements for the many over novelties for the few. The lack of the latter may limit its ceiling for success, but core half-ton shoppers should find plenty to like.

2022 Audi RS3 Is Music to Our Ears
27. Oct, 2021. Audi
Audi's redesigned five-cylinder RS3 sports sedan is as vocal as it is potent. Earlier this year, Audi announced that it would cease development of all new internal-combustion engines as it transitions to all-electric powertrains by 2033.

Hyundai i20 N First Drive: Hyundai’s Best Driver’s Car

The i20 N is an absolute riot. Unfortunately, we can’t have it. Americans have a pathological aversion to subcompact hot hatches.

2021 Kia K5 GT First Test: Front-Wheel-Drive Burnout Machine
05. Sep, 2021. KIA
Never forget how important the right tires are. "Power is nothing without control."

The point is well taken, but Kia apparently didn't get the memo while it worked on the...

2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer Go Big for Jeep
16. Aug, 2021. Jeep
An old-school formula brings modern levels of comfort and technology to Jeep's new full-size SUVs. Jeep says that the all-new 2022 Wagoneer drives like the "smallest big car." After spending a day with Wagoneers and Grand Wagoneers, we'd probably drop "smallest" from the phrase. This is because at their core, these 214.7-inch-long SUVs employ the segment's proven formula: take a full-size...

2022 Hyundai Kona N First Drive: An Impressively Great Time

This isn’t an SUV—it’s a Veloster N for practical people. When you're interested in performance cars, you want vehicles best engineered to deliver the most dynamic fun—and that means cars.

2022 Audi e-tron GT and RS GT Make Us Forget They're EVs
05. Aug, 2021. Audi
Audi's new e-tron GT Quattro and RS e-tron GT are great sports sedans first and electric cars second. Somewhere between Los Angeles and the desert-like canyon country north of the city, the Audi e-tron GT Quattro ceased to be an electric car. Not literally, of course.

The humble station wagon used to be the car for families as diverse as the Bradys, the Foremans, and probably the most famous, the Griswolds in National Lampoon’s Vacation. But wagons fell out of favor for high-riding and cavernous minivans in the ’80s and ’90s, which then gave way to SUVs and crossovers, but some...

2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Brings Upscale Efficiency

A smooth gas-electric powertrain, quiet cabin, and premium features give Hyundai's updated mid-size crossover an edge. Unlike Toyota, Hyundai isn't really known for its hybrids.
