2019 BMW X7 first drive review
The 2019 BMW X7 is the German automaker’s long-overdue entry into the full-size luxury SUV segment. It's bigger than any BMW SUV to date. Packing three rows of seats and plenty of driver-assist tech, can the new X7 take on the Mercedes-Benz GLS and Land Rover Range Rover? And is this massive family hauler a true BMW?
2019 Nissan Rogue review
The 2019 Rogue is the latest iteration of Nissan’s consistently successful compact crossover SUV. This model routinely outpaces the giants from Honda and Toyota in sales, and there are a few good reasons for that, including a good-looking exterior, reasonably nice interior, and good performance at a value price.
2019 Toyota RAV4 review
The new 2019 Toyota RAV4 offers more tech, more luxury, and a higher price tag than prior generations. It’s also more capable off-road. Taken together, these changes signal an upmarket move for Toyota’s best-selling compact crossover SUV. Is the RAV4 following the 4Runner into near-premium territory?

The Toyota Camry offers space for people and gear and it cruises effortlessly. These attributes once made sedans the king of the car market, but it's no longer enough. The tech matters, too. Luckily, the Toyota Camry has tricks up its sleeve.

When developing convertible models, McLaren targets the same performance, design, and functionality benchmarks of its coupes.

The winning factor is a full suite of advanced technology features at a stunning price point.
2020 Bentley Continental GT convertible first drive review
The redesigned 2020 Bentley Continental GT convertible packs more power, updated tech features, and one of the nicest interiors money can buy. The Bentley measures up well to rivals from Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz. But what else do you expect in a luxury convertible with a base price of $236,100?
2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 review
Over the past forty years, the G-Class has earned a reputation as a go-anywhere machine. But as technology and the model’s customer base have both evolved, Mercedes-Benz has sought to bring some modernity to the G-Class. Can the new G550 find a balance between off-road capability and on-road civility?
2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country first drive
Volvo laced up its smallest station wagon in hiking clothes to create the V60 Cross Country. It's a lifted, all-wheel drive family-hauler that laughs at icy roads while coddling its occupants in a comfortable, high-tech cabin. We travel to Sweden to try it out on snowy roads a stone's throw from the Arctic Circle.
2019 BMW i8 Roadster review

Our test of the MX-5 RF gauges the sports car’s convenience, style, and handling against fierce competitors.
2019 Audi Q8 review
The 2019 Audi Q8 sits atop the Q7 in Audi’s SUV lineup. The Q8 tries to live up to its flagship status with more tech, and a greater emphasis on style and performance, as well as some references to Audi’s rallying past. Audi’s latest SUV competes against a wide array of vehicles from the likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Land Rover.
2019 Toyota Yaris Sedan XLE Review
Offering tons of value, the Yaris combines an excellent chassis, a handsome interior, and a fuel-efficient engine, all courtesy of Mazda, at a price that’s reminiscent of a Scion. The Yaris’ small price, though, comes with a tight rear seat and a small trunk.
2019 Chevrolet Blazer first drive review
The 2019 Chevrolet Blazer is retro in name only. It's aimed at buyers looking for a mid-size, two-row SUV that offers seating for five passengers and plenty of space. The lineup consists of six different trim levels including an upmarket Premier trim, and an RS package that’s more than just paint and blackout trim.
2019 Volkswagen Tiguan review
The 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan is one of two compact SUVs that offer third-row seating. Additionally, the Tiguan provides a better driving experience than models by the best-selling economy brands at a slightly higher price. The Tiguan is a great choice for families who want a premium SUV without a big price tag.

2019 Lincoln Continental review
With the 2019 Continental, Lincoln is on a mission to rekindle ties with its glamorous past. The firm's flagship sedan is short on tech, but it's comfortable, spacious, and smooth -- just like a Lincoln should be. And, with the 400-horsepower engine and all-wheel drive, it's seriously quick off the line.
2019 Ram 1500 Review
The 2019 Ram 1500 continues its campaign for comfort with improved ride quality, better interior materials, and class-exclusive technologies. With the availability of a mild hybrid system for both V6 and V8 powertrains and cylinder deactivation, the truck also makes a critical efficiency play.
2019 Genesis G70 review
The 2019 Genesis G70 is Korea’s first attempt to take on the vaunted German trio of BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Competition doesn’t come much tougher than that, but Genesis came prepared with an upscale interior, well-tuned chassis, and available manual transmission.
2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Review
At a time when all-wheel drive, lower displacement, mid-engine layouts, and dual-clutch automatic transmissions are the norm of the supercar world, the 2019 Corvette ZR1’s front-mounted V8, manual gearbox, and rear drive platform stands in opposition. Is this the very best of a dying breed, or a lingering odor of antiquated technology?

The 2019 Mazda CX-5 compact crossover SUV adds a new turbocharged engine option and two new upscale trim levels to the existing lineup. It’s all part of Mazda’s plan to reinvent itself as a premium Japanese brand, while maintaining its reputation as an affordable driver’s brand. We think they nailed it.
2019 Lamborghini Urus first drive review
As the demand for premium SUVs continues to climb, Lamborghini brings an all-new contender to the fray with the Urus, a 650-horsepwer performance machine that emphasizes luxury and capability in equal measure. We tested it and found it's a veritable tour de force of technology, luxury, and all-out speed.
2019 Ford Ranger first drive review
The 2019 Ford Ranger aims to be a tool for weekend adventures, and goes head-to-head with midsize pickup trucks from Chevrolet, Honda, Nissan, and Toyota. Ford hasn’t sold the Ranger in the United States since 2011, so it has to make up for lost time and win over buyers who may have defected to rival brands.
2020 BMW 3 Series first drive review
43 years ago, BMW created the sport sedan segment and still owes the biggest chunk of its annual sales to the 3 Series, but judging by the current version, priorities appear to have changed. Before we declare BMW disloyal to its roots, however, we have a date with the 2019 330i and M340i xDrive in southern Portugal.
2019 Maserati Levante GTS review
Maserati’s luxury SUV gets a shot in the arm by way of Ferrari-derived V8 power, but is it enough to go toe-to-toe with the established players in the high performance sport-utility segment? We hit the streets of LA and then head out to the twisting tarmac of the Angeles Forest to find out.

2019 Jaguar I-Pace review
Very soon, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW (again), and Porsche will offer EV models, but it’s Jaguar that leaps first. At $70,495 (including destination), and with 234 miles of range, the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace directly challenges Tesla’s Model X 75D SUV ($84,000) and disadvantages future rivals.
2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE first drive review
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE has active suspension that actually scans the road ahead of you, helps you drive, and even massages your back. This SUV eliminates stress with a program of audio-visual and tactile effects. Aside from all that, The GLE is a seven-passenger SUV with expected performance.
2019 Hyundai Veloster N first drive review
The 2019 Veloster N is the first U.S. and second global market vehicle from Hyundai’s N Performance brand. Built to compete against hot hatch kings like Honda’s Civic Type R and Volkswagen’s Golf GTI, the Veloster N must be stylish, comfortable, fun to drive, and affordable.
2019 Porsche Panamera GTS first drive review
The Porsche Panamera GTS is back for a second generation with more tech features -- including one never seen on a Panamera -- and, controversially, turbos.
