New Car Reviews

The 2026 Acura RDX is a great choice if you want a small SUV that won't break the bank. It doesn't have as nice an interior as the Mercedes-Benz GLC-class or the BMW X3, but it's still a fun ride and costs a lot less to buy than those SUVs. It comes with all-wheel drive and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine...

The Subaru Outback was a mobile, low-cost station wagon that looked like an SUV. The 2026 Outback breaks with tradition by getting a new mid-size SUV-like body shape that, from some angles, could still be mistaken for a station wagon. However, it still retains many of the features that make Subaru unique, such as standard all-wheel drive and a flat-four-cylinder...

The Volvo XC90 is the best mid-size luxury SUV, even though there are many stylish models with nice interiors to choose from.  Last year, Volvo updated the XC90 by adding some new technology inside and making it look better on the outside. There are two turbocharged four-cylinder engines to choose from. The B6 engine, which is more powerful, has a...

Since the early 1990s, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has been the best mid-size SUV for people who want to go off-road and look good on the road. This formula is still used in the 2026 model, which features three different four-wheel-drive systems, a luxurious cabin full of technology and comfort features, and a smooth ride on the road. The main engine...

The Honda Pilot is a useful, modest mid-size SUV with three rows of seating. It has all the features you'd expect from this kind of car: lots of room for people and things, smooth handling, and even a TrailSport model that can handle a short off-road trip. The Pilot has a 285-hp V-6 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission, so...

Big, bold, and vocal are all words that describe the Cadillac Escalade. The Chevrolet Suburban and the less expensive GMC Yukon are built on similar platforms. However, Cadillac's huge flagship SUV plays in the full-size luxury SUV market and really puts on a show. The Escalade's tech-filled front cabin is a nice place to be in charge, and all three...

The Ford Explorer has been a market mainstay for a long time, offering a dependable mid-size car with three rows of seats for families. The Explorer's front two rows have a modern, roomy space thanks to a much-needed mid-cycle update that improved the quality of the materials used last year. The wayback seats can be folded down when not in...

It has three rows of seats and is a mid-sized SUV. People have come to expect the first two rows to be wide, comfortable, and equipped with driving aids. The third row, on the other hand, is only for kids. The 265-hp turbo-four engine under the hood doesn't use more gas than the next three-row SUV and produces enough power,...

In 2026, the Compass will still be Jeep's base model. It's a small SUV, but it stands out from some rivals, like the popular Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV-4, by claiming to be good off-road, especially in Trailhawk form. The ride can be a little rough even on smooth roads, but the 2.0-liter turbocharged 200-hp four-cylinder engine and standard all-wheel drive...

The 2026 Hyundai Tucson looks nice and is sophisticated enough to interest casual drivers, but it doesn't perform as well on the road as cars from Honda, Mazda, and Volkswagen. All-wheel drive is available as an option, but the standard configuration pairs a four-cylinder engine with 187 horsepower to the front wheels. The Tucson Hybrid has more power if you...

The Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade, both with three rows of seats, share the same base. The first-generation Palisade has been a great mid-size crossover option since its introduction in 2020, thanks to this link. But this new second-generation model is making a big splash with its completely new look. The Palisade looks more modern because it has straighter...

After getting a makeover last year, the Infiniti QX80 now has the plush interior and high-end exterior style to compete with some of the biggest full-size luxury SUVs. The luxurious inside of the 2026 QX80 is roomy, quiet, and full of features that give it an undeniably high-end feel. The chairs in the first and second rows are designed to...

On the road, the Chevrolet Blazer is quick and stable, but it doesn't look like a Camaro. This two-row mid-size SUV comes with a four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive as standard on most models. However, many of them come with the choice of all-wheel drive or a more powerful V-6 engine. During merges and passes on the highway, the six-cylinder...

In a way, the GMC Yukon and the long-wheelbase Yukon XL are just more luxurious versions of the Chevrolet Tahoe and the Suburban. All four full-size SUVs share the same chassis, featuring an independent rear suspension for a smoother ride. They are powered by either a diesel inline-six engine, which requires a lot of torque, or one of two powerful...

It's more expensive than its mechanically identical brother, the Chevrolet Silverado, but the GMC Sierra is nicer to deal with for picky customers and can still do the same work. As an example, the top-of-the-line Sierra Denali Ultimate lives up to its luxury reputation with 22-inch metal wheels, Super Cruise, and front seats that can be adjusted in 16 ways...

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD is a heavyweight pickup truck, meaning it is a beast that weighs between three-quarters and one ton and excels at hauling and towing. The Silverado HD features a 10-speed automatic transmission and is available with either a 6.6-liter V-8 gasoline engine or a 6.6-liter V-8 turbo-diesel engine. It also comes with a standard, extended, or...

If you want a small SUV that you can use off-road but don't want to buy a Jeep or a Bronco, the 2026 Land Rover Discovery Sport is a good choice. It shares many of the same features as Land Rovers that cost more, but it's more appealing because it's smaller and more affordable. If you're looking for a fast car,...

For your next family road trip, there are a lot of good three-row mid-size SUVs to choose from. The 2026 GMC Acadia is one of the roomiest. The only good thing about the Acadia is that its cabin is pretty big. The remainder of the package leaves room for improvement. It's even harder to suggest when you learn that the...

The X6, with its sloped roof, is BMW's most stylish mid-size SUV, offering a sleek alternative to the more traditional BMW X5. The X6's elegant look comes at the cost of cargo space and headroom for rear passengers, but almost every other part of the car is the same as its mid-size SUV cousin. It comes with all-wheel drive as...

It's easy to think that the sleek Kia K5 is a more expensive family car. Its interior materials feel superior to those in similar cars in the same class, and its exterior isn't your typical boring sedan. The front-wheel-drive GT variant is equipped with a turbocharged engine that produces 290 horsepower. In contrast, the majority of K5 models come with...
