New Car Reviews

The current Maxima is a competitive large sedan competitor. As of 2016, we've driven a few eighth-generation Maximas, and they've impressed us with their bold exterior design but mostly upscale interior, both considerable upgrades over the previous model. Although it glides smoothly a bit over bumps as well as its steering becomes heavy at slow speeds, it's a fast car with...

Although the WK2 Grand Cherokee was still a blast to drive, it had one undeniable flaw: it was old. The WK2 Grand Cherokee has finally been phased out after a ten-year run due to the introduction of the WL Grand Cherokee. When it comes to Jeep, we think the company has a winner on its hands. Why? At the most fundamental...

It's not necessary to look any further than Mercedes-Car Benz's of a Year win from 2021 to see why we adore the E-Class. When it comes to comfort and style, this midsize sedan surpasses its rivals thanks to its combination of cutting-edge technology and classic materials like wood grain and stitched leather. The E-most Class's impressive feature is its ability to...

More active safety mechanisms and exterior design options are available this year in a smaller number of Acadia trim levels (hi, FWD-only Acadia SL). Even though the Acadia isn't a serious off-roader, it is well-powered, especially with the optional V-6 in the engine. Compared to the first generation Acadia, the second-generation Acadia is better at handling on paved roads and...

Recently, Lincoln has appeared to have effectively re-imagined its brand identity. Once known for making Fords with leather inside, the luxury automaker has managed to produce a series of vehicles that seem distinct from their quasi counterparts. In this regard, the Aviator takes the lead, sporting a bold, unique appearance that is a far cry from the Explorer's. Interior materials including...

Acura's RDX is a perfect blend of luxury and performance. With its quick AWD handling and capacious cabin, this crossover had been a finalist throughout our 2019 SUV of Year competition, because we were impressed. Long-term reviewers loved the RDX's dual nature: athletic and entertaining when we wanted that to be, but also laid-back and relaxing when we didn't. Our...

The Subaru Forester is known for its practicality. This compact crossover has a roomy cabin and a quiet ride, making it a solid contender in its market. Even while it's not the fastest or most exhilarating SUV overall drive, and thus more power would be welcome, our testing shows it has respectable 0-60 mph acceleration. The boxy design of the Forester...

The sharp looks of the RX should not deceive you. It's as comfortable as you'll ever find for a vehicle. The primary focus is on comfort, and it succeeds admirably in this regard. Smoothness and quietness are hallmarks of the ride. The softness of the upholstery extends to the rest of the cabin as well. When it comes to performance...

Despite its age, the Kia Sedona SX is a well-equipped minivan for families thanks to its comfy first and second row seating as well as its slew of SX-exclusive features. A smooth ride and strong body control are also features of Kia's minivan. There is a lot of power in the V-6 engine, and it doesn't seem sluggish as you...

A GMC Sierra 1500 has a refined appearance and a refined interior. The 2.7-liter supercharger engine is capable well before the 2022 notifications to the truck's powertrain options. The inline-six diesel engine, coupled with an automatic automatic transmission, provides smooth acceleration and quiet operation. It's also a great tow vehicle. The Sierra 1500's interior was a major weakness prior to the...

We've got nothing but praise again for the existing Accord, as well as the 2022 model is expected to be just as impressive. It's a midsize sedan that deserves to be at the top of our list. The Accord has some of the best rear-seat and cargo rooms in its class thanks to Honda's packing expertise. The Accord boasts the...

In a market where compact SUVs are a dime a dozen, the Ford Escape stands out. Ford's optional 2.0-liter supercharged provides strong acceleration, but the standard turbo-three has a difficult time delivering a smooth ride. In a hurry, every Escape feels like it's gliding along at breakneck speed. Big effects can send tremors through the body, but the ride quality...

Everything went right for Ram 3500 to win our Truck of the Year 2020 award. It's a heavy-duty vehicle that can tow and haul, but it's also luxurious, enjoyable to drive, and jam-packed with high-tech features. The outside and interior of the Ram 3500 are both eye-catching. The diesel begs for an 8 automatic transmission, but all of the engines are...

As a starting point, let's focus on the positive qualities of Blazer. Still, the Blazer RS stands out. Sporty Blazer RS models haven't lost their appeal since their debut four years ago because of their 308-horsepower six-cylinder engine, finely calibrated suspension and steering, and special AWD system. However, what about the additional trims? They're not all that horrible, really. Because of...
