2023 Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE Platinum+ First Drive Review

Compact Crossovers Jeff Wilson -
The awkwardly dubbed Ariya e-4ORCE serves up enough luxury & comfort - but priced against heavy hitters like the Mustang Mach-E GT or Kia EV6 GT, keep your performance expectations low.

2023 Dodge Hornet GT & R/T First Drive Review

Compact Crossovers William Clavey -
Sporting muscle car good looks, quick & agile handling, a convincing plug-in hybrid drivetrain, and a somewhat steep pricing ladder, Dodge takes another stab at the compact SUV arena. We see if the new Hornet GT and R/T deliver.

2023 Lexus RZ 450e First Drive Review

Lexus EV and Hybrid Mark Hacking -
An all-electric Lexus SUV finally hits the scene, joining its seven hybrid and plug-in hybrid siblings currently on the market. So, how does the new RZ BEV perform? Here's a closer look.

Range Rover Mark Hacking -
An all-weather road warrior. We put the redesigned V8 and PHEV flavours to the test.

2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Review: Where Blandness and Fuel Efficiency Unite

Compact Crossovers Graham Heeps -
Sure, the redesigned Honda CR-V Hybrid is more fuel-efficient, but there's no hybrid in cheaper grades. And those uninspiring looks, though.

2023 Kia EV6 GT First Drive Review

Electric & Hybrid Mark Hacking -
Kia's new 575 horsepower halo car (sorry, Stinger GT), the all-electric high-performance 2023 Kia EV6 GT compact crossover hits a new level.

Refreshed 2023 Subaru Ascent stays true to company heritage, enhancing tech & adding convenience features.

Subaru’s anti-SUV wagon receives a few key updates – and a new trim - for 2023. We put the refreshed 2023 Subaru Outback to the test.

2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV First Drive Review

Mitsubishi Outlander Graham Heeps -
PHEV pioneer gets a style and performance boost. We put the new 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to the test.

First Drive: 2023 VinFast VF 8 Review

Electric & Hybrid William Clavey -
It’s easy to approach a vehicle built by a carmaker that didn’t even exist 10 years ago with some prejudice. But the VinFast VF 8 delivers.
