2026 Volvo XC60 Recharge - Winter Test Review
The Volvo XC60 Recharge returns for 2026 with subtle but meaningful refinements. None of them changes the character of the vehicle, yet all of them matter once temperatures drop well below freezing. This winter test was carried out during a cold snap that hovered around –25°C and dipped to –35°C with the wind chill. Immediately, what stood out was how confidently the XC60 remained an electric-first vehicle.

2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Winter testing and Family Duty
The Honda Passport TrailSport returns for 2026 with a refresh that finally unlocks the potential this model always had. The previous version seemed capable on paper, but not as cohesive in real-world driving. Honda tightened the formula this year. After two full weeks of winter testing, the transformation is clear: the refreshed Passport TrailSport drives, rides, and feels better built. The V6 remains smooth and predictable. The cabin is spacious and usable for families.
