2026 Mercedes-AMG E53 Hybrid Wagon Review: The Evolution of the AMG Family Missile
AMG wagons have always occupied a strange but wonderful corner in the performance-car world. They were never the obvious choice, but for those who understood them, they represented the perfect blend of insanity and practicality. Cars like the old Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Wagon gave us V8 thunder, ridiculous speed, and enough cargo room for a family road trip. The new E53 Hybrid Wagon does not abandon that idea; it rewrites it for a different era.

2026 Jeep Cherokee Review: The Hybrid SUV Toyota and Honda Should Take Seriously
The Jeep Cherokee is finally back, but it has returned as a very different vehicle. After disappearing from Jeep’s Canadian lineup following the 2023 model year, the Cherokee has been completely redesigned for 2026. It is larger, more practical and now exclusively powered by a conventional hybrid system that does not require plugging in. That combination may not sound particularly exciting, but the new Cherokee surprised us.

2026 Mazda3 Review: Sedan vs Hatchback, AWD vs Manual, and Why It’s Still One of the Best Compact Cars
Mazda3: The Compact Car People Keep Overlooking
The Mazda3 family is a pair of genuinely underrated compact cars that don't get nearly enough credit, and we're here to change that. Sales have been sliding since the fourth generation arrived in 2019, but whether you're shopping new or used, hear us out. We had the chance to drive both the Mazda3 sedan and the Mazda3 Sport hatchback back-to-back. The sedan comes in as a GS AWD at $35,240, the hatchback as a Sport GT at $37,690

2026 Toyota Camry XLE Hybrid Review: The Sensible Sedan Gets Surprisingly Premium
For many years, when people thought of a car that would transport them from point A to point B safely and reliably, the Toyota Camry was one of the first vehicles that came to mind. Today, we associate it more with a taxi vehicle, but there's a reason why people who drive a lot have one of these! Let's dive into the ninth generation of the most popular passenger sedan in America; our test model is a Toyota Camry XLE HEV. This model, built at the Georgetown, KY plant, has an M

Volvo EX30 Cross Country Part 2: Mexico Real-World Range, Real-World Roads
Part 2: Mexico Real-World Range, Real-World Roads
The move from winter testing in Montebello to Mexico City changes the evaluation completely. Not because of performance. Because of the environment. High altitude. Broken pavement. Endless speed bumps. Dense traffic. This is where daily usability shows both good and negative parts very quickly.

Leapmotor C10 First Contact: A Look At What Could Inspire Chrysler’s Future Airflow
We tested the Leapmotor C10 in Southern Austria in two versions: the C10 Hybrid EV, also known as a REEV, and the fully electric C10 Design ProMax AWD. Both were finished in Light White, and both quickly showed that Leapmotor is not just another unknown Chinese brand trying to enter Europe. The C10 feels like a serious family SUV with space, comfort, technology, and two very different electrified personalities. More importantly, it also feels like the kind of vehicle that cou

2026 Ford Bronco Raptor: The Apex Predator of the Trails
2026 Ford Bronco Raptor: The Apex Predator of the Trails Ford brought the Bronco back to fight Jeep, then turned it into a factory-built desert runner. The Ford Bronco nameplate came roaring back in 2021 after a 25-year hiatus. It completely shook up a segment dominated by the Jeep Wrangler. Since then, the off-road SUV market has turned into an all-out arms race. Buyers aren't just looking for trail-capable commuters anymore. They want factory-built rock crawlers and desert

2026 BMW X3 xDrive30e Review: The Plug-In Hybrid X3 North America Should Have
When we tested the gasoline-powered BMW X3 xDrive30i, it left us wanting more. It was practical and well-sized, but it did not feel as premium or as polished as an X3 should. The low-speed throttle response could be hesitant, the drivetrain felt abrupt in traffic, and the overall experience never quite delivered the refinement we expected from BMW’s compact luxury SUV.

2026 BMW i5 M60 Review: 1,620 km, 241 km/h, and 207 kW Charging
From the first few kilometres, the BMW i5 M60 feels like a preview of the next chapter. The car delivers enough performance and stability to suggest BMW has a future M5 in the pipeline and is keeping this model slightly restrained to leave room for something even more extreme. What you get today already sits close to that level. We proved it over a 1,000-kilometre loop from Munich to Graz and back.

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.
