The compact car segment has become increasingly competitive, and Kia is determined to prove it belongs among the established leaders. Enter the 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback GT-Line Turbo Limited, the range-topping version of Kia's hatchback, combining bold styling, a spacious interior, and a turbocharged powertrain aimed at buyers seeking more than basic transportation.

Built in Changwon, South Korea and priced at $30,670, the 2026 Chevrolet Trax 1RS is more than an entry-level crossover; it's evidence that Chevrolet has completely rethought its smallest SUV. What was once a forgettable value proposition has evolved into a stylish, well-equipped and genuinely desirable vehicle. With bold RS styling, a modern tech-focused cabin and a driving experience that feels far more sophisticated than its sticker price suggests, the latest Trax redefine

The Minivan Still Reigns Supreme In a market increasingly dominated by SUVs, the minivan remains the undisputed champion of family transportation, and few do it better than the Toyota Sienna. For 2026, Toyota continues to refine its popular people mover with a standard hybrid powertrain, available all-wheel drive, and a premium Limited trim that pushes the segment further into luxury territory. Built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana in Princeton, Indiana, the Sienna Hybr

The hybrid crossover segment keeps getting more crowded, and two of its newest entries tackle the same goal in noticeably different ways.

From Fit-Based Beginnings to a Civic-Based HR-V The Honda HR-V was among the pioneers of the subcompact crossover segment in North America when it debuted at the 2014 New York International Auto Show. Based on the now-discontinued Honda Fit platform, the original HR-V quickly became a commercial success and helped fuel the rapid growth of the small SUV market, prompting many mainstream automakers to introduce competing models.

The 5.7-litre HEMI V8 is back in the Ram 1500, but it returns to a market that has changed considerably. Turbocharged six-cylinder engines now make more power and torque, full hybrids promise greater efficiency, and a well-equipped half-ton can cost nearly as much as a luxury vehicle. Our 2026 Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab 4x4 was assembled at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Michigan. It started at $76,695, with the 5.7-litre HEMI V8 adding $2,600.

Genesis is a well-known luxury name in its native South Korea, but less so in the U.S. and beyond. The brand has grown from almost nothing in 2015 to over 90,000 sales in North America by 2025.

We've had a soft spot for the subcompact Mazda CX-30 since it rolled onto the scene back in 2019 as a 2020 model. We first drove it four years ago and walked away pretty impressed. We noted its great value and surprising refinement for the price, thus earning a solid recommendation. So I figured it was time for a rematch: a couple of days behind the wheel to see if it's still got the goods. Without further ado, let's get into it.

The Kia EV4 is a slightly unusual proposition. It looks like a sedan that wanted to become a hatchback, right down to its long roofline and fastback-style rear, yet Canada only gets the four-door sedan with a conventional trunk. After 510 kilometres in our Shale Grey Wind Premium FWD, roughly 80 percent of that in the city, it became clear that the EV4 is not trying to be the electric car that impresses you with acceleration.

At the turn of the century, Volkswagen Group was responsible for some of the automotive industry’s most memorable cars. The New Beetle was a global success, Audi was dominating endurance racing, Bentley was being reinvented, and the Bugatti Veyron was taking shape. Strangely enough, the current Volkswagen Polo brought us back to that era.

Hyundai has been on a remarkable run lately, but the IONIQ 9 might be their most impressive effort yet. Yes, Kia already had a large electric SUV on the market by the time this one arrived, but Hyundai wasn't content to share a platform. We attended the official launch of the IONIQ 9 in British Columbia, but this was our first opportunity to spend quality time with the vehicle on our home turf, in the depths of winter. This season has a way of showcasing a vehicle's true capa

There are places where you can drive a Land Rover off-road, and then there is Eastnor. Hidden among thousands of acres surrounding Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire, England, the estate has been intertwined with Land Rover's history for more than six decades.

Heavy-Duty Trucks Are No Longer Just Workhorses The heavy-duty truck segment has undergone a quiet but meaningful transformation. What was once a straightforward tool for tradespeople and fleet operators has evolved into something considerably more versatile; today's HD pickup is expected to handle a Monday morning commute as competently as it manages a weekend at the lake with a boat in tow, and buyers are increasingly unwilling to compromise on either.

Vehicle theft has become one of the biggest concerns for Canadian drivers, especially in provinces like Ontario and Quebec, where organized theft remains a serious issue. According to information presented by Ford and Peel Regional Police, vehicle theft still represents close to $900 million in annual costs in Canada, with recovery rates hovering around 50 percent.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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
