The Omoda 9 is not just another plug-in hybrid family SUV. It is a PHEV that feels much closer to an EV with a gasoline engine in reserve. With its Super Hybrid System, all-wheel drive, a 34.5 kWh battery, and 530 hp (537 PS) from a 1.5-litre turbo engine combined with three electric motors, the Omoda 9 is playing in a very different performance league than most mainstream plug-in hybrids.

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.

2026 Ferrari Amalfi Spider: Ferrari’s New Entry-Level Convertible Arrives in Canada It’s at the beginning of the F1 weekend in Montreal that Ferrari Canada decided to unveil the Amalfi Spider, the direct replacement for the Roma Spider.

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.

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.

Infiniti has been looking for a spark, and the 2027 QX65 aims to bring emotion back into the brand. This is not just another luxury crossover meant to blend in. The QX65 is bold, dramatic, and more expressive than the QX60, even though they share some DNA. Infiniti says it drew inspiration from the old FX series, and that influence is obvious.

The Polestar 3 and the BMW iX are taking two different approaches to the midsize premium electric game. Polestar achieved a balance of class and refinement without feeling like a couch on wheels, becoming a genuine player in the segment, while BMW took a bold approach on the outside and a minimalist one on the inside.

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.

Building on the renewed momentum from models like the LYRIQ, Escalade IQ, and VISTIQ, Cadillac introduces its latest Ultium-based vehicle: the compact OPTIQ. Positioned as a more luxurious counterpart to the Chevrolet Equinox EV, it incorporates the brand's distinctive premium elements.

A long drive tells you more than any spec sheet ever will. We picked up the EQE 500 SUV in Stuttgart. That matters because this is where Mercedes-Benz figured out how cars should drive and feel.

If the Lincoln Aviator looks familiar, that's because it is! You might recognize the Aviator from our 2022 review of its Plug-In Hybrid variant. For the 2025 model year, the American automaker has refreshed this midsize luxury SUV. We're revisiting it to see what's new; the Lincoln Aviator Reserve had an MSRP of $91,197 as tested and was built at the Chicago, IL, plant.

The best family cars, much like the finest wines, are about so much more than what's on the surface. They're about the journey, the character, and the ability to enhance every experience. This past 2 weeks, we had the distinct pleasure of testing the all-new Range Rover Sport P460e in a landscape that perfectly mirrors its blend of rugged elegance: the picturesque Southern Styrian wine region of Austria.

German automakers fiercely compete for dominance in every luxury segment. BMW, in particular, has excelled with the models we're examining today: the X2 M35i and the M240i Coupe. But are they truly worthy of the illustrious M badge?

In the exclusive world of six-figure SUVs, the phrase "off-road beast" takes on a whole new meaning. It's not just about capability; it's about making a statement, a lifestyle, and a no-compromise approach to luxury and performance.

Acura’s parent company, Honda, revised the legendary Honda Civic, thus laying the ground for a great compact sedan for both brands. The previous compact model from the Japanese luxury automaker wasn’t exciting, especially in its final years.

Stelvio Quadrifoglio Final Drive: The Best SUV Alfa Romeo Ever Built?

The Mercedes-Benz lineup is somewhat complicated; figuring out where each model fits can be confusing. In this case, the Mercedes GLC is a compact luxury SUV with multiple engines available. A decade ago, this model was known as the boxy, rugged GLK-Class before adopting the GLC name in 2015.

Our test vehicle, assembled in BMW's Spartanburg, South Carolina plant, started at $58,900.00 but ballooned to $ 66,450 as tested. We...
