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.

2027 Infiniti QX65 First Drive: The FX Spirit Returns, With One Loud Caveat
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.

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.

Hyundai IONIQ 5 N: When Electric Performance Gets Serious
Over the last decade, Hyundai has been on an absolute roll. It started with head-turning designs that made people do a double-take, but with the new IONIQ 5 N, they've taken things to a whole new level. This car feels like the company finally told its engineers, "Go have fun." They ran with it. It's a high-performance machine that proves Hyundai isn't just playing the game; they're changing it.

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.
