Drivers will have one less option to choose from at their local Ford dealership next year as the brand discontinues its popular compact SUV, restricting drivers’ hunts for a Ford Escape for sale to the used market. However, this could actually be a promising sign of things to come from the Big Blue Oval. While […]
When it comes to vehicles, people have all kinds of different qualifiers for why they go with one make or model over another. Maybe they prefer greater fuel efficiency to conserve money on gas costs and take longer drives. Perhaps they want ultimate performance with off-road features for adventurous treks. Or, maybe they want a […]
Since its introduction to American shores in 1976, the Honda Accord has established itself as arguably the premier midsize sedan. Over the decades, it’s maintained a reputation as a reliable, practical, and high-value machine. The Honda Accord has been named to Car and Driver’s 10Best list a record 39 times, and it has received numerous […]
I’m always skeptical when it comes to car revivals. On one hand, it’s exciting to see a beloved nameplate return from the dead—especially one that shaped my love for cars in the first place. On the other hand, most resurrections fail to capture the magic of the original. Some feel like ghosts in modern clothes. […]
Active driver assistance is now standard on many cars. The most common advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), like automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning, appear on more than 90% of new vehicles. They’re only expected to make further inroads, with the AutoPacific 2025 Future Vehicle Planner study finding that ADAS and semi-autonomous systems are […]
Over the past few decades, we’ve seen commuters switch their allegiance from sleek sedans to taller crossovers and SUVs. People like their larger cargo areas and better view of the world around them. While there aren’t nearly as many sedans available today as there used to be, there are many great used examples out there. […]
As part of the triumphant return of the Ford Bronco nameplate, Ford introduced a little brother that has become successful in its own right. The Ford Bronco Sport debuted in late 2020 as a subcompact SUV alternative to the traditional body-on-frame Bronco, offering light to mid-level off-roading ability and a strong road presence. It was […]
What do you do when the power goes out at home? If you don’t own a standalone generator or battery bank, the traditional approach has been to grab a few flashlights, keep the fridge closed as much as possible, and wait it out. However, the rapid advance of EV technology has opened a new possibility: […]
If you see a Buick Envision for sale, don’t write it off just because it has a slightly higher MSRP than General Motors’ other compact SUVs. General Motors makes a few solid options across its nameplates, Chevy, GMC, and Buick. The truth is that Chevy’s Equinox and GMC’s Terrain seem to get more publicity than […]
An EV revolution has been trumpeted for decades, but while Asia and Europe jumped in headfirst, America is still having trouble dipping its toes in the water. After an initial surge in market share, EVs have slowed and even stalled, making up just 7.4% of total vehicles as of June 2025, according to CarEdge. The […]
Ford revolutionized an entire industry by popularizing the assembly line approach to automotive construction. Now America’s most productive brand is looking to bring that same innovative approach to the EV segment as part of a substantial $5 billion investment. While the automaker has been at the forefront of the modern EV wave with models like […]
Like so many aspects of modern life, a good EV road trip starts with a visit to the app store. While EV charging stations are becoming a common sight on highways and byways across the US, those embracing the new generation of all-electric vehicles still need to do a little extra planning if they hope […]
As we edge closer to a future dominated by EVs, Kia is stepping up with the EV4, its first global EV sedan. Arriving at a Kia dealer near you in early 2026, it’s packed with innovations designed to make your drive safer, smarter, and downright easier. Building on the success of models like the EV6 […]
A new model year will often hit the scene for a vehicle, and you’d have to go out of your way to notice much of a difference in it. Unless someone tells you that one model is a different year from another, most of the time you’d never even know. Anyone looking for a Kia […]
Nowadays, the cars that we drive are made all over the globe, so it’s kind of weird to think that there are models out there that we’ve never heard of before here in the United States. In fact, there are many models that we don’t have access to in North America, and one of them […]
Every driver knows Jeep is a powerhouse in the off-road segment, crafting rugged vehicles equipped with some of the best 4×4 technology available. The Grand Cherokee, for instance, can be paired with a selection of heavy-duty 4×4 systems ranging from the base Quadra-Trac I design to Quadra-Trac II and the most advanced Quadra-Drive II. There’s […]
Years ago, I ventured off the pavement in my stock Wrangler with a group of seasoned off-roaders. They were patient trail leaders, choosing routes mild enough for my Jeep but just challenging enough to show off the real stars of the convoy: their Toyota Tacomas. Each one was kitted out like a rolling REI catalog—knobby […]
Who among us has watched a James Bond film and not immediately wanted one of each of the sophisticated spy’s svelte motorcars? James Bond is undoubtedly one of the coolest fictional characters invented, so it stands to reason that he doesn’t drive just any old car. While Bond has slid behind the steering wheel of […]
Everything is expensive these days, but that doesn’t mean you should have to spend your life savings on a new vehicle. That’s also true if you want something more specialized, such as a truck with plenty of cargo room in the bed, an off-road-ready design, and a serious powerplant under the hood. To illustrate that […]
The Chevy lineup has something for just about everyone (unless, that is, you’re looking for a practical sedan, but I’m not going to get into that today). The Equinox is a great example of a compact SUV designed to meet a wide range of needs. What’s quite notable is that there’s both an Equinox with […]
