The 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is a major refresh for the crossover that slots between the subcompact and compact segments. First revealed for the 2018 model year, the Eclipse Cross is the last all-Mitusbishi model. Since then, the Japanese brand has started using parts from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance.

2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat: Absolute Insanity
The 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat may just be the most insane crossover money can buy. Sure vehicles like the Audi SQ7, Alpina XB7, and Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 exist but those don't have the same character as the Durango Hellcat. Additionally, the Durango is also one of the few mainstream crossovers that can easily tow over 8,000 pounds thanks to its three V8 engine options. There … [Read more...] about 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat: Absolute Insanity
2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Tire Upgrade: Will it Affect the Range?
A few months have passed since we've got the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Alex likes it a lot more than expected but the factories are too narrow for the amount of power you get even with this Premium dual-motor model. At 225/55R19s, they're not that wide; in fact, they're narrower than the rubber you'd find a range-topping Honda Civic Touring. They're also Michelin Primacy … [Read more...] about 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Tire Upgrade: Will it Affect the Range?
2022 Acura MDX Review: The Best Luxury Three-Row Under $60,000
The 2022 Acura MDX may just be the best luxury crossover that starts under $60,000. Why? Because it does so many things well yet offers such a strong value. Acura's new look is more attractive and it's most apparent in the MDX. Although it's evolutionary, the crossover's new face is less polarizing than before even with that new diamond-shaped grille and thin LED headlights. In … [Read more...] about 2022 Acura MDX Review: The Best Luxury Three-Row Under $60,000
2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 Review: The Ultimate-Hot-Hatch
The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 may be marketed as a crossover but make no mistake this is a hot hatch in every sense of the definition. Just take a look at it; that incredibly aggressive front fascia complete with larger lower air intakes and the AMG-specific Panamericana grille. With its compact proportions and round profile, the GLA 45 looks like a hot hatch with body cladding, … [Read more...] about 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 Review: The Ultimate-Hot-Hatch
2021 Kia Sorento SX X-Line Review: The Tweener Three-Row
The 2021 Kia Sorento may just be one of the most misunderstood crossovers on the market. Why? Mainly because it's a tweener three-row. It's smaller than the Telluride but it still has a more accommodating cabin than the Toyota Highlander. Kia also styled the Sorento differently, taking cues from the K5 midsize sedan instead of its larger sibling. Think of the new look as an … [Read more...] about 2021 Kia Sorento SX X-Line Review: The Tweener Three-Row
2021 Lexus UX Review: Bringing a Hatchback to a Crossover Fight
The 2021 Lexus UX may be marketed as a crossover but it's best to think of it more as a hatchback. Its exterior dimensions are similar to one and it definitely looks like one too despite the body cladding. When you get up close to a UX you'll immediately notice just how small it is, especially when seen from the side, and you won't mistake it for anything but a Lexus. The … [Read more...] about 2021 Lexus UX Review: Bringing a Hatchback to a Crossover Fight

2021 Nissan Armada Review: Big Boat Hauler
The 2021 Nissan Armada got a significant refresh, adding a new front fascia, C-shaped headlight clusters, and the brand's new logo. Based closely on the global market Patrol, the Armada is closely related to the Infiniti QX80. Other than the exterior styling, specific luxury features that you can't get in the Nissan, and the hydraulic suspension, which is exclusive to the … [Read more...] about 2021 Nissan Armada Review: Big Boat Hauler
