Only Minor Tweaks for 2021 | Honda Pilot

Honda’s popular Pilot soldiers on for 2021 with only one main change: the 6-speed automatic found in lower end trims has been replaced by the 9-speed automatic that used to be reserved for the top trims only.

The Best X3? | 2020 BMW X3 Plug In Hybrid

BMW’s X3 xDrive30e might just be the best X3 you can buy. Although EV range isn’t enormous, the PHEV system is smooth and powerful, it manages to be less expensive than a comparable non-hybrid, had a federal tax credit and will save the average commuter some cash.

Towing Champ, Now With Extra Crazy | 2021 Dodge Durango

What’s It Like To Drive? | 2021 RAV4 Prime

If you were hoping the RAV4 Prime would be the ultimate sports crossover with a plug, you may be disappointed. If on the other hand you’re after AWD traction, a quick launch to 60 MPH, high fuel economy and excellent EV range, the Prime has that in spades. With a curb weight at up to […]

The best selling Volkswagen is now the Tiguan, whether we’re talking world-wide sales or sales in N. America.

2021 Kia K5 (Optima) First Look

Kia has decided to rename the Optima sedan and inject an unexpected amount of fun for 2021. The all-new K5 is the close cousin to the Hyundai Sonata and it gets the same new 2.5L turbo engine and slick 8-speed DCT that we tested in the Sonata N-Line a few months ago. Kia is promising […]
