New Vehicle Reviews (Page 45)

This week we drive the 2018 Subaru WRX STI. It’ll snarl and growl but it won’t ravage you. STI gets a surprising new ride that will appeal to a larger audience.

Weighing in at close to 5,000 lbs, Hyundai's luxury division Genesis G90 is a reminder of how comfortable and accommodating a posh full size sedan drive and ride experience can be. But can a non-hybrid car this large, this posh, also be fuel efficient and sport-drive-competent?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT has long been one of the best performing SUVs in the US market, but to test the utility aspect of this high performance machine, I used the SRT Jeep in place of my half ton truck for a weekend horse show – and not surprisingly, the 475hp sport ute shines when being worked like a pickup.

For 2018, Toyota offers a very drive-dynamic non turbocharged 3.5 Liter V6 option for the reinvented Camry lineup, effectively countering the mainstream turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine revolution. Torque News experiences the top of the mark 2018 Toyota Camry XSE V6, presenting an exceptional drive and ride experience without turbocharging.

This week we drive the 2017 BMW X1 xDrive 28i and see how it handles the high-altitude of Colorado’s mountains. How does it outperform the competition?

I hold myself fortunate as one of the few journalist that’s experienced the third generation 2017 Honda Clarity FCV behind the wheel. Initially sold to select markets in Japan and California, Great Britain's “The Engine Room,” introduces the most dynamic fuel cell vehicle in the world to the U.K. and beyond.

I recently spent a week behind the wheel of the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel and after hundreds of miles of city and highway driving, I have come to the conclusion that the diesel Cruze is the best Cruze – and here are four reasons why.

I recently spent a few days driving the 2017 Audi Q7 3.0I Premium Plus, during which time I used the fun-to-drive luxury SUV to negotiate Detroit rush hour traffic in style and based on that experience, I would call the Q7 the Ultimate Commuting Machine.

The 2017 BMW X3 xDrive 28i is for driving enthusiasts who want to take the boredom out of routine commuting and weekend grocery hauling.

We discovered a superior touring car detailed in Honda performance Civic Si trim. Horsepower and torque while formidable, is but a very small part of what 2017 Civic Si brings to the segment. Simply put,this is the best driving, high performance,Civic offered to date. I'm no longer convinced that I need or want a Type-R.

The 2017 BMW X4 M40i is a family performance Sports Utility Vehicle. How practical is it?

Although 2018 Honda was purpose designed as an exceptionally safe, transformable kid hauler, I take a look at Honda’s latest and greatest with the mature eye of a “driver” whose kids are long grown. For me, I like 2018 Honda Odyssey for the comfortable, well connected long haul.

Admittedly, I’ve spun a headline based on Honda’s iconic buzz phrase of the 1960s. What can I tell you, I’m old school. Our story begins on the Big Island of Hawaii. Aloha!

We review the new 2017 BMW i3 with range extender. Two reasons why you might buy one now.

I recently submitted the 2017 Range Rover Sport Autobiography to a unique equestrian test, including a long road trip to the United States’ most prominent horse show followed by a local horse show with my own horses – allowing me to experience the comfort of the luxury SUV on a long trip along with seeing just how well this supercharged machine will pull the 2-horse trailer.

Hawaii is admittedly Honda country, and the Kona coast of the Big Island is no exception. Last week we enjoyed the experience of exploring the Kona side of Hawaii’s biggest island behind the wheel of the reinvented and much improved 2018 Honda Odyssey minivan, big things!

The new Chrysler Pacifica offers all sorts of advantages over the competition when it comes to interior amenities, but more importantly for some buyers, the new Pacifica offers the best driving dynamics in the minivan segment – feeling more like a sedan than a 7-passenger people mover from behind the steering wheel.

Is the newly-refreshed 2017 Subaru BRZ the best sports coupe value in America?

Definition: SUVGS, or SUV Guilt Syndrome, often results from the purchase of, ownership and operation, of an over sized, over chromed, Dub wearing, gas guzzling, 3-row SUV.

If you are looking for a roomy, fuel-friendly hybrid that is great in serious snow, the 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid might just be your best choice for the money – combining V6 power, electric-only driving capabilities and the ability to drive in any road condition including mud and deep snow.

It’s not often that a manufacturer lends a less than fully loaded car or light truck offering to a journalist for drive review, so I rented one, and set out on an 800 mile, 24 hour turnaround in the rain. I learned a thing or two as to Santa Fe Sports, front-wheel-drive road worthiness, mostly good.

The all-new 2017 Subaru Impreza has undergone major changes, and comes with more luxury, comfort and amenities than the previous generation model.

Sitting at the airport in Los Angeles I caught Kia’s Cadenza ‘ blindfold’ touch test on a T.V. commercial, as parking valets guessed the brand of the car they were sitting in. BMW, Cadillac and Mercedes came to mind.

The 2017 Kia Sportage EX AWD is a great vehicle for daily driving on paved roads, but can this Korean compact SUV handle the rough dirt roads of rural America? I spent a week driving the new Sportage on my local unpaved roads to see how well – or how badly – the smallest Kia SUV performs on some of the worst public roads in the area.

We drive the 2017 Honda Clarity FCV, a glorious glimpse into Honda’s electrification of the automobile.

We spent some quality time with the 2017 Toyota Corolla iM and found much to love about this high-value hatchback.

I recently spent a week behind the wheel of the 2017 Ford F250 Super Duty Lariat and while this big, powerful truck performed every task just as well as you might expect – the ride quality from this hard-working truck was far better than any of my passengers could have foreseen.

The all-new 2017 Subaru Impreza has undergone major changes, and gets five significant upgrades consumers should know about.

2017 Chevy Bolt is a wake up call for U.S. automakers, as the maker of Corvette, Silverado Pickup, and Malibu SS, presents an affordable BEV (battery electric vehicle) that gives Tesla an extended drive-range run for the money.

The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk offers the greatest off-roading capabilities in the model lineup, a cabin loaded with premium features and room for five for under $50,000 – making it one of the best options on the market for someone shopping for a luxury SUV that can be taken off-road with confidence.
