SUV reviews

The 671-horsepower sports car is more appealing with less roof. “Think of all the money you’ll save on therapy!” That’s what my brother said when I bought a Miata. It wasn’t anything special—a 2010 Grand Touring with the all-important limited-slip differential—but it was a soft-top convertible, and it was mine. A 2,800-mile road trip proved […]

Aston Martin’s 700-horsepower SUV is heavy on the supercar and light on practicality. I wouldn’t want it any other way. The monochrome orange glow of street lights fills the cabin as my lover and I wait to enter the West Seattle bridge. When the light turns green, I gently pull my hand from hers and

We lapped Porsche’s 1,000-plus-horsepower EV. It’s a friendly beast. I’m too narrow into Circuto Monteblanco’s turn two. Lars Kern, Porsche’s factory development-driver ace in the car leading me around the track, pulls away. No matter, though. Tug at the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT’s right-hand steering-wheel paddle and you unlock Attack Mode, which gives you 1,019

It’s not a hard-core off-roader—but the Maverick Tremor is pretty capable for a unibody truck. The Ford Maverick is a breath of fresh air, a welcome reprieve from the hulking, high-priced trucks that are all too common these days. Ford’s pint-sized pickup is no bigger than a compact car and it only costs about $25,000

With Land Cruiser bones, a powerful V-6, and excellent tech, the new Lexus GX550 is the off-roader of your dreams. You wanted the new Lexus GX to be good. I wanted the new Lexus GX to be good. And folks, it is good. The appeal of a Toyota truck has always been great off-road capability

It’s not sporty and it doesn’t need to be. The E450 was made to cruise. You know, there’s still something to a good sedan. It’s becoming a lost craft, with all the rigamarole surrounding crossovers, SUVs, and trucks. Or even the super-ification of every sedan left on the market. The joy of a luxury sedan—emphasis

Why buy a bZ4X when this exists? Without a Toyota badge on the nose, you might trick your friends into thinking this sleek five-door is something more exotic. But it is, indeed, the latest Prius, one of the best-looking cars Toyota has ever produced. A single arching line connects the front fascia and bumper, giving

A good chassis and a clever drivetrain combine to deliver real smiles. But an infuriating infotainment setup makes it all a moot point. The 2024 Acura MDX Type S is a three-row SUV for drivers. It’s one of the most dynamically enjoyable vehicles in its segment, using lovely chassis tuning, quick steering, and a clever

An “X-Pro” badge brings a $53,000 price tag for Kia’s high-class soft-roader. We’d still go for the Telluride’s cheaper trims. It seems every last company would rather disrupt an industry than simply build something good. But in 2019, Kia did both. With the Telluride, Kia found a novel pocket in the luxury SUV market and
