New Vehicle Reviews (Page 41)

The first Ford Bronco was released in 1966 to be discontinued some 30 years later in 1996. 25 long years have passed and finally, the Blue Oval has released the New Bronco, a legitimate SUV with an emphasis on Utility. In ’66, the Bronco had to contend with the CJ5 Jeep. Today, how does a New Bronco compare to a Jeep Wrangler 4xe, with its torque heavy hybrid drivetrain?

The Volkswagen ID.4 is a very cool electric SUV. It’s shown itself to be off-road capable, competing in the Mexican 1000 against legends like the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco. The Volkswagen ID.4 may not have off-roading as its main intent, but it makes a great family vehicle.

The E-Class is the most popular Mercedes-Benz model ever. The current tenth generation E-Class recently underwent a major update. I tested the 2021 Mercedes E450 4MATIC sedan for seven days and was enthusiastic - apart from a few difficulties in operation.

Hyundai Motor North America took the wraps off the all-new IONIQ 5, an electric crossover utility vehicle with a targeted driving range of 300 miles.

Toyota has been stunning us with hybrid technology for quite some time, but the RAV4 Prime is a truly spectacular piece of machinery. It is the second fastest vehicle on Toyota’s line-up, and it can get 600 miles on a single tank. Jeep’s Wrangler 4xe is not nearly as economical, but it has its uses.

Chevrolet was never really in the game in the subcompact crossover category (except the Trax). But now, seeing the strategic value of the segment, Chevrolet brings the new 2021 Trailblazer, a brand new model with a household name, to spark interest.

Yesterday, Ford unveiled their entry into the EV Truck market, the F-150 Lightning. Many fans were less than enthusiastic about the reported 300 mile range, but in 2014 BMW gave us something that eases those worries substantially; a petrol fueled Range Extender. See the i3 for example! In 2014, it won Green Car of The Year.

The Hyundai Santa Fe is one of the most popular models at Hyundai. For 2021, the manufacturer offers significant technical changes as well as a first hybrid version. Today I am reviewing the 2021 Santa Fe's new top-of-the-range Ultimate Calligraphy version that invites you into a sumptuous interior enhanced with quilted nappa leathers.

Ford shocked the world when it released their Mustang Mach E. The pony car moniker attached to an electric SUV is working well for the Blue Oval, but the Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid is a much more subdued, but very functional EV that has found itself a very stable customer base. This little hybrid is not a high-performance sports vehicle, but instead a business/commute-oriented sedan.

Performance EVs, like the Porsche Taycan, Ford Mustang Mach E, and Tesla Model S boast impressive acceleration statistics. This simple fact is undeniable and, as a result, the National Hot Rod Association, or NHRA, has decided to open its doors to electric vehicle owners who want to show off their skills at controlling that acceleration starting soon, in 2022.

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E has been on the market for about four months. Wonder what it’s like to live with one? Here are some thoughts if you’re not a current EV owner.

In 2017, the unique weather conditions over the Atlantic parented a great many storms, including Hurricane Harvey, one of the costliest storms that has ever occurred. Harvey wracked up more than 120 billion dollars in damage. Many people lost their lives to this devastating storm and many more lost their homes and vehicles to the flooding. If you must pack up and leave town to avoid a disaster, can your EV get you safe?

The Electric Vehicle market is dominated by cars that largely appear the same. No offense meant to the folks at the big manufacturers we know and love, like Tesla, Ford, Chevy, and Toyota, but the current EV offering is just not exciting, at least from a visual perspective. Sure, the Plaid mode Tesla has some insane speeds, but it just doesn’t hold an aesthetic candle to the light that is the Porsche Taycan.

We test our new favorite three-row crossover, the Acura MDX, and find that its beauty is more than skin deep.

I spent a weekend in Napa valley with a good friend who let me take his Model 3 performance for a drive. It got me thinking, is the car worth all the hype people give it?

Brandenburg's Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke is happy Tesla will be adding cell manufacturing at Giga Berlin site even though that will likely cause delay of vehicle production.

Looking at a used hybrid but want something different? Here are my reasons I would get a Hyundai Ioniq hybrid.

The Chevrolet Corvette C8 has been the subject of much ink since it was launched, especially since its engine is now placed in the rear center position. Soon we may see the introduction of the E-Ray version, which is expected to be hybrid and to replace the Corvette Grand Sport. But today we are going to look at what's new in 2021 Corvette and particularly at its Stingray Coupe 2LT with the Z51 performance package.

After listening to many Prius owners I picked out the top issued by generation that owners deal with. If you are in the market for a used Prius, hopefully, this will help you. Also, if you want to identify which Prius you may have this is a good article to read and find out which one is which.

We begin our long-term test of the new Michelin CrossClimate2 all-weather tires mounted to a Mazda CX-5 crossover. Here’s the positive first report after 300 miles.

The 2021 GMC Canyon AT4 takes on another off-road niche with a very fashionable vibe.

The top trim of the Mazda3 sedan is an almost perfect vehicle. However, there are two things Mazda has done that we need to point out.

In luxury compact and mid-size sedans it doesn't take much to take a back seat since these are some of the most competitive categories in the car market. In an effort to avoid being sidelined, Cadillac is adding features to its brand new 2021 CT4 and CT5. Among these is Super Cruise semi-autonomous cruise control.

Toyota invites us to “Let’s Go Places”. I evaluated a new 2021 Camry you can take more places than you could ever imagine. Might want to check this out.

If you search for 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid at HyundaiNews website, you will get this message: "Due to Sonata Hybrid’s short 2020 model year, the 2021 Sonata Hybrid remains unchanged." We are reviewing it this week at Torque News and our verdict is that it's one of the best sedans we have tried to date.
