One of the most popular small luxury cars has come in for a reinvention. This time, the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class has grown bigger, has gained more technology—and now, it’s driven by batteries. It’s a compact sedan with a rakish profile and a choice of gas-electric or battery-electric driving, and a rival for vehicles like the Hyundai…
The 2025 Ford Ranger offers spirited performance and decent off-road ability even in its most basic form. It’s a 7 here. The Raptor would net another point for its all-around competence if rated separately. Four-wheel drive is available. It’s a part-time system controlled via a knob on the center console. Ford offers a locking rear…
Pleasantly quick, impressively stable, and with sharp steering, the ADX surprises with its driving behavior. It’s a 7.

Blistering acceleration, a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds, and off-road capability that exceeds every Jeep not named Wrangler defines the 2025 R1S as a performance SUV unlike any other. Yet it has refined on-road manners for long family road trips. It’s a 9. Yes. At least one motor powers each axle for more balanced torque…
While Audi still offers gas-powered utility vehicles in the form of the Q3, Q5, Q7, and Q8, it’s the battery-powered SUVs like the 2025 Q6 E-Tron that will convince many drivers to make their own power move. A midsize electric crossover that seats five, the 2025 Audi Q6 E-Tron slots in between the Q4 and…
The Chevrolet Malibu has been a staple in the midsize sedan market for decades, but its time is coming to an end.
