Chicago auto show

We got to sample three all-electric pickups to see how usable and accessible each truck’s bed is, and what helpful — or unhelpful — features it has to offer.

The redesigned-for-2024 Traverse and refreshed-for-2025 Explorer are competitors in the three-row mid-size SUV category, and we examined them back-to-back at the 2024 Chicago Auto Show.

The 2024 Chicago Auto Show was a good reminder that there is life in the mid-size sedan class, with new versions of the Sonata, K5 and Camry on the show floor.

Kia unveiled refreshed versions of its K5 sedan and Carnival minivan; Tesla brought its revised Model 3 sedan and the new Cybertruck; and we got to see hotly awaited new models at the 2024 Chicago Auto Show.

Contrary to appearances, our in-person inspection confirms the 2024 Hyundai Elantra is refreshed for the new model year, even if the changes are remarkably subtle.

The 2024 Tesla Model 3 gets refreshed exterior styling and an updated interior with more technology and new design cues.

As part of its substantial refresh for the 2025 model year, the Carnival can be a hybrid on the powertrain front.
