The Polestar 4 compact electric SUV is finally on sale in the U.S., albeit with a slightly higher price than initially announced.

After getting some seat time recently in the 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan, we think it would have scored fairly well in our compact SUV comparison test, even with one major drawback.

For the second straight year, the Chevrolet Trailblazer holds the line on affordability, with the 2026 model starting at the same $24,395 base price (including destination).

The 2026 Toyota C-HR is a solid, moderately interesting entry into the ever-expanding electric SUV segment thanks to its sharp design, estimated 290-mile range and usable space.

With up to 42 miles of all-electric range, the 2025 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid remains one of the most impressive and versatile PHEV crossovers on the market — just don’t expect it to come cheap.

Toyota released a trio of bird’s-eye photos of a vehicle promising “all-new style, from urban streets to outdoor retreats,” that imply a new RAV4 is on the way.

In its top 2.5 Turbo Signature trim level, the 2025 Mazda CX-5 is tight, zippy, entertaining and devilishly good-looking — but it suffers from a fatal flaw: a nearly unusable multimedia system.

Toyota’s smallest and most affordable SUV, the Corolla Cross, is getting a slight update in styling and technology for the 2026 model year.

The Honda CR-V hybrid has few standout features beyond its exceptionally smooth drivetrain, but it offers a nice blend of space, comfort, utility, fuel economy and driving dynamics.

Kia announced pricing for its non-hybrid Sportage, and while the face-lift is minor, it includes just enough restyling to push its base trim level up in price by just over $1,500.
