Expert reviews

The 2027 Rivian R2’s combination of equipment, space, function and luxury for a competitive price instantly makes it a compelling choice in the mid-size electric luxury SUV class.

The Lexus IS 350 has an aged platform and engine, but its old-school design is part of the appeal for some luxury sports-sedan shoppers.

For better or for worse, the new eighth-generation Lexus ES is a landmark car in the brand’s unwinding history.

The 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E is a solid-performing, well-equipped, high-performance EV.

There's a lot to like about the NX 350h, an upscale, fuel-efficient, luxury compact SUV with a hybrid powertrain. It looks sharp inside and out, it’s thrifty on gas, and its user interface is intuitive. Unfortunately for Lexus, there's also a lot to like about less expensive rival compact SUVs from mainstream brands.

With more power than you truly need, enough range and fast-charge capability for road-tripping, and unmistakable Porsche dynamics, the 2026 Porsche Taycan 4 is an excellent daily sports sedan.

The Aston Martin DB12 S adds a bit more power, a new exhaust, comprehensive chassis upgrades and new cosmetic options, making it a sharper, quicker and more capable variant of the grand tourer.

If it's engagement, tactility and balanced performance you seek, no new car under $100,000 drives better than the 2026 Honda Civic Type R.

The 2027 Infiniti QX65 coupe SUV has less room, fewer seats and more style than the boxier QX60, but its differences go beyond skin-deep.

The modern Porsche 911 is all about balance, and there are few sports cars that balance performance, tactility and usability like the 2026 911 Carrera 4S.
