Expert reviews

The 2025 Buick Encore GX Avenir is unlikely to disappoint buyers, but it feels equally unlikely to delight them: It’s a competently executed vehicle with upscale looks, but it does little to stand out.

A refreshed face, more standard equipment, a retuned suspension and a trick sound system means the updated Outlander isn’t resting on its laurels as the brand’s bestseller.

Subtle as they may be, updates to the Ioniq 5’s charging, batteries and interior packaging for 2025 cements it as one of the most compelling electric SUVs on the market.

The updated 2025 R1T electric pickup truck doesn’t look much different, but it didn’t need to — Rivian’s improvements keep it quick, quiet and luxurious.

Quiet, strong and pleasant to drive (but no more fuel-efficient than an LX 600), the newly off-road-capable Lexus LX 700h hybrid full-size SUV still feels in need of more unique luxury touches to command its six-figure price.

The new 4Runner offers enough capability, refinement and variety to satisfy even the most zealous of fans; just make sure the pricing works in your favor.

Smooth, quiet and deceptively quick, the smaller-than-expected Jeep Wagoneer S electric SUV is an excellent creation for a strategy that now seems outdated.

The 2025 QX60 gets power from a new engine: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. What’s it like? We drove one to find out.

At the lower end of its price range, the 2025 Lincoln Aviator is a competitive and luxurious three-row SUV, but the high-end Black Label version doesn’t offer the goods to warrant its nearly six-figure price tag.

The elaborately named 2025 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado Z71 Trail Boss is one of the best and most well-rounded off-road capable full-size trucks you can buy for daily use, especially with the Duramax diesel engine.
