For day-to-day urban driving, the 2026 Honda CR-V is one of the sharper, more satisfying crossovers on the market, and the TrailSport’s all-terrain tires don’t change this.

With enough power to match an SL63 and enough refinement to beat most any other AMG, the new 2025 Mercedes-AMG E53 is a stellar, daily-use performance sled.

It might not have the V-8 we miss dearly, but the new, turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid powertrain in the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GLC63 S E Performance is unbelievably potent.

Well equipped and reasonably priced — with solid driving dynamics, excellent onboard tech and more space than you’d expect inside — the updated 2025 Volkswagen Taos is a winner.

The redesigned 2025 A5 and S5 are exceptionally good luxury sedans, but the touch-sensitive steering wheel and door-panel controls are frustrating.

The 2025 Toyota GR Corolla comes out of the box with moderately track-focused brakes, tires and a configurable all-wheel-drive system, but we’d recommend the manual transmission over the new automatic.

Appearing in showrooms for the 2026 model year, GMC has expanded the Terrain lineup to now include the more capable AT4 and more luxurious Denali trims.

While far from the most hardcore and purist-focused variant in the Porsche 911 lineup, the 2025 Porsche Carrera cabriolet proves itself to be the shockingly well-rounded stunner it always has been.

Updates to Audi's bestselling Q5 family keep them technologically up to date and allow them to maintain a level of comfort, style and performance that luxury compact SUV buyers are looking for.

The BMW X3 M50 xDrive has been redesigned for 2025, the beneficiary of a reskinned exterior and a new cabin — and it is an absolute mess.
