While the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse’s capability is impressive, what was more surprising is how livable this sports car is in everyday driving, a few trade-offs aside.

Big, silent, smooth and stylish, the electrified version of BMW’s 7 Series sedan mixes traditional luxury with next-generation tech, and the results are mostly fantastic.

The 2023 Volkswagen Taos is more likable than its second-to-last-place finish in Cars.com’s 2023 Affordable SUV Challenge suggests thanks to a plucky, efficient powertrain and ample room for people and stuff.

The 2024 Kia Seltos improves upon an already winning formula by giving its turbocharged engine a smooth, traditional automatic transmission, while continuing to offer an impressive mix of useful features and high-quality materials.

The 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre is the ultra-luxury brand’s first-ever EV, and its fully electric powertrain makes it even more silent, opulent and flat-out lust-worthy than any Rolls-Royce has ever been.

Even with a new standard engine for the 2023 Compass, its slow, awkward powertrain is still what’s holding it back from being good.

The big Lexus TX ticks all the boxes for what shoppers look for in a three-row SUV, but lackluster luxury trimmings make it a hard sell over more opulent rivals.

The all-new 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander impresses with both a highly usable third row and real cargo space behind it, not to mention a surprising amount of giddy-up-and-go from the available Hybrid Max powertrain.

A generously equipped 2023 Mini Countryman seems overpriced for a subcompact SUV, but a closer examination of its upscale trim and features — along with its athletic character — makes its steep pricing more understandable.

The redesigned 2024 Hyundai Kona gains striking new styling, lots of new features and upsized dimensions that provide better backseat space and cargo room than the previous-generation model.
