First drive

The size of the 2024 Sierra HD AT4X makes most trails either inaccessible or likely to leave marks along the sides of your $94,000 truck.

Both the 2024 Canyon AT4X AEV Edition and 2023 Canyon AT4X off-road pickups are well suited to unpaved fun right off the lot.

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 Q8 e-Tron gets significant improvements to its battery and electric motors, along with aerodynamic improvements, that greatly increase its maximum estimated range and improve its efficiency.

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 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.

The redesigned 2023 GMC Canyon is significantly better and more premium than its predecessor, which raises the question: How much off-roading do you want to do?

The 2024 Acura Integra Type S delivers the raucous performance of a Honda Civic Type R, but with a more upscale look and feel and a longer list of standard features — and it’s a lot more expensive.

A vehicle that combines sport, luxury, comfort and efficiency sounds like a unicorn, right? Well, the all-new 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 does all of that.

The 2023 BMW M2 isn’t a perfect sports car — is anything? — but it’s damn close. If BMW can figure out how to give it a better exhaust note and make the steering more communicative, it’d be even closer. Just don’t stare directly at it.
