Rivian’s updated, second-generation R1T electric pickup has a super-powerful Quad Motor version that brings explosive acceleration, individual-wheel-controlled all-wheel drive, and some slick off-road tricks.

While the Blazer EV’s starting price is in line with other mid-size electric SUVs, the SS trim’s sky-high cost of entry puts it in Cadillac territory.

The Impreza RS is meant to be a sporty version of Subaru’s compact four-door hatchback, but it's more comfortable than sporty, with a soft-riding suspension, unhurried acceleration and cushy seats.

Compared to the prior generation, the biggest clear change for this “all-new” off-road-focused 2026 Forester Wilderness is a new all-terrain tire that’s slightly wider and taller.

For 2026, the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is the one to get in the Crosstrek lineup as long as it’s within budget and you don’t need the capability of the Wilderness trim.

SUVs and EVs have a few natural handicaps when it comes to offering a sporty, engaging driving experience; the Porsche Macan Electric aims to overcome those and feel like a true Porsche.

The 2026 Corolla Cross is only mildly refreshed for the new model year, and it’s up to you if these changes are worth the modest price increase versus the 2025 model.

Smooth, elegant, comfortable, luxurious and featuring great all-electric range, the Mercedes-Benz S580e plug-in hybrid is still a benchmark — but it’s a harder sell than it once was thanks to its overly fussy screens, touch-sensitive controls and tricky electronics.

Few EVs match the drama of the EX30's exterior or the simplicity of its interior, but many do a better job being a relatively affordable second car or city runabout, often at a lower price.

When it goes on sale, the Leaf S+ trim level will start at $31,485 (including destination), making it the most affordable electric vehicle on the American market.
