Suv

The 2026 SUV market features a notable redesign with the hybrid-only Toyota RAV4 as well as all-new EVs like the Rivian R2 and Subaru Trailseeker. Favorites like the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride also get significant redesigns.

From luxury models to off-roaders, many of the new electric vehicles at the 2026 Chicago Auto Show are SUVs.

In addition to lowering the prices of almost every trim for the gas-only Forester, Subaru is aiming to keep the Forester Hybrid’s pricing competitive for 2026 with lower prices on every trim.

Based on our brief time spent up close with the new all-electric Toyota Highlander, the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9 are officially put on watch.

Toyota has redesigned its Highlander three-row mid-size SUV for 2027, reimagining it as an all-electric vehicle that will compete directly with the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9.

Nissan gave the Rogue a plug-in hybrid option for 2026 that comes by way of Mitsubishi, and it starts at $47,485 (including destination).

Available as an SUV or coupe, the new Mercedes-AMG GLC53 4Matic+ joins the GLC lineup for the 2027 model year and will have 443 horsepower and up to 472 pounds-feet of torque.

The multimedia system in our long-term Toyota 4Runner works well enough overall, but user-interface and smartphone-connectivity issues prevent it from being class-leading.

A rocky year for the automotive industry has meant the end of the road for some models and a couple of trim levels, as well as murkiness for the fate of some others.

For the current-gen Blazer’s eighth model year, Chevrolet has dropped the Premier trim level and limited availability of the V-6 engine to just the range-topping RS.
