Tested: The Lexus ES500e Isn’t Built for Speed, Which Is Why We Love It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you charge at home and need a comfy cruiser, look no further. If you’re considering a Lexus ES, you likely know exactly what you want out of a car, and it isn’t speed. Instead, you want cushy comfort with a splash of technology, an easygoing companion for the daily grind—a car that rides like it’s floating on Novocaine and applesauce. The latest ES is that car, so take the plunge unafraid. Except … it looks like portions of it were styled using a dull steak knife. Is there enough goodness for
According to Our Test Results, Stuffing a Supercharger in a Ford F-150 Lobo Is a Phenomenal Idea (opens the original)
Read excerpt
According to our test results, putting a blower in the Lobo is a phenomenal idea. When the Ford F-150 Lobo launched a couple of years back, we found it to be a fun if somewhat timid exploration of the street truck theme. Its lower suspension, 22-inch wheels, and special trim project the proper vibe, but we hoped to see more done in the engine bay. The Lobo’s 400-hp 5.0-liter V-8 can muster a 0–60-mph time of six seconds or so, which isn’t awful but also isn’t that much quicker than a Chevrolet B
First Photos: New Hyundai Tucson Looks Rad, but Can It Catch the CR-V and RAV4? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hyundai’s popular small SUV grows inside and out, with a rugged new look that’s hard to ignore. Hyundai has released the first images of the all-new Tucson small SUV coming to the U.S. next year. The look is boxy, rugged, and bold, pulling in familiar details like the Boulder concept’s flared fenders and the production Sonata’s full-width front light bar, while elevating the entire design into something fresh and new. The Tucson competes in the largest segment in the U.S. by models and volume, w
The New Nissan Kicks Rock Creek Looks Tough, but How Far Off-Road Can It Go? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nissan’s tiniest SUV heads out into the wilderness. Nissan has announced changes to its subcompact Kicks SUV for 2027. Well, we should say “change,” because there’s really only one: the addition of the Rock Creek trim. The Kicks was fully redesigned for 2025. If you’re not familiar with Nissan Rock Creek vehicles, they’re dressed up with the same outdoorsy, go-anywhere visuals as Honda TrailSports, Subaru Wildernesses, Hyundai XRTs, and the like. But they stop short of adopting actual off-road h
Mercedes Wagon Battle! E450 All-Terrain vs. E53 AMG (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The E-Class lineup has two wagons, one wild and one more mild. Which one should you choose? So you want a Mercedes-Benz station wagon. Congratulations—you’re a person of distinction with unimpeachably impeccable taste. But which one to choose? If you live in Europe, you have six options, in small (CLA-Class), medium (C-Class), and large (E-Class) sizes and with diesel, electric, high-performance, hybrid, plug-in-hybrid, and gas powertrains. In America, where we’re only interested in supersized m
