1 week ago | caranddriver.com | Drew Dorian

HIGHSPunchy electric powertrain, comfortable ride, hatchback makes it surprisingly practical for a muscle car. LOWSLimited driving range, silly fake noises, some cheap interior trim ruins the fantasy. VERDICTOnly a few years ago, an electric-powered muscle car seemed an impossibility, but the Charger Daytona proves the format can transition to a modern era.

LOWSFinicky infotainment controls, rough-edged gas engine, little savings over the near-identical three-row CX-90 Hybrid. VERDICTLike its three-row sibling, the CX-70 Hybrid combines electric power, athletic handling, and a posh interior to good effect.

Michael Simari|Car and DriverMichael Simari|Car and DriverMichael Simari|Car and DriverMichael Simari|Car and DriverMichael Simari|Car and DriverHIGHSPlenty of available tech features, hushed cabin, second- and third-row seats are spacious enough for adults. LOWSTop-spec Avenir trim gatekeeps all the luxury, bland handling, limited cargo room when the third row is in use. VERDICTAs a three-row family hauler, the Enclave excels, but it falls behind more luxurious rivals in other areas.
2026 Nissan Murano

2 weeks ago | caranddriver.com | Drew Dorian

HIGHSCozy interior vibes, luxury ride, well-equipped across every trim. LOWSUnhurried acceleration performance, fuel economy ratings are merely average, could use a hybrid powertrain. VERDICTThe Murano approaches its two-row SUV brief with a near-luxury aim but we'd prefer a bit more excitement. Overview Mid-size SUVs don't have to look boring, and the 2026 Nissan Murano wears a bold wardrobe that proves that point. Too bad its average road manners don't add anything exciting to the equation.

2 weeks ago | caranddriver.com | Drew Dorian

HIGHSUpscale exterior design, cozy Scandinavian-inspired interior, two refined powertrain options. LOWSSnug third-row space, not as fuel efficient as expected, too few physical buttons in the cabin. VERDICTThe attractive and upscale XC90 has been around for a while, but it continues to nail its luxury three-row SUV mission. Overview The mid-size luxury SUV class is a competitive one, full of stylish entrants with plush cabins, but the Volvo XC90 represents the best of what the segment has to offer.
2026 Acura ADX Review, Pricing, and Specs

2 weeks ago | caranddriver.com | Drew Dorian

HIGHSHandsome design, fun to drive on a twisty road, well equipped across all trim levels. LOWSCould use more horsepower, a hybrid powertrain option would work well here, interior doesn't quite rise to luxury standards. VERDICTIt's affordable, premium, and entertaining, but this Acura's Honda roots are a little too obvious. Overview Acura's smallest SUV—the 2026 ADX—is an affordable premium crossover with styling inspired by the Integra hatchback.
2026 Ford Maverick

2 weeks ago | caranddriver.com | Drew Dorian

HIGHSPractical for its size, fuel-saving hybrid powertrain option, easy to park and drive in tight urban settings. LOWSFirm ride may not suit all drivers, entry-level model is too spartan, the Hyundai Santa Cruz can tow heavier trailers. VERDICTThe Maverick is a simple, honest truck with enough capability for casual truck drivers who don't need something the size of an F-150. Overview Americans love pickup trucks, but the size and price of a full-size version can be intimidating.
2026 Toyota Crown Signia

2 weeks ago | caranddriver.com | Drew Dorian

HIGHSLexus-like interior, plush ride quality, thrifty hybrid powertrain. LOWSNoisy engine under acceleration, bland handling, underperformed its EPA highway fuel economy rating in real-world testing. VERDICTThe Crown Signia offers a near-luxe experience but is attainably priced for non-luxury buyers. Overview Like the Crown sedan, the 2026 Toyota Crown Signia SUV is a luxurious vessel for quiet, anxiety-free motoring.
2026 Toyota RAV4

Overview Compact SUVs are the go-to vehicle for many American drivers, and the Toyota RAV4 is one of the most popular choices in this segment. Toyota's volume seller gets a tip-to-tail re-do for 2026 and jettisons last year's nonhybrid powertrains in favor of a hybrid-only lineup. The RAV4 Hybrid offers up to 236 horsepower, while the RAV4 PHEV has up to 320 ponies and boasts a claimed 50-mile electric driving range. The RAV4's practical interior features seating for five and plenty of cargo space.
2026 Infiniti QX60

2 weeks ago | caranddriver.com | Drew Dorian

HIGHSAttractive exterior styling, the cabin is both practical and upscale, decent fuel economy. LOWSFirm ride, slower to accelerate than similar luxury SUVs, second-row captain's chairs only available on top two trims. VERDICTThe QX60 offers style, luxury, and value, but its road manners are not up to snuff with the best options in this class.
