2025 Mitsubishi Outlander

1 week ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

While sometimes we may question what exactly Mitsubishi is doing in regards to marketing their Outlander SUV, so far their strategy appears simple: Build a great-looking, spacious, compact-class utility with more features, flexibility, and function than anyone else. And for 2025, simple pays off even better. Mitsubishi keeps hanging in there and vehicles like this 2025 Outlander SUV are a big reason. This is a significantly updated version of the fourth-gen Outlander that launched for 2022.

2026 Nissan LEAF

1 week ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

Coming inside the LEAF, we have a completely redesigned dashboard…center stack. We have way more open space between the driver and the passenger. It’s way less cluttered. Previously the LEAF was very quirky with its interior design, that is no longer. We have simple modern. Our gear shift is just buttons right here, rather than that little mouse shifter that they had kept from the first-generation LEAF. And what’s great too is we have a Google Built-in System with these dual 14.3-inch displays.
Every Concept Vehicle from the 59th Annual Easter Jeep Safari

2 weeks ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

Every year around Easter, Jeep owners across the country make the trek to Moab, Utah, to ride the trails in their 4x4s, engage in Jeep culture, and celebrate the brand’s innovations. And this year, our Jessica Ray joined in on the fun at the latest iteration of the Easter Jeep Safari. JESSICA RAY: The otherworldly landscape of Moab is the perfect backdrop for this 59th edition of Jeep’s week-long celebration, but it is the miles of public off-roading trails that really make it a unique experience.
2025 Audi Q6 e-tron

3 weeks ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

The Q6 e-tron is not Audi’s first EV; they’ve been in the game since the original e-tron arrived for 2019. But it is the first one to arrive on an all-new premium platform electric architecture. So, time for us to get to work and find out if it’s a foundation that Audi can truly build on. It’s an interesting time in the auto biz, that’s for sure, as no one is really certain what the future holds for internal combustion engines or even EVs at this point.
2025 VinFast VF8

3 weeks ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

The EV market is a hot zone for startups, Vietnamese maker VinFast being one of the most recent. Deliveries to their slow-growing dealership network are taking place, including one Maryland locale where we were able to sample the 2025 VF8. This two-row SUV is currently offered alongside the three-row VF9, with the smaller VF6 and VF7 on the way. They all sport a unique look; this VF8’s Italian flare was instilled with design help from Pininfarina, accentuated by its “Deep Ocean” paint.

3 weeks ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

With new car prices constantly on the rise, we thought it would be a perfect time to remind everyone that there are still plenty of affordable options out there. But we decided to go one step further. Here is our list of 10 most worthy, affordable cars under $30,000. Most people will be shocked to realize that at the time of this list’s assembly, there are 45 new vehicles from 13 brands available for less than $30,000 including destination fees. But, we feel these 10 are the cream of the crop.
Hyundai's New EV Flagship

3 weeks ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

Hyundai is adding their flagship to the IONIQ lineup with the all new 3 row electric SUV, the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ9, So we joined them down in Savannah Georgia to take a first drive. The styling really speaks to me as a child of the 80’s, as Hyundai continues to pay respect to the pixel in their design philosophy. It looks futuristic as can be and I dig it. Active air flaps up front are well integrated as well as a host of advanced driver assistance systems.
Baby Bronco Ups the Ante with Sasquatch Package

1 month ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

While not as adventurous as its big brother, the Edge-based Ford Bronco Sport is far from barn sour. A 2025 refresh ups the ante with a new Sasquatch package we took to some of California’s dustiest trails. Sasquatch is available on the Badlands trim, still packing the 250-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo-four, and the Outer Banks, using the smaller 180-horsepower 1.5-liter turbo-three. Ubiquitous is an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel-drive.
Armada Toughens Up, Luxes Out

1 month ago | motorweek.org | Jessica Ray

In 2004, Nissan deployed the Armada as a Titan-based full-size extension of the Pathfinder family. Well, it quickly dropped Pathfinder from its name, and by the time the second generation rolled around, switched allegiances to the global Patrol SUV platform.

Driving the Cadillac OPTIQ tonight, Caddy’s entry-level EV ute. How does it set itself apart from the Equinox EV? Well a pretty impressive interior for one. Our tester goes somewhere around $60k. You also get 300 horsepower and up to 300 miles of range. https://t.co/0wNqBJ8kto
