How do Electric Cars Work?

1 month ago | cargurus.com | Craig Fitzgerald

The advice for ice cream flavors is just as relevant for vehicle powertrains: You don’t have to hate chocolate to love vanilla. At least for the foreseeable future, there’s no point at which internal combustion engines will completely go away. Despite having been around just as long as gasoline cars, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are still in their infancy, and there’s a lot to know about what makes them work.

1 month ago | cargurus.com | Mark Takahashi

Over the last decade, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has grown to include more carmakers, which makes sense considering how much technology goes into vehicles nowadays. This year sees some far-fetched concepts as well as several innovations that will be available next year. Understandably, electric vehicles are a huge part of the show along with a slew of new entertainment features.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Buying Guide: Cost, Reliability, and the Best Years to Buy

Jun 9, 2024 | cargurus.com | George Kennedy

There’s no brand more associated with SUVs than Jeep, and rightly so. Jeep virtually invented SUVs in the 1940s, and it helped lead the charge into modern SUVs in the 1960s with the Wagoneer and Commando. By the 1980s, the Wagoneer had grown into the luxurious Grand Wagoneer. However, it was still the same Camelot-era beast under its luxurious exterior and wildly outsold by the newer, smaller Cherokee.
Land Rover Range Rover Buying Guide: Cost, Reliability, and the Best Years to Buy

Jun 8, 2024 | cargurus.com | Emme Hall

Five decades ago, in the summer of 1970, the Land Rover Range Rover helped establish the concept of a “luxury SUV.” Its British creators had been trying to build something like it since 1951, but only found their formula after seeing the success of 1960s American SUVs like the International Scout and Jeep Wagoneer, which blended the capability of the bare-bones Land Rovers (later called the Defender) with car-like comforts.
Subaru Outback Buying Guide: Cost, Reliability, and the Best Years to Buy

Jun 8, 2024 | cargurus.com | Emme Hall

These days the Subaru Outback is called a crossover, but it wasn’t always that way. The Outback originally began as an option package on the midsize Subaru Legacy way back in 1995, and it once came as a sedan in addition to its familiar wagon-turned-SUV shape. A pioneer in the field, Subaru had begun offering all-wheel drive (AWD) cars 20 years earlier, and when sales slumped in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it mined that history to reinvent its lineup. The Outback was one of the first results.
RAM 1500 Buying Guide: Cost, Reliability, and the Best Years to Buy

Jun 8, 2024 | cargurus.com | Emme Hall

The Ram pickup truck has been around in some form or another for decades. It morphed from Dodge’s D-Series into the Dodge Ram in 1981 and then lost the Dodge badge when Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (now known as Stellantis) spun off its trucks into the separate Ram brand in 2011. The Ram spinoff came just two years after the basic Ram pickup had been comprehensively redesigned and it didn’t lose the Dodge badge right away, so we’ve included some information here about those early years.
Hyundai Elantra Buying Guide: Cost, Reliability, and the Best Years to Buy

Jun 8, 2024 | cargurus.com | Emme Hall

The Hyundai Elantra has been the Korean automaker’s compact car mainstay since the early 1990s. When it was first introduced, it sold primarily on its low price and gradually replaced the bargain-basement 1980s-era Excel, but Hyundai began materially improving it in the mid-1990s. After the late 1990s Asian Financial Crisis hammered South Korea’s carmakers, Hyundai Motor Group got serious about creating a master plan to improve both its products and those of Kia, which it merged with in 1998.
Toyota Tacoma Buying Guide: Cost, Reliability, and the Best Years to Buy

Jun 8, 2024 | cargurus.com | George Kennedy

The Toyota Tacoma has been the best-selling compact or midsize truck in America for almost two decades, and it had a long reputation for value and quality even before that. Toyota imported its first pickup truck, the Stout, way back in 1965 to challenge Datsun’s popular small trucks. It’s been building quality trucks ever since.
Nissan Maxima Buying Guide: Cost, Reliability, and the Best Years to Buy

Jun 8, 2024 | cargurus.com | Emme Hall

The Nissan Maxima has been the Japanese automaker’s flagship sedan since 1981, although its roots actually go back to the mid-1970s. Back then, most Americans considered Japanese cars cheap and cheerful transportation but little else. Nissan (then Datsun) was keen to offer a model that buyers could trade up to once they outgrew their tiny B210s, so it created a six-cylinder, midsize, premium-feeling sedan to suit, the 810. It rebranded the car as the Maxima to give it more character, and it worked.
