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.
Ram 1500 Goes the Distance with 10 Year, 100K Mile Warranty

1 week ago | motorweek.org | Alex Kellum

We’ve all heard it: Your personal vehicle is likely to be the second biggest purchase of your life. And as the cost of vehicles climbs, the length of loans being offered has risen too. People are also keeping their vehicles for much longer, and the average age of vehicles on the road has grown to nearly 13 years. Ram figures such an important and long-term investment deserves a comparable warranty. As such, the American automaker has announced a new 10-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.

Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is a 1,250 HP American Hypercar

1 week ago | motorweek.org | Alex Kellum

From its mid-engine layout to its implementation of the first production all-wheel-drive and electrified variant, the eighth-generation Corvette has seen a massive shift for Chevrolet’s sports car icon. We figured the 1,064 horsepower ZR1, announced last year, would be the pinnacle of Bowtie performance for at least a while. Well, that was short lived. Chevrolet has announced the 2026 ZR1X, a 1,250-horsepower hypercar that combines today’s electrification with timeless American V8 might.
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.
Ford F-150 Lobo Continues Street Truck Streak

2 weeks ago | motorweek.org | Alex Kellum

As if the Ford Maverick wasn’t already popular enough, people went loco for the Lobo when it was announced last year, and we have to agree with the hype since driving (and autocrossing) this factory-fresh street truck for ourselves. “Lobo,” for those unaware, means “wolf” in Spanish; and this lone wolf is now part of a two-canine pack, joined by the 2025 F-150 Lobo. Announced today, the F-150 Lobo rides the wave of street truck nostalgia.

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 Bentley Bentayga Speed: W12 Who?

2 weeks ago | motorweek.org | Alex Kellum

In an unfortunate breakup, the 2025 Bentley Bentayga Speed dumps the 6.0-liter turbocharged W12 that sat as the top-of-the-line engine option for most of its models, rebounding with a twin-turbo V8. Though the performance SUV drops four cylinders, you shouldn’t look at that as a downgrade, as this new power plant makes the updated Bentayga Speed the fastest and most athletic Bentley SUV to date.
Ram Charges Towards 2026 NASCAR Return

2 weeks ago | motorweek.org | Alex Kellum

The age-old adage ”win on Sunday, sell on Monday” will soon be a part of Ram’s marketing strategy once more. After a 13-year hiatus, Ram is returning to the NASCAR Craftsman truck series, part of an ongoing “Ram-demption” marketing push. This strategy in particular should appease the more than 40 percent of NASCAR fans that double as pickup truck owners. With their eyes set on Daytona, eight or so months away, Ram has their work cut out for them; but, it may not be as much as initially conceived.
Ford Mustang FX is a Fox Body Throwback

3 weeks ago | motorweek.org | Alex Kellum

The Ford Mustang has been around for more than 60 years, adapting to the times along the way. And in the 80’s, the decade of heavy synth, the mix tape and colorful clothing, the Fox Body design represented the Blue Oval’s venerable pony car with a design as iconic as its 5.0-liter V8. The Fox Body ran from 1979 to 1993, becoming the longest running Mustang generation to date; and even 30 years later, its following remains strong.
