No burying the lede here: the 2025 GLC 63 S does not live up to the expectations a 671-horsepower SUV can set. And it has almost nothing to do with that downsized engine.

The Ford Maverick Lobo burst on the scene last year with promises of recapturing the mini-truck era of the ‘80s and ‘90s. For those of us of a certain age, we fondly remember these slammed trucks with massive sound systems, shiny paint, and cool wheels.

The Kia Sportage is the brand’s best-selling vehicle, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. It competes in one of the largest SUV segments, against the likes of the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Subaru Forester.

“You can’t park there,” yells the man from his Tesla Model 3. Except that in 2025 Kia EV6, I actually can.

No automotive brand strives to encapsulate youthful spirit more than Mini. The once British marque has a storied history of funky, fun, engaging cars. They’re the antidote to a world full of bland, colorless crossovers. Riding around in a Mini should be a joyous, cheerful experience; especially one with the extra power and removeable roof of the 2025 Cooper S convertible.

Volvo may no longer be aiming to have the brand’s entire fleet fully electric by 2030, but that doesn’t mean the manufacturer is walking away from EVs as a whole. In fact, quite the opposite. Volvo still estimates 90-100% of the brand’s vehicles will have some electrification by 2030, including several all-electric models. Models like the all-new 2025 Volvo EX90.

We don’t give “predictable” enough credit.

The 750S is the most powerful and lightest series production supercar ever built by McLaren. And for the everyday enthusiast with means, this is as good as it gets.

Lexus doesn’t often miss, but the original RZ arguably came closest this decade.

The 2025 Acura ADX is a Snackmaster.

It had to happen. The 2026 Honda CR-V has gained a TrailSport trim.

In one important way, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe competes with sports cars and luxury cruisers.

Sometimes, the universe has a way of righting a wrong.

If you listen to Ford, it created the full-size SUV with the Expedition almost 30 years ago.

Not everyone has warmed up to the idea of a Lamborghini SUV. How could the Raging Bull make an overweight, high-riding people hauler? Pretty easily actually, and it’s been a resounding success. The Urus is easily the brand’s best-selling vehicle, which should come as no surprise due to its more practical nature.

As so many new (and old) parents tell me, a chunky baby is a healthy baby.

What Is The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness?

The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is a rare bird. It’s a smallish crossover with a fair amount of off-road capability.

The 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe is a little bit more of some things, and a little bit less of others.

The 2025 Porsche Panamera 4S E-Hybrid is a story of opposites.

There are top-trim vehicles that we here at AutoGuide believe are not in fact better than their more affordable siblings. The 2025 BMW Alpina XB7 is not one of them.

The all-electric big boy is one of the most expensive cars we've tested this year... so far.

Toyota's adventure-ready mid-sized truck is one half of a comparison this week.

I’m pretty sure the 2026 Toyota bZ is the only vehicle to ever lose 50-percent of its name, and gain 50-percent more power.

Hyundai just made the game harder for everyone else.

Is this the Goldilocks Tiguan? The smallish SUV that’s just right sized for Volkswagen?

The third generation Volkswagen Tiguan is here and it looks to find balance between the small first generation and supersized second generation. With more rounded styling, the new SUV isn’t a radical departure from the current model.

You know when a mainstream actor takes a hard turn into indie films? That’s the 2025 BMW X3.

“Is this an EV?”

At this moment in time, I can’t think of a quicker car for the task at hand than the 2025 Volkswagen Golf R.

“Even if it’s not broken, we can still make it better.”

Whatever you do, don’t blame yourself.

“Quiet luxury” is not a term I would associate with an 18.5-foot long, gold SUV—but Lincoln insists.

The 2025 Acura RDX is the middle child in Acura’s crossover lineup, slotting above the smaller ADX and below the three-row MDX. Sharing underpinnings with the Honda CR-V and Civic, the RDX is stylish, reasonably well-equipped and seats five. It was lightly refreshed for the 2025 model year with a new grille, updated center console with larger cupholders, and improved compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The VTEC 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 272 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission that carries over from the ‘24 models.

Lucid’s sophomore effort is a big deal in more ways than one.

Five point six seconds. That’s how long it takes the 2025 BMW 330i xDrive to hit 62 mph (100 km/h), officially.

The MINI Convertible family is all-new for a fourth generation in 2025, with three distinct models for North America: Cooper (Cooper C in Canada), Cooper S, and John Cooper Works (JCW). These cars come with fresh styling that’s still recognizably MINI, with bug-eyed LED lights, a big open-mouth front grille, and more body and accent color combinations than you can shake a stick at.

The Lincoln Motor Company has a full lineup of SUVs, including a rarity in the luxury sport utility world, a two-row mid-size. Originally called the MKX, the vehicle has evolved into the Nautilus.

The Ford Bronco Sport is one half of Ford’s two-pronged off-roader initiative—and arguably the more important one.

I’m drifting. In a truck. On tarmac.

Since it rolled onto the scene, the Ford Maverick has essentially been in a class of one.

The 2024 Kia EV6 GT-Line AWD is the penultimate model in the Kia EV6 lineup, slotting below the EV6 GT. The GT-Line generates 320 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque from its dual-motor all-wheel drive system, enabling sprints to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds and a range of up to 252 miles when fully charged.

The 2025 Land Rover Defender offers the most expansive lineup of any of the traditional off-roaders. You can get a basic two-door model that’s somewhat close to the notion of a traditional Defender for just over $60,000. Or spend nearly $100 grand more and drive off with the luxurious V8-powered OCTA edition. There’s also a cavernous three-row model and a middle-child two-row variant. Got all that?

To illustrate just how much Honda has rethought the Passport for 2026: half of the first drive event is now off-road.

Can less actually be better? 

As soon as the Toyota GR Corolla came out, we fell in love with it. It was raw, mechanical, and barrel full of fun. The adjustable all-wheel drive system, six-speed manual transmission, double the dose of limited-slip differentials, and quick-connected steering made us claim the new GR Corolla as a modern, more sophisticated Subaru WRX STI.

Even for Quebec, this is a lot of snow.

In its first three years on the market, the Ioniq 5 collected awards like Meryl Streep and saw its sales stadily increase. The goal for the updated 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 was—don’t mess it up.

I was prepared for this to be the best all-rounder sedan in the BMW lineup.

There’s a product from Ram for every type of heavy-duty truck buyer for 2025.

There aren’t a whole lot of minivans left on the market: just four traditional ones, really.

The Mini Countryman Electric and Volvo EX30 are two of the latest small European crossovers offering fully electric powertrains, distinct styling, and premium features. Both models aim to balance city-friendly dimensions with enough practicality for everyday use, but they take different approaches to design, performance, and technology.

For the second consecutive year, Acura is adding an all-new SUV to its lineup. Last year, it was the ZDX EV, and now the range of Acura utilities will grow to four with the addition of the compact ADX. Slotting into the lineup below the RDX, the ADX will serve as an entry point into the Acura family.

The Kia Carnival Hybrid is finally here, filling a major gap in Kia’s lineup by offering a more fuel-efficient alternative to its V6-powered minivan. With a turbocharged hybrid powertrain, updated tech, and its signature SUV-inspired styling, the refreshed Carnival aims to be a more compelling option for families who want space and versatility without the high fuel costs.

The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser First Edition is a limited-run (5,000 examples in North America) model that celebrates the return of the Land Cruiser name. It has an upgraded interior, throwback round headlights, and extra off-roading gear like a roof rack and rock rails. It also gets tow-tone paint, leather-trimmed seats, and First Edition badges. My tester arrived in a subtle Trail Dust (body) and Grayscape (roof) color scheme with 18-inch black alloy wheels. Power comes from Toyota’s 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder i-Force Max hybrid system with 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque with an eight-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive. It stickered for $76,825.

It looks like Honda has finally done it—at least on paper.

Volkswagen has addressed one of the biggest complaints about the VW Taos for 2025: replacing its seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with a traditional eight-speed automatic. That’s just the start of a series of updates designed to improve the subcompact SUV’s appeal.

The Legacy has been a stalwart of Subaru’s lineup for more than 35 years. It’s ending its run as a much-loved yet slow-selling sedan as Subaru makes way for more Forester production at its Indiana factory this year. As the clock runs out, we’re taking a look back at the Legacy’s past, present, and future.

Consolidation. It’s hitting everyone, and Mercedes isn’t immune.

For years, Honda has been searching for the secret sauce that made the Toyota Prius the king of hybrids. From the early Civic Hybrid to multiple attempts with the Insight and the larger Clarity, none of these challengers managed to knock the Prius off its throne.

Many small changes add up to make a big difference.
