The Ford Escape is one of the older options in the compact SUV segment, but it does offer a lot of choice. There are two turbocharged engine options, as well as a traditional hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. The latter only comes with front-wheel drive, while the rest can be paired with all-wheel drive.

A big family SUV that can handle off-roading may seem like an odd combination, but it works.

The blocky all-terrain tires, front skid plate, exposed tow hooks, and AT4 badges give it a tougher look. But it still seems a bit ordinary and pedestrian compared to the Explorer Tremor.

For years, the idea of a four-door Mustang has floated around as little more than an internet rumor. Now, comments from a senior Ford executive suggest there may be more substance behind the speculation than previously thought.

What a wild ride 2026 is for automotive sales.

In the muscle car world, it's Mustang vs. Camaro. In the land of Italian exotics, you get Ferrari vs. Lamborghini. When it comes to street-going off-roaders, there's no rivalry more iconic than Jeep Wrangler vs Ford Bronco. The latter has been chasing the former ever since it returned for the 2021 model year, with yearly Bronco sales always falling short of its foe's finally tally. This year, things are looking up for the Blue Oval brand, though it still has its work cut out for it.
