The second model to come from VinFast should be the VF 9 three-row all-electric SUV. Currently there are not a lot of EVs offered with three-row seating. If VinFast gets to market quickly, this could be a great opportunity for the young auto-manufacturer. 

With the Passat being discontinued, the Arteon is now Volkswagen’s only mid-size sedan. With a rakish coupe-like profile, the Arteon is a more premium offering amongst family sedans. It battles in a rare segment with the likes of the Nissan Altima and Kia Stinger. 

CHECK BEST PRICE

One of the original hot hatches, the Volkswagen GTI continues to be a great performance value. The front-wheel drive five-door is available with a manual or dual-clutch automatic transmission and a 241 hp engine.

The Volkswagen Mircobus is back! Reborn as an all-electric multi-passenger vehicle, the new ID. Buzz cashes in on nostalgic styling while using state of the art technology. Powering the rear-wheels is a single motor making 201 hp. 

The new Volkswagen flagship sedan is the all-electric ID.7. Slightly larger than other mid-size cars, the new ID-7 will launch with a single powertrains. Making 288 hp and over 400 lb-ft. of torque, the ID.7 will be rear-wheel drive and feature a 77 kWh battery.

With the Tiguan growing in size, the Volkswagen Taos fills the void left behind. Playing in the grey area between subcompact and compact SUVs, the Taos offers decent passenger room in a small package. 

The Tiguan is Volkswagen’s entry in the highly competitive compact SUV segment. Previously one of the smaller entries on the market, the second generation Tiguan grew substantially and is one of the only compact SUVs to offer three-rows of seating. 

The Volvo C40 Recharge is one of the more unique vehicles on the market. Not only is it one of the few all-electric small luxury SUVs on sale, but it comes in a swoopy coupe-like body style. A near mechanical twin to the more conventional XC40 Recharge, the C40 is one of the most outlandishly styled vehicles in Volvo’s lineup. 

Volvo’s compact sedan is one of the brand’s longest running nameplates. Two versions of the car are available that go from mild to wild. The entry level model matches the field of compact luxury cars head-on like the BMW 330i, Audi A4, Lexus IS 300, and Cadillac CT4. 

Volvo’s large sedan is different than many offerings from Germany, Japan, and America. For starters, it only comes with a choice of 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. But don’t be fooled by the small displacement. The units are turbocharged and supercharged, and one is paired to a plug-in hybrid drivetrain that makes a total of 455 hp and 523 lb-ft. of torque. 

Volvo is one of the few manufacturers that still offers a compact luxury wagon. In fact, the brand is one of the few left to offer a wagon of any kind. The V60 only comes in one trim now, the top of the line Recharge with a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged 4-cylinder mated to a plug-in hybrid.

The V60 Cross Country follows the a trend amongst luxury manufacturers of lifting up the brand’s wagons in an attempt to bolster sales. The true definition of a crossover, the V60 Cross Country is only available in a single trim. Unlike the potent and expensive V60, the Cross Country uses a more modest powertrain that’s matched by a much more accessible price point. 

Volvo’s large V90 wagon is no more, but the slightly higher sitting, crossover V90 Cross Country lives on. To us, this still resembles a wagon more than a crossover, and it might be the best looking long roof on the market. 

The XC40 is a subcompact SUV that slots below the XC60 in Volvo’s lineup. Two versions of XC40 are available; a 194 hp front-wheel drive model as well as one with 247 hp and all-wheel drive. For those wanting more power and/or fully electric power, there is also the XC40 Recharge

The XC60 is one of Volvo’s most important models. The compact SUV accounts for a lot of the brand’s sales and is offered in three trim levels: the B5, B6, and Recharge. All three models use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with various levels of turbocharging, supercharging, and hybrid boost. 

Volvo’s largest SUV is the three-row XC90. Like most of the Swedish manufacturer’s vehicles, the XC90 is offered with a choice of 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. The entry level makes an adequate 247 hp while the top-of-line Recharge features 455 hp from a plug-in hybrid set-up. 

Four big, body-on-frame SUVs enter the arena. Only one will win. It’s time to see which is the best full-size SUV.

It's part of a commitment to have an electrified version of every Jeep model.

Jeep’s first global EV targets the largest segment, with impressive performance and range.

For the first time in its 60 years of existence, Porsche’s icon is getting in on electrification with a clever hybrid system.

Officially, it’s business as usual for the 2024 Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0. Unofficially, well… you probably shouldn’t wait around if you want one.

Adapt to survive: it applies to sedans now, too.

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe continues to be a vehicular bridge, spanning the gap between the 4 Series two-door coupe and the 3 Series sedan. With a more coupe-like profile that features four doors, the Gran Coupe is for those who don’t want to give up the sleeker styling of a coupe, but still require a more accessible rear seat area.

Wholly new for this year and stuffed full of tech, the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus takes on the likes of the Lexus RX with a whole-hearted comfort angle, providing buyers with a cushy cabin and tech meant to make life easy.

Kia's latest electric car targets the $35,000 (USD) space with funky looks and tons of tech.

Cambridge to Paris: done in a single day and, in the 2024 Nissan Ariya, a single charge.

Of course the Hyundai Palisade impresses in its range-topping Calligraphy trim, but can the mid-level XRT (Urban in Canada) still pull off such a feat?

With the Subaru WRX STI no longer on sale, the regular WRX has taken the reigns as the top performing Subaru. Designed to appeal to a larger crowd of consumers, the WRX is a lot fun to drive, but a bit soft around the edges for those that really like to push their cars.

Hello from the beautiful Canadian Maritimes! This week I'm out East to put the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus through its paces.

A subtle facelift hides big changes inside for the original Genesis SUV. The GV80 goes big on increased tech, adding to what is already the best cabin experience in the class.

A pricey—or very pricey, in Canada—statement vehicle, the 2024 Rivian R1T still impresses as the original EV truck. Full of thoughtful design and packing serious performance, the R1T adds a whole new dimension to America's favorite vehicle shape.

We take a first drive in the Acura ZDX and Subaru Forester. We're invited to a track test of the Subaru BRZ. Then, we discuss if the BMW 4 Series is better than the 3 Series.

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe returns to Canada this year as a limited edition, with just 300 units on offer. Available in the United States for years, this so-called four-door coupe can’t escape the question as to whether it’s unique enough to differentiate from the 3 Series sedan.

The new 2024 Acura ZDX is unlike the ZDX of the past. For starters, the new SUV is fully electric, a first for Acura. Shared with a platform co-developed with GM, the Acura engineers have worked hard to differentiate the ZDX from its distant Cadillac Lyriq cousin.

Folks looking to stretch their dollars will be hard-pressed to beat the Elantra.

Trademark filings found by AutoGuide indicate that Lexus is planning an expansion of its ES sedan lineup. The series of filings show trademarks for a Lexus ES350h, ES350e, and ES500e. Frankly, Lexus’ lineup nomenclature isn’t the easiest to decipher, but we’ve broken it down for you, starting with the ES350h.

Via a LinkedIn post, Jeep CEO Antonio Filosa has confirmed the Gladiator will be getting a hybrid powertrain.

Just like the families that made them popular, “compact” SUVs have grown up.

The trick Taco seats aren't in its SUV sibling—but never say never.

The Honda Civic is getting a big update for the 2025 model year, but that doesn’t mean the 2024 model is no good. In fact, we’d say it’s the best in class, with an asterisk. But more on that asterisk a bit later.

Hyundai continues to pursue the family sedan market with the refreshed 2024 Sonata. Never a brand to shy away from radical redesigns, the new car features a drastically different look up front and in the rear. What hasn’t changed are the engines, with a choice of three four-cylinder engines, one naturally aspirated, one turbocharged, and the other a hybrid.

The Hyundai Elantra sees useful updates for 2024, with a freshened face and even more standard tech. With the compact segment continuing to see challenges from the small SUV crowd, Hyundai's now-smallest sedan majors on what sedans have long done best: offering a ton of space mixed with great fuel economy.

Two years ago, the latest generation Honda Civic earned the AutoGuide 2022 Car of the Year Award. With a fantastic blend of refinement, composure, performance, and comfort, we were quite impressed with Honda's small sedan.

The Volkswagen Jetta is celebrating a big anniversary this year. The sporty version of the Jetta. Called the GLI, has been on our shores for 40 years. That’s a long time for any model to last, especially one that’s a bit niche like the GLI.

Bob Broderdorf, Ram’s Global Operations Officer, made it clear the company is looking to increase its market share in the pick-up segment and that the sport truck line-up is going to play a big part in reaching that goal.

It’s no secret the Urus shares its V8 powertrain with a handful of other Volkswagen Group products like the Audi RSQ8.

It's finally here: the all-electric Geländewagen ushers in a new era for Mercedes' off-road icon.

Say goodbye to the longest-running Subaru nameplate in North America.

Porsche didn’t cut any corners when it came time to design its first EV. The Taycan was fresh, innovative and above all a Porsche. It introduced an 800-volt architecture, super-fast charging speeds, and breathtaking performance. The lessons learned after selling over 150,000 of them in just a few years have in no small part played a major influence on the brand's second EV—the new Macan.

The Tacoma finally brings Toyota's hybrid expertise to the mid-sized truck market. Far from a single-minded fuel-sipper, this electrified Taco comes correct with a muscular powertrain and a whole new Trailhunter trim catering to the overlanding crowd.
