The Lucid Air electric luxury sedan was impressive when it launched 18 months ago, and the new Air Pure version for 2023 is a further variation on the same theme. The Pure is the least expensive Lucid today, at a base price of $89,050, including delivery. All other Air versions start north of six figures, […]

For nearly a quarter century, the Lexus RX has enjoyed enviable success prioritizing passenger comfort over behind-the-wheel engagement. Lexus, though, wants to expand the fifth-generation model’s skill set in a dynamic direction with the 2023 RX500h F Sport Performance. The RX is the second vehicle in the brand’s lineup to bear this recently introduced sub-F

You’d think that Toyota would have the sport-utility formula long figured out given its numerous popular models. But there’s been a gaping hole in Toyota’s SUV lineup for some time, with the step up from the Highlander crossover to the body-on-frame Sequoia being particularly large. play iconThe triangle icon that indicates to play Though it’s

From the June 2023 issue of Car and Driver. When Honda birthed the TrailSport moniker on the previous-generation Pilot and Passport, it was an inauspicious moment. With the trim offering almost no functional upgrades, the automaker appeared to be cynically chasing the emerging popularity of rugged model-line extensions.

From the May 1998 issue of Car and Driver. “An Amigo? That’s a high-school kid’s car,” said senior editor Smith before he climbed into our Copper Orange Mica test car, a 205-hp V-6-pow­ered, five-speed, four-wheel-drive, two­-door hot-rod trucklet priced at $19,795. The grin that stretched across his face after a test drive suggested that the

Evolution works at a faster pace in the EV market.

Average new-car transaction prices are still sky-high, but there are several small entry-level crossovers that seek to maximize bang for your buck. The Kia Seltos has shined in this spot, with sales up 30 percent year over year and a buying cohort that’s among the youngest in the segment. Appealing to the youths isn’t easy,

From the September 1990 issue of Car and Driver. You’ve got two ways to pound the pave­ment: row the twin-turbo 300ZX’s stan­dard five-speed gearbox for all you’re worth, or make little more than polite waves of the shifter atop Nissan’s new four-speed automatic. The automatic transmission takes the edge off the powertrain’s visceral feel but

Now that battery-electrics appear firmly plugged into the transportation grid, hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) benefit from the shortest odds for wide adoption they’ve ever known. That’s still no guarantee, however. General Motors built the hydrogen-fuel-cell Electrovan in 1966, yet at no time in the last 57 years has the most common element in the

05/10/2023 UPDATE: This review has been updated with instrumented test results. We’ve never been all too enthusiastic about all-wheel drive for all-wheel drive’s sake. In our opinion, most vehicles are simply better off just driving two wheels, especially the rears—at least, that was the case before the proliferation of EVs. Since then, we’ve found ourselves
