All roads may lead to Rome, but that doesn’t mean each route is the same. Take, for example, the 2023 Jeep Compass and the 2024 Chevrolet Trax. These two subcompact SUVs are sized within a few of inches of one another, yet nearly every other aspect for comparison—from powertrain to price—highlights how wildly divergent the […]

UPDATE 10/5/23: This review has been updated with test results for EQS450 4Matic SUV and EQS580 4Matic SUV two-row models. The EQS sedan has been a highly significant vehicle for Mercedes-Benz, headlining the company’s burgeoning EQ electric subbrand while pushing the limits of automotive technology, aerodynamics, and luxury. Yet as monumental as that car is,

From the January 1996 issue of Car and Driver. After years of denial, the manage­ment at Cadillac has finally real­ized that baby boomers will not automatically mutate into Sedan De Ville buyers should they live long enough to become prosperous and middle-aged. Many of us born after WWII reached maturity at a time when size

It’d be a mistake to write off the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison as a regular ZR2 dressed up with special AEV wheels, fortified front and rear AEV bumpers, a plethora of boron-steel skidplates, and some AEV badges. But we wouldn’t fault you if you did. That was, after all, the formula for the first-generation

Lifted heavy-duty pickups are nothing new, and in most parts of the country, so-called brodozers are a common sight. Ford’s Super Duty Tremor and the Ram 2500 Power Wagon represent factory entries into this arena, but the new 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD ZR2 is arguably the best turnkey example of the breed due in large

Mountain goats look unbalanced—they have goofy faces accented by a tuft of chin hair, and their heads look far too small for their bodies. Yet these large, oddly proportioned beasts possess extreme rock-climbing capability, able to navigate sheer cliff faces and perch on the narrowest of ledges. In the automotive kingdom, the new 2024 Subaru

BMW and Mercedes-Benz are taking two wildly different approaches to the early stages of electrification. Mercedes chose to develop a parallel line of distinct EV models, resulting in the carton of battery-electric eggs known as EQ. BMW is taking the opposite tack, slotting its EVs into the same bodies as its bread-and-butter gas offerings. Munich

From the February 1995 issue of Car and Driver. First, you should know that the road to Moose Factory, Ontario, is not a road. This is a fact of history and geography. And there were no roads to its neighboring village Moosonee, either, when the Hudson’s Bay Company settled there in 1673. Second, there exists

Somewhere outside Fresno, a goober in a clapped-out Silverado decided he wanted to see what the Mercedes-Benz G550 could do. Lined up at a red light, a ribbon of dead-straight highway across the intersection, he finessed brake and accelerator to engage in a no-doubt familiar form of peacocking: the brake stand. The light turned green,

From the November 2023 issue of Car and Driver. If you have a quarter-mil burning a hole in your Balmains, your automotive choices have never been wider. From fortress-like super-SUVs to road-scraping supercars, there are more $200K-plus vehicles available now than at any time in history. Astonishingly, there are now twice as many Ferrari models
