First Drive Reviews

We spent a week with the 2022 Lucid Air Grand Touring to check in with its updated interface, and it makes the whole car more appealing.

With a larger battery pack and improved efficiency, the 2024 Q8 E-Tron SUV and Sportback will charge faster and likely hit an EPA 300-mile rating in some versions.

A wedgelike profile, peppier powertrain, and reconfigured cabin make the Prius more appealing, without losing any of its high-mileage bragging rights.

Honda gives the CR-V Hybrid’s electric side a boost but still doesn’t let the gas engine play second fiddle.

The ID.4 Standard delivers a better driving experience than other sub-$40,000 EVs, with an EPA range rating of 209 miles.

A low-drag body and high-speed charging vault Hyundai’s new electric Ioniq 6 into the electric-car lead.

The EQS SUV is a promising reboot of a luxurious, off-road-capable SUV for the electric age.

The RX 450h+ will cost more and weigh more than hybrid versions of the popular Lexus crossover—without remarkable performance or electric range.

The 2024 VW ID.Buzz is on the way, and it’s a modern-day electric Microbus in more than design inspiration.

All the other electric SUVs might seem a little bland after driving the BMW iX, which can feel equal parts charming and off-putting. Just make sure you’re at peace with the styling.

The EQXX shows that efficiency is an all-hands approach, and that making compromises is a slippery slope.

We test drive Cadillac’s flagship SUV EV to see if the Blackwing brand can pivot to battery power without a misstep.

This plug-in hybrid Lincoln outperformed its EPA numbers of 33 mpg and 28 electric miles, but the experience isn’t so electric.

The plug-in hybrid crossover might not add up for four-season commuters—but it also lacks the design- and tech-savvy of Ford's other recent plug-in models.

The 2023 Genesis GV60 offers up a luxurious, tech-savvy EV experience, but a big price tag and wobbly suspension give us pause.

The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e will compete with the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Genesis GV60, Kia EV6, and Hyundai Ioniq 5.

The first Sportage hybrid proves to be the best Sportage, and is a better value than compact crossover rivals.

Vinfast has set an ultra-aggressive timeline for its 2023 VF 8 electric SUV, and a quick drive in a prototype underscores there’s a lot of work that needs to be done in a short period of time.

The Grand Cherokee 4xe has nearly the same specs as the Wrangler 4xe—although it’s not perfect for towing or off-roading.

The first Toyota EV since the “powered by Tesla” RAV4 EV plays well to Toyota strengths, with top efficiency and a thoughtful feature set.
