First Drive Reviews

More battery for the XC60 Recharge T8 gives it an estimated 32 electric miles, quicker acceleration, and the only one-pedal driving mode in a PHEV.

The 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge is a rolling fashion statement; but at 225 estimated EPA miles, it delivers more range than its boxier sibling.

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT offers a significant boost in power and acceleration over the standard Mach-E, but does so without sacrificing any of the Mach-E's 270 miles of estimated range.

The 2022 Lucid Air is an EV tech and range leader, but it’s also graceful and fun.

While we didn’t test the R1T’s 314-mile range, its combination of on-road and off-road performance plus off-the-grid sensibilities is unprecedented.

The 2022 Polestar 2 offers 265 miles of range but doesn’t doesn’t quite measure up to the Tesla Model 3 in interior space or fast-charging.

The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid is rated at 32 mpg combined and is a pleasant-driving alternative sized between the Toyota RAV4 and Highlander Hybrids.

The 2022 Audi E-Tron GT and RS E-Tron GT zig where the Porsche Taycan zags, offering more of a grand touring experience rather than a sporty one.

Acceleration and charging pull up short, but Mercedes’ EQS oozes with sophisticated interfaces and finishes.

The 2021 BMW 330e appears to connect BMW sport-sedan heritage to an electric future, although it doesn't quite feel that way from the driver's seat.

The 2021 Karma GS-6 is well-built and fun to drive, but the range limitations of series-hybrids and a small-ish battery pack end the fun prematurely.

The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is an improvement over the Bolt EV, with more passenger room and technology while only taking a minor hit in range.

An hour with the 2021 VW ID.4 electric SUV assures us that this mass-market EV carries on the fun-to-drive qualities of the e-Golf—though its interface is still being sorted out.

A Sorento Plug-In Hybrid is on the way, with all-wheel drive and a 30-mile plug-in range. Will it feel more like the range-topper we were expecting?

The 2021 Mirai moves to a rear-wheel drive platform borrowed from Lexus and gets improvements to the fuel cell stack, the interior, and the tech throughout.

The 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge is Volvo's first electric car, and it lays out a straightforward driving experience for the brand's EV products.

At up to 54 mpg, the Elantra Hybrid offers a perkier, more conventional driving experience than the eco-focused Ioniq hybrid—and a strong value vs. rivals.

Familiarity and ubiquity are what have made the Accord such a longtime sales success, but technology makes the Accord Hybrid anything but boring.

Toyota hybrid gas mileage and an interior redesign help remake the minivan without corrupting it—although a Sienna Prime sure would be nice.

The Polestar 2 rivals Tesla's driving experience and interface but comes up short in packaging and interior space.
