First Drive Reviews

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 dual-motor Polestar 2 still hustles from 0-60 mph in a brisk 4.45 seconds, but now it has up to 249 miles of EPA-rated range. And it costs less than last year’s model.

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 38-mpg Tucson Hybrid is Hyundai's first hybrid SUV, facing off with the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Honda CR-V Hybrid, and Ford Escape Hybrid.

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 Mach-E is the first non-Tesla to be able to hit 300 miles of range in some forms; we take a first drive in a Premium 4X version rated at 270 miles.

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.

The Venza earns 40 mpg city, 37 highway, and occupies a midpoint between Toyota best-sellers such as the RAV4 Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, and Avalon Hybrid.
