First Drive Reviews

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The 2020 Tesla Model Y is the first in a series of affordable electric crossovers, and it has set the bar for the competition.

The 2021 RAV4 Prime offers 42 miles of all-electric driving, followed by 38-mpg hybrid operation, plus punchy performance.
