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 F-150 Lightning outdoes its gasoline counterpart in many respects—and charts new territory as a power broker.

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

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.
