Catalytic converters—and more specifically, the precious metals in them—have become a hot commodity. Blame the supply-chain crisis, and a lack of accountability.

Electric cars rank well below average in reliability, but don't point to their propulsion systems for those troubling tendencies.

Offered with front- or all-wheel drive, the Sportage Hybrid will be a rival to the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Hyundai Tucson hybrids.

Mitsubishi's so-called Super All-Wheel Control is getting more super in the next Outlander Plug-In Hybrid—with the addition of brake-based torque vectoring at the rear wheels.

Toyota is nixing the V-8 and taking its largest pickup hybrid—but still aiming for big payload and towing. How will it fit in next to electric trucks?

Keeping the plug-in hybrid's gasoline engine off and using EV Mode results in more confident traction in low-speed trail driving, we found.

With 32 miles of electric range, the Sorento Plug-In Hybrid could cost less than some non-hybrids if buyers can claim the EV tax credit.

A sportier tune for Nissan's e-Power hybrid tech is likely the way it would bring the system to the U.S., although this hatch is definitely not U.S.-bound.
