The breadth, depth, and sheer excellence from top to bottom of the Civic lineup is unmatched.

The new electric mid-size EV has impressive stats but fails to create a spark.

The S-branded variant of Audi's new EV four-door is most notable for its horsepower increase versus the A6 e-tron.

No one has to guess what's under the hood of Ferrari's latest GT.

The 2025 Vanquish boasts a new platform, a new V-12 engine, and a new body, but some old-school ideas.

The M-ified X1 is one tightly wound compact SUV.

The RX was the original Lexus SUV and dates all the way back to the 1990s. As the years went on, Lexus expanded its SUV lineup, and of the multiple SUVs the brand currently offers, the model that sits closest to the RX is the NX. Buyers shopping mid-size luxury SUVs might wonder: What’s the difference between these two siblings?The major differentiators are size and price, as the RX sits one rung up the ladder from the NX. Below them, there’s the subcompact UX, which serves as the entry model fo…

The Volkswagen Touareg launched in 2002, and a second generation appeared for 2011, before taking its exit after the 2017 model year. While VW replaced the Touareg in the U.S. with the larger Atlas, elsewhere the model went on to a third generation, which has been out since 2018. We recently got a chance to see what’s become of VW’s ambitious SUV.The third-gen Touareg is longer, lower, and wider than its predecessor, but it is still nowhere near as large as the bus-like, three-row Atlas, which i…

“We’re going to pump—[clap!]—you up!” One imagines Hans, Franz, and all their pals at AMG reacting thusly to the new Mercedes-Benz CLE coupe, which debuted last summer in four-cylinder CLE300 and six-cylinder CLE450 form. After a muscle-building regimen at AMG HQ in Affalterbach, the result is the Mercedes-AMG CLE53. The vertical-slat grille may be the first-noticed telltale that this is the AMG version, but the more transformative elements are the swollen front and rear fenders that accommodate…

Pilot and Passport: These two Hondas have similar names, are close in size, and overlap in price. Buyers shopping mid-size SUVs might wonder: What’s the difference?The key difference is that the Pilot comes standard with a third-row seat, allowing it to accommodate seven or eight passengers, while the Passport is strictly a two-row offering with seating for five. But there are other differences as well. The Pilot was comprehensively redesigned for 2023, and there are no significant changes only…

From the May/June issue of Car and Driver.To all our beloved readers who’ve written to kvetch that we don’t cover affordable cars or vehicles that real people buy, this one’s for you.It doesn’t get any more mainstream than this group right here. The word “automobile” once conjured images of bestselling mid-size sedans such as the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord, and the Ford Taurus, but now this is what we see on the road. The Toyota RAV4 overtook the Camry as the bestselling Toyota in 2017, one…

The sun is setting on convertibles, which is poignant because sunset is the best time to experience one. At Mercedes-Benz, recent years have seen the SLK roadster and the big S-class cabrio dip below the horizon. Now, the C-class convertible and the venerable E-class cabrio are saying their goodbyes, with both being replaced by a single model, the new CLE-class. Fret not, however, because the CLE cabriolet is a creamy confection, one that’s better looking than either of its two antecedents. The…

For all the success the Prius has enjoyed, Toyota has struggled to create a winning small hybrid for Lexus. Perhaps you remember the HS250h sedan, or the CT200h hatchback? If not, you’re not alone. Since 2019, however, the UX has been the Lexus for buyers with Prius sensibilities and caviar tastes. Last year the UX went exclusively hybrid, dropping the nonhybrid UX200, and a front-wheel-drive UX250h model joined the previously available all-wheel-drive version.In contrast to the brand’s previous…
