The next-generation Nissan Murano is expected to be revealed later this year as a 2025 model. The mid-size SUV will feature a sleeker, more modern exterior design inspired by the Nissan Ariya. It’s rumored to ditch the V6 engine for a turbocharged four-cylinder and a possible hybrid option. We...

2025 Nissan Murano: Everything We Know

The SUV segment has been at the top of its game lately, with automakers fighting to deliver the best blend of value, utility, and comfort in a single package. In our eyes, automakers from Japan and Korea are easily the leaders in this regard, with just about every SUV segment being led by an automaker from the region.

While the default compact car in the USA seems to be either the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or Hyundai Elantra, the Mazda 3 is for the more refined palette. While costing around the same, the Mazda 3 Hatchback exudes a more premium look and feel, backed up by Mazda's now typical zest when it comes to driving dynamics. It comes as either a sedan, which we review separately, or in the cheekier and prettier-to-look-at hatchback form.

Upon first mention, we assumed the 2025 Mazda CX-70 would serve as a two-row midsize utility slotting between the compact CX-50 and three-row midsize CX-90. But as it turns out, we were only half right. While the CX-70 is indeed a midsize, two-row five-seater, it’s essentially the same size as...

Sedans are one of the best examples of Darwinism in the automobile business. The companies that still make them — mainly Toyota, Honda, Hyundai — do a fine job with them. This notion came into sharp focus for me during a recent test drive of the 2025 Toyota Camry. Once derided as the color beige manifested onto four wheels, the latest Camry has sleek, edgy styling, a nicely appointed interior and hybrid power. I spent a week with an XSE model, and I have five thoughts.

With its affordable price tag, feature-packed offerings, and spacious interior, the 2025 Toyota Camry is set to dominate as family favorite. The new 2025 Camry ditches gas-only models for a completely hybrid lineup, offering two powertrains with front or all-wheel drive options. From comfort packages to a range of accessories,...

Honda is one of the most reliable car brands in the world, so if you're looking for a new SUV to drive, it is probably one of the brands you're looking at alongside the likes of Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru, and Toyota. The car maker offers five SUV models, including one hybrid and one EV as of summer 2024.

The Kia Soul launched in the middle of the Box Car Era — six years after the Honda Element hit the market, five years after the Scion xB, a year before Nissan began importing the Cube — and has outlasted all of them. The Element died in 2011, achieving cult status not long after; the Scion xB scooted off in 2015; the Nissan Cube collapsed in 2014. Although sales are down from the six-figure sales of 2011 to 2018 in the U.S., dealers have found new homes for around 60,000 units in each of the past two years, so the Soul isn't out of the game yet, but Kia seems to have left the model line on cruise control. Other than a refresh for the 2023 model year, we cover the subcompact once every 12 months when the new model year arrives. So here we are again with a near repeat of last year's news ("2024 Kia Soul MSRP up by $100, EX trim adds Designer Package").

Losing the stick in the base S trim won't make us weep, we suspect no one was buying it, anyway. We're just glad the GLI gets to keep it. The other big news is that the price tag for a base S is now $21,995 before destination and delivery fees. That's cheaper than an automatic S is now, and cheaper than a stick-shift 2024 S after D and D.

The Toyota GR Corolla is one of the best hot hatchbacks on the market. It has a turbocharged three-cylinder engine with 300 horsepower, all-wheel drive, and a snappy six-speed manual transmission. But it might not be manual-only for much longer. Leaked documents show what appears to be an eight-speed automatic...

The 2024 Hyundai Elantra N Line is a sporty-looking trim of the popular Elantra five-passenger sedan. This is a car roughly the same size as a Civic or Tesla Model 3. Hyundai offers the best ownership package of warranty and included maintenance in this segment, and has had good reliability ratings over the past decade. The Elantra is an IIHS Top Safety Pick for 2024, and comes with many active safety systems standard.

The Volkswagen Atlas is popular in North America, with 19,293 examples sold in Q2 2024 alone. That excludes the Atlas Cross, of which VW shifted 9,769 units. Add them together, and the lineup is the automaker's most popular model by far. However, Volkswagen is hard at work keeping the Atlas fresh, with a new model right around the corner.

When BMW launched the 5 Series G60 last year, the luxury sedan was initially offered solely with combustion engines and the electric i5. Then the plug-in hybrids came along near the end of 2023, giving buyers the choice between four and six cylinders. While the 530e is offered with or without an all-wheel-drive setup, the more potent 550e is an xDrive-only affair.

The Dodge Durango has scored reasonably well in predicted reliability ratings in recent years, but the Indiana State Police aren’t having much luck with their fleet of the SUVs. The law enforcement organization said it had experienced an almost 20 percent failure rate with its 219 Durangos, noting that the problems could cost taxpayers almost $4 million and cause weeks of downtime for some vehicles.

Electrification has finally trickled down to Mercedes-Benz’s smallest SUVs in the form of RSG Boost 48-volt mild hybrid technology. Rejoice for some improved performance, one of the ways we thought the pre-refresh GLB250 4Matic let us down. Mercedes addresses another of our concerns with an MBUX infotainment update on larger standard screens, too. The GLB also picks up standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlights, and a Nappa-leather-trimmed steering wheel for 2024.
