The situation of the Toyota RAV4 on the market is really strange. The current generation, the fifth, has been on sale since 2019 without having undergone a mid-cycle restyling and, moreover, it is overshadowing the Corolla Cross because there is barely €1,500 difference between the two. This means that...

We don't get the Lexus LBX here in the United States, nor the Toyota Yaris Cross upon which it's based. That's not exactly a tragedy, since it's just the umpteenth crossover that would compete in an already crowded segment. However, the smallest vehicle with the spindle grille just got a whole lot more interesting. Enter the LBX Morizo RR, complete with the GR Corolla's engine.

The time of only budget-minded vehicles coming with four cylinders is over. Today, even luxury vehicles. SUVs come with small, four-cylinder engines. At one time, these engines were only good for small vehicles that did nothing more than driving around town in the past. Today, that’s certainly not the case and performance from four-cylinder engines has increased dramatically in recent times.

The manual gearbox isn't the most popular transmission in the United States. Only a select few prefer a sick shift, with mainstream consumer interest having largely shifted to automatic and CVT units. On top of the convenience of the automatic or CVT, manuals aren't a cheaper option anymore. Back in the day, the manual transmission was standard kit on many cars, with the automatic options having an up-charge, but that's no longer the case. And since automatics are generally more frugal, more buyers are opting for those - and thus, also more manufacturers.

If you’re looking for a “cheap” 2025 Mazda CX-5, a familiar trim returns. New car shopping has been a fairly expensive prospect these days, especially if you’re shopping in hotly competitive segments like compact crossovers. Automakers have been removing more affordable base trims from their lineups, effectively hiking the entry-level price tag like the Mazda CX-5 did for the 2024 model year. Yet here we are several months later, and the company is doing an about-face: Reintroducing its S trim (with no special affixes like ‘Select’ or ‘Premium Plus’) for 2025.

There is a misconception that the Tasman will be Kia's first truck, when in fact, the lesser-known Bongo has been around since 1980. Despite being launched back in 2005, the fourth-generation model is sticking around. Not only that but the somewhat obscure pickup is even getting a few updates at home in South Korea. The design may be stuck in the past but this is a 2025 vehicle.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

The Lucid Air is only a couple of years old, but the automaker is eager to give it a minor update.

Toyota has come out with an all-new 2024 Land Cruiser. This latest model of this long-running SUV is smaller and less expensive than before and comes with a hybrid powertrain that gets better fuel economy than the previous V8. Yet, true to tradition, the Land Cruiser comes standard with four-wheel drive and ample ground clearance for help over rugged terrain. It should be a no-brainer for anyone shopping for an outdoorsy SUV. There’s just one thing: You might want to get a 2024 Lexus GX instead.
