Those who are dismissive of Lexus will generally describe the brand as merely selling expensive Toyotas. That's unfair, in our opinion, as Lexus does some wonderful things with Toyota's platforms, creating an entirely new dynamic. That being said, the Lexus ES lineup isn't exactly mind-blowing. What it is is a sedan with a soft, isolated ride boasting a comfortable premium interior wrapped up in Lexus style. The total package is a car that provides serious value for money if you're not looking for something that will provide some semblance of fun when driving. If that's what you want from sedan, you best look elsewhere. However, if understated elegance, fuss-free driving, and the benefits of a hybrid powertrain are on your priority list, read on.

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.

The world is moving towards electrification and a side effect of this is that traditional gas-powered engines are downsizing. More and more four-cylinder engines are popping up, with forced induction making them just as powerful as the V-shaped engines that they’re replacing. This has, of course, caused quite a stir.

Lexus made the LBX, a small crossover sold in global markets, a lot more interesting when it powered it by the Toyota GR Corolla's 1.6-liter turbo-three for the 2024 Tokyo auto show. The concept has morphed into a regular-production model called LBX Morizo RR in Japan. Hinted at by executives...

Nissan has its fair share of great SUV models, but still lags behind the competition. The Nissan Murano is one of the marque's sportiest SUV offerings, and for 2025, a big redesign is on the way. The Murano was in a class of its own when it came out back in 2003, but nowadays we have models like the Mazda CX-70 and Toyota Crown Signia that pack potent powertrains, and come from manufacturers with a more consistent reliability record. Here's how the 2025 Nissan Murano can make a dent in Toyota and Mazda sales.

The small, affordable sedan isn’t dead yet. How do we know? The Nissan Sentra exists. Yes, the idea of affordable is debatable, but in a day and age in which the average new car price in America is hovering around $50,000, the $21,180 starting price of the Sentra doesn’t seem too bad in comparison.
