Having been launched back in 2015, the Audi A4 was in dire need of a replacement. The all-new model is finally out, and it goes by another name. The A5 Sedan and A5 Avant replace the old A4-badged models and come along with spicy S5 performance versions. However, we should clarify the A5/S5 Sedan is not a sedan in the truest sense of the word. It has a more practical tailgate instead of the traditional trunk lid. In other words, it’s effectively a replacement for the old A5 Sportback.

Mazda has rolled out the 2025 CX-50, and this time they're shaking things up with a hybrid powertrain–they've borrowed the three-motor "eAWD" system from the Toyota RAV4, under Mazda and Toyota's technical alliance.

The older I get, the fewer screens I want to have shoved in my face. It's a problem for someone who spends many hours a day in front of a computer. As much as I love cars, the obsession some automakers have with screens is diminishing the excitement generated by a new model's launch. When the A5 debuted earlier this month, it had to have an extra display just for the passenger for some reason.

It's not a big surprise that the manual-transmission SUV is next up on the chopping block for vehicles sending the manual the way of the dodo. The appeal of the manual gearbox largely has to do with driver engagement. The appeal of the sports utility vehicle is mostly down to convenience in the modern automotive landscape. These two qualities are, if not incompatible, at least difficult to counterbalance. Then you add cost concerns into the mix, and it's easy to see why SUV makers would rather avoid spending millions developing a new stick shift and passing the expenses on to the buyer in a segment that frequently competes on price alone.

It's been over a decade since the last of the Kappa sports cars from General Motors rolled off the assembly line. In the United States, the platform-sharing lineup consisted of the Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice, but abroad, the Kappa was known as both the Daewoo G2X in Korea and the Opel GT in Europe. Whatever version you got, it shared a lot of parts with many other cars. Radios, steering wheels, HVAC controls, and more.

(iSeeCars) – Small SUVs and crossovers have replaced midsize sedans as the best-selling cars in the U.S. because they offer a combination of roomy interior space, practical cargo space, car-like maneuverability, and some of the highest EPA-rated fuel economy numbers available in a traditional front-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive SUV. And while higher gas prices have forced buyers to reconsider fuel economy when shopping for a new car, buyers should also research advanced safety features, like adaptive cruise control, and convenience factors like the infotainment system and automatic parking, before committing to a purchase.

The 2025 Jeep Compass should wrap up the current generation — but should you buy in?. With the small Renegade’s departure (at least for now), the Compass represents Jeep’s entry-level offering for the North American market. It’s not changing much for 2025, as the brand’s small SUV is still fairly fresh from its mid-cycle facelift and powertrain swap to a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Entry-level pricing remains the same, while the rest of the range gets a modest price bump between $100 and $270, depending on the trim.
