2015 Nissan Murano Video Road Test

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 09:47 AM PST

The Nissan Murano was one of the first mid-size crossovers to hit the streets, back in 2003. It's been a sales star--but so have the Ford Edge, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Chevy Equinox. Can this new 2015 Nissan Murano make you forget all about those other excellent utes? The first thing you’re going to notice about the new Murano is its...

Cadillac Escalade

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 08:49 AM PST

The Cadillac Escalade is one of the largest SUVs on the market, available in either standard or long-wheelbase editions--just like its mechanical cousins, the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL and the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban. It is the most luxurious SUV that GM and even Cadillac offers. More refined now than in past generations, the Escalade is a rival for...

Mitsubishi i-MiEV

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 08:45 AM PST

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is a subcompact hatchback that's powered by electricity alone. It can travel up to 62 miles on one charge, and it's even smaller than a MINI Cooper. In short, it has a lot of inherent design choices that limit its appeal. MORE: Read our 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV review The Mitsubishi i competes with the handful of...

Mitsubishi Mirage

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 08:44 AM PST

The Mitsubishi Mirage is one of the smallest vehicles for sale in the U.S. market, and it's also one of the least expensive new vehicles you can buy. The Mirage is the first new model for the product-starved brand in a long while, and also its most fuel efficient, with combined EPA ratings of up to 40 mpg. That gives it the best fuel economy of...

Honda Crosstour

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 08:39 AM PST

The Honda Crosstour is somewhat of an oddball in the Honda lineup. Originally called Accord Crosstour, it continues to be based on the last-generation of Honda's mid-size sedan but has lost the Accord appellation to further separate it from today's updated model. The Crosstour is essentially a mid-size hatchback with a sloped tail that offers...

Kia Rio

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 08:27 AM PST

The Kia Rio is a subcompact model offered as both a five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan. It's Kia's least expensive and smallest model for the U.S. market. Competitors include the Ford Fiesta, Honda Fit, and Toyota Yaris, among others. The current-generation Rio, which was launched in 2012, significantly boosted the model's refinement...

Tesla Model S

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 08:09 AM PST

As the second car sold by Silicon Valley startup Tesla Motors [NSDQ:TSLA], the Model S is the rarest of rarities: a competitive luxury sport sedan engineered, designed, tested, and built by a carmaker that's only been in business 10 years. The Model S remains the longest-range regular-production battery-electric car in the world, and that holds...

Ford Edge

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 08:04 AM PST

The Ford Edge is a five-passenger crossover in the mid-size segment. It's slotted below the Flex and Explorer utes, and above the Escape in Ford's family-utility-vehicle lineup. The Edge competes with a wide variety of vehicles, such as the Toyota Venza, the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain twins, and the Nissan Murano. It is directly related to the...

2015 Jeep Renegade, Camry Vs. Accord, Ferrari 488 GTB: What’s New @ The Car Connection

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:30 AM PST

From The Car Connection: 2015 Jeep Renegade Review The 2015 Jeep Renegade is by far the smallest Jeep sold in decades—16 inches shorter than the Cherokee—although it's bigger and a whole lot heavier than the original Willys Jeep that emerged from World War II. The new Renegade is a subcompact SUV that's designed as much for global...

Acura TLX

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:22 AM PST

The Acura TLX is a new offering from Honda's luxury arm as of the 2015 model year. A replacement for the TL and TSX mid-size sedans, the TLX puts Acura's four-door efforts on a more solid footing, fitting in well with a lineup that includes the MDX and RDX crossovers, the ILX compact sedan, the larger RLX, and the returning NSX sports car. (It...

Rumor: Volvo Developing A New Service To Eliminate Stopping At Gas Stations

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:16 AM PST

Last year, Volvo unveiled a service called "Roam Delivery", which was meant to solve a problem that many of us have -- namely, the problem of receiving large packages when we're at work or on the go. With Roam Delivery, mail carriers can use a one-time code to drop those packages in a Volvo's trunk instead of delivering them to our offices or...

Porsche Panamera

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:14 AM PST

The Porsche Panamera is one of the vehicles from the "other" side of the German automaker's showrooms. It's no 911, Cayman, or Boxster--but alongside the Cayenne and Macan SUVs, the Panamera hatchback sedan makes a compelling argument that Porsche performance can take on all kinds of forms. A high-performance luxury five-door, the Panamera joins...

Porsche Cayman

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:12 AM PST

The Porsche Cayman is a beautifully styled, sharp-handling sports car. The two-door sports car has a luxurious interior and lots of in-car technology, but it puts a clear emphasis on the driving experience. The Cayman is a rival for the Alfa Romeo 4C, Chevrolet Corvette, Infiniti Q60, and the Nissan 370Z. MORE: Read our 2014 Porsche Cayman...

Lincoln MKC

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:05 AM PST

The Lincoln MKC is a compact five-seat crossover vehicle that has some underpinnings in common with the Ford Escape. To distinguish it from the less expensive Ford, the new Lincoln gets its own styling, an interior complete with a pushbutton transmission, and one turbocharged engine not offered in the Escape. With the MKC, Lincoln has its first...

Buick Verano

Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:01 AM PST

The Buick Verano is a small four-door sedan that shares its architecture and some running gear with the Chevy Cruze. It's a more finely finished rendition, though, with more premium features and its own four-cylinder engines--with the requisite higher sticker price. The Verano was introduced for the 2012 model year. Few major changes have been...
