Considering the level of popularity crossovers have reached in recent years, the rather limited number of hybrid models on the market remains something of a surprise. Looking at the compact category, there are only two conventional versions to choose from. Yet the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid manages to stand out for its effective blend of efficienc

Before we begin, no, you can’t walk into your local BMW dealership and pick up a brand-new 2001 M5. More’s the pity . Known as the E39 to BMW fans, the 1998–2003 generation of the M5 is generally considered to be the best one produced by the company, and thus the best midsize sport sedan ever made (there are all sorts of fun enthusiast arguments

We know you love epic comparisons, and this one is a showdown for the ages: the Bean versus the Box. Don’t see it? It’s hard to miss! The 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV and Kia Soul EV are perfect contrasts, not just in terms of design, but in philosophy, too. Each is a unique take on what it means to be a mainstream electric vehicle (EV), although b

When shopping for a family hauler, it can be tough to decipher between wants and needs. Plenty of people want SUVs with three rows of seats these days, even if they don’t need them – at least not with much frequency. (Either way, we’re still big believers in the merits of the minivan here at autoTRADER.ca despite their declining popularity ac

Of all the nameplates to return in recent years, none deserves its second lease on life as much as the 2021 Toyota Venza . There was a lot to like about it last time around, but it never quite caught its stride; consider it ahead of its time, categorized as such alongside the Honda Accord Crosstour, among others. But it’s back after a five-yea

The electric revolution is upon us, my friends, and it’s even infiltrating the hallowed ground of popular cars like the BMW 3 Series. In truth, it’s nothing new; the previous 3 Series could also be had in electrified format. But BMW didn’t sell a ton of them, and this 2021 BMW 330e is redesigned and doesn’t just offer the updated styling and te

Mazda has spent quite a few years differentiating its brand from other carmakers by promoting a more engaging drive experience, and it’s one that holds true across almost the entire lineup. It’s not just marketing nonsense either, since most every model in recent memory manages to connect its driver with the road better than most of the mainstrea

Every family is unique, and so too are their needs for family-friendly transportation. Sure, an SUV with eight seats is great – just ask autoTRADER.ca Associate Editor Dustin Woods’s dad, who has owned no fewer than five Chevrolet Suburbans through the years – but it’s probably overkill for an average family of three. The same goes for someth

With two new gas-electric SUVs arriving at just about the same time, it might seem like Hyundai has created some redundancy within its own lineup – or at least made it difficult to decide which is best. After all, there isn’t much separating them in terms of size, and their fundamentals are identical, with the same mechanical and electrical compo

Kia is no stranger to reinventing itself and its products – even when it’s not explicitly necessary to do so. While some constants remain, like pricing that usually undercuts the competition by a healthy margin and all kinds of desirable features for the money, the automaker’s ability to pivot has been instrumental in its sales success in recent

In the Before Times, prior to Ford deciding to rile up what felt like the entire Mustang fan base by slapping its storied muscle car nameplate onto an electric crossover , the most sacrilegious deed Ford did with the model was offer it with a turbocharged four-cylinder. Even though it’s no longer the most controversial Mustang model in Ford’s

The next time you’re stuck in traffic, take a look around you. Chances are at least a handful of the drivers stuck alongside you are in compact crossovers. They’re hugely popular these days, and it’s pretty easy to see why. You sit high up, they’re easy to get in and out of, you can fit a bunch of stuff inside, and they are comparably priced to t

When it comes to electrified rides, Porsches , Teslas, and Fords may get all the headlines and hype, but Kia – and sister brand Hyundai – have been quietly plugging away at it for a while. There’s the all-electric version of the Kia Soul , gas-free versions of the Hyundai Ioniq sedan and Kona subcompact crossover , and the 2021 K

To drive the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E 450 is to let the motoring masses know that you have your wits about you. Sensibility reigns supreme in your world, and you aren’t afraid who knows it. No, it’s not especially sexy or exciting, but that’s what an AMG-tuned E-Class is for. Even so, the E 450 is no slouch in its own right, and this version gets

For those about to adventure, we salute you. Well, even if you just want to look like you’re about to, that’s cool with us. Either way, there are all kinds of crossovers, trucks, and SUVs that look the part and play it, too. Some are more serious than others, of course, which has its pros and its cons. That’s where this list comes in. We took t
