Review: 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Platinum Hybrid

You've got stuff and Toyota knows it, so now there's a GRAND Highlander to carry it, and your family, plus there's a hybrid model too.

2024 Volkswagen Atlas SEL Premium R-Line

3-row Atlas remains a smooth, comfy ride, but with a few quirks ... Sometimes it’s good when a car maker doesn’t futz too much with its designs, if the original was well executed. Such is the case with Volkswagen’s Atlas a mid-size crossover it makes at its Chattanooga, Tenn., plant, along with the Atlas Cross... Continue Reading →

Review: 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus

Stylish new plug-in hybrid SUV oozes luxury ... Credit Mazda with creating its first plug-in hybrid, the stylish three-row CX-90 SUV, which takes the place of its CX-9 for 2024. Mazda is moving mostly to double digits after its CX label for all its crossovers and SUVs, so CX-30, CX-50, CX-70, CX-90, oh, and there’s... Continue Reading →

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve 4×4

Going bigger with three rows to carry more crew, plus cargo ... Jeep’s Grand Cherokee has been a stout and stylish off-road capable SUV with a strong niche in the marketplace, so it’s natural for Jeep to try and build on that with a longer version, the L. Timing might not be in its favor... Continue Reading →

2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL AWD

Palisade, like Telluride, a first rate family SUV … I declared the Kia Telluride the finest SUV I’d driven in ages and an absolute winner in every way when I drove it last June, but its kissin’ cousin, the Hyundai Palisade is equally as praiseworthy. I know us reviewers are supposed to pick at the... Continue Reading →

2020 Kia Telluride SX AWD

Kia Telluride a perfect people mover, a slam dunk … Kia’s first big SUV is a perfect game, a hail Mary touchdown pass, a buzzer beater, whatever superlative sports metaphor you’d choose, the Telluride is all that. It’s harder to write a glowing review than one that picks a few nits, yet I found none... Continue Reading →

2018 Volkswagen Atlas V6 SEL w/4Motion

VW goes big into the SUV market with Atlas ... There are no awards for being late to the party, but VW is hoping sales are its consolation prize for finally creating a large SUV, the Atlas. It won’t win any styling awards (can you say big and boxy?), but it’s certainly stout and a... Continue Reading →

2017 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 4WD

New Nissan Pathfinder more civilized, comfy ... My Navy son had a Nissan Pathfinder years ago and it was a true sport-utility truck, built on a truck chassis and able to go off-roading with the other utes of the day. Pathfinder has been around now for 30 years, but those trucklike days are gone as more... Continue Reading →

2017 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition

New Honda Ridgeline redefines pickups Honda has reinvented the pickup and it’s a darn sight nicer than whatever you’ve driven before. To be honest, it’s a suburban cowboy’s pickup, but that’s what so many pickups are used as anyway – kid haulers and the occasional run to a home improvement store or big-box garden center....

2016 Mazda CX-9 Signature AWD

2016 Mazda CX-9 Signature AWD The luxury crossovers, the Mercedes, Lexus, BMWs may have a hard time convincing some of their buyers that Mazda’s new CX-9 isn’t a better value.
