Subaru’s lifted Impreza, the Crosstrek compact SUV, has been without a hybrid variant since the latest generation debuted for the 2024 model year. Now, the brand of flat engines, all-wheel drive and dogs is rectifying that omission with the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid.

There are no major changes to the Lexus RC for its final year, and the full lineup remains available.

Now that the Dodge Challenger is gone and the Charger has morphed into having either electric propulsion or a turbocharged inline-six, the Stellantis brands’ V-8 engines are finding their last refuge in some weird places. The 6.4-liter Hemi is still available in the 2025 Jeep Wrangler, where its 470 horsepower makes for perhaps the shortest trip from standstill to top speed in any modern vehicle. And, after initiating its last call for Hemi V-8s last year, Dodge is continuing to sell them in the Durango for 2025.

In September 2024, Hyundai announced a program that provides 2025 Ioniq 5 N buyers with their choice of a free Level 2 home charging station or a $450 credit to use at certain public chargers. Now, the brand is opening up the offer to buyers of any 2025 Ioniq 5, not just the high-performance version.

Redesigned for 2024, the GMC Acadia grew in size to be more comparable with the Chevrolet Traverse with which it shares an underlying platform. After such a major overhaul, there are few changes with the three-row SUV for 2025. The entry-level Elevation trim now seats eight with a standard second-row bench seat (versus the previously standard seven with captain’s chairs) although a new Elevation Premium Package reverts that trim back to second-row captain’s chairs and adds a power-adjustable front passenger seat, 20-inch wheels and synthetic leather upholstery for $2,535.

The rear-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz GLE350 drops the model line’s base price $800 from 2024, to $63,000 even.

When Volvo first unveiled its smallest SUV ever, the electric EX30, we were enthusiastic. Stylish and tidy, with a range of up to 275 miles and a starting MSRP below $35,000, it was an appealing package. Now that sales are starting, the 2025 EX30 is still stylish and tidy, but scratch that business about the range and pricing.

Almost 10 years after the current generation debuted, the three-row Volvo XC90 receives its first refresh for 2025. A minor but impactful exterior rework and thorough interior overhaul result in a sharp new look that upholds the brand’s minimalist design values. The underlying mechanical structure was barely changed aside from the addition of standard adaptive dampers.

, Ram updated the styling and traded the famous (and famously thirsty) Hemi V-8 engines for a pair of twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-sixes in its bread-and-butter 1500 pickup truck. However, the base drivetrain is still the mild-hybrid 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, and the subtle exterior tweaks mean some shoppers will be hard-pressed to spot the differences between the 2024 and ‘25 trucks. They look nearly the same to buyers’ bank accounts, too: The 2025 Ram 1500 starts just $855 higher than the 2024 model at $42,270.
