The Ioniq 5 rewired our idea of the family vehicle, while Hyundai's N brand reframed performance.Smoosh the two together and the result is a 641-horsepower hot hatch.Filled with tons of tech and more performance acronyms than a bag of Scrabble tiles, the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N simulates various aspects of the traditional sports car experience, but the fun is real.The catch?

The new Land Cruiser is smaller, more efficient, and more affordable than the basically-a-Lexus model we said goodbye to in 2020.That's all good, but with this downsizing, Toyota's icon now sits much closer to the 4Runner than ever before, which will also see a whole new generation later this year.Is there enough room in this town for two body-on-frame Toyota mid-sizers?The Land Cruiser has a happy retro charm, but a relatively high price could be one hill it has trouble climbing.

Ford kicked off the Mustang's 60th anniversary on Wednesday.It was on this day, April 17, that the original model first debuted at the World's Fair in 1964.The Blue Oval will be hosting a birthday event at Charlotte Motor Speedway later today, but ahead of that it revealed a special edition Mustang named, appropriately enough, the 60th Anniversary Package.The 60th Anniversary pulls inspiration from the classics, starting with simple five-spoke, 20-inch alloys at all four corners.

More of a heavy facelift than a fully new model, the 2025 Toyota Camry nonetheless improves the brand's best-seller by updating the cabin and improving refinement across the board.Now exclusively hybrid-powered, the mid-sized four-door has a dash of Prius style inside and out.Even better?Depending on trim, it's actually more affordable than the outgoing model.

It's finally here: the all-electric Geländewagen ushers in a new era for Mercedes'off-road icon.

The Hyundai Elantra sees useful updates for 2024, with a freshened face and even more standard tech.With the compact segment continuing to see challenges from the small SUV crowd, Hyundai's now-smallest sedan majors on what sedans have long done best: offering a ton of space mixed with great fuel economy.It's not the most exciting choice in the segment, but be honest with yourself: how much does that really matter?

The trick Taco seats aren't in its SUV sibling—but never say never.

Folks looking to stretch their dollars will be hard-pressed to beat the Elantra.I don’t have to remind you that car prices are only going up.Beyond exceptions here and there, stickers are thousands more than they were just four years ago.That’s a big reason the 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL (Preferred in Canada) impressed us when we recently spent a week with it.

This week, I'm in Fort Worth, Texas to get first drive impressions on the refreshed Genesis GV80.The luxury crossover gets a light facelift on the outside, accented by new lights with Micro Lens Array (MLA) to give it a bit of a G90 vibe.Under the hood, powertrains are carryover with the 2.5T and 3.5T options.

A pricey—or very pricey, in Canada—statement vehicle, the 2024 Rivian R1T still impresses as the original EV truck.Full of thoughtful design and packing serious performance, the R1T adds a whole new dimension to America's favorite vehicle shape.Not that trucks needed any help, but the R1T is good enough to convince even non-truck folks.So long as they can swing that sticker.
