Drivers like to measure performance in numbers, like zero to 60 in four seconds, or 400 horsepower, but the range per tank of gas is a strange measurement. A more logical performance metric for both hybrids and ICE vehicles would be miles per gallon. After all, you can fill up when the tank is empty. But in the case of this hybrid, the 700-mile range is more important than just a nice round number.

Kia recently revealed the EV9's new flagship 'GT' trim, and it's got enough pizzazz to spice up the competition.

Elon Musk has formed a close relationship with Donald Trump, and this could profoundly affect Tesla.

Rivian updated the R1T for 2025 MY not too long ago, and if you're planning to buy one, here's how much you'll have to shell to get the top-spec model

Fuel cost savings are a great way to calculate the cost price impact of paying extra for an EV, and here is the Korean EV with the best such savings.

When it comes to cars, the term 'budget'is ambiguous. We buy specific kinds of cars because we have specific needs. These same needs apply when we choose a hybrid. It has to be what we want and be able to do what we need. If the buyer needs a budget three-row, seven-seat SUV hybrid with AWD, the choice will be the most affordable such vehicle, as opposed to the lowest-cost hybrid on the market.

Drivers buy hybrids because they mostly perform better than their ICE equivalents and their MPG is way better. Hybrids are more expensive than comparable ICE, but still significantly cheaper than EVs, although EV prices are coming down. Korean and Japanese hybrids largely dominate this segment in the U.S. market, because they offer such excellent value for money. Whereas a decade or so ago, hybrids were often clunky compromises, bought by early adopters for environmental reasons, this class of car has become mainstream.

EVs have become popular, but they aren't as mainstream as ICEs yet. However, this EV has defied all odds to change the narrative.

Japan pioneered the hybrid and now dominates the sector, and here's an SUV from Lexus that is the most reliable one you can buy today.

The looks of certain EVs turn off many car lovers. The shape of the Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan, Hyundai Ioniq 6, and even the Lucid Air offends the eye of some. They are too smooth, and look like a piece of soap that melted in the sun. They lack the exciting edges and aggressive angles that make cars so attractive and interesting.
