Manufacturers are trying to carve out every single niche they can find in the murderously competitive SUV and crossover markets.  Honda has a pair of pocket aces in the mid-size game, with two machines that share a lot in terms of powertrain but differ greatly in terms of image and attitude.

With the number of options available, the mid-size SUV segment is probably the most competitive one in the North American market.

Fans of the seven-slot grille have had a lot to be excited about over the past few years.

Despite the bustling SUV crowd, it’s heartening to see a brand like Mercedes-AMG willing to dip its toes in the hot hatch pond.

The joy in editor Sebastien Bell’s face is clear from 50 yards away. It’s a no-Insta-filter-necessary sort of Monday morning, and he’s practically floating in his seat as the red convertible rolls my way. Is this affordable sports car head-to-head over before it’s even begun?

Small crossovers have quickly become the most popular vehicles in the luxury world, as they offer access to premium amenities with a low price point and great versatility.

The continued crossover obsession has pushed automakers to find niche upon niche. The Seltos, Kia’s latest entry into the fray, splits the difference between the sub-compact and plain ol’ regular-compact classes.

So you’ve decided on a compact SUV but want to save at the pumps. Good choice.

These three luxury compact crossovers go about doing their business in three very different ways.

The minimalist or the opulent? That is the question. 

The 2021 Toyota Sienna is an all-hybrid entry into a segment that will be almost completely transformed for 2021.

A solitary powertrain, upscale cabin, and class-leading convenience features—but is it enough?

BMW has now taken the wraps off the 4 Series coupe. With the same bones as the new 3 Series and that … challenging front grille, the second-gen 4 could be a star from the driver’s seat, but it will face some stiff competition from its fellow coupe countrymen.

The Toyota Camry vs Honda Accord. Eternal rivals in the mid-size sedan market. Choosing between them has been the debate of many a dinner table.

Mid-size three-row crossovers are big business these days. The de facto replacement for the last generation’s minivans, these vehicles provide space for seven or eight people plus their stuff, with the added security of (usually optional) all-wheel drive.

Pragmatism. That’s what the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, two recently refreshed titans of industry, represent.

Like the Cheshire Cat slowly vanishing from the Queen of Hearts’ croquet field, the mid-size four-door sedan is disappearing from this country’s automotive marketplace. Two of the Detroit Three are busily pulling the plug on Fusion and Impala. And the Charger and 300 soldier on with underpinnings so old they could be carbon dated.

The Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage are two popular choices in the compact crossover segment, and for good reason: they share a lot in common.

It can be argued with some vehemence that the Ford Motor Company is responsible for the plethora of crossovers and SUVs plying our nation’s roads.

As car companies innovate their way into the 2020s, many cubic acres of time and money are being shoveled into the furnace that is research and development for electric cars.

There was a time when Cadillac called itself the standard of the world, and it wasn’t just marketing puff.

The ever-growing number of compact luxury crossovers is giving automakers far more freedom to develop new vehicles than the sedan body styles they’re replacing ever did.

Crossovers are all the rage and are quickly becoming the volume models for many automakers. That is especially true for Infiniti, which sells more QX60s than any other model regardless of class in its entire lineup. But does the higher volume necessarily mean that it’s the best?

The Chevrolet Blazer and Subaru’s Outback might not seem like they belong together in the market, but that’s probably because you remember the Outback as the small station wagon it used to be.

It’s time for another comparison test! This go around, we’re looking at Honda’s venerable Accord and the suave Mazda6.

The Honda Civic has beat every compact car we’ve compared it against so far: the Mazda3, Subaru Impreza, and Toyota Corolla. That’s an impressive feat seeing as all of those competitors are much newer than the Civic, which came out in 2015. 

The executive sport-sedan is a jack-of-all-trades that can fit neatly between a flagship vehicle and an entry-level model. The Audi A6 and Mercedes E-Class borrow heavily from their big siblings (the A8 and S-Class) but offer a true luxury experience for buyers who aren’t looking to spend 100s of thousands of dollars. Choosing a better vehicle between the two is no easy task.

After Kia dropped the Stinger on us, (a car that won our car of the year when it debuted) many were left wondering how the automaker would follow up on its success. The Stinger was premium, well equipped and matched cars from a class above it.

The Lincoln Nautilus and the Infiniti QX50 are two of the prettiest but most flawed luxury crossovers on the road today. So let’s see if we can find out which one can charm us enough to overlook its flaws.

When the Genesis G70 came out last year, we were so impressed by the sport sedan that we awarded it as AutoGuide.com‘s 2019 Car of the Year.

Compact hatchbacks are usually all about value and not much else, but the Mazda3 and Toyota Corolla also add style, driving dynamics, and tech into the mix.

If you know anything about trucks, you likely know practically everything about the Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-150 because they’re two of the best-selling vehicles in North America, hell, the world.

It’s time for the age-old debate: Toyota  Corolla or Honda  Civic? These two compacts have been duking it out since the ’70s and that has led to these two hatchbacks, which are extremely likable and easy to recommend. Both hatchbacks are hugely successful but choosing a better hatchback comes down to which vehicle offers the most value for the money.

A lick alike. Peas in a pod. Carbon copies of each other. Whichever way a person chooses to phrase it, the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon are the same in a lot more ways than they are different. This isn’t news, with shared powertrains between the two midsize truck offerings from General Motors being a strategy that goes back decades.

All-wheel drive is becoming an important factor when it comes to buying a new car, which is why so many people are flocking to SUVs and crossovers. But why get a crossover when you can get a sporty sedan with extra traction? That’s the thesis behind the new Nissan Altima, which now offers AWD along with a sleek new look.

For years, if you wanted an AWD hatchback without getting an over-the-top hot hatch, there was only one option: the Subaru Impreza. But Mazda has entered this domain with the new Mazda3, which is now being offered with all-wheel-drive. Is the new Mazda set to upstage Subaru in its own territory?

The new Mazda3 is here with a new trick up its sleeve: AWD, but is that enough to make it the best in the class? We brought out the 2019 Honda Civic  to see if the new Mazda can topple the best compact on the market. The Civic has been recognized as one of the best all-around compact cars thanks to its abundance of space, excellent fuel mileage, and fun driving dynamics. How will Mazda’s new hatchback fare against the best in the biz?

Comparing a Mercedes G-Wagen to a Jeep Wrangler might seem as absurd as comparing a Michelin star restaurant to a fast food joint, but in the end, you leave neither hungry in the same way that neither SUV fails to make you smile or get you out of a tough spot.

Crossovers are getting bigger and bigger to accommodate the needs of the average family. We brought out a trio of new spacious, feature filled and impressive three-row crossovers to see how they compare to one another.

Crossovers are everywhere these days, but finding one that’s really rugged and ready for adventure leaves you with just a few options including the Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester.

The Kia Sportage and Kia Sorento may look a bit similar, but these two crossovers are actually quite different.

The Acura MDX and Lexus RX are two of the OG luxury crossovers. The MDX debuted in 2001 and the RX just a few years earlier in 1999. They’re mainstays in the hotly contested segment and have been kicking it before crossovers were cool.

I am very lucky to be one of the few automotive journalists in the world who has driven both the  BMW Z4 and  Toyota Supra, and I wanted to bring up all the ways the two sports cars felt very different, despite being built on the same platform.

The Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 have the distinct honor of being our previous utility vehicle of the year winners, but as the years go by and the new models are considered old, they lose a bit of their luster.

Many luxury SUVs have been completely redone for 2019, which can make things tough on buyers who might want to stay loyal to a brand or jump ship to an all-new experience.

You’ve probably heard by now that sedans are not selling as well as they used to. The once popular body style is losing favor to the more family-friendly and rugged SUV, which offers all-wheel drive capability in addition to more space.

The Subaru brand has long been the slightly offbeat ride of choice for those seeking to incorporate all-wheel drive into their daily commute.

While the number of electric vehicles on sale today is growing, there still aren’t very many options for those who want a battery electric car or crossover.

While it’s a far cry from the mid-2000s when the General offered what seemed like a dozen SUVs all basically the same underneath, there are now four different compact crossovers on the sales floor at your local full-line GM dealer.

If you’re looking to buy an affordable crossover with all-wheel-drive, you might find yourself in a Subaru dealership.

Two-row crossovers are the default vehicle of choice for an increasing number of families. Practical, spacious, and higher off the ground than a sedan, these wagons-on-stilts offer a lot of bang for one’s hard-earned buck.

In the past few years, sedan sales have taken a serious nosedive, and it’s all thanks to the wider availability of crossovers.

The number of great compact crossovers keeps increasing, especially as newly updated vehicles like the Subaru Forester and Volkswagen Tiguan arrive boasting more features and space.

The Infiniti QX50 and Acura RDX are two natural rivals. Each features striking designs, a lot of technology, and showcase the future direction for the respective brands. Choosing a winner between the two of them can’t be easy, but here at AutoGuide.com, we relish the chance to judge these two competitors.

A front-drive hatchback versus a rear-drive sports car? We’re not crazy.

It can be hard to decide between a mid-size or a compact sedan. After all, the size difference and price structures are almost identical — how do you know which one is right for you?

The BMW 3 Series is the sports sedan that supported a whole brand and launched an entire market segment, with countless of other automakers chasing that perfect blend of luxury and fun that the 3 always managed to perfect.

It seems like every pickup out there has a huge hurdle to clear if they want to be deemed successful.

In the sports car market, some cars are tailored for the track, like the Subaru BRZ tS, which sports an adjustable, functional spoiler and other tweaks to make it a real road-course hero. Other cars are decidedly less hardcore, but fun in a different way. The Ford Mustang Convertible is a perfect example of that. Not everyone is looking for fast or consistent lap times with a new two-door, and for those, the drop-top could do the trick. Simply put, few car buyers are ever the same, and when it comes to coupes, that differentiation is key.

There was once a time, just after the turn of the Millennium, when Cadillac’s performance credentials were buried so far in its past that the chance of its core group of customers listing ‘driving thrills’ as the reason why they bought their car was next to zero.
