What does the future of driving mean for the future of insurance? As automotive technology continues to evolve, the needs of drivers, automotive makers, and insurance companies will also shift. With researchers predicting the autonomous vehicle market will be worth 400 billion U.S. dollars globally by 2025, and in advanced economies, highways will be nearly driver-free by 2050 1, it’s important to begin digging into the implications of this transformation for your own insurance needs and the future of driving as a whole.

It’s tough to compete in the compact segment. The balance between quality and affordability must be struck with absolute precision to create something that will draw in the widest audience.

Perhaps the best way to think about the return of the Toyota Crown nameplate to Toyota’s lineup in North America after a 50-year hiatus, is that of one door opening as another closes.

As ubiquitous as they are, it can be hard to find a truly good all-season tire. They are, by definition, a compromise, sacrificing some amount of fair-weather performance in exchange for usability in cold, slushy winter conditions. Here’s the thing: few manufacturers manage to get the balance quite right, leaving you with a tire that performs rather poorly no matter what the season.

Welcome to AutoGuide’s Deals of the Week. Do you have the time to scour the internet to find the best deals on auto parts and accessories?

The Honda Accord has been around since the ‘70s, and it has used the time well in honing what makes the perfect mid-size family sedan. Even in the age of SUVs and crossovers, the Accord offers an almost unbeatable package for those that need to move people and things for a reasonable price.

Thanks to a shopper that’s rapidly shifting to a more outdoor-oriented lifestyle, today’s SUVs come in an increasingly wide range of flavors designed to satisfy the appetites of drivers after enhanced capability, confidence, and clearance on the road less travelled.

If you’re driving an electric vehicle, especially a high-performance model like the Tesla Model S, its easy to get used to the one-pedal driving experience that most EVs offer. Using the electric motors to stop and slow the car is such a neat trick compared with traditional braking systems. So you might be thinking that your EV doesn’t need high performance brake pads, especially when it comes time for replacement.

AutoGuide is looking to get some valuable feedback from its readers through our 2022 Reader Survey.

So you think you’ve found your dream car, or at least your ideal example of your next car. While it may not be the cheapest example on the market, it sure seems to tick all the boxes. It features significantly lower mileage than most other examples. It has all the options you could possibly want: heated seats, automatic climate control, adaptive HID headlights and a branded premium audio system. The vehicle history report comes back as clean as a freshly pressed pair of fine Italian slacks and the vehicle is verified to be free of any liens. You’ve pressed every button you could find and all the electrical gadgets and gizmos seem to be working perfectly. The body appears to be in phenomenal shape, as does the interior. It’s even in your favorite color combination. Oh what a savvy shopper you are. But wait, isn’t there something you’re forgetting? It may seem perfect, but is it actually perfect or is it all a facade? Shouldn’t you get verification that it is indeed the real deal? Of course you should. Here are six reasons why you need a pre-purchase inspection.

If you’re one of many shoppers comparing the Toyota Tundra and Chevrolet Silverado, you’re faced with a nearly daunting level of selection when it comes to powertrains, features, trim-grades and capabilities.

We all love the idea of travelling with our best friends—whether they have two legs or four! But before you hit the road you need to make sure you understand how to keep your pets safe in the car, as well as how they fit into your insurance coverage.

Subaru’s big family hauler, has been refreshed this year. Behold the 2023 Subaru Ascent

Maybe your current car is worn out beyond justifiable repair. Maybe it just doesn’t suit your needs anymore. Maybe you’re looking to buy a car for the first time in your life. Maybe your kids have graduated college and you’re looking for a special ride to celebrate. Whatever the occasion, buying a car can often be both stress-filled and exciting. Here are some tips on how to buy a used car from a dealer or a private seller without getting taken for a ride.

As competition in the small SUV market continues to heat up, Toyota has made a major play to try and capture the attention of younger buyers with the new-for-2022 Toyota Corolla Cross.

You already know that an oil change is a key part of making sure your engine performs. Even the best engine oils break down over time. Additives are used up, particulates and soot enter the mix, and heat and friction begin to affect viscosity. It’s why changing your vehicle’s engine oil on schedule is so important. And why your manufacturer’s warranty requires it.

We think open discussion and information is good for the insurance business. Otherwise, it’s easy for misconceptions to spread and become common knowledge. Misunderstanding the ins-and-outs of your insurance policy could be a costly mistake, which is why we’re taking the time to tackle some of the most common myths when it comes to auto insurance.

Cresting the hill I did a quick double take at what appeared to be an angry, moss-covered boulder on tip-toes rising up in front of my grill.

The personal effects that travel in our cars with us can collect into distracting, unsightly mountains of clutter; it makes sense, then, to try to organize them. But there’s another side to controlling the mess—safety.

Just 25 years ago car buying was relatively simple, if still a headache. Unless you were after a high end luxury, sports, or collector car, all your new car choices were on the lot at your local dealership; and there were 100 pages of used car classifieds at every checkout. Or you could always bring your wallet down to Yetarian’s Premium Deluxe Motorsport and take your chances with their low, low, prices. Only a few diehards would think about having a car shipped in from somewhere or taking European delivery of their Volvo or BMW.

It’s hard to think a Ram 1500 TRX isn’t extreme enough for pickup truck buyers. 

Every vehicle has a story, and before you pull the trigger on any pre-owned car, truck, or SUV, a VIN lookup can help you learn what that story is.

Today’s driver tends to prefer a SUV for a variety of reasons. Car-like handling characteristics and maneuverability, an elevated driving position, all-weather traction from widely-available All-Wheel Drive (AWD), flexibility and space that’s easy to appreciate for growing families.

To us, the Hyundai Palisade was a surprise smash hit, and we think for Hyundai too.

Automotive brakes haven’t changed much in nearly a century. Decades ago, engineers came up with a great system, and have largely stuck with it. With the dawn of electric vehicles, automakers had the opportunity to reinvent the system. But they decided not to. Instead, they made small changes and improvements, but left the core parts the same. Take a break and learn how brakes, how EV brakes are different, and why NRS galvanized brake pads are the perfect choice for electric vehicles.

EVs are one of the hottest topics in the automotive industry, and if recent trends are any indication, they are only going to get hotter.

Earlier this week, the internet was set abuzz when DeLorean returned from the dead with a new concept penned straight from Italdesign. The concept’s reaction was a mixture of optimism and skepticism from most, except Kat DeLorean Seymour — John DeLorean’s daughter. She was shocked and frustrated at the news of a DeLorean revival.

For when the “regular” GR Corolla isn’t hardcore enough.

How does one classify the Volkswagen Taos? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves for quite some time. And not just about the little Volkswagen SUV, but the segment as a whole.

It’s no secret that the current economy has made it difficult to buy a new vehicle. With a shortage of chips and an increase in invoice prices, it can be hard to find a car that fits your budget.

Want a chance to win a 2022 BMW M5 CS (BMW’s most powerful production car ever) while also helping support a worthy charity? You’re in luck! We have teamed up with Omaze to help promote its sweepstakes, which is supporting the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, fiscally sponsored by the Entertainment Industry Foundation.

Kia’s original Niro small crossover was notable for one reason: You could get a hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, or a full EV.

Shopping for insurance has changed dramatically in recent years. Smaller companies have entered the marketplace (there are now over 6,000 insurance companies and 36,000 independent agencies serving consumers across the US!), new technologies have made pricing more accurate, and comparison shopping has become a regular part of the insurance buying process. Some consumers prefer to work with an insurance agent and others are content to complete the entire process on their own online.

Never fear, Volvo is here. Recently, Volvo announced plans to make recharging a whole lot easier for anyone who owns an electric Volvo. 

They’re everywhere today, but lithium-ion jump starters only first appeared in 2013. Now there are thousands of them (see our favorite portable jump starters), and what was once an expensive specialty product is affordable enough that most people should keep one in their car. They’re not only convenient, but safer than using jumper cables, as all the good ones detect reverse polarity. This prevents injuries from sparks and arcing; possible fires; and damage to a car’s battery and even electronics. In an emergency you don’t need another vehicle to get your car started, plus they almost all have flashlights and various USB ports to act as giant chargers and battery banks.

Back in 2012, manufacturers were scrambling to cash in on the sudden rise in small SUV demand.

The Kia Telluride, with its rugged looks, huge cabin, and surprising levels of luxury, was a huge hit for the automaker when it arrived in 2019.

Sometimes you need to get a vehicle moved across the state or across the country. It might be a rare classic ride you spent years finding, or a brand new vehicle that had the options you wanted but was a few states away. Shipping a car or a truck isn’t like shipping most packages. You can’t drop the keys at the post office and hope for the best.

Upcoming all-electric pickup can charge your home—and with a future update, do it whenever it can save you money.

Chances are you’ve already got a box full of tools for working on cars and trucks. Socket wrenches, combination wrenches, gear pullers, and countless specialty tools that are for doing just one thing on just one vehicle. The right chemical additives are like good specialty tools. Designed to do a job and to do it well. Liqui Moly has a full line of these chemical tools, made in Germany to the highest standards.

You’ve heard the promise in every insurance commercial: bundle your policies and save!

First, Toyota announced it would launch a high-performance hatchback. Then, it really delivered!

If you drive a Tesla, then you’re probably not spending much time thinking about brakes. Because no matter if you have a Model S, 3, X, or Y, in single, dual-motor, and Performance models, you probably don’t use them a whole lot.

There was a time when motor oil was motor oil. The engine in your car or truck was built with low stresses in mind, with wider tolerances and the expectation that it would have to be overhauled and rebuilt well before the odometer rolled over into six-digits. Today, the engine in your car, truck, or SUV is vastly more complicated than ever before. Turbochargers, variable valve timing, cylinder deactivation, and the expectation that it will live and perform for hundreds of thousands of miles while making more power and using less fuel.

The time has come to replace the family chariot and the hunt for its successor is in full swing.

Be prepared to hear a lot about Vinfast over the next few months.

Lingenfelter Performance Engineering has donated one of their hair-raising (just listen to the thing) Eliminator Spec engines to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
