The Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is a brand new model line for 2020—the first in a crop of new utility vehicles from Volkswagen as the German automaker looks to double its crossover lineup. It’s essentially a sportier-looking Volkswagen Atlas with slightly shrunken dimensions, and two rows of seating instead of three. Powertrain options are identical… Continue Reading...
The Nissan Pathfinder is Nissan’s three-row mid-size crossover, slotting above the two-row Murano in the lineup and below the big, Titan-based Armada. The Pathfinder is the utility of choice for customers who need seven seats, but don’t necessarily want the Armada’s towing/hauling capacity, nor its thirsty V8 engine. Now in its fourth generation, the Nissan… Continue Reading...

The Honda Passport is the Japanese brand’s latest niche-filler in the ever-hot crossover market.

Once upon a time, Subaru tried its hand at making a three-row SUV for families. It was called the B9 Tribeca in some markets, or just plain Tribeca in the US. The only thing weirder than its name was its looks, so Subaru axed the Tribeca in 2014 and set to work on a replacement… Continue Reading...
The Kia Sportage has been around longer than most consumers probably realize. The first-generation model, which was a true body-on-frame compact SUV, first entered production way back in 1993. It soldiered on for nearly a decade in the U.S. market without much change, and by any objective measure, it was a sales flop. A couple… Continue Reading...

It isn’t the first big four-door car in the lineup — there’s the similarly-sized Porsche Panamera — but the Taycan is an all-electric option. It occupies much the same market as its traditionally-powered sibling, starting in the… Continue Reading...

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-size crossover utility vehicle sold under Fiat Chrysler’s rugged Jeep brand, and produced over four distinct generations.
