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.

The subcompact crossover segment is an important one and Honda has a bestseller with the HR-V. The Nissan Rogue Sport (aka the Qashqai in Canada)is new this year and wants to steal some of Honda’s thunder, so we’ve compared them head to head to see which one is better. Here’s what we thought.

In the world of compact luxury crossovers, the BMW X1 has reigned supreme. It outsells many of its rivals and is seen as a premium choice with a lower price tag.

It seems today anything can be considered “sporty” even big SUVs. It’s led to the development of the two vehicles we have here, the Dodge Durango SRT and the Chevy Tahoe RST. Two giant, heavy, three-row crossovers that are somehow inspired by performance.

The Volkswagen Golf was the quintessential hatchback choice for a long time and had quite the reign until Honda decided to bring the hatchback to its 10th-generation Civic lineup.

Despite rising fuel costs and urban sprawl, SUVs still represent big business and sell in impressive numbers. In light of that, we decided to take a look at two of our favorite new SUVs, the Kia Sorento and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, to see which one is better for each kind of buyer out there.

These days quirky is cool, and that trait extends to genre-busting cars like the Toyota C-HR and Kia Soul. These front-wheel-drive only cars aren’t quite crossovers but are more practical than other cars with their same footprint.

The SUV started as nothing more than a pickup truck frame with a hard roof covering what was the bed. Big and clunky – but dry. That was the ’70s and in the decades following, the segment has exploded with SUVs of all sizes and makes. It’s now the single most popular automotive body style overall.

Volvo has been on top of the world (literally, as the brand’s HQ in Gothenburg is the furthest North of all automakers) delivering attractive cars that are fuel efficient, safe and stunning to look at.

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio are two excellent luxury compact crossovers with very different personalities. 

I’m a huge fan of sport sedans. They’re do-anything cars with luxury appointments and capable powertrains, especially with AWD, which makes them all-season warriors.

We get it: People like crossovers. They like funky-looking ones, reliable ones, fuel-efficient ones, high-tech ones, fun-to-drive-ones, and even spacious ones. It seems every week, we get word of another new crossover on the way, giving consumers more choice than ever.

With their powerful engines, advanced four-wheel-drive systems, ample ground clearance and abundant technology, today’s full-size trucks are ready for just about anything, from heavy-duty towing to weekday commuting to tackling the worst conditions Old Man Winter can conjure up.

While crossovers are all the rage right now, a lot of people still buy midsized sedans like the Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata and hold on to them for hundreds of thousands of miles and several years. With some exciting new updates to these established players in this segment, it’s only natural to compare them.

With the crossover market exploding these days, car companies are finding more and more ways to satisfy customer demands, from rakish rooflines to ridiculous power, and excellent practicality to obscene luxury.

It may be hard to find a really bad car these days, but it might be even more difficult to find a car that’s attractively affordable. We have two cars here that swing in under $20,000 and it’s weirdly exciting to pit them against each other.

If you have a supercar and put it away for the winter and are looking for a “winter beater” that’s not an SUV, here are two very compelling choices. 

It’s been a big year for the automotive industry.

There’s no question that minivans offer the best combination of passenger and cargo space in the smallest package, but which minivan is the best in the segment?

You’ve probably heard it a few times in recent years. There are no bad cars (or trucks) anymore, and with very few exceptions, that’s essentially true. Still, it doesn’t stop automotive reviewers and (ahem) experts from poring over spec sheets, driving the machines beyond their intended performance envelopes and generally just needling the details to try to pick our preferences.

GM helped popularize the subcompact crossover segment with the Buick Encore, so it makes sense that the Chevrolet Trax should be a strong contender in its field just based on its heritage. And for 2017, the Trax gets new styling that takes it from sleepy to sleek.

The clerk at the liquor store didn’t ask for my ID the last time I went and it sent me spiraling because I began to realize a few things about my age.

History has its fair share of epic rivalries. Coke versus Pepsi, Tupac versus Biggie, Batman versus Superman. In the automotive sphere, Honda Accord versus Toyota Camry is one of the most hotly contested rivalries there is.

Can you name a true Jeep Wrangler competitor? Based on pure mountain-goat levels of climbing ability, sure, you have vehicles like the Chevy Colorado ZR2, Ford Raptor, and Ram Power Wagon. Each an excellent off-road vehicle in its own way, but none a small body-on-frame SUV with a removable roof, doors, and windshield.

Even though the Hyundai Elantra Sport is kind of new on the scene, it’s already become a natural rival for the well-established Honda Civic Si.

The Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA have been at loggerheads in the booming subcompact luxury segment since the very beginning, but Audi is quietly pulling ahead. 

The BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class have been completely overhauled for this year, and if you didn’t think the regular versions were sporty enough, but don’t want the full-on hardcore M or AMG experience, these two luxury sedans offer a good middle ground.

It can be tough being the middle child, constantly vying for attention and approval of others.

Spend any time in the 2017 Honda Civic Type R and you’ll quickly realize that it’s probably the best sport compact car money can buy.

The BMW 5 Series has been considered the standard for executive sport sedans for decades. But when something is held in such high regard, it tends to hold a higher price tag.

For all the similarities shared by the Toyota 86 and Mazda MX-5 Miata, they aren’t exactly direct rivals.

Toyota was really late to the game with a subcompact crossover and jealous that its arch nemesis Honda has its HR-V, it recently came out with the sharp-looking C-HR, which was supposed to be a Scion.

For years Volkswagen neglected the SUV segment, with just the undersized Tiguan and overpriced Touareg in their showrooms, but they’re finally bringing a three-row, seven-seat midsize crossover to market with the Atlas.

The Honda CR-V has pretty much always been the benchmark when it comes to compact crossovers and that means it has always been the one to beat.

Sensibility has become the driving factor behind why crossovers have taken over the market — they have the right mix of practicality, utility, and value that families need.

The Toyota Tacoma is as traditional a truck as you can get.

The Forester is one of Subaru’s best selling vehicles, and there are a number of great reasons for it to be so successful, but to properly measure its ability to serve customers, we have to compare it to another popular crossover.

Of all the comparisons we planned for the 2017 Honda CR-V, the Mazda CX-5 might just be its toughest test.

Let’s just get the obvious out of the way: This is one of the most unfair comparisons ever.

To say crossovers are a huge hit with consumers is an understatement.

In literature, every great protagonist has its foil; a character that helps highlight some of the central figure’s finer qualities.

Ever since we picked up the Audi A4 for our long-term test, this is the comparison I’ve been itching to do.

There’s little doubt that the small car segment is a shrinking one, though the situation may not be as dire as it seems on the surface.

After years of stumbling, both Lincoln and Volvo have regained their footing. 

The first comparison we set up for our Honda CR-V long-term tester is the Ford Escape. It was refreshed for 2017 but remains a sporty little CUV that provides a dose of excitement along with its practicality.

As part of our long-term test of the Audi A4, we wanted to challenge it against the class leaders, and the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class dominate the small luxury segment.
