comparison

Before you grab your torches and pitchforks about the mis-matched nature of this comparison test, hear us out. Yes, the Kia EV9 is a fully-electric machine while the CX-90 is a plug-in hybrid. Yes, there’s a twenty-grand gap in price between these two, as-equipped. And yes, they feel very different behind the wheel. But for folks wanting a 3-row crossover that can cover commuting duties with electrons instead of dinosaur juice, these are currently the only two viable mainstream options. So, how do they stack up against one another? Let’s find out.

In the world of four-wheel-drive vehicles, the Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner are two of the most sought after.

Words by Kyle Patrick

Subaru is a brand that embraces evolutionary updates opposed to revolutionary ones. The company is very conservative when it comes to model redesigns and some consumers have a hard time telling the new vehicle apart from the old one.

In the sea of three-row SUVs, the Volkswagen Atlas stands out as one of the larger options. With adult-size space in all three rows, it’s a great choice for families of all ages. Better still, for the 2024 model year, the Atlas is all-new.

This is what over 1,000 all-electric horsepower looks like.

A Rematch on an Even Playing Field

So you’ve been called back to the office.

Two Different Approaches to the Hot Hatch

Look at these two drama llamas.

It's a question we get asked all the time: EV or PHEV? With the Kia Niro, the answer is yes.

Size matters when it comes to three-row SUVs.

"Every EV is the same" just isn't true. Look at this sibling rivalry between the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6.

Remember the 1990s?

When it comes to affordable, compact German sedans, there’s only one choice: the Jetta.

The Honda Accord saw a major redesign for 2023, but which is the right affordable trim: Honda Accord LX or EX?

This four-door face-off boils down to two things: reputation, or value.

The Ram 1500 is one of the best-selling vehicles in America.  

Spoiled. That’s what we are. Flat-out spoiled. Just look at what we’ve gathered together for the latest Best Performance Car AutoGuide shootout brought to you by WeatherTech.

The popularity of the Volkswagen Golf GTI is undeniable.

What you are looking at are the only two AWD compact sedans on the market.

The Chevrolet Equinox is one of the best-selling vehicles in America.

The Honda Civic is a car which needs no introduction. But it comes in a variety of flavors—so which trim is right for you?

This isn’t just another AutoGuide comparison test brought to you by WeatherTech. It’s one we refer to as the battle of the boxes, but there’s more to it than that.

Welcome to another AutoGuide comparison test brought to you by WeatherTech. This is a breakout faceoff from our big three-row SUV comparison earlier this month. Here, it’s sibling rivalry time.

We sent out the call. A request to every manufacturer, looking for new, significantly updated, or strong contenders in the mainstream three-row SUV segment. We need the best of best for a special AutoGuide Three-Row SUV Shootout Comparison brought to you by WeatherTech. Our goal: to find the best 3 row SUV. 

It’s hard to overstate just how important the battle of the 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid is.

Affordable EVs do exist, and these are two of the best. It’s the Kia Niro EV vs Chevrolet Bolt EUV comparison.

They grow up so fast. It’s a battle of two different takes on the small luxury SUV: the BMW X1 vs Lexus NX350h.

What we have here are two ends of the luxury compact SUV spectrum. It’s the Acura RDX vs Lincoln Corsair comparison.

The Toyota Crown is a car unlike any others on the market. But there’s a family rivalry brewing. For the best luxury bang for your buck, we’re looking at the Toyota Crown vs Lexus ES.

Four big, body-on-frame SUVs enter the arena. Only one will win. It’s time to see which is the best full-size SUV.

On this page, it’s two of the hottest luxury EV sport utility models on the scene today. The BMW iX vs Tesla Model X. 

They’re two of the most visible EVs on the market. But in a battle of the Ford Mustang Mach-E vs Hyundai Ioniq 5, which is better suited to your needs?

We use “premium” and “luxury” interchangeably these days. But the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C300 and 2022 Volvo S60 show just how different these two terms can be.

Two of the latest all-electric SUVs to hit the market come from the same source. 

We went literal for our latest green comparison.

We try to do things a little differently here at AutoGuide. Thus, this odd-couple pairing of the new Nissan Z and Chevrolet Camaro.

The Toyota Highlander is a wildly popular mid-size SUV that saw a significant update for the 2023 model year.

After the looks, the most controversial part of the 2022 Subaru WRX reveal was its automatic transmission.

As shoppers become more interested in electrified and all-electric models, there’s been an increase in search traffic seeking comparisons between some of the hottest models on the EV scene today.

When a television series grips the world’s attention as it explodes in popularity; there’s bound to be spin-offs.

The Nissan Ariya vs Ford Mustang Mach-E are two popular EV SUV choices. One has been in this space for a few years while the other is all-new. 

These two Toyotas don’t easily fit into any one category. So welcome to a different sort of comparison: the new 2023 Toyota Crown versus Toyota Venza.

When I was growing up, my best friend’s mom had an all-white Fox body Mustang. It was the coolest car on the block.

It’s the era of the utility vehicle, and the market for small SUVs seems to be particularly hot right now as more and more North American new car buyers move away from sedans.

The competition in the compact EV SUV class is growing at a rapid pace. Here, we take an in-depth look at the Nissan Ariya vs Kia EV6.

The EV market is growing at such a pace that automakers can now start exploring niches. The latest examples? The Genesis GV60 and Volvo C40.

The BMW i4 vs Tesla Model 3. Two of the most direct competitors in the EV segment today.

According to Google, it’s 231 miles (372 kilometers) from Toronto to Detroit. The Polestar 2 is rated to 270 miles (435 km); the BMW i4, 282 miles (454 km). Easy peasy.

We take a deep dive through the features and capabilities of two affordable EV SUVs. It’s the Chevrolet Bolt EUV vs Hyundai Kona Electric.

Toyota and Honda’s first foray into the small compact SUV market didn’t go all that well.

When the market is dominated by SUV offerings, the humble family sedan is quickly becoming an overlooked choice. Often offering just as much utility as their taller cousins, the mid-size sedan is a sensible way to comfortably transport a gaggle of people and things.
