2023 GMC Canyon

MC, the luxe-truck division of General Motors, has long struggled to differentiate its products from mechanically similar Chevrolets.

2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty

The heavy-duty truck world moves more slowly than other pickup classes, and progress comes in spurts. Take the Ford F-Series Super Duty, whose recent refresh included softer-edged styling, a new entry-level gas-fed V-8, a new high-output 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8, and myriad small improvements like new bedside steps. Is it still basically the same truck as before? Absolutely, but it’s also a better Super Duty, however incrementally.

2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD

When Chevrolet unveiled its all-new 2020 Silverado HD lineup, it set the truck  world ablaze, and not in a good way.

YOUR ICON OF ICONS: CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Was there ever any doubt? MotorTrend readers are largely American, and as much as we love Jeeps, Mustangs, and F-150s in this country, the Corvette has been “America’s sports car” for nearly as long as this publication has existed. That’s why you chose it via our online vote as the most iconic car of the past 75 years.

AGENTS OF ZERO

WE DID IT AGAIN: RUNNING OUR VW ID4 EV OUT OF ELECTRICITY, JUST TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS

THEY LISTENED

THE NEW TESLA MODEL 3 HIGHLAND FIXES NEARLY EVERYTHING WE HATED ABOUT THE OLD CAR

2023 Lexus RZ

Lexus says it will make only battery-powered vehicles by 2035, and the new RZ 450e is the brand’s first dedicated EV. This midsize crossover indicates Lexus’ future lineup will have luxurious appeal, but we find this first effort lacking in crucial areas.

2024 Land Rover Defender

The Defender 130 is a tricky one to judge. On one hand, it potentially improves upon a design and package we previously lauded enough to crown as our 2021 SUV of the Year in the form of the standard Defender 110. The 130 is more than a foot longer than the 110 and has more room for people and stuff, stretching the existing design into a new body style. (The 130’s wheelbase remains unchanged.)

2024 Kia Seltos

If you’ve been a fan of Kia’s recent styling direction but don’t want to pay top dollar for it, the 2024 Kia Seltos is a great way to get a rolling piece of that design aesthetic at a reasonable price.

2023 Jeep Compass

When asked to identify an off-road vehicle, the average person will point to just about any Jeep.

2024 Hyundai Kona

The Kona enters its second generation for 2024 with a new design language. It’s larger than the outgoing Kona, too, and its uncommonly ornate (for this class) and unmistakable design is something we’re already seeing in other upcoming Hyundai products. Having really liked the previous Kona, would our judges warm to this one?

2023 Ford Escape

The Escape is one of those SUVs that hasn’t ranked at the top of its class for a long time, but every time we drive one, we’re pleasantly surprised. Although it perpetually feels a little outdated, there’s some inherent goodness baked into the Escape.

2024 Dodge Hornet

Is this a Kirkland label discount Alfa Romeo Tonale, or is it a slightly pricier but way more fun-to-drive Toyota RAV4/ Honda CR-V competitor? The former perception might earn the new Dodge Hornet value points with us, but the brand is counting on the latter impression to gain it a toehold in a hugely profitable segment and arrest its long slide into rear-drive Hellcat oblivion.

2024 Buick Envista

We had high hopes for the Envista, Buick’s new entry-level SUV. It sports a new nameplate and standout looks, especially for a model that sees even its top-tier Avenir trim carrying a starting price of less than $30,000.

2024 Buick Encore GX

As far as midcycle refreshes go, the 2024 Buick Encore GX’s is unusual in that the car looks all-new when really only the nose and tail see significant changes.

2023 BMW X7

BMW’s updates to the X7 address a few of our complaints about last year’s version. It gets a redesigned front end, retuned handling, and a particularly nice distraction: more power. Yet that might not be enough to impress for such a pricey offering.

2024 Audi Q8 Sportback E-Tron

The updated Audi E-Tron has a new name: the Audi Q8 E-Tron. But much like the old E-Tron, the design and engineering of the updated luxury electric SUV seems to be geared toward not scaring off legacy customers.

2025 Lotus Emeya

Weird name, four doors, stupid speed.

2023 Ford F-150 FP700

Having recently sampled a pristine OG Lightning from the 1990s (July 2023), believe us when we say the F-150 FP700 is the only modern successor to that exuberant original.

2023 Lexus LM

For the best experience, don’t even drive it.

2024 Porsche 911 S/T

This subtle killer is peak Porsche.

2024 Nissan Z NISMO

Nissan Z chief product specialist Hiroshi Tamura says his aim was not to deliver an ultimate numbers car but rather a “willing dance partner” to enjoy a favorite challenging road with.
