2024 GMC HUMMER EV SUV
Every so often, a vehicle born of a "let's do it" attitude debuts. That go-for-it approach usually creates track-ready sports cars. This time, it created an electric SUV.
From the rear doors forward, the Hummer EV SUV is identical to its pickup sibling the one that weighs 9640 pounds and required a trip to the truck scales because it tilted our scales. GMC says the SUV isn't as heavy as the pickup, but we'd still beware of bridges rated at four tons.
The weight loss is largely due to a smaller battery pack. Instead of 24 modules, the SUV packages 20 below the floor. The estimated 177.3-kWh pack should result in at least 250 miles of range.

Kia Carnival Hybrid HIGHS: Big mpg bump, no CVT weirdness, solid ride and handling. LOWS: Shared HVAC and audio controls, second-row loungers can't be removed, changing brake-pedal feel.
Medium Spicy
Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo HIGHS: Lengthy list of features, spacious interior, generous trunk. LOWS: Uncomfortably flat seats, rivals are quicker, only modest grip.

Suspensions of Disbelief
It's easy to say a vehicle rides well but much more difficult to explain the nuanced implications of that highly subjective statement.
PUMPED-UP KICKS
NISSAN ISN'T SHY about experimenting with its subcompact of ferings. In the recent past, it briefly gave us the adorable Cube, seemingly designed by Hello Kitty, followed by the frog-eyed Juke that somehow spawned a six-figure R-badged super-SUV in other markets.

"A ROMANCE THAT BUILDS WITH SPECTACULAR PASSION. THE LONGER YOU DRIVE IT, THE BETTER IT GETS."
When the history of the sports sedan is written, the late-narrative plot twist that few would have seen coming is the emergence of CadillacCadillac!-as the keeper of the flame. And yet, that's exactly what's happened.
