Toyota Motor Thailand has unveiled a new crossover-SUV, the Corolla Cross. The new vehicle fits in the Corolla lineup as a hatchback-style crossover option that capitalizes on Corolla branding in many markets.

Completely overhauled for the 2019 model year, the Ram 1500 continues forward with the new-generation truck in 2020. Key additions this year include the return of the EcoDiesel model, added exterior styling packages, and a new high-efficiency HFE trim level. The Ram 1500 is now in its fifth generation as a pickup truck. This new-generation Ram truck has more technology, more capability, but still keeps the core Ram Truck values Ram fans will expect. The former attachment to the Dodge name is completely gone with the new truck, making the separation complete. Still under the Fiat-Chrysler brand that encompasses Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, the Ram Truck brand is more focused on pickups and uses the Ram head logo exclusively. Most importantly, however, the concerns we had with this new truck last year were either unwarranted now that time has told its tale or have been remedied. The 2020 Ram 1500 is available in several configurations with varied cab sizes, bed lengths, and drivetrains. There are seven trim points and four engine choices for the 2020 model year. Note that the 2020 Ram Classic model is not a part of this review, but is mechanically identical to the 2018 model Ram truck.

Few vehicles have had the anticipation level and immediate interest level as has the Jeep Gladiator. New for 2020, the Gladiator builds on the legendary pickup trucks from Jeep's past. It even takes its name from one of them. Like those previous trucks, the Gladiator, despite appearances, is not just a Jeep Wrangler with a five-foot bed on it. The 2020 Gladiator uses a lot of what Jeep's parent company, Fiat-Chrysler, has learned from its Ram Trucks brand. The underpinnings of the Gladiator are more akin to the Ram 1500 pickup than they are to the Wrangler that the Gladiator's bodywork faithfully imitates. This is a good thing, as it makes the Gladiator a working pickup truck instead of a truck-in-shape-only as could have been the case. In keeping with the Jeep focus, however, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator does keep the off-road prowess, strong "get out there" nature, and rugged appeal of the other Jeep offerings. The Gladiator is a specialty truck that focuses on off-road capability above all else. Trim packages for the Gladiator bear this out with names like Rubicon and Mojave. The Jeep Gladiator is a mid-sized pickup truck that comes as a four-door with a five-foot cargo bed. It can be had in a hard top or automated convertible with rear-wheel bias and four-wheel drive. For the 2020 model year, a V6 gasoline engine and a V6 diesel engine are offered.

The 2020 Palisade is a new three-row crossover-SUV entry from Hyundai. The Palisade essentially replaces the three-row option for the smaller and less accommodating Santa Fe XL, adding a larger, more family-friendly model to compete in the larger midsized three-row segment. The 2020 Hyundai Palisade features three roomy rows of seating, plentiful standard safety and technology features along with several options for even more, and a well-matched V6 powerplant to get it all around. The Palisade is often compared to its cousin, the Kia Telluride, which shares several things with the Palisade. The Kia is a different option, though, with the Hyundai having a more luxurious bent towards its upscale nature. Where the Palisade really shines, though, is in its three rows of adult-usable seating. Unlike many in this segment, the third row is not cramped and only for kids or, worse, billed as being for adults without the kind of comfort to keep adults in the back from feeling cheated. The advanced safety features and huge warranty that comes with the 2020 Palisade are more features that will definitely get buyers' interest. The Palisade comes in three trim levels with one engine and transmission option. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. Total passenger capacity is seven or eight, depending on the second-row configuration.

When Ford unveiled the new Bronco series of sport utilities, a new Bronco Sport came with it. At first glance, this new Baby Bronco looked like a smaller version of the SUV. On closer inspection, it’s clear that the 2021 Bronco Sport is a completely different animal in almost every way.

Nissan unveiled a new logo for the company and brand. The logo aims to emphasize the company’s moving forward, green future, and reference its long heritage. The new logo launched with a video.

In this review, we look at a portable tire inflator for your car. It's compact, runs from a standard 12-volt plug in a car, and is capable of inflating car tires or tires on almost anything around your house. A really nice little unit with smart features.

The current-generation Mitsubishi Outlander was introduced in 2014 and a plug-in hybrid model (PHEV) arrived shortly thereafter. The PHEV combines the best of both worlds, offering the experience of all-electric driving with the assurance of longer range via a gasoline engine. We jumped behind the wheel to put it through its paces.

Until recent years, most people would not have put Jeep together with comfortable daily driving. Although the Wrangler is the most iconic of the Jeep models still available, it’s the Cherokee that makes up the bulk of the brand’s sales. There’s good reason for that and with this new-generation Cherokee, there are even more.

The 2020 Nissan Titan gets several improvements and changes as a mid-cycle refresh. This generation of the Titan was introduced in 2016 and made quite a splash before sinking to the bottom of truck sales in North America. But Nissan learned a few things from that.

Lamborghini has announced a limited-edition hypercar for track use. The Essenza SCV12 will have a production run of just 40 units, all powered by the most powerful V12 Lambo has ever produced.

High-end tuner Brabus has announced refinement and upgrade options for the Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class SUV in both its standard and AMG variants. A Brabified (yep, I just made that up) GLB can have a boosted engine, refined suspension, and more.

Nissan has done a lot for the mid-cycle refresh of the Titan pickup truck. The 2020 model year brings a lot of welcome changes for the truck, including a better drivetrain, more standard safety features, and some cabin changes for easier usage. There are some downsides to the 2020 Nissan Titan, but it’s now a much more competitive truck than it was before. The segment-leading warranty doesn’t hurt either.

Kia introduced the Seltos as a compact five-door crossover to fit between the smaller Soul and the larger Sportage. The new Seltos is much like the Soul in terms of size and appeal, but with a less polarizing, more contemporary design for more sophisticated buyers. Does it measure up to its strong competition?

In this review, our senior editor Aaron talks about the Mercedes-Benz GLC in its AMG format. The GLC43 is the entry level into Mercedes’ AMG branded sport utility line. Although small, it’s mighty, but there are a few things missing in this luxury ride. Here’s our overall assessment.

The problem with supercars, is there’s always a crowd. During the several days I had with the 2020 McLaren 570S, our only alone time as a couple was in my tight, tiny garage. Once that garage door opened and the car was backed into the driveway, it was only a matter of minutes before people started showing up. Just pulling into the fuel station to add go-juice to the car meant half an hour of photo taking and answering questions. It gets brutal.

In this review, we look at the 2020 VW Atlas Cross Sport in its AWD package. The Atlas Cross Sport is basically a full-sized Atlas without the third row and with a more coupe-like, sportier rear roofline and hatch. It’s still huge on the inside, has a very well-matched engine and transmission, and drives nicely with good fuel economy. If you’re looking for a large SUV but don’t want the fuel economy negatives of a body-on-frame or the “too small for me” size of some other two-row options on the market, the Atlas Cross Sport could be for you. Check it out.

In this full review, I look at the 2020 Chevrolet Blazer RS, a new package for the Blazer that adds some great pizzazz to the crossover. The Blazer remains a good not-quite-midsized two-row crossover for its looks and drivability. Here’s what I think.

Mazda introduced the all-new CX-30 as a new compact-small vehicle that fits between its CX-3 and CX-5. This isn’t our first time seeing the 2020 CX-30, as we got a first drive in the crossover earlier this year. Now we’ve spent a week with it as a daily driver, and can talk about the ups and downs of this new Mazda.

The current-generation Infiniti Q50 made its debut back in 2014, and the svelte sports sedan has seen its competitiveness wane as others updated their entry-level luxury sedan offerings. But Infiniti made some changes to the aging Q50 that should boost its appeal considerably, adding two things that were holding it back and getting rid of something else that frankly, no one will miss.

Jeep has introduced a new Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer concept as a full-sized, three-row SUV in the premium segment. The Grand Wagoneer shown has much in common with the Grand Cherokee, and likely shows what the Wagoneer name would mean to other Jeep models.

Jeep’s new 4xe sub-brand of electrified vehicles has added the iconic Wrangler to its growing list of plug-ins. The Wrangler 4xe is a plug-in hybrid version of the new-generation Wrangler, and has been designed from the ground-up to be electrified. It boasts up to 25 miles (40 km) of all-electric mobility and an estimated 50 MPGe (4.7 l/100km).

Ford brought back their iconic Ranger pickup truck after a long hiatus in 2019, and it was met with mixed reviews. The excitement over the return of the popular mid-size truck soon gave way to skepticism over its full capabilities when compared to the competition. And while the squinted eyes were warranted, the Ranger is a capable little truck that deserves some credit.

In this review, we get into the 2020 VW Jetta in its R-Line package. This is a great midsize sedan thanks to having a six-speed manual option (one of the only one left) and its solid price tag that hits below most competitors. The Jetta isn’t perfect, but it’s about as good as we can find in the relatively hum-drum midsize market for sedans today.

In this review, I get into the 2020 A220, the entry-level sedan from Mercedes-Benz. This is a great little car with a lot of goodness for the price tag. There are some downers and a few of the recommended add-ons do boost the price significantly, but they’re well worth it. Here’s my take.

The small, subcompact crossover segment is one that is seeing a lot of action this year. The Hyundai Venue is the latest entrant into this category, bringing with it the upscale feel that Hyundai is known for and a lot of technology for the price paid. It’s marketed as a crossover, but is really a hatchback car.

Ford has announced that the Ranger will receive a Tremor off-road package for the 2021 model year. The new Ranger Tremor will have significant upgrades for off-pavement driving, and takes its name from the much-anticipated Ford Tremor heavy-duty off-road pickup truck coming in the same timeframe.

Volkswagen has announced a new compact crossover-SUV called the Taos. The new utility will fit underneath the Tiguan in the VW lineup and will be sold only in the North American region.

In this video, Car News Cafe senior editor Aaron looks at the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53, a luxurious and muscular crossover-coupe. There are some downers to this one, but not very many. It’s an awesome drive and well worth the look.

For the 2020 model year, Toyota totally revamped the Highlander three-row crossover. As one of the make’s best sellers, the vehicle enters its fourth generation with a mixture of old and new in its design. Significantly, for the hybrid option, the Highlander sheds some cylinders and gains some MPGs as a result.

Kia has unveiled the 2021 Sorento crossover-SUV with four distinct powertrain options and five trim levels. The new lineup includes a turbocharged hybrid and an upcoming plug-in hybrid, with all 2021 Sorento models to include advanced safety and driver assistance features.

Based on a Ford F-53 EPIC chassis from Motiv Power Systems, the Magic Bus is a project of Winnebago and YouthPower365. The electric bus has been outfitted as a traveling learning center for pre-kindergarten children.

Truck prices seem to be going ever upward. Half-ton pickups are selling at around $50,000 on average with some models pushing into the $80,000 and higher range. Heavy-duty trucks can reach $100,000 in costs. Even smaller trucks often have a $35,000 to $50,000 price tag with a fully-loaded one going over $60,000 easily. Ford dealers are saying that a fully loaded 2021 F-150 will even be priced at nearly $80,000 vs the base price of just $30,635. So what gives? Why are trucks so expensive today and is it worth going all-in on a new "Limited" or are you better off buying a used truck that's coming off a lease instead?

Infiniti has unveiled its platinum-hued QX60 Monograph concept to give "tangible insight" into the design direction of the luxury automaker's midsized three-row QX60. Like the QX80 Monograph before, the design focuses on the exterior looks.

The CR-V was introduced in its fifth-generation in 2017 without a hybrid model on offer. It’s not clear whether Honda held that hybrid until now in order to build suspense or if the hold-back was in order to get the hybrid just right. We aren’t sure how successful it was on those counts, but can tell you whether we think this hybrid was worth the wait.

The GMC Sierra can be had with several engine options. The V6 is nice, the turbocharged four is pretty fine, and the two V8 engine options are sweet. But in my opinion, the best option is the Duramax 3.0-liter turbodiesel, as it offers lots of towing and fuel economy upgrades and, for those going off the pavement, low-end torque. In the plethora of Sierra models to choose from, the AT4 sits just underneath the Denali and has serious off-road upgrades as part of the package. The Sierra AT4 has a 2″ suspension lift, four-wheel drive as standard, a two-speed transfer case for more muscle when it’s needed, monotube shocks, beefier all-terrain tires, a terrain-select traction control system, and more. It’s the new off-road package GMC has been touting on several of its SUVs, but it’s definitely most prominent (and capable) on the Sierra.

Honda has redesigned the Ridgeline utility truck for the 2021 model year. Changes include an improved all-wheel drive system, a new front-end design, and interior improvements. Overall, Honda is pushing the off-pavement capabilities of the vehicle.

Buick introduced a new GX variant for the little Encore crossover for the 2020 model year. The new Encore GX adds features that make it much more appealing than the standard Encore, especially on the looks, drive quality, and technology fronts.

The 2020 Cadillac CT4 is a roughly midsized sedan that offers a sporty drive quality and a good feel. We think it could use some interior improvements, but it’s otherwise a beautifully done vehicle. Check it out.

Lotus has finally given the Evija hypercar its first public debut, at Goodwood SpeedWeek. The all-electric monster is taking part in the event's high-octane activities – including the Supercar Run – using electrons instead of fire.

After serving up shady photos and line drawing silhouettes, GM has finally unveiled the 2022 GMC Hummer EV. Billed by GM as "the world's first supertruck," the Hummer EV will be the first all-electric GMC vehicle and enter production in Michigan next year.

For anyone who hasn’t been paying attention, Dodge has become a performance brand ... in the old-school, loud pipes, "bigger is better" crate engine kinda way. As the last remaining throwback muscle car maker, the company keeps the American dream alive with its lineup of throaty V8s pushing past the 800 horsepower mark – such as the Challenger Hellcat Redeye.

The 2020 Honda Ridgeline is often overlooked as an option in America’s vast field of pickup truck offerings. Yet it’s one of the better ones in the midsized category for a lot of reasons. For 2020, Honda added a better transmission and more technology as standard.

I was fortunate enough to spend several days with the 2020 McLaren 570S Spider as my daily driver. It was extremely informative. The car itself, of course, is well beyond awesome. After all, it’s a mid-engine British sports car with a 3.8-liter turbocharged V8 that outputs a whopping 562 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a silky smooth dual-clutch automatic transmission, delivering a 0-60 time of just 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 204 mph. But the car’s performance is only part of the story.

Back in July, Jeep debuted a concept vehicle called the Wrangler Rubicon 392. Engineers at Fiat Chrysler had worked out how to stuff Dodge’s big 6.4-liter Hemi engine into the Wrangler while keeping the Jeep’s legendary off-road capabilities intact. The concept was a hit with fans and the press, plus we noted that it looked very production-ready. It was so much of a hit that Jeep has given it the go-ahead as a 2021 Wrangler model. Calling it the "4x4x470," Jeep will begin producing the Rubicon 392 in its Toledo plant for the 2021 model year. The nickname comes from the engine’s 470 horsepower (350.4 kW) and 470 pound feet (637 Nm) of torque.

Subaru has taken the wraps off its all-new BRZ sports car, continuing the purists’ fun box into a new generation. The BRZ has an all-new design, a new engine with a bit more muscle, and retains the rear-drive formula that has made the car doggedly popular.

Chevrolet introduced the revived Trailblazer name as a niche-filling subcompact crossover. Following along with the similar, but slightly larger Blazer, the Trailblazer fits somewhere in between the tiny Trax and the more family-sized Equinox. Where the Blazer has a more suburban feel about it, the Trailblazer, despite its name, actually has a more urban fit.

In this review, Aaron gets into the 2021 Toyota Corolla in its XSE package. There are some downers to this car, which doesn’t always seem to be keeping up with the times, and some good points for this car. Check out the new Corolla and what it was like to drive it daily for a week.

In the United States, vehicles are classified according to their total weight. To follow that, driver’s licensing also follows those same classifications to denote skill level. In commercial vehicle licensing, for example, there are generally three classes: A, B, and C. This varies in some states, of course, but most follow these general guidelines.
