One thing you’ll notice if you are out seeing Spider-Man: No Way Home is that Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 is Happy’s car in the movie. The retro-futuristic electric car feels right at home with Tony Stark’s tech, Doctor Strange’s magic, and all of the other craziness that comes with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But Ioniq 5 […]

Among the new crop of battery-electric crossovers in the market, the Volkswagen ID.4 is among the most family-friendly. However, wearing that badge on the hood comes with certain expectations, especially when it comes to the driving experience. The example we drove last year was a 201-hp single-motor ID.4.

Concept cars rarely make it to production unchanged so when the unthinkable happens, it’s a big deal. The 2021 Polestar 1 is the result of the Volvo Concept Coupe turning into the first vehicle for a new nameplate with Swedish roots. Built on a heavily modified carbon fiber-intensive version of the SPA architecture, this plug-in […]

I wanted to go into my first drive of the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo as objective as possible. It’s easy to say that a Porsche is brilliant and call it a day. But it’s different this time, because the Taycan Sport Turismo has to be both a good Porsche and a good EV. […]

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E may just be one of the most controversial vehicles to debut within the last two years. It takes a legendary nameplate and puts it on an electric compact crossover that you can get in RWD or AWD configurations.
