The Best SUVs Of 2022

Mazda has revealed the new 2024 CX-90, its latest three-row SUV, promising an uptick in driving engagement along with practicality and a little electrification too. It's the continued progression of Mazda's CX series, as the automaker supplants its existing SUVs and crossovers with more purposeful — and upmarket-feeling — alternatives. We've seen that done to good effect with the CX-30 and the CX-50, and now it's the turn of the CX-9 three-row SUV to get overshadowed too.

The Honda CR-V is so ubiquitous, it's easy to forget how much it had to do to win that segment dominance.

As we've seen before, the message is simplicity: no plugging in, no worrying about recharging. Just reap the economy and practicality benefits as they work away in the background.

The debate over electric vehicles (EV) versus internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles is a hot topic at the moment and shall continue to be contested for the foreseeable future. The internal combustion engine has roots in the Victorian period when the industrial revolution had engineers and scientists working at a fever pitch to mobilize society. Likewise, the electric vehicle, which many may believe is a modern concept, also has roots in the industrial revolution as the widespread development of electricity and battery technology was equally integral to industrialization. In the early days of the 20th century, electric cars were a common sight on the streets of many cities, although gasoline engines would eclipse them as they became more reliable and user-friendly.

Key fobs are a generally pretty mundane and overlooked piece of automotive paraphernalia. A few decades ago, drivers didn't have a way to remotely unlock their cars, and now it's taken for granted.

Subaru is recalling a few thousand units of its 2022 WRX, though owners don't need to worry, as the issue has little to do with the vehicle itself.

Classic muscle cars symbolize an era of both motoring and American history when precision engineering, handling, and fuel efficiency weren't considerations. Instead, it was all about raw engine power and a profile to match — the kind of appearance that immediately makes a person's adrenal glands go into overdrive. But there's even more to it than that.
