Not enough superlatives to list here so you need to listen to my review. But the Escalade IQ is big, luxurious, large, tech-filled, monstrous, easy-to-drive, a behemoth, and quick.

Italian sexiness on the road. The Alfa Romeo Tonale is a sexy, sleek and fast car that turns head and gives the driver confidence and a smile.
I like the upgraded tech features that Stellantis added over the years.

An affordable compact SUV that is packed with tech features and good handling. It may not be as peppy as you want but the 1.2L turbo-charged engine still gets you through the urban and suburban jungle with ease.

I've always loved Nissan's big SUV, the Armada. But now that they've added a Pro 4-X badge on the 2025 model, the game has changed.
Easily one of the best and most comfy vehicles I have test driven this year and this now shoots to the top of my list when recommending large SUVs.

Just a few weeks ago I reviewed the Chevy Traverse, a solid 3-row SUV. Now it's time to talk about it's upscale sister vehicle, the GMC Acadia Denali.
The specs under the hood are exactly the same but the inside touches of ultra-luxury are the difference, along with the $9,000 price difference.

Loud, Proud, and Electrified. Not many vehicles can be described like that as most all EVs are nice and quiet. Not the new Dodge Charger.
Thanks to its Fratzonic Exhaust Chamber, it can emit a loud, roaring sound that emulates its gas-powered older brother. A fun and sexy car that is superfast (670 hp).

A mid-sized SUV with 3 rows at a price point I consider a good value. A bit more sleek and modern versus last year's model, the Traverse is one of my recommendations for an SUV.

There are lots of SUV s to choose from and if you want one that can handle itself off-road as well as it drives on city streets, take a look and a test drive of the new Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek edition.
3 rows of seating, a 3.5L V6 engine with best-in-class towing of up to 6,000 lbs, this vehicle handles well yet still takes on gravel and dirt roads with the best of them.

A promising addition to the growing electric SUV market, offering a balance of affordability, practicality, and modern technology.
A sleek design, decent driving range, and user-friendly tech (I like that), this EV should be a top choice for budget-conscious drivers looking to get into the EV market.

C'mon, some people out there is interested in a minivan, right? Well this thinks its an SUV with its bold look and tech-packed interior. It holds up to 8 people and it gets very good mileage due to its hybrid battery.

Just a few weeks I got to test out the Kia K4 GT-Line, the premium-level badge of this sporty car. The EX is just as good, maybe without a few of the GT-Line upgrades, but still a car that should be considered if you want something sporty and very affordable.

This compact (very compact SUV) has a refreshed, bolder look than previous models. Still sleek and I like the updated cabin including the larger 12.3" infotainment touchscreen.
Good gas mileage though not a lot of speed with a non-turbo 2L, 4-cylinder engine.

A nicely-priced, sleek, tech-filled compact SUV.
