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.

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.

Pretty cool 4-door sedan here. Kia has a winner with this vehicle as they pack a lot of nice features and a solid drive while keeping the price at a decent, consumer-friendly level.

HUGE. BOLD. LUXURIOUS.
Can't think of better adjectives than that after I drove the massive Sierra 2500 truck.

I'd probably buy this car just based on its sexy name. Go on...say it out loud. Pretty cool, huh?
Along with its name, this compact luxury SUV is also pretty cool for a PHEV. That's right, Alfa Romeo has gone gas + electric with this model with a 1.3L Turbo engine along with a 90 kw electric motor that can get up to 33 electric miles.

I recently said the Buick Envista was my favorite vehicle to recommend this year after test driving several versions of it.
I like the design and curves on the outside and the roominess and tech features on the inside. Plus the price is right.
