At this point, year-by-year changes to electric vehicles are starting to follow a familiar template. You squeeze a bit more power out of the electric motors, you juice up the battery pack, you improve the charging system, and boom—you've got a more appealing product. Toyota is following this script with the 2026 bZ, a compact electric SUV that replaces the previous bZ4X, becoming a far more … [Read more...]

About two years ago, Volvo announced the EX30, a compact electric crossover that headlined with an audacious base price around $35,000. A single-motor version would anchor the low end of the lineup and entice younger buyers into the Volvo fold, while a performance-oriented dual-motor version would pad profit margins with a much higher sticker price. That was the plan back in 2023, but as you may … [Read more...]

Timing may not be everything when it comes to buying a new car, but it's definitely an important factor. While the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for a model generally stays constant over a model year, the actual price you pay at a dealer can vary. Spoiler alert: There is no perfect time to buy a car, no one-size-fits-all magic answer—it depends on a lot of factors, like which car … [Read more...]

From the May/June 2025 issue of Car and Driver.In the late '80s, David E. Davis Jr. and I drove a Range Rover through the Anza-Borrego Desert, hoping Anza might be the name of a Spanish beauty.

But Davis adored all … [Read more...]
