When Honda unveiled the 2025 Civic Hybrid a few months ago, it announced that it would have more torque than the Civic Si, so it made us wonder what Honda had planned for the Civic Si. Honda has now unveiled the updates to the 2025 Honda Civic Si, which gets a facelift and improved tech features, but sadly not any extra power under the hood. The styling updates are small with a more aggressive front fascia, new grille, revised taillights, and matte black V-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels. It’s also now available in Urban Gray Pearl, which is the same color that’s offered on the Accord and CR-V. In ..read more

Cadillac has unveiled the Cadillac Sollei Concept – a tantalizing preview of what future Cadillac buyers may be able to commission from the brand’s new custom coachbuilding division. The front of the Cadillac Sollei Concept is nearly identical to that of Celestiq, upon which it’s based, with a sweeping “black crystal” grille, embedded LED lighting, and sleek lighting units. Moving back, the Cadillac Sollei Concept features a billet aluminum windshield frame with a unique “Aurora” tint, which is also used on other parts of the vehicle. Being a two-door car, the Cadillac Sollei Concept features ..read more

We kinda thought Honda would be ready to release an all-new Odyssey minivan by now, but instead Honda has unveiled a slightly refreshed version for the 2025 model year. The 2025 Odyssey has received slightly restyled front and rear fascias and improved tech features, but is it enough to keep it competitive with all its newer competitors, like the Toyota Sienna and Kia Carnival? On the outside the 2025 Honda Odyssey includes a sportier grille, and reshaped front and rear fascias. The new front fascia looks a bit more aggressive with larger black fog lights and the redesigned rear bumper integr ..read more

Porsche has unveiled the 2025 Porsche Panamera GTS and Turbo S E-Hybrid, both performance-oriented variants of the Panamera line, though each with their own unique approach. The 2025 Porsche Panamera GTS will focus on “driver engagement and agility.” It will do so with a non-electrified twin-turbo 4.0-lt V8 producing 493 hp, a 20 hp increase over the previous GTS (Porsche has yet to release torque figures for this model). This new powertrain will allow the new GTS to make the 0-60 run in 3.6 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than the previous GTS, and reach an 188 mph top speed. The 2025 Porsche P ..read more

Cadillac has revealed the 2025 Cadillac Escalade, a mid-cycle facelift that brings new styling, new tech, and a massively overhauled interior. Heading into the 2025 model year, the Escalade line will find itself split between gasoline and electric-powered variants. This update to the gas-powered version is meant to bring its design and technology more in line with that of the upcoming 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ EV. The exterior of the 2025 Cadillac Escalade sees fairly minor revisions focused on bringing it more in line with modern Cadillac designs like the Lyriq and Celestiq. To this end, Cad ..read more

It’s true that many car buyers are not ready to make the transition to fully electric vehicles, which means that hybrid and even plug-in hybrid models are more desirable. Lexus recently introduced its first EV, the RZ, but due to its limited range, it’s not entirely appealing. Fortunately Lexus offers another midsize SUV that’s available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ Plug-in Hybrid is a notable addition to the RX lineup, since it takes everything you already love about the RX and then adds a plug-in hybrid system that allows for electric only driving for short dista ..read more

Porsche has unveiled an expanded lineup for their upcoming 2025 Porsche Macan EV range, adding both an entry-level RWD version as well as a more powerful 4S version. These will bookend the already-announced Macan 4 variant on either side in terms of hierarchy. The new entry-level RWD variant will be powered by a single rear-mounted electric motor making 335 hp in standard drive mode, capable of upping that figure to 355 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque in overboost mode.

Competing with heavyweights like the BMW X5, Audi Q7, and Jeep Grand Cherokee L, the 2024 Volvo XC90 Recharge impresses with its timeless styling, impressive electric-only range, and ample space for the family and a comfortable interior.

The XC90 lineup features three trim levels: Core, Plus, and Ultimate. Al ..read more
