    Speeders and bad guys beware: There's a new cop car in town. On Friday, the covers came off the 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. Based on the 2020 Ford Explorer, which will make its formal debut next Wednesday, the Police Interceptor brings new technology and better fuel economy to the men and women in blue. Police forces will have three powertrain options from which to choose. Base Interceptor Utilities are powered by a 3.3-liter hybrid powertrain that Ford says provides 41 percent better fuel economy than the current model equipped with the 3.7-liter V-6.

    2019 Honda Passport crossover SUV bows at 2018 LA auto show

    The 2019 Honda Passport unveiled Tuesday in Los Angeles shares only its outdoorsy attitude with the last Honda to bare the Passport nameplate. The 2019 Passport's Pilot-sourced underpinnings will be familiar when it goes on sale in early 2019. However, the Passport is six inches shorter than the...

  • 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque
    2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque first look: Sleek has a sequel

    When it first arrived in 2012, the Range Rover Evoque was quickly derided by pearl-clutching off-road purists who were still debating the merits of air conditioning, power windows, and fuel-injected engines. The sleek, small, luxury SUV grated those folks because the Evoque didn't have a hulking...

    2019 Ford Edge ST first drive review: Down payment on the future

    Ford’s ST badge hails from Europe, where it’s adorned a couple of decades’ worth of Cougars, Pumas, Mondeos, Focuses and Fiestas. In the U.S. we’ve danced with the Focus ST and Fiesta ST—but as of next year, those Ford cars won’t be sold anymore, as the company...

    Lexus' new entry-level crossover has a price. The Japanese luxury brand announced Wednesday the 2019 UX crossover will start at $33,025, which includes a $1,025 destination fee.

Stepping up to the UX250h hybrid will cost $35,025, which also adds all-wheel drive. The UX250h is actually the more powerful of the two models even though it will return better fuel economy.

    2019 Jaguar I-Pace electric crossover (brief) first drive review: 4:34 to the future

    In the four minutes and 34 seconds that I get behind the wheel of the 2019 Jaguar I-Pace, I could listen to “Moby Dick” (Zeppelin, not Melville), make a bag of popcorn, or charge the electric Jag for about 20 miles. Ideally, I’d like to do all three. But I get four minutes and 34...

    Better late than never. Cadillac is finally diving into the compact premium crossover game with the 2019 XT4, an XT5 that’s been given the Honey I Shrunk The Kids treatment. Blessed with clean, stylish lines, the XT4 is a sharp looking crossover that should stand out from the pack. The wide grille, sharp headlights, and wreathless Cadillac shield give it a distinctive face, while the tail’s handsome LED taillights look fantastic, especially in the Sport trim’s clear treatment.

    Jaguar interested in building I-Pace SVR

    The future may hold another performance-oriented Jaguar SVR model, but rather than one based on a raucous supercharged internal-combustion engine, the brand is reportedly considering an I-Pace SVR, based on its first purely electric SUV.

  • 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio

    Alfa Romeo finally has what Americans supposedly desire: a premium, compact crossover SUV. These hatchbacks on stilts provide consumers the practicality wagons offered for years with the lifted stance and available all-wheel drive they think they need. When winter weather turns nasty, crossover SUVs show their true colors, for better and worse. In the case of Alfa Romeo’s Stelvio, the Q4 all-wheel-drive system, ground clearance, and all-season tires were all surprisingly capable when the fluffy, cold, white stuff started flying. Here are 6 things learned from tackling snow in the 2018...

    2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio first drive review: ultimate performance, incomplete luxury
