The Jeep Wrangler is not a model that changes radically from one version or generation to another, at least when talking about the production model. That said, Jeep likes to periodically develop concepts that can sometimes be quite eccentric, for example the Jeep Quicksand Concept. Developed as part of the 51st edition of the Easter Jeep Safari, the Quicksand is part of a batch of five concepts specially developed for the event by Jeep. Every ...

I heard this saying just recently and I’ve no idea if it’s an actual thing but once I had an image in my mind, I quickly drew a parallel with the RAV4 Hybrid. For starters, the expression reads worse than it is so, well; don’t read into it too much. Our beloved (?) Queen is a person of some importance, much like the RAV4. Toyota was among the first OEMs to venture into the small ...

I’m not exactly sure what’s going with Toyota transmissions these days but as I write these lines, I’m already on my next product from the Japanese giant and it’s major flaw is located between the engine and drive wheels. And it’s the same with this Highlander. Toyota’s 3-row large midsize CUV has been a safe bet since it hit the ground rolling just over 15 years ago and continues to be just that today. The ...

The Chevrolet Equinox, Chevy’s compact SUV, has remained largely unchanged since it was redesigned at the beginning of this decade. That’s an eternity in today’s automotive industry where buyers are always looking for the newest features and technologies. Chevrolet clearly waited too long before offering us a new product, but the good news is that consumers now get plenty of features, and the latest-generation Equinox is certainly competitive. Apart from the structural, aesthetic and conceptual ...

The 2018 Toyota Sienna is not a completely new generation of the popular Toyota minivan, but it will nevertheless showcase several new features when it is unveiled at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks. To begin with, the new 2018 Sienna is the latest Toyota model to be equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense P safety package that will be part of the minivan’s standard equipment list. The latter includes pedestrian detection ...

Hyundai strongly believes in the potential of hydrogen, and the manufacturer has demonstrated that fact once again by introducing the FE Fuel Cell concept at the Geneva International Motor Show. The Hyundai FE Fuel Cell is able to travel nearly 800 kilometers before having to fill its hydrogen tank. According to the Korean manufacturer, the FE Fuel Cell concept will be the basis for the development of a hydrogen-powered sport utility vehicle that will be ...

Mazda is far from that. Well, maybe not entirely sane; let’s just say they like taking risks. The MX-5 Miata was a calculated risk nearly 30 years ago and look, it has become the best-selling roadster of all time. Granted, the CX-9 will not garner the same level of praise but what it has to offer is worth a few minutes of your time. The biggest piece of news related to the new CX-9 is ...

The CX-3 is Mazda’s small crossover. It is a sub-compact vehicle and as such, makes no promise to carry your three kids and all their hockey equipment to practice at 4:30am on a Saturday morning. I wouldn’t promise that either. What the CX-3 does is deliver a right-sized cabin for the average equally compact family looking to get around in style all the while enjoying the driving experience and not stopping at every petrol station ...

The short of the answer goes like this: I’ve travelled to Texas twice in the last three months and I spotted countless 1st and 2nd generation Ridgelines. So yes, yes you can if we are to use the Lone Star state as a barometer for all things Truck. The long depends on weight, as it the girth of items you need to carry or tow. The revised 3.5-litre V6’s got more power than previous but ...

Acura has long struggled with its identity over the last 15 years. In fact, the second half of the 2000s were a complete mess save for one vehicle: the MDX. Between you and I, if the MDX had not been as good as it was, and is, I don’t think we’d still have an Acura brand network to speak of. I won’t breakdown what was wrong with all the other products during that period of ...
