Awesome Rides

Subaru’s second all-electric SUV, the 2026 Trailseeker, amps up adventure with dual-motor AWD, 375 hp, and a 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds. With 8.3″ of ground clearance, 3,500 lb. towing, and more cargo space than the Solterra, it’s ready for light trail duty and weekend getaways. Its battery pack is good for 260 miles of range, and offers 150 kW fast charging.

Each year, members of Goodwood Road & Racing show off their cars on track at the famed British venue. This video showcases the best sounding engines and exhaust notes from their 82nd Members Meeting, including exotics like the GMA T.50S and Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3. But it’s the Capris and Minis buzzing about that won our hearts.

Jeep is taking their full-size SUV off-road with the 2025 Wagoneer Overland. Limited to 2,000 units, this seven-seater gets 32″ all-terrain tires, air suspension, a two-speed transfer case, skid plates, and a blacked-out roof and trim. Inside, you’ll find Nappa leather, a panoramic sunroof, and a touchscreen with Off-Road Pages+ and trail maps.

America’s off-road experts return to the 59th annual Easter Jeep Safari with seven custom-built vehicles that honor the brand’s heritage using modern 4-wheelers as their platform. From a military-inspired truck to a lightweight overlander, the line-up of bespoke 4x4s is as bold, colorful, and exciting as ever. We’d be thrilled to have that 2-door J6 Honcho.

Motorcycle and ATV maker Kawasaki is headed to Osaka, Japan’s Expo 2025 with a concept that looks 25 years into the future of mobility. The hydrogen-electric CORLEO is a quadruped robot that’s designed to carry one or two riders. Thanks to its articulated, motorized legs, it’s able to amble across challenging terrain for a fun, open-air experience. (Thanks, Rick!)

The V8 HEMI-powered Durango has been a staple of the Dodge brand for two decades. To celebrate this occasion, the performance brand created a special edition of the three-row SUV and loaded it with upgrades including Brass Monkey wheels, performance brakes, sharp graphical accents, and a tricked-out cabin with high-end finishes.

After six years in production, the Toyota GR Supra MkV is ending its run. The special Final Edition features upgrades to its braking, suspension, body stiffness, and aero. It rolls on 19″ matte black wheels with a carbon fiber rear spoiler and mirror caps. Shown here with the optional GT4 Style pack with red mirror caps, a GT4 side graphic, and matte paint.

Aston Martin’s V12-powered beast drops its top with the 2026 Vanquish Volante. It’s the world’s most potent front-engine convertible, with more than 823 hp and 737 lb-ft. of torque, a 214 mph top speed, and a 0-to-62 mph time of 3.4 seconds. Its motorized K-fold roof opens in 14 seconds, closes in 16 seconds, and can be operated at speeds up to 31 mph.

The compact TELO MT1 has seating for five, a 5-foot bed, and a folding midgate that lets it carry items up to 8 feet long. The funky little truck will be offered in 300 hp single-motor and 500 hp dual-motor 4WD configurations, with up to 350 mile range. The company is taking refundable pre-order reservations for just $152, a nod to the truck’s diminutive 152″ length.

Redesigned from top-to-bottom for 2025, the Nissan Kicks has a bold and dynamic new look. Its design is sharp outside and in, with more space and a modern new dashboard with the latest technology. While it’s not going to break any performance records, the new Kicks is proof positive that an entry-level vehicle can balance personality with practicality.

Developed with Alpine, the Renault 5 Turbo 3E is a modern take on classic 1980s rally cars. The rear-wheel drive “mini-supercar” has two in-wheel motors that produce 540 hp and gobs of instant torque. The petite 2-seater rolls on 20″ wheels, with performance aerodynamics, sport seats, and a roll bar. Just 1980 will be made, with deliveries starting in 2027.

We can always count on Mark Rober to teach us cool things. For this experiment, he wanted to know if the camera-based emergency braking system on his Tesla was as effective as a Luminar LiDAR-based system. The ultimate test was to see if the cars would stop before driving into a Wile E. Coyote-style fake road. He also used LiDAR to map Space Mountain.

What does it take to make a “monster truck” other than a ridiculously lifted chassis an disproportionately-large tires? MuYe shows off a truck that meets those criteria, despite being smaller than a golf cart. After his pal Kenny Paton built a vehicle based on the Ibishu Pigeon from BeamNG.drive, he took it one step further and converted it into a tiny monster truck.

Italian automaker Alfa Romeo’s compact crossover is a hoot to drive, and it looks sharp, too. Its plug-in hybrid version offers plenty of horsepower and torque, along with crisp handling, and sporty styling. The special Tonale Tributo Italiano comes loaded with premium equipment and painted in one of three classic Italian colors.

This video is from 2009, but it’s still a fascinating watch. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) smashed a 1959 Chevy Bel-Air into a new Chevy Malibu to see how much safety had improved over 50 years. It’s incredible how much better protected the occupants of the modern car are compared to cars built before NHTSA safety regulations.

Competition for the best luxury SUV keeps intensifying. The 2025 Lexus LX comes in five grades: Premium, F Sport Handling, Luxury, Ultra Luxury, and — new for this year — Overtrail.
