These Are the Best Cheap Cars We Drove in 2025

With average new car prices hovering at around $50,000 in the US, good, cheap cars are getting harder and harder to find. Many budget-friendly entry-level sedans have disappeared from automakers’ lineups entirely, while SUVs get larger—and more expensive—every year.

America's Last Volvo Wagon Is Dying As Buyers 'Overwhelmingly' Want SUVs

Volvo is just months away from becoming an all-SUV brand in the United States. It’s hard to believe it has come to this, but the sole remaining wagon is going the way of the dodo. Order books for the V60 Cross Country will close in late January, with U.S. production…

Whoops: Two Porsche 911 S/Ts Somehow Ended Up With the Same Badge

Building cars is hard, and sometimes even the best automakers make mistakes, including Porsche. Thankfully, the automaker was quick to rectify a flub in which two limited-edition 911 S/Ts featured dash plaques with the exact same serial number—1,724—and the mistake might have gone unnoticed if one owner hadn't attempted to…

Volvo's New Font Is Designed To Make Screens Safer. We Have a Better Idea

Volvo is big on safety. The Swedish automaker practically invented the traditional three-point seatbelt, and it’s been innovating in the space ever since.

Car prices skyrocketed during the pandemic, and they really haven’t come down. Consumers are still paying outlandish sums of money on average for both new and used vehicles, and that's not likely to change anytime soon.

The Gas Engine Refuses To Die

Rumors of the combustion engine’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Throughout the early 2020s, it seemed inevitable that internal combustion would head the way of the dodo, replaced almost entirely by EVs.

Hyundai Teases Its Biggest EV Yet, And We Think We Know What It Is

The European Union is poised to drop its much-debated sales ban on new cars with combustion engines.

Volkswagen Warns Small Gas Cars Are Doomed: 'The Future... Is Electric'

Automakers are breathing a sigh of relief now that the European Commission is proposing to reverse the 2035 sales ban on new vehicles with combustion engines.

The New Kia K4 Hatchback Is Crazy Cheap

Consumers have flocked to crossovers and SUVs, and automakers have chased the money. Most have killed off small sedans and their hatchback variants, including Kia. With the launch of the third-generation Forte, Kia discontinued the five-door version in America, but that’s changing for 2026 with the K4 Hatchback, which is…

The Manual Nissan Z Nismo Is Real—And It's Spectacular

When Nissan launched the new Z for 2023, it did so without the high-performance Nismo variant. The automaker rectified that a year later, but it made another misstep: that car only came with a nine-speed automatic. Now, more than three years after its launch, the Z will have a proper…

Need Space? These 2026 SUVs Have the Roomiest Third Rows

Compact, two-row SUVs may rule the non-truck sales roost here in America, but something tells me if a lot of those same buyers simply had bigger budgets, they’d be riding around in a three-row SUV instead. Aspirationally practical, the three-row (even a non-luxury one) has become somewhat of a suburban…

Finally, A Wireless Phone Charger That Doesn’t Suck

Porsche Resets a Carrera GT to Zero Miles, Literally

[Update] We asked Porsche whether the “zero-kilometer” phrasing was merely a metaphor or whether the Carrera GT was literally dialed back to zero kilometers.

The EU's New Small Electric Car Category Comes With 'Super Credits'

The European Union may be loosening fleet emissions targets to allow combustion engines beyond 2035, but it still firmly believes that “the future is electric.” While new regulations usually add headaches for automakers, there’s one bullet point in the EU’s “Automotive Package” they should universally welcome. It calls for the…

Jaguar Explains Its Radical Rebrand: The Old Strategy 'Didn't Work'

Jaguar’s future won’t look like its past, and that’s on purpose.
