2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Gets Fresh Styling, Enhanced Tech, and a Truly Upscale Denali

CarsCars

BY ERIC STAFFORD | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars From interior options that finally feel luxurious to bigger screens to Super Cruise hands-free driving, the half-ton Sierra is much improved. The 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 gets a makeover, with the most meaningful updates happening inside. GMC makes the Sierra's interiors a lot nicer thanks to bigger digital displays and richer materials, particularly on upper trims. The new Sierra 1500 will go sale early next year and range in price from around $32,000 to over $80,000. We can only imagine the look on our grandpappy's face if he peeped inside some of today's fanciest…

Cars2023MitsubishiOutlanderPHEV, Cars

BY JOEY CAPPARELLA | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars The PHEV version of the crossover will go on sale in the second half of 2022, and more info is coming October 28.

We know it will offer all-wheel drive and a third row seat, but more details will be released October 28. The Mitsubishi Outlander looks quite different from the Nissan Rogue it's based on, and the Mitsu will also differentiate itself from the Nissan by…

Tested: 2022 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Channels Greatness

Cars2022CadillacCT4-V-Blackwing, Cars

BY DAVID BEARD | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars Cadillac's junior Blackwing sedan will go down as one the best driver's cars of all time. Stand around our cluttered, oil-soaked office garage and the conversation will eventually turn to tales of BMW's E90 M3. Sold from 2008 to 2012, the M car's legend continues to grow because subsequent M3s couldn't quite re-create the E90's magic blend of size, power, handling, and feel. In a turn of events unthinkable 20 years ago, Cadillac took up the mantle with the ATS-V and now the CT4-V Blackwing. The smaller of the two Blackwings, the CT4-V drives, handles,…

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Turns Up the Fun

Cars2021FordMach-E-GT, Cars

BY MIKE SUTTON | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars With 480 horsepower and sharper handling, Ford's new performance-oriented electric SUV brings some of the entertainment we expect from a Mustang. Look past the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E's tenuous connection to the brand's traditional pony cars and you'll find a very compelling electric vehicle—one good enough that it earned Car and Driver's first ever EV of the Year award. But the Mustang badge that it wears conjures images of powerful, speed-addled thrills. The Mach-E simply struggles to deliver those in its lower states of tune, which top out at a mere 346 horsepower. For the…

Airless tires are finally coming in 2024: Here’s why you’ll want a set

CarsAirlessTires, Cars

Brian Cooley | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars Immunity to flats is just the beginning for a tire that could change your driving life. We have phones that can survive being immersed, watches you can drag over a cheese grater and screens you can fold without breaking, but a common nail can strand your car on the side of the road. Tires need to lose their air, but not that way. Michelin is one of several tiremakers that have been developing airless tires but they seemed as improbable as GM's early vision of self-driving cars. Now, however, the two companies are putting a pin…

Tested: 2022 Lexus NX350 Goes for the Middle Ground

Cars2022LexusNX350, Cars

BY DEREK POWELL | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars A punchy turbo engine and much-improved multimedia tech highlight this substantial redesign. Performance SUVs continue to proliferate, but it's unlikely Lexus will ever join in the revelry. Its only model within spitting distance is the NX, the smaller and spunkier sibling to the cushy RX. Since the NX debut in 2015, sharing a platform with the Toyota RAV4 and having the brand's first turbocharged engine, it has been a hit—trailing only the RX in sales. For 2022, the second-generation NX continues this successful formula. The new design is evolutionary, and the sheetmetal again…

New Car Buying Advice: Always Get the Hitch

CarsCars, TowingHitch

BY EZRA DYER | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars A receiver hitch opens up a lot of possibilities, even if you never tow a thing. A few weeks ago, my sister-in-law was looking to buy a Ford Bronco Sport. "Tell me which things it needs to have," she said. I told her to find one with adaptive cruise control. The Big Bend package (heated front seats, sunroof, wireless charging) would be nice. But above all else, get the tow package. Not because the Bronco Sport can tow all that much—it's rated at 2000 pounds, regardless of engine—but because a tow package…

2022 BMW iX xDrive50: Novelty with Substance

Cars2022BMWiXxDrive50, Cars

BY DAVE VANDERWERP | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars Unconventional features and 300-plus miles of range converge in BMW's new iX electric SUV. When BMW formed its i division a decade ago, the prevailing thinking at most of the world's automakers was to build electric based on inexpensive models. Instead, BMW birthed the i3. Not only did it look unlike any other BMW before it (okay, maybe the Isetta), but it also featured a carbon-fiber-intensive structure, hemp-based fabrics inside, narrow tires, and a two-cylinder scooter engine as a range extender. How's that for not following the herd? BMW wants half its global sales…

The Michigan State Police put Ford's Mustang Mach-E through a battery of tests to evaluate everything from its vehicle dynamics to its ergonomics.
