Top 10 New Hybrids

The Niro competes with other small SUVs and crossover vehicles such as the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. The Niro won't break the bank, while still offering far better mileage than any of its competitors. Like all Kia's, the Niro comes standard with all the basics one would expect from a compact car and at the other end of the spectrum, the Niro is positively loaded with the kind of items that were only sold in luxury cars a few years ago.

The Camry needs no introduction when it comes to looking for value in the mid-sized sedan segment. The Camry realistically provides all the transportation needs the average American family would ever need. The Camry is not a compact car, but it does feature a large and extremely well-thought-out interior. Storage is abundant as well. However, the Camry still isn't as large as some of the bigger luxury cars out there, meaning it won't be a hassle to park and it doesn't get the kind of poor...

The Toyota Highlander is a three-row, mid-sized crossover SUV competing with vehicles such as the Honda Pilot, the Nissan Pathfinder and the Mazda CX-9. The Toyota Highlander is slightly more expensive than many of its rivals, but in return it offers a bit more comfort and the kind of legendary reliability that Toyota built its reputation on. The Highlander also offers a combination of both power and fuel economy that its rivals can't match, with more horsepower than the Honda, Nissan or...

The Chevrolet Bolt EV is General Motors' entry into the burgeoning electric car segment. The competition is heating up to deliver an affordable electric-powered car with the range and practicality needed for mainstream acceptance and GM has delivered. The 2022 Bolt EV features a 65-KWh battery pack that accomplishes a 259-mile range on a single charge, 0-60 mph performance that rivals conventional gas engines and a robust standard feature set.

The Hyundai make its debut in the small crossover category. The IONIQ 5 competes against the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volkswagen ID.4 and the Kia EV6. The IONIQ 5 is just the first of the Hyundai series of exclusively electric vehicles. They'll all be built on the same ingenious Electric Global Modular Platform (e-GMP). Not only is it flexible enough to be used for all kinds of electric vehicles, it's engineered with cutting-edge battery technology.

The RAV4 aims to be the "Goldilocks" of crossovers; its big enough that it doesn't simply feel like a lifted compact car, but also small enough that its size never really gets in the way during everyday driving. It is short enough that it makes perfect sense in the city, but it isn't in any way simply pretending to be an SUV, when the need for off roading arises. Toyota has also made a serious push for fuel economy with this generation, by introducing a new plug-in hybrid model that joins the...

Ford continues to be the king of the full-size pickup truck segment. The F-150 offers just about everything a buyer could want from a work truck to a off-roader and even a luxury vehicle. The F-150 competes with the Ram, the Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra 1500, among others, in the full-sized truck category. A smaller, more fuel efficient EcoBoost engine is also available, which should further improve fuel economy while providing the same kind of horsepower that would normally be...

The Hyundai Sonata has always been a good value, costing less than cars like the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord. However, Hyundai wanted to give buyers more than just an inexpensive alternative to those cars for 2023, it wanted to give buyers something they could be proud to own; something with competitive tech features, stand out styling and an extra dose of comfort. The Sonata achieves this. Not only does it have a claimed best in class front seat head and leg room, it also gets...

Honda has further evolved its successful formula for the compact CR-V by wrapping it in an even more attractive skin and adding a 1.5L turbocharged engine that is both fuel efficient and powerful. Increased ground clearance, best-in-class interior space and rear legroom, and available all-wheel drive make the CR-V one of the most versatile machines in the segment.

The Honda Accord is a mid-sized sedan, competing in a crowded segment against the Toyota Camry, the best-selling car in America for the past 15 years. But the Accord is no second-best, but rather it provides savvy buyers with a more interesting alternative in a category populated with uninspiring sedan options. The Accord offers everything a buyer would expect of a mid-sized car, including excellent ergonomics, a roomy interior and all the storage space a family might need. However, it...
