Reviews SummaryThe 2023 Mazda CX-5 is living on borrowed time. The current-generation model has been on sale since 2017, and while it still seems fresh as a daisy, seven years is a long time in the automotive world. In addition, aside from a new Rhodium White premium paint option, Mazda makes no other changes to the 2023 CX-5. Furthermore, the CX-5 now lives side-by-side with the Mazda CX-50, and when you consider the existence of the CX-30, the upcoming CX-90, and the rumored CX-70, well, it certainly doesn’t seem as though the CX-5 will remain in Mazda’s lineup for much longer. | |
Reviews SummaryPlug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are perfect transition models for people who want to try an electric car but are not ready to completely give up the convenience of a gasoline engine. Enter the 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime, a PHEV with an estimated 42 miles of electric range and a total estimate of almost 600 miles of travel between stops for electricity or gasoline. The RAV4 Prime arrived for the 2021 model year and there are no major changes for 2022. | |
