Reviews SummaryThe Cadillac Escalade isn't just a luxury family hauler. It's one of the most high-tech SUVs you can buy today. In its Escalade ESV format, the model offers buyers more cargo room but keeps passenger space nearly the same. Though it's longer and heavier, the Escalade ESV has a secret: it's actually better to drive than its little brother. | |
Reviews SummaryKia redesigned the popular Sorento last model year and for 2022 the midsize, three-row crossover SUV gets a few changes. For starters, the appealing X-Line package is now available with S and EX trim in addition to the SX Prestige. All 2022 Kia Sorento models except for the base LX trim now have a standard 10.25-inch infotainment system with navigation and UVO connected services. Additionally, the top-of-the-line SX Prestige adds a more comfortable driver’s seat and heated second-row captain’s chairs as standard equipment. The big news, however, pertains to a new all-wheel-drive option for the efficient Sorento Hybrid and the debut of the Sorento Plug-in Hybrid, which can travel 32 miles on electricity before switching to gas-electric hybrid propulsion and returning 34 mpg in combined driving. | |
