Reviews SummaryThis compact crossover SUV comes with gas, turbocharged gas, or hybrid powertrains, each paired with standard all-wheel drive (AWD) and each with Mazda's trademark spirited handling. The CX-50 slots into Mazda’s lineup between the CX-30 and the redesigned CX-5, and sees only minor changes for the 2026 model year. Verdict: Smaller inside than many rivals, the Mazda CX-50 trades outright utility for style, sophistication, and substance. It's safe and fun to drive, but has a stiff ride, firm seats, a thirsty turbo engine, and dissatisfying tech. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron is a new addition to the German luxury brand’s electric vehicle and SUV lineups. It’s a two-row, five-seat midsize model that slots between the Q4 e-tron and Audi Q8 e-tron SUVs, giving Audi a more direct rival to the Acura ZDX, Cadillac Lyriq, and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV—although it also dabbles in Tesla Model Y and Porsche Macan EV territory. Verdict: Compared to its rivals, the Q6 e-tron is a better choice for buyers who want an EV that still feels like a normal SUV. | |
