Reviews SummaryOnce ridiculed and now increasing in popularity at an alarming rate, the SUV coupe, a vehicle type originated by BMW and copied by others to varying degrees of success, is taking over the gated suburban enclaves of America. From Acura (remember the ZDX?) to Volvo (C40 Recharge coming right up), automakers are trying the concept on for size, and it doesn’t always fit. However, the 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe, a low-roofed version of the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV, is one recipe that works. | |
Reviews SummaryBeing fuel-efficient and stylish are just two of the 2021 Kia Sorento Hybrid’s positive attributes. The fresh three-row offering from Kia has something its three-row Telluride doesn’t: a hybrid option. The Sorento Hybrid is more capable than before, but some design decisions have left us questioning if it’s better to just go with the tried and true Toyota Highlander Hybrid instead. | |
