Reviews Summary

Fortunately, Nissan appears to be happy with it: The automaker’s midsize truck gets just a few minor tweaks, mostly in the form of additional standard features, in the second year of its current iteration. We spent a day putting the 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X through its paces on- and off-road.

Reviews Summary

The Hyundai Santa Cruz has been a favorite since its debut in 2021 for the 2022 model year. And what’s not to love? It’s got plenty of utility for its size, it sports a peppy powertrain, and it’s all wrapped up in a quirky package. There are a few new additions for 2024, but by and large this is the same Santa Cruz we’ve come to know and love.
