The 2018 Ram ProMaster is a full-size commercial van ready to deliver mail, stop by to fix your plumbing, or that can be a blank slate ready to be converted into a recreational vehicle. It’s not pretty, but the ProMaster gets the job done well and boasts a remarkably tight turning radius. It rates a 4.0 out of 10 on our scale, a reflection...View the full article

The 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan is a popular van that trades perhaps more on its household name than its virtues. It’s a dated van that has been superseded by the far more modern Chrysler Pacifica, but the Dodge may be worth considering solely on the basis of its high-value pricing. We’re willing to look beyond the initial purchase price...View the full article

The 2018 Dodge Journey is behind the times, but this three-row crossover with available all-wheel drive does offer a lot of value for the money.

The 2018 Dodge Charger has seen the future, and it’s retro. While other four-door, full-size and mid-size sedans have leaned forward since the 2005 model year, the Charger remains the best kind of throwback, very true to its old-school form. Think about it: There have been three generations of the Toyota Camry in the time the Charger’s...View the full article

The 2018 Dodge Durango is the anti-minivan. It’s a three-row crossover SUV that trades as much on its machismo as it does on its actual passenger-hauling abilities. It’s flawed and dated, yet great to drive. We’ve rated it at 6.5 out of 10. (Read more about how we rate cars.) This year, it’s even more muscular thanks to the...View the full article

It’s 2018, and it’s still here. The Chrysler 300 has become a still-living legend. Back for its 14th model cycle, the bruising 4-door reminds us why we still like big rear-drive sedans, why big V-8 power is no mortal sin. It gives us hope that we too can outlive our difficult middle years and become cool once again. For 2018, the 300...View the full article

It is offered in Touring Plus, Touring L, and...View the full article

There is big value in small sedans for new car shoppers. Few cars pack as many features with as much space, for such a low price. Now the 2019 Kia Forte adds a whole lot of style. The Forte raided the closet of its bigger brother Stinger for its looks. The Forte’s windshield has been pushed back nearly half a foot for a long-hood look. The...View the full article

Just days after it lowered pricing on its compact crossover, Volkswagen is doing the opposite for its largest and most expensive crossover. The 2018 VW Atlas sees a modest $250 price increase across the board. That stands in marked contrast to the price-slashing the automaker announced for it smaller Tiguan barely a week ago. The Tiguan's base...View the full article

The 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport seems to do it all. The luxury SUV is opulent, comfortable, good looking, tremendously capable, and remarkably quick—almost unbelievably quick in top models. All things that our rating system prioritizes, which is how we arrive at a very high 8.0 out of 10 for the Range Rover Sport. (Read more about how...View the full article

2019 Jeep Cherokee goes mainstream, turbocharged The 2019 Jeep Cherokee addresses its controversial design head on with an updated fascia and rear end that bring it more in line with its siblings, both big and small.
