2023 Kia Telluride X-Pro Goes Beyond Suburbia

Driven Car Reviews ·

2022/12/05

The wildly popular Telluride 3-row SUV has become Kia’s flagship model. 2023 models get a mid-cycle refresh with the expected nip and tuck on the nose and tail. But it’s two new models that will get extra track- X-Line and X-Pro. Both get a rugged look that’ll be the envy of the cul-de-sac plus a smidge more off-road capability. X-Pro goes the extra mile on the forest service road with all-terrain tires and upgraded cooling for better towing. Tom Voelk teams up with Edmunds’ Brian Wong to check out

Driven Car Reviews ·

2022/12/01

The Cadillac XT4 Sport is a compact crossover positioned against Audi Q3, BMW X1, and Mercedes GLB. All of them are entry level premium vehicles. The American competes better than you might imagine, it just depends on what you want out of your vehicle. Tom Voelk checks out a loaded AWD Sport model with self-parking (which works pretty darn well). There is that as-tested price of $58K though…

In fact, the all-new XRT model costs less than the average vehicle and comes standard with seating for 7, lots of advanced electronic safety tech and navigation-based smart cruise. Tom Voelk checks out the XRT model equipped with all-wheel drive and finds it to be a comfortable hauler that will handle kids, dogs and all the equipment that goes with them.

Driven Car Reviews ·

2022/11/14

The new Land Rover Defender 110 is rough, tough and leading man handsome. With the new 518 horsepower 5-liter supercharged V8 it adds power and a baritone voice that’s hard to resist. Tom Voelk drives a decked out 110 model because that’s the only way you can get buy one, fully loaded (it can be had in the 90 as well). Beware, it doesn’t come cheap, and it’s a thirsty machine.

2023 Genesis GV60 Performance Is EV Quick And Stuffed...

Driven Car Reviews ·

2022/11/07

The all-electric Genesis GV60 is the brand’s first electric vehicle built on a dedicated EV architecture. It has a completely different vibe than platform sharing Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. Quick, quiet, nimble and packed with tech features, the Performance will get you where you’re going in unique Genesis style (that not everyone’s going to love). Tom tests a Performance model in Uyuni White and a Torrent Navy interior that retails for $69,560… if you can even buy it where you live. It's only

Driven Car Reviews ·

2022/11/02

Americans (and the rest of the world) love the practicality of SUVs and crossovers. The 2023 Audi A6 Allroad has that plus the performance of a sport sedan since it’s a wagon. And since everyone and their mother is driving SUVs, the Allroad makes a style statement. Tom Voelk checks out a well-equipped Prestige model that goes for nearly $82K. Pro tip- the base Premium model has nearly all the “Audiness” you need.

2023 Genesis Electrified G80 Delivers Quiet Luxury

Driven Car Reviews ·

2022/11/01

It looks like any Genesis G80 (and that’s a good thing) but the Electrified G80 is, well, electrified. It’s quiet. It’s quick. The dual-motor drivetrain makes 365 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque shoots this luxo sedan to 60 miles-an-hour in under five seconds. It charges fast too with an 800V architecture. Tom Voelk checks out a fully loaded model (since it’s the only way the E G80 comes) and finds it to be as normal as an EV can be. Too bad it can only be bought in 8 states.

The regular Ford Bronco is an overachiever on and off the trails. The Bronco Raptor turns that ability up to 11. It’s got a whole new suspension, a twin turbocharged 3-liter V6 that makes 418 horsepower and the intimidating look that Raptors are famous for. The most powerful Bronco ever, it’s got what it takes to tackle anything you point it at. Just remember, it starts at $70,000… if you can find one. Tom Voelk takes it on and off road.

The 2022 Taycan 4 Cross Turismo Is Porsche’s Bargain EV

Driven Car Reviews ·

2022/10/03

Porsche is about performance and engineering excellence, its vehicles are not meant to be inexpensive. That said, the Taycan 4 Cross Turismo is the best EV value the automaker offers. Feature for feature, it actually costs less than the base rear-wheel drive Taycan sedan. And it’s much more practical too. Tom Voelk drives a lightly optioned Taycan 4 Cross Turismo dipped in optional Chalk paint and finds it to be an excellent build for those looking for a long-range all-wheel drive electric vehicle

Driven Car Reviews ·

2022/09/27

We haven’t seen the Crown in U.S. Toyota showrooms for 50 years. The 2023 model returns as a lifted sedan, because we’re all competing with SUVs for visibility now. Replacing the Avalon, all Crowns will be hybrids (there are two different versions including the turbocharged Hybrid Max with 340 horsepower) and all models get all-wheel drive traction. Tom Voelk travels to Austin, TX for a preview of this very unique approach on the four-door sedan.

The 2023 Honda HR-V Grows Up And Adds Refinement.

Driven Car Reviews ·

2022/08/26

Honda’s HR-V was always an affordable compact crossover. The second generation 2023 model is larger… on the outside. With a new independent rear suspension, it’s far more comfortable for road trips now. It trades the Fit architecture for a Civic-rich platform with better seats and best-in-class cabin. It does lose the rear Magic Seat and the wedgy design though. Tom Voelk travels to Stevenson, WA to check out the Sport and EX-L models, both with improved Real Time AWD.
