All-New 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor: Hot Fun for the...

America on the Road ·

2023/05/13

Ford has just pulled the wraps off the all-new 2024 Ford Ranger and Ford Ranger Raptor, and we’ll have an exclusive interview with the truck’s marketing manager, Gretchen Sauer. The all-new Ranger is a serious step up from the previous edition, which had an overseas focus and was rushed into the U.S. market as midsize pickup truck sales rebounded in the past several years. The first-ever Ford Ranger Raptor brings 405 horsepower to the party via its 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6. Coupled to an advanced

2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata — Can an EV Ever Be This Much Fun?

America on the Road ·

2023/05/06

With the 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata, driving is the thing. And as we roadtested the Miata this week, it struck us that all the fun to be had from driving a Miata might be lost in the inexorable shift from gasoline-fueled cars to EVs. The whole prospect made us sad because the current Miata is such a hoot to drive. With its 181-horsepower four-cylinder engine and the six-speed manual transmission, the little sports car is just about the perfect way to have fun behind the wheel. No, we admit it isn’t

2023/04/29

Car buyers are now being confronted with an interesting — and hard-to-answer — question: do I spend my money on an all-new battery-electric or do I spend it on a larger, more accommodating conventionally powered vehicle? This week’s two road test vehicles present just that conundrum. Co-host Chris Teague was at the wheel of the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5, one of the newest-generation of battery-electric-powered crossovers. Host Jack Nerad spent the same week piloting the 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The

America on the Road ·

2023/04/22

The Corolla Cross Hybrid is a low-priced, high-value crossover SUV, a vehicle type American consumers just can't seem to get enough of. In little more than a year on the market, it has already become a giant hit. The addition of a hybrid-powered version tops the model line with a model that isn’t just efficient — it’s engaging. More horsepower and a sport-tuned suspension will do that. The 2023 Corolla Cross Hybrid delivers better acceleration than the conventional Corolla Cross, and Toyota

Cross Country Road Test: 2023 Lincoln Corsair Plug-in...

2023/04/15

The 2023 Lincoln Corsair PHEV is a full-featured 5-passenger luxury crossover filled with high-tech features like Lincoln BlueCruise 1.2 and other niceties. As we found in our 800-mile trek in the heavily revised vehicle, it is an impressive traveling companion for cross-country cruising. The luxury car business has evolved into the luxury crossover business. Lincoln isn’t alone in switching to follow the desires of luxury customers, and it continues to seek ways to differentiate its SUVs from

Some very important vehicles are being introduced at the New York Auto Show, which is going on right now, and we’ll have all the highlights for you in this episode of America on the Road. Perhaps the most important of the new production models is the all-electric 2024 Kia EV9 SUV. The first three-row electric vehicle SUV from Kia, the EV9 is the flagship of the automaker’s global Plan S strategy and one of the first mainstream three-row battery-electric EVs from a mass market brand.

Road Test: Flying Low in 2023 Lucid Air Touring

America on the Road ·

2023/04/01

With more than 600 horsepower on tap, piloting the 2023 Lucid Air Touring is more like flying an airplane than driving a sedan. But a highly competent performance sedan is exactly what the Lucid Air Touring is. Interestingly, it has other personalities as well. And we discovered many of them as we interviewed David Lickfold, Lucid’s Director of Chassis and Vehicle Dynamics. Host Jack Nerad sat down with him at a recent driving event based in Santa Monica, California. In the extensive interview, he

America on the Road ·

2023/03/25

The 2023 Dodge Hornet is the newest addition to the giant compact sport-utility segment. And it brings along the Dodge brand muscularity, an image that is entirely lacking in that starkly conventional segment. The Hornet also marks a major departure for the Dodge brand, which like all Stellantis brands, has an uncertain future as the parent company considers consolidation. But if the Hornet points the way for Dodge, the brand should have a bright future. The two variants — the plug-in hybrid 2024

Road Testing All-New 2023 Honda Accord Sport Hybrid

2023/03/18

The all-new version of the 2023 Honda Accord surprises in several areas. The most startling change is under the hood where Honda has made a hybrid the top powertrain. Up until a few years ago, Honda showed a distinct lack of interest in hybrid powertrains but now it has done an about-face and installed a hybrid driveline is its flagship sedan. The addition of a hybrid drivetrain permits the Accord to go head-to-head with the 2023 Toyota Camry, which has its own well-regarded hybrids. Host Jack

If you’re looking for an inexpensive electric vehicle, the Hyundai Kona should be on your list. And if you’re looking for an inexpensive performance car, the Hyundai Kona should be on your list. With that in mind, this week, we road test both the 2023 Hyundai Kona EV and the 2023 Hyundai Kona N. Which is better? Which suits your needs?

First Drive: 2023 Jeep Compass

America on the Road ·

2023/03/04

The 2023 Jeep Compass has undergone an engine transplant for the new model year, and the transformation is nothing short of amazing. The substitution of a more powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for the previous normally aspirated 2.4-liter four has markedly brightened the Compass’s all-around performance. Host Jack Nerad was one of the first journalists to drive the renewed small SUV in the hills above Malibu, California, and to say he was impressed is putting it mildly. After

The 2023 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 combines old-school components like a normally aspirated high-displacement V8 engine with specialized off-road tech to create a commonsense premium all-terrain truck. This past week America on the Road Co-Host Chris Teague had the opportunity to put the Silverado ZR2 through a grueling series of tests in the midst of the Maine winter. We’re freezing just thinking about it. But what he discovered is worth knowing, and he’ll reveal it all and a little more in this

The first new Mustang performance series in 21 years, the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse features a sinister look worthy of its name. And it finally emerged into the limelight at the Chicago Auto Show, its first public display, where Host Jack Nerad got the opportunity to discuss it at length with Ford Mustang marketing guru Jim Owens. That interview is featured in this week’s show. To achieve what Ford calls the pinnacle of 5.0-liter V8 performance, the Mustang Dark Horse features a highly tuned

What happens when an automaker puts a 472-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 into a subcompact sedan? That’s what America on the Road Co-Host Chris Teague got to discover as he road-tested the 2023 Cadillac CT-4 V Blackwing this week. While the rear-drive rocket is not necessarily suited to battle the rigors of a harsh Maine winter, those are the conditions that the feisty Caddy found itself in. With magnetic ride control, competition-tuned suspension, and Brembo brakes, the CT-4 V Blackwing

2023 Ram 2500 Rebel Takes on Maine Winter … And Wins

2023/02/04

The new 2023 Ram Heavy Duty Rebel brings added off-road capabilities to its brutish power and impressive payload capacity. The recently introduced Rebel version of the Ram 2500 features unique exterior features, aggressive off-road tires, an electronic rear locker and rear limited-slip differential, and standard skid plates. A 12,000-pound WARN winch is optional. So you get the idea that this is a vehicle that is all-terrain ready. But how does a massive vehicle like this fare when confronted with

Ford and General Motors have been conservative in their approach to battery-electric pickup trucks, But Ram has decided to go in a completely different direction.

The 2023 Nissan Z loudly proclaims that affordable performance cars are not dead. While many seem to be writing off internal combustion engine vehicles — and all automotive fun — we say, “Not so fast.” The new Z and its 400-horsepower turbocharged V6 are poised to breathe new life into a segment that is in need of some rejuvenation.

The 2023 Kia EV6 GT isn’t just a crazy, in-your-face performance trim level. It is a shot across the frunk of every electric-vehicle manufacturer, including Tesla. With its $61,000 price and 576-horsepower all-wheel-drivetrain, the Kia EV6 GT states quite boldly that the heretofore “value brand” intends to be a global force to be reckoned with when it comes to engineering, manufacturing, and marketing EVs. It is a major step as Kia moves to execute its Plan S, the shift to battery-electric vehicles
