Good news for current and future Ford owners: according to the Detroit Free Press, the automaker will release an update to its much-maligned MyFord Touch infotainment system in December, and warranties on the system will be extended by a full two years. The troubles with MyFord Touch and its luxury sibling, MyLincoln Touch, became apparent last...
Several new models have made their debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show taking place this week. They include the rugged 2014 Subaru Forester, the luxury laden 2014 Acura RLX and the surprisingly stylish 2014 Kia Forte. The new Forester is about the same size as the outgoing version, but its somewhat taller roofline and more chiseled look in...
Subaru is broadening the appeal of its rugged Forester compact crossover for 2014—by adding more ground clearance, an X Mode off-road setting, more comfortable seating and interior materials, and upscale options such as a power liftgate, Harmon Kardon premium audio, and adaptive cruise control. While some of those all items reach out to a...
Bigger is better, right? If that’s what you think, especially regarding sensible family vehicles, Hyundai may have saved the best of its all-new 2013 Santa Fe lineup for last. At the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, Hyundai officially pulled the wraps off the three-row versions of the new Santa Fe that, as we’ve already pointed out in our...
Acura's top-shelf sedan is all-new for 2014, and while its mission as a luxury performance sedan and the brand's technology flagship hasn't changed, its name has: to RLX. In addition, a new hybrid system, special torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, and four-wheel steering should push this sedan higher up on luxury shoppers' lists, while with a...
Take one brief look at the 2014 Kia Sorento, shown for the first time at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show, and you might just ask what’s so new about it. It’s true the Sorento doesn’t look radically different than the 2013 model. In fact, it looks much the same from the side, and only modestly facelifted at the front and rear, with...
Compact four-door sedans represent a growing portion of the overall car market in the U.S., and Kia is determined to stay competitive. So just five years after the last generation, today it took the wraps off an all-new 2014 Kia Forte sedan--which will go on sale by March of next year. The new Forte compact is longer, lower, and wider, with fully...
The Kia Sorento hasn’t been on sale for all that long in its current form (since the 2011 model year); but for 2014 the Sorento is already up for some significant improvements. And it doesn’t amount to just a minor refresh either: Kia says that more than 80 percent of the parts in the new Sorento are either all-new or significantly...
The 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe has a split personality, but it's by choice. Faced with the boom in small crossovers and the popularity of the seven-passenger Santa Fe until it was dropped in 2009, Hyundai's shut down its Veracruz nameplate, and expanded the Santa Fe brand to include two body styles--the two-row Santa Fe Sport, and the three-row Santa...
In the U.S., we tend to talk about fuel economy in terms of miles-per-gallon. After decades of doing so, it's a system that we've come to understand -- or so we think. Unfortunately, miles-per-gallon doesn't tell the whole story. In fact, it's a metric that can sometimes be deceiving. But what are the alternatives? In many other parts of the...
The Toyota RAV4 has been one of the top-selling compact crossovers since it inaugurated the category back in the 1990s. It's been outstripped since by the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V, but it's still a solid performer in sales and appeal--and it's likely to repeat that feat in its latest edition, making its debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show...
