MotorWeek

It wasn't long ago when we tested the new Subaru Outback, and it's back at MotorWeek HQ in its new Wilderness grade. We'll see how this trail-hungry treatment kicks the Outback up a notch. Then, we'll trade pavement for tarmac in the awesome Audi RS3, which benefits from a few changes.

The Kia K4 impressed us as a worthwhile replacement for the Forte when it arrived last year; but now, a new Hatchback variant has arrived on our lot, looking to up the K4's game. We'll see how it does before our official test of a returning Jeep nameplate, the all-new and now hybrid Cherokee. And we'll have the usual assortment of Quick Spins and "Your Drive" car care advice.

The Honda Prelude has been revived, and we'll find out firsthand how this front-drive, 2+2 coupe carries the Prelude legacy while mingling with Honda's current hybrid tech. Then, we'll switch over to the Lexus RZ 550e and see how it pairs with F Sport performance. And we'll feature another "Road Test by Request," this time featuring a 10-year-old Lamborghini.

Our first test centers up on the new Nissan Sentra, a long-running nameplate for the brand that's throwing new features and style into a familiar formula. Then we'll get whisked away by the Lucid Air Touring, an all-electric sedan that blends luxury and performance. We'll also go "Over the Edge" on a battery-powered camping trip and visit the garage for more "Your Drive" car care.

The Subaru Crosstrek lineup is gaining a plus-one in the form of a new Hybrid grade. From its new powertrain to its Citron Yellow paint, we'll see if this Crosstrek is just the ticket for the adventurous, eco-conscious buyer. Then it's another adventure-inspired crossover, the Mazda CX-50 Turbo, looking sharp as ever with a Carbon Edition flair.

The Infiniti QX60 has arrived for 2026 with updated style and tech. In our first Road Test, we'll see what this means for this Pathfinder-based utility. In our second test, we'll pull up in the latest Honda Pilot, which also receives some updates for this model year. And between all that, we'll pop into a pop-up headlight sports car comparison test from the 80s.

The Nissan LEAF once played a critical role in making the electric vehicle available to the masses, and it's back now with a new "LEAF" on life. Nissan says it's a utility now, but we'll let you know what we think in this episode's first Road Test. We'll feature another electric crossover, this time from Scandinavia, the Volvo EX30. That and plenty more, so come ride with us!

The Chevrolet Blazer made a drastic change for the 21st century, and now it's here at MotorWeek HQ in another new, all-electric form. We'll see what the Blazer EV has going on before switching over to a Volkswagen best-seller made better, the Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo. Yes, it's a mouthful, but a fantastic addition to the Tiguan lineup packing more punch!

The Acura Integra has benefited from a slight refresh for the '26 model year, and we're shifting gears in the latest A-Spec model for a Road Test rundown. We'll follow this up with another compact car, the MINI Cooper S, which is as charming as ever. We'll also come at you with new Quick Spins and a throwback comparison test from 1994, pitting two muscle car competitors against each other.

The final subject of this year's Roebling Track Tests is none other than the Porsche 911 GT3. We've experienced so many GT3s, let alone 911s, over the years; how could the bar possibly get any higher? We're about to find out, and we're bringing you along with us. And we'll also give you a ride in the Ford Maverick Lobo, a factory-fresh street truck with attitude.

We'll rev up this week's episode with a Track Test of a "real fun" Mazda, the MX-5 Miata RF. We'll see if this small but sweet sports car delight is packing enough "zoom, zoom" before shifting over to the latest Ford Expedition, still big and bold but with plenty of new tricks. And we'll carve some curves during an all-electric "Two Wheelin'" cruise.

We're celebrating 45 years of MotorWeek with a special episode dedicated to those who made it all possible. Join John Davis and the rest of the MW crew as they take a look at this longstanding program. From its origins to some behind-the-scenes insight and even some bloopers, this is MotorWeek!

We're taking the Toyota GR Supra out for one last lap, behind the wheel of the new Final Edition model. It's more than just extra carbon fiber; come ride with us as we tear up the track. Then we'll keep the heat on with a double Road Test of two Volkswagen hot hatches, the Golf GTI and Golf R, both updated for 2025. And we'll have more Quick Spins and a special "Over the Edge" report.

We've spent enough time with the BMW M2 to know it means business, but when we were given the chance to put the new M2 CS through Roebling's nine corners, we couldn't refuse another go at it. Once we're satisfied, we'll climb into a popular Subaru utility that's recently undergone some significant changes, the all-new Outback.

The Porsche Panamera GTS is the next subject of our yearly track testing at Roebling Road Raceway. We'll see how it manages to build upon the Panamera's already impressive "track record," then try to keep our puns to a minimum as we shift over to Hyundai's three-row utility, the Palisade, which sees some important improvements.

We're kicking off another annual MotorWeek tradition with the Dodge Charger SIXPACK, the internal-combustion variant of the eighth-gen Charger and the subject of our first Roebling track test of the season. We'll follow that up with the Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid, a slightly more rugged take on this popular compact utility.

You know what this is--it's time for our 2026 Drivers' Choice Awards! Each year, the MotorWeek staff votes on their favorite picks for the best cars, trucks and utilities they've driven, and we share the results in one special episode. Of course, we'll also have our pick for overall "Best of the Year," and we'll even look back at some of our previous winners in an anniversary throwback segment.

First is an electrifying new entry in Cadillac's "IQ" portfolio, the LYRIQ-V, which blends Caddy luxury and V performance with an electric twist. Our second test features the Genesis GV70, a luxury utility that might just surprise you. And in between all that, a new "Over the Edge" featuring throttled up hot rods and a special look back at the Suzuki Samurai.

When you think 'Subaru,' chances are you already imagine off-road capabilities, and their Wilderness sub-brand has only bolstered that reputation. We're seeing how the new Forester Wilderness is supporting that reputation for 2026, then we'll come back to the studio for the lavish Lincoln Navigator. It's a team effort to dive into this high-lux high roller, so come ride with us!

The Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison takes this midsize truck to new off-road capabilities, and we had our chance to saddle up and see what this beast can really do. Join us for that test, followed by a look at Hyundai's biggest electric utility yet, the IONIQ 9. We'll also bring you a special crash test report from the IIHS and more "Your Drive" project know-how.

General Motors is continuing to expand its electric-vehicle portfolio, and with a heavy emphasis on Cadillac. Our first test focuses on their latest luxury EV effort, the VISTIQ. We'll then stop and fill up for an internal-combustion test of the Audi A3. And we'll take a trip to Michigan for an "Over the Edge" report on a large-scale car show.

2025 sees some important changes for Audi lineup, including the A5. We've brought in the team to figure out what's new and to see how it shakes up this Euro sedan's formula while retaining much of what buyers love. Then we'll ride high in the Chevrolet Suburban; specifically, one with a diesel-burning powertrain. We'll also come at you with another "Quick Spin" and all the latest "Motor News!"

Our first test is of the Mercedes-AMG E53 Hybrid, a high-lux, high-performance sedan that can get your heart rate up as quickly as it'll get it down. Then we'll switch to the latest Volkswagen Tiguan, sporting a new generation for this VW bestseller. We'll also have more "Your Drive" tech tips and a Porsche "Quick Spin" all the way from Spain!

The all-electric Porsche Taycan continues to impress; however, this time, it's not just instant EV torque that has us going. Join us for a look at the practical and stylish Cross Turismo! Then we'll slim down into a new crossover contender from Acura, the ADX, which find finds a way to cram as much of the brand's aggressive, yet premium vibes in a smartly compact package.
