2022 Kia Telluride SX V6 AWD l Review
/
/
comments
I’m gonna say this up front, the Kia Telluride may just be the new benchmark midsize crossover. My colleague Eric covered it on Hooniverse well back when it was a brand new model in 2020, noting that it’s “as good as everyone says“. If you’re already sold on that notion, thanks for clicking and you…

2022 Toyota GR86 Premium l Review
/
/
comments
I’ll say this up front, I was never a massive fan of the original FR-S/BRZ/86. Conceptually, sure I was all in. A light two door RWD coupe, yes please. However, in practice I just never came to love any of them, and it came down to one reason. Power. Sure, you can have massive fun…

The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq5 is Stylish, Quirky, Electrified Fun
/
/
comments
The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq5 is an excellent EV that looks great, is nice inside, and charges quickly. Hyundai has made sure it stands out with its retro-fun pixelated future styling. Inside, the cabin is comfortable and well equipped. And even better is that this AWD version has 320 horsepower and can handle 350kW charging speeds.…

2022 Toyota Tundra 1794 CrewMax l Review
/
/
comments
The Toyota Tundra is a relative newcomer to the truck world, only having been around since the year 2000. The new millennium brought us Toyota’s replacement for the old T100 truck, the XK30/XK40 Tundra. An entire twenty two years later and we’re just now getting the third generation of Toyota’s full-size truck. That first generation…

2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk l Review
/
/
comments
It’s hard to fathom, but the Jeep Grand Cherokee (JGC) has been in production for…wait for it…thirty years. There it is, I said it. The ZJ generation was Jeep’s first attempt at a luxury SUV. With six and eight cylinder power the Grand Cherokee set up much of the basis of what we know the…

Review: 2022 Honda Passport TrailSport
/
/
comments
In 2019 I took a quick off-road excursion in a slightly modified Honda Passport. That drive proved two things. First, so-called cross-over utility vehicles are better off-road than we think. Second, they’re still not nearly as good as proper body-on-frame utility vehicles purposely designed to be off-road capable. That second part has most to do…

The 2022 Lexus LX 600 is 90 Percent a Land Cruiser
/
/
comments
It’s not the 300-Series Land Cruiser, but the 2022 Lexus LX 600 is pretty darn close. We no longer get the Cruiser here in North America as the LX 600 is now the defacto full-bore big off-roader from the Toyota family. And that’s actually not bad when you consider it has a powerful twin-turbocharged V6,…

Hey there hoons, I’m back, and I’m kicking off a host of new vehicle reviews with a good one! The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is new to the EV scene with an attractive hatchback body style and competitive pricing. As the title implies, its also quite good. Not just “good for an EV”, it’s just good,…

The 2022 Land Rover Defender 90 V8 is an angry mountain goat
/
/
comments
I already know I love the Land Rover Defender, but that ratchets up a bit when you swap in V8 power. This is the Defender 90 V8 and there’s a big-ole 5.0-liter V8 between the front fenders. It’s supercharged and makes 518 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque. And it puts all that power to…
