Our sneak peek at the most promising cars, trucks, and SUVs of the next few years.

With an extra measure of style and verve, today’s coupes range from sporty to luxurious and everything in between—and these two-doors are our favorites.

Hybrids and plug-in hybrids combine gasoline and electric power to improve fuel economy, and these are the top hybrid cars, SUVs, and trucks to consider.

The upgraded Pilot's extra equipment and freshened look help it remain a solid, if unexciting, choice in this competitive segment.

Review, Pricing, and Specs

We're glad the Prelude is back, even if it's difficult to make the value case for a $43K, front-wheel-drive, 200-hp hybrid sports coupe.

Compared with the nearly identical Subaru Trailseeker, this stretched version of the Toyota bZ electric SUV isn't quite as good a value.

Now that the new CX-5 is stretched out with a bigger back seat and cargo area, it's the more expensive of Mazda's two compact SUVs.

Mitsu’s legendary mid-size SUV is slated to return, likely again with body-on-frame construction, four-wheel drive, and legitimate off-road chops.

The electric SUV has a whole lot more power than before, but it still lags behind its rivals in terms of driving pleasure and curb appeal.

Updates for 2026 include new technology features and fresh styling, but the Pathfinder remains a midpack contender in the three-row-SUV class.

The hatchback version of Kia's compact car comes in three trim levels—EX, GT-Line, and GT-Line Turbo—all of which start below $30,000.

Hybrid models are multiplying fast, so we pulled together all the newest ones you can get now—or will be able to get shortly.

The nonhybrid LX and SE models get a bigger touchscreen and more features, but prices are only up by around $100–$150 across the board.

Under the appealingly boxy new look of the Honda Passport lies a well-rounded mid-size SUV that deftly toes the line between ruggedness and civility.

Though it's a temporary measure until a new Rogue arrives with Nissan's own hybrid system, this Mitsubishi twin at least gives Nissan dealers a hybrid to sell.

Our top picks for used mid-size four-doors include models with hybrid powertrains, a few luxury sedans, and even some versions with surprising performance.

The e-Power series-hybrid setup will debut on the redesigned 2027 Rogue compact SUV and its forthcoming Infiniti counterpart.

These are our favorite compact sedans and hatchbacks that combine fuel efficiency and affordability while also offering desirable design and performance.

What We Know So Far

We chose our favorites among the burgeoning class of compact SUVs, all of which are desirable picks as used-vehicle buys.

Once a lifted wagon, the redesigned Subaru Outback is now a mid-size SUV.

The base price for the new hybrid-only model is up over last year, but the addition of a FWD hybrid means it's less expensive to start than the previous hybrid.

Whether you're looking for a compact SUV, a three-row family hauler, or a luxury model, these are our top picks, and all have previously won our 10Best award.

We've selected the top-rated used sedans, hatchbacks, and coupes, and all of these models won our 10Best award, so you can't really go wrong with any of them.
