The Sport setting is good, with ride comfort controlled and comfortable while still being firm. If you’re bombing down a back road, I can see being entertained by the setting, though it’s no AMG sports car. It’s also not as firm as something like a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. With good range, great fast charging, ..

The robotaxi company Waymo has suspended service in some parts of Los Angeles after some of its vehicles were summoned and then vandalized by protesters angry with ongoing raids by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Five of Waymo’s autonomous Jaguar I-Pace electric vehicles were summoned downtown to the site of anti-ICE protests, at which point ..
What to expect on Sunday? Kirkwood was bullish about his chances despite starting relatively deep in the field, qualifying in 23rd place. “We’ve been phenomenal in race trim and qualifying,” he said. “We had a bit of a head-scratcher if I’m being honest—I thought we would definitely be a top-six contender, if not a front ..
Sunday brought smiles for the Red Bull and Ferrari teams. In the hands of Verstappen, the Red Bull was about as fast as the black-and-orange McLarens, and while second was the best Verstappen could do in qualifying, the gap to McLaren’s Oscar Piastri was measured in the hundredths of a second. Verstappen’s initial start from ..
Perhaps if I was more patient I’d have gotten closer to the EPA combined 27 mpg (8.7 L/100 km), too—instead the best I could average was 23 mpg (10.2 L/100 km). One wonders how much lower it would be without the 48 V mild hybrid system. The fascia got an update a few years ago. ..
In the modern era, cars keep getting bigger and bigger between generations. Or at least, they’re certainly not getting smaller. That’s especially true in America, where bigger is always better and the vehicles in the current crop of “compact” crossovers are now nearly as large as full-size SUVs from a decade ago. Don’t ask about ..
Tesla has raised the ire of some of its customers, who are accusing the carmaker of misleading them. Until recently, it would not allow customers who leased its EVs to purchase them at the end of the lease. Instead, the leases stated that it “plan[s] to use those vehicles in the Tesla ride-hailing network.” Tesla ..
The new infotainment human-machine interface was a little confusing at first; pairing my phone took about 10 minutes but worked out in the end, and wireless Apple CarPlay behaved itself throughout the week. When starting the car there was sometimes a lengthy wait for the infotainment to boot up, as if the hardware wasn’t quite ..
President Donald Trump is set to ease up slightly on the automotive industry this week. After being warned that his trade war will result in hiked prices and fewer vehicles being built, government officials over the past two days have signaled that Trump will sign an executive order today that will mitigate some of the ..
I remain perpetually wrong-footed by the Volkswagen Golf R, the more powerful all-wheel drive upgrade to the venerable VW Golf GTI. I always expect I’m in for a driving experience that is as measured and calm as it is fast. I don’t know why I continually underestimate the R—Ars has driven a few of them ..
