If you haven’t shopped for a new car in a while, you’re in for sticker shock. With the average price of a new car hovering around $50,000 for some time now, it may seem like that new-car smell is out of reach. But you can still find good new cars that are priced tens of thousands of dollars less than that. Our expert car reviewers looked at national car listing prices and voted for their favorite models in seven different vehicle classes.

Tesla is having a problem right now: Its sales are down, and it’s now scrambling to make up for the loss. Combine that with growing Supercharger access for competitors, and the edge that Tesla seems to have had is wearing off. In a surprising move, Tesla is reportedly planning to integrate Apple CarPlay capability into its vehicles, which seems to be a move to help counter those poor sales.

After driving a top-of-the-line 2025 Kia Telluride SX-Prestige X-Pro, I’m reminded why the Telluride remains so popular — and where it needs to improve.

For most of us, having a car means having the freedom to roam, whether that means a quick trip to work or a journey across the continent. If you love taking longer trips but want to buy an electric vehicle, chances are you’re no stranger to range anxiety. Range anxiety is the concern that your EV won’t have enough battery capacity to complete a journey, and it’s a fair one given the work-in-progress state of charging networks in North America.

So you’ve decided to take a gamble on an electric vehicle, but you’d like to keep the ante down for getting into the game. There are lots of good reasons not to spend the kids’ college fund on the fanciest, six-figure EV — namely, sending them to college.

It looks like an update for 2026 will fix one of those issues: Nissan is debuting a revised version of the three-row crossover at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show with a large, modern infotainment system with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with revised exterior styling and more premium features.

A wild idea recently started to make the rounds online that many were convinced was true after President Donald Trump floated the idea of a half-century mortgage. Shortly after this announcement, an image that appeared legitimate, bearing both the image and color scheme of an official White House announcement, claimed Trump had directed both the Transportation and Commerce secretaries to work on introducing 15-year auto loans. Thankfully, multiple news outlets have fact-checked the claim and deemed it to be false — and it’s likely for the best as long loan terms are a financial black hole.

It’s not just that EVs take longer to “fill up” than gas cars that makes public charging a comparatively onerous task. The fragmented nature of the public-charging ecosystem also complicates EV ownership. Imagine if the nozzles at BP stations only fit some cars, while other cars could only accept Shell, Marathon or Mobil nozzles, and you could only find those stations and pay for your gas through each brand’s dedicated app.
