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 and a tag team review of the latest Kia Sportage. Plus, we'll wrap up the season with two of our favorite "OTE" and "FYI" features, and another "Your Drive" deep dive.

It's been a few years since we've given the Ford Mustang Mach-E a full Road Test review; and while it remains largely the same, this all-electric utility has seen some meaningful changes since its arrival. We'll go down the list before switching over to the new Jeep Cherokee, which blends some old school inspiration with a modern hybrid powertrain.

Along with revamping their internal-combustion lineup, Subaru has been bolstering their all-electric options over the years, and that now leads us to the 2026 Trailseeker. We'll see how it stacks up, then double back for a review of the revived Honda Prelude, now hybrid-assisted and built with some Type R carryovers.

The Audi Q3 has entered a new generation for 2026, and we've just put it through our Road Test paces. We'll give you all the need-to-know on this gen-three Q3 first, ending with a look at the latest Nissan Sentra. How does it continue to pack a long list of features into its sensible, entry-level form? Find out, along with another round of Quick Spins.

The Toyota bZ, formerly known as the bZ4X, has received several improvements for 2026, including the abbreviated name change. We'll take stock of all that's new in our first test before spending time with the Mazda CX-50 Turbo, sporting a special Carbon grade. And we'll bring you another set of Quick Spins, plus a special FYI report on teen driving safety.

The INEOS Grenadier is one of the newest offerings to capitalize on the popularity of overlanding, and it takes the concept of off-road adventure vehicle to modern extremes in a retro-inspired way. We'll see what it's all about before checking out all the updates made to the Honda Pilot. And we'll bring you more Motor News and another Long-Term update.

We've spent a lot of time with the Subaru Solterra since it arrived just a few years ago, and now we're back in the saddle trying out this battery-electric's first major update. After that, we'll conquer the trails with the latest from a legendary line of off-roaders, the Land Rover Defender 110.

Our 2026 Drivers' Choice Awards pick for 'Best of the Year" is back for another set. This time, it's the Dodge Charger R/T, the entry-level trim of the internal-combustion SIXPACK Charger. We'll start with that twin-turbocharged muscle car before getting some drive time with another turbo-tuned ride, the Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Turbo, kicked up a notch.

Mazda continues to push further into premium territory, and they haven't left out their bread and butter. How does the new CX-5 fare in following this more upscale direction while retaining its easy bar for entry? We'll find out before taking on a lone street truck from Ford, the Maverick Lobo. And we'll bring you more "Your Drive" garage advice and an all-new Quick Spin.

While Toyota has continued pushing their hybrid powertrains, they continue to dabble in battery-electric vehicles, and the latest to join their lineup is a returning name. We'll see how some electrified CPR has revived the C-HR before switching over to an internal-combustion track toy from BMW, the M2 CS. And we'll come to you with all the latest Motor News.

This week's episode starts with a grand tour of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which continues for 2026 with a few updates, including a new powertrain option. Then we'll check in with Hyundai's heavy SUV hitter, the latest Palisade. We'll also send it sideways in a new OTE, then it's to 22B or not to 22B in a special Subaru Impreza throwback request.

While companies continue to reassess their vehicle strategies, it would seem Subaru is going all out with their all-electric portfolio. The 2026 Uncharted is their smallest offering yet, and we'll see how it plots a course for Subaru's electrified future. Then we'll get on with a proper track workout in the Dodge Charger Scat Pack, now powered by a modern-day, internal-combustion SIXPACK.

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.

The Toyota RAV4, one of the most successful automobiles ever made, is keeping with the times by entering a new generation for 2026. We'll see how this compact-crossover influencer shakes up the game once more before switching over to the all-electric Cadillac LYRIQ V, a charged-up utility with a penchant for velocity.

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.
