Flash Drive: 2019 Volkswagen Jetta SEL

Road Test: 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum
Built in Princeton, Indiana, Toyota knocked it out of the park with the all-new 2020 Highlander Hybrid. It remains the most fuel-efficient of the three-row SUVs on the market, doing so with a contemporary design and a comfortable interior.
Road Test: 2020 Toyota C-HR Limited
The strong points about the 2020 Toyota C-HR are good fuel economy, a unique design with some wild color choices, a solid and comfortable ride and a good selection of standard convenience and safety features.
Road Test: 2020 Kia Soul X-Line

Road Test: 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross SEL 1.5T S-AWC

Road Test: 2020 RAM 1500 Crew Cab Longhorn 4WD EcoDiesel
The 2020 Ram 1500 Longhorn Crew Cab 4WD EcoDiesel will cause you to ponder the question: Am I buying a premium vehicle for around-town errands and long family road trips or a work truck with best-in-class towing?
Road Test: 2020 Volvo S60 T8 AWD Plug-in Hybrid
