Mitsubishi Motors North America wants to matter in America again, and a pickup truck could be its best shot.

The updated Momentum 2030 plan will expand Mitsubishi’s U.S. lineup with new EVs, a more rugged Outlander, and, most importantly, a return to the pickup segment through a collaboration with Nissan. The opportunity is huge, but Mitsubishi needs to build more than a Nissan with a different grille.

Could a new Mitsubishi pickup put the three-diamond badge back on your shopping list?

Hyundai is helping make sure some of the smallest passengers are riding safer.

Through Hyundai Hope, the automaker donated $25,000 to Children’s National to provide car seats and boosters to eligible families across Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Just as important, trained child passenger safety technicians are helping families make sure those seats are installed correctly.

Car seat fit and installation are a big part of every family-focused vehicle review we do at GT: Garage Talk®, so this is a program that immediately caught our attention.

The 2027 Chevrolet Traverse High Country gets a fresh look, but the update that matters most has nothing to do with badges or 22-inch wheels.

Chevy is adding Cabin Glance, an interior camera that lets you keep an eye on passengers in the second and third rows right from the 17.7-inch center screen. After using a similar system during our 3,000-mile Pacifica road trip, this is exactly the kind of family-friendly tech we want to see more often.

The new High Country also gets revised exterior trim, real wood inside, and some welcome interior details, although I still think Chevy needs to bring more color and contrast back to its top Traverse trim.

Honda’s smallest crossover could finally be getting the hybrid powertrain buyers have been waiting for.

Honda says there’s no obvious reason the HR-V and Acura ADX couldn’t go hybrid, especially as the company shifts its focus toward electrified models. But there’s a catch: keeping the price right in one of the most cost-conscious segments of the market.

With competitors like the Toyota Corolla Cross, Subaru Crosstrek and Kia Niro already offering hybrid options, an HR-V Hybrid could fill a major hole in Honda’s U.S. lineup.

And don’t be surprised if Acura’s ADX gets there first.

Would a hybrid powertrain make you more interested in the HR-V or ADX?

Jeep just took the Wrangler back to the Smokies.

The new 2027 Jeep Wrangler Smoky Mountain Edition brings Dana 44 axles, a locking rear differential, 33-inch KO2s, available 35s and unique mountain-inspired styling.

The surprising part? It’s only $80 more than a comparably equipped Wrangler Willys.

Is this one of Jeep’s better special editions, or are there already too many Wrangler variants?

Hyundai EV owners can now save every time they plug in at an IONNA charger.

Eligible Hyundai models get an automatic 10% discount at IONNA fast-charging stations, plus an additional 10% bonus through Sept. 30, bringing the total savings to 20% for a limited time. No promo codes, no rebates, just charge through Hyundai In-App Charging or Plug & Charge and save.

For families hitting the road, cheaper charging plus IONNA’s growing network of family-friendly Rechargeries could make EV road trips a little easier.

We put the 2027 Chrysler Pacifica Limited AWD through a family road-trip test that’s hard to fake: 20 states, 16 days and 3,175 miles.

From rain-soaked Vermont mountain roads to Acadia National Park, Philadelphia, Savannah, Tybee Island and finally home to Texas, the Pacifica proved why the minivan still might be the ultimate family road-trip vehicle.

Stow ’n Go gave us room to adapt on the fly. Stow ’n Vac made beach sand disappear. Tucker practically lived in the third row. And somehow, we averaged 24.1 MPG over the entire trip.

Was it perfect? Nope. But after 3,175 miles, this exact Limited AWD spec earned a spot on our family’s shortlist.

The Genesis USA GV90 Neolun is here, and Genesis isn’t playing in the background anymore.

This all-electric flagship brings some wild hardware to the luxury SUV fight, including world-first hidden B-pillar coach doors, roughly 657 horsepower, a 123.5-kWh battery, and an estimated 310 miles of range.

Inside? Real wood, genuine stone, wool cashmere, a pop-up 24.6-inch OLED display, and an available four-seat Executive Suite that looks more private jet than SUV.

Mercedes, BMW and Rolls-Royce might want to pay attention.
