Car and Driver - January 2022

Goes Fast, Saves Gas, Bring Cash

Highs: Undeniably luxurious, the quickest new Grand Cherokee, a plug-in hybrid that can tow ORVs is our kind of contradiction. Lows: Uncertain handoff between gas and electric at low speeds, test-car issues, an expensive way to save gas.

Racing for the Podium but Falling Short of a Win

Highs: Looks tough but pretty, howls like a wolf pack, firmed-up ride. Lows: Scraping the front splitter, outdated infotainment, lacks daily-driver convenience.

Too Much of a Good Thing

Highs: Crushing top-end acceleration, awesome on the track, grip for days. Lows: Intolerable seats, tiresome on-road ride, steering has mind of its own.

Playing Catch-Up

Highs: Sharp new duds, quicker than before, tows up to 6000 pounds. Lows: Tight third row, firm ride on 20-inch wheels, not far enough removed from its Nissan counterpart.

Breaking the Minivan Mold

With newfound refinement and off-road chops, the redesigned Pilot buries its minivan roots and becomes a more desirable mid-size SUV.

Drawing Lines in the Sand

Even more than its far-distant cousin the VW Beetle, the Porsche 911 makes one helluva dune buggy.

A GOOD SPORT
