When Ford unveiled the Mach-E, an all-electric SUV with the VV Mustang name, Mustang-like styling, and none of the Mustang's V-8 noises, it opened Pandora's corral. Some loved the execution-a whopping 70 percent of first-year Mach-E buyers are new to the Ford brand-but traditionalists all but wrote off the EV as a marketing stunt, whinnying about an affront to the pony car's lineage. Can the new Mach-E GT, the electrified equivalent of the gas Mustang GT, get them on board?
The range-topping GT trades a single motor, rear-drive setup and smaller 70-kWh battery for all-wheel drive and a larger 91-kWh pack; the GT also uses the larger rear unit from other AWD Mach-Es as its front motor. Output is a substantial 480 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque, placing it atop the Mach-E hierarchy by 134 ponies and 172 lb-ft; that also beats a gas-powered GT's 5.0-liter V-8 by 20 hp and 180 lb-ft.

2023 Lexus RZ
Lexus says it will make only battery-powered vehicles by 2035, and the new RZ 450e is the brand’s first dedicated EV. This midsize crossover indicates Lexus’ future lineup will have luxurious appeal, but we find this first effort lacking in crucial areas.

2024 Land Rover Defender
The Defender 130 is a tricky one to judge. On one hand, it potentially improves upon a design and package we previously lauded enough to crown as our 2021 SUV of the Year in the form of the standard Defender 110. The 130 is more than a foot longer than the 110 and has more room for people and stuff, stretching the existing design into a new body style. (The 130’s wheelbase remains unchanged.)

2024 Kia Seltos
If you’ve been a fan of Kia’s recent styling direction but don’t want to pay top dollar for it, the 2024 Kia Seltos is a great way to get a rolling piece of that design aesthetic at a reasonable price.

2024 Hyundai Kona
The Kona enters its second generation for 2024 with a new design language. It’s larger than the outgoing Kona, too, and its uncommonly ornate (for this class) and unmistakable design is something we’re already seeing in other upcoming Hyundai products. Having really liked the previous Kona, would our judges warm to this one?

2023 Ford Escape
The Escape is one of those SUVs that hasn’t ranked at the top of its class for a long time, but every time we drive one, we’re pleasantly surprised. Although it perpetually feels a little outdated, there’s some inherent goodness baked into the Escape.
