MERCEDES-BENZ
C-CLASS The C-Class was all-new last year; 2023 sees the W206 generation get its first AMG spinoff, the C 43. This is an old name with a fresh twist: Although the previous C 43 had a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6, the new car gets a turbocharged and mildly hybridized 2.0-liter four-cylinder. (This makes the C 43 the first Mercedes performance sedan with a longitudinally mounted four-pot since the 1989–1993 190E 2.5-16.) Power output is 402 hp and 369 lb-ft versus 385 hp and 384 lb-ft in the outgoing C 43. The standard 4Matic all-wheel drive has a fixed 31/69 percent front/rear torque split.
The C 43’s clever turbocharger is largely exhaust driven, but an 8-hp electric motor mounted between the turbine and compressor spools up at low engine speeds when exhaust pressure is insufficient. We’ve driven the new C 43, and the reduced turbo lag is evident—but so is the lack of low-end power compared to the old V-6. Handling and braking are superb, which will help it compete against the Audi S4 and BMW M340i.
CLA-CLASS The CLA can be had with the AMG Edition 55 package to celebrate the tuning arm’s emerald anniversary. A classic AMG badge, unique exterior graphics, and a thorough interior trimming defines the aesthetic end of things; wind tunnel-tested aerodynamic bits—front splitter, front canards, a rear wing, and a rear diffuser—look to increase performance.

MOTORTREND SUV OF THE YEAR 2024 - CERTIFIED FRESH
THEREâS NO REST FOR SUV MAKERS IN THE INTENSE QUEST TO BE THE BEST
THE CHEVROLET BLAZER EV IS THE 2024 SUV OF THE YEAR
Once again, the bow-tie brand shows leadership in the electric vehicle space
AGENTS OF ZERO
WE DID IT AGAIN: RUNNING OUR VW ID4 EV OUT OF ELECTRICITY, JUST TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS
THEY LISTENED
THE NEW TESLA MODEL 3 HIGHLAND FIXES NEARLY EVERYTHING WE HATED ABOUT THE OLD CAR
2023 Lexus RZ
Lexus says it will make only battery-powered vehicles by 2035, and the new RZÂ 450e is the brandâs first dedicated EV. This midsize crossover indicates Lexusâ 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 130âs wheelbase remains unchanged.)
2024 Kia Seltos
If youâve been a fan of Kiaâs recent styling direction but donât 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.
2023 Jeep Compass
When asked to identify an off-road vehicle, the average person will point to just about any Jeep.
2024 Hyundai Kona
The Kona enters its second generation for 2024 with a new design language. Itâs larger than the outgoing Kona, too, and its uncommonly ornate (for this class) and unmistakable design is something weâre 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 hasnât ranked at the top of its class for a long time, but every time we drive one, weâre pleasantly surprised. Although it perpetually feels a little outdated, thereâs some inherent goodness baked into the Escape.
