best EV of the year is the

Model 3.
The Model 3 is unlike any other vehicle on sale, electric or ICE. Its features, technology, price and driving dynamics make it an impossible force to ignore.
Tesla's recent over-the-air software update for the Model 3 promised a 5% increase in power. Is it possible to add more power to a car out of thin air? Our test track run says: YES.
The ultimate driving machine? Not anymore. We put our 2-year-old Model 3 –– which isn’t even the most sportiest configuration –– up against the new BMW 3 Series and came away concluding the
@Tesla
is just more fun to drive.
What happens when you take the fastest Camaro, Challenger and Mustang –– the ZL1 1LE, Hellcat Redeye and Shelby GT500 –– three cars that have over 2,200 combined horsepower, and put them head-to-head in a drag race situation?
This happens.
Last year, our Lucid Air’s infotainment was buggy and lagged. Today, responsiveness has improved and CarPlay functionality has been added — now we’re just trying to make it more aesthetically pleasing…

Calling a

is stylish, spacious, sensibly priced, and should be fast and fun to drive. If that's what makes a Mustang a Mustang, it works for us.
The Cybertruck tested was the Foundation Series on all-terrain tires, which is rated by Tesla as having 318-mile range. Our original article was based on the publicly-available range of 340 miles.
The CT therefore actually exceeded its est. We have amended the original article.
Pause here a moment and take a good long look, because with a top speed of 217 mph and only 800 being made, it'll be very hard to see a

The Edmunds Top Rated 2022 Best EV is the
@Tesla
Model 3.
We've now named the Model 3 Best EV three-years-in-a-row.
And it’s not hard to see why –– the cabin is quiet, spacious, and comfortable, *and* it’s fun to drive:
The 2022 Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae is absolutely, without question, the very last time we'll see a ridiculous mid-mounted, 760hp V12 with no turbo or hybrid. And what an end of an era it is:
How do you choose the right 3-row SUV for you and your family? Well, if style is a factor, the Honda Pilot Black Edition is a strong contender if you can stomach the price tag... 💰💰💰
The Tesla Model S Plaid is nothing more than a marketing exercise designed to draw attention to an aging car. Also, the yoke is a joke. Our full review of the fastest car we’ve ever tested:
A look inside the new Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray.
What we liked:
The squared-off wheel
Actual buttons for the HVAC controls
What we need more time to decide if we liked:
The placement of those buttons
When Ford announced its decision to turn the Mustang into an EV we were apprehensive. But they pulled it off.
The

Mach-E is instantly the best luxury electric vehicle you can buy today.
A report from Reuters has stated that Tesla knew about its poor range results and gaslit its own customers
Our own real-world range testing has shown that no Tesla has ever met its EPA range estimate
Operating conditions for Mercedes' L3 Drive Pilot system:
Highway only
Must be following another vehicle
40mph maximum
No interchanges
No inclement weather
No flashing lights in vicinity
Daytime only
Cannot change lanes
Pay $2500/year
What we expected: The speed of the 2019
@Lamborghini
Urus; it's the most performance-oriented SUV you can buy.
What we didn't: Its versatility and composure in such a wide variety of settings.
So we bought a Tesla Model Y. Some first thoughts:
1/ Despite growing in height and weight, the Model Y retains the pleasing steering and handling attributes of the smaller Model 3.
If you've never heard of the Ineos Grenadier, the forthcoming, all-new off-road-focused SUV, you're not alone. If you need a work-focused off-road SUV with enormous capabilities, however, you'll want to hear more:
The 2022 Fisker Ocean is a stunning, design-driven EV, that looks incredibly compelling given its promised price and specs. But there's also the fact that Fisker solved the 16:9 or 9:16 quandary right out the gate 👇
Watch our hands-on first look:
@Tesla
Simply put, the Model 3 is more fun to drive than similarly priced compact luxury sedans, including the self-proclaimed ‘ultimate driving machine’, the BMW 3 Series.
@Tesla
Model 3, Edmunds Top Rated EV of the year.
Confirmed: The Lucid is the first-ever EV in our testing to break the 500-mile barrier.
The Lucid Air Dream Range edition sets a new record in the Edmunds Real World Range Test at 505 miles, just short of the EPA range estimate of 520.
Let's talk styling on the all-new Jeep Grand Wagoneer for minute now we've driven one:
✔️ new grille and headlights
✖️ upright roof pillars
✔️ owns its massive size
Next week, we announce the 3rd annual Edmunds Top Rated Awards –– the culmination of thousands of hours of tests and reviews on hundreds of vehicles. Top Rated represents nothing but the best cars, trucks, EVs and SUVs you can buy today.

North American debut. When it goes on sale in the fall of 2018, it will start at $200k and sport a 650-hp turbocharged V8.
Tesla is now 0 for 7 when it comes to its EPA range.
Meanwhile, all three Mach-Es we've tested have exceeded their EPA estimates by at least 34 miles.
Pick one: Underperform or overdeliver?

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6 are two of the newest accessible luxury SUV EVs to hit the market in 2022 –– we put them head-to-head and immediately noticed some key differences:
The DOJ has issued subpoenas to Tesla as it investigates Tesla's range claims. Our own real-world testing has found not a single Tesla has ever hit its EPA range estimate.
Thoughts after driving the Lucid Air for just 15 minutes:
It feels more like a Mercedes or Porsche than it does a Tesla.
This is an impressive debut for the new EV startup.

, we talk about everything we saw at this year's New York Auto Show, and why the BMW XM might actually be worse than it looks. Listen 👉
This is the 2022 Toyota Tundra, the first full redesign of the Tundra since '07. The redesigned Tundra promises to actually be competitive alongside modern trucks unlike its ancient predecessor.
We've tested 75 EVs for real-world range. Every Tesla vehicle tested failed to meet its EPA estimate. The range reductions announced by Tesla are an important step in providing a more accurate reflection of how far their vehicles will travel on a single charge.
Any takers for the CT5-V Blackwing against a Shelby GT500 in a U-Drag –– what we've said might be the ultimate test of acceleration, handling and braking?
The 3-row Honda Pilot is a hauler, i.e. this could be the perfect vehicle for you if you have a lot of people and/or things in your life. Examples include but are not limited to:
✔️ Minibike
✔️ Bicycle (wheels on)
❌ Motorcycle
The Edmunds Top Rated 2022 best luxury SUV of the year is the Genesis GV70.
The GV70 brings with it something not often seen in its competitors from Germany: Value
Toyota just revealed the new Prius for the first time. More details TK but just on the exterior and interior design alone, this looks like it's a big step forward.
It's a family-friendly SUV that can go almost 200mph while feeling surprisingly composed for a vehicle that's riding on 23-inch wheels. It's called the Aston Martin DBX707.
After we said every Tesla vehicle we've tested failed to meet its EPA range estimate, the automaker contacted us to say we were wrong. So we put together an extensive retest to determine once and for all if any Tesla can meet its EPA rating:
Next week we will announce the winners of Edmunds Top Rated 2024, the six very best cars, trucks and SUVs –– both gas and electric –– that you can buy today.
It's the afternoon before Thanksgiving. Maybe you're stuck in traffic. Maybe you're stuck in a TSA line. Maybe you're not. Either way, here's a soothing line of Challengers that Dodge put together for its 50th Anniversary.
The 2021 Porsche Cayenne GTS is first time the latest-generation Cayenne is getting the GTS treatment. Worth it if you were going to buy a Cayenne S with performance upgrades anyway.
