The news was light during this short week, but the first drives of some new cars loomed large for the marketplace. Honda launched its first mass-produced electric vehicle in the Prologue crossover that casts a much wider net than the discontinued Honda Clarity sedan. Ram retired its V-8 and diesel models for a twin-turbo inline-6 that spun us around, right ’round like a hurricane. Mazda also disclosed pricing and trim levels on the 2025 CX-70, a two-row version of the three-row CX-90 that launched new last year.
We also tracked the prices on other new models and got some seat time in the new Hyundai Kona. Here’s what moved us.
Roomy, refined, and feature-packed, the 2024 Prologue electric crossover prioritizes substance more than style on its way to a TCC Rating of 7.2 out of 10.
Ram’s full-size 1500 pickup places future bets on EVs and PHEVs, but for now it straps on a winning twin-turbo inline-6 and hauls a TCC Rating of 6.8 out of 10.
The Porsche 911 earns its status as the world’s benchmark sports car, but only for two people. It’s a 6.8.
Fun in any form, the 2024 Audi A3 pairs blend-in styling with a spunky personality. It’s a more functional 6.8.
Offering a nearly 300-mile range, the Mercedes-Benz EQE appeals for its slick styling and high-tech interior. It earns a TCC Rating of 7.8 out of 10.
Stylish and refined, the Volvo C40 Recharge is an appealing electric car for drivers not fixated on maximum range or utility. It earns a 7.5 out of 10.
Overshadowed figuratively and literally by the company’s XC60 SUV, the S60 sedan and V60 wagon remain terrific choices, and retain a TCC Rating of 7.3 out of 10.
