Automakers seemed to launch their own spring auto shows this week, in the wake of a relatively quiet New York auto show at the end of March. Big debuts from Toyota, Buick, Acura, a sweet drive in the redesigned Porsche Taycan, and big updates from Ford topped this week’s new cars news and reviews at The Car Connection.
Here’s what moved us:
Toyota’s rugged but aging off-roader goes in for a hybrid revamp and more good trail hunting.
Buick’s three-row crossover SUV shapes up with polished performance and a good overall value.
This premium SUV aims for families that want something nicer than a Honda Pilot with three rows of seats, flexible seating arrangements, and a new and welcome touchscreen interface.
Offered as a sedan or Cross Turismo wagon, the Taycan pairs especially fast charging tech and long-distance touring comfort with true sports-car influences from the 911.
The Audi Q7 packs in an elegant cabin, smooth ride, and great safety ratings for well-rounded appeal.

The redesigned compact crossover now comes standard with all-wheel drive and 30 inches of screens.
It’s one of the better mainstream crossover EVs on sale, thanks to its balance of performance, efficiency, and value, with a TCC Rating of 8.3 out of 10.
