The new Kia EV4 is a practical electric sedan with advanced technology, fast charging, and up to 330 miles of range.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Odd trunk opening</li>
<li>No hatchback option in the U.S.</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 Kia EV4 is powered by a 201-horsepower electric motor and front-wheel drive. We had a chance to drive the EV4 around Seoul, South Korea, and found the single-motor powertrain perfectly adequate for big-city driving. It’s quick enough for maneuvering through an urban environment, and more than up to the task of hustling to highway speeds reasonably quickly. Once we did get on the highway, the levels of comfort and quietness were quite pleasant.
If you’re looking for a sportier EV, Kia says dual-motor (all-wheel drive) and GT variants of the EV4 are coming at some point in the future. For now, it only comes with the single-motor powertrain and front-wheel drive. That front-wheel-drive setup can make the front end a little squirrely when driven aggressively, but this isn’t an aggressive kind of car. It’s a small EV that likes to be driven in normal, everyday conditions, and it does so with impressive efficiency and comfort.
A unique feature in the Kia EV4 that we expect to see in future Kia EVs is the i-Pedal 3.0 system. It’s a new take on the one-pedal driving system that most EVs have. When in i-Pedal mode, there are three different levels of regenerative braking within the one-pedal driving mode, allowing you to customize it just how you like. It’s also the first iteration of i-Pedal that works in reverse. We love the customizability this brings to the electric driving experience, and the fact that it works in reverse means you can be in one-pedal mode all the time.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The Kia EV4 gets an estimated 235 miles of range in the Light trim, while the bigger battery in the Wind and GT-Line trims is good for an estimated 330-mile range. These range ratings are very similar to the single-motor versions of the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model 3 goes up to 363 miles with rear-wheel drive and 346 miles with all-wheel drive.
When we drove the EV4 in South Korea, we experienced its quick charging time firsthand. Kia estimates that the standard battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in as little as 29 minutes with DC fast charging, while the longer-range battery takes 31 minutes to charge the same amount. A nice perk of the EV4 is a native North American Charging System (NACS) charge port, which is what Tesla Supercharger stations use.

Sleek Exterior

Exterior

The exterior design of the Kia EV4 could prove polarizing. The high-tech-looking front end is similar to the Kia EV9 3-row SUV, which we like, but things get a little weird in the back. It has the design of a fastback sedan, but it has a traditional trunk with kind of an odd opening. We wish the whole rear glass would lift up like a hatchback. Speaking of which, a more visually cohesive hatchback version of the EV4 is available in Europe, but it’s not coming to the States.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

330-mile range 
The Kia EV4 achieves an impressive maximum driving range of up to 330 miles. This is more than enough to cover the daily commute for almost all Americans and ease range anxiety.
DC fast charging 
When the battery does run low, the Kia EV4 boasts fast charging times. With DC fast charging, it can replenish its battery from 10% to 80% in 29-31 minutes, depending on the battery.
NACS port 
We love that the Kia EV4 comes standard with a native North American Charging System (NACS) charge port. This is what Teslas use, which means the EV4 can top off its battery at Tesla Supercharger stations without needing an adapter.
i-Pedal 3.0 
The EV4 is the first Kia EV to use the new i-Pedal 3.0 system. It’s a new take on one-pedal driving that has three degrees of intensity for regenerative braking, and it even works in reverse.
Widescreen display 
This wide display houses a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a 5-inch HVAC control screen, and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen. It all comes together nicely to give the EV4’s interior a high-tech look and feel.
Highway Driving Assist 
We’re big fans of Kia’s Highway Driving Assist System. It’s a very natural-feeling semi-autonomous highway driving system that keeps you centered in your lane at a safe distance from the car in front of you.

High-Tech Interior

Interior

The Kia EV4’s interior design is minimalist without being too sparse and high-tech without being overwhelming. The interior’s centerpiece is one wide display stretching across the dash housing a 12.3-inch central infotainment screen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a 5-inch screen in between them with HVAC controls. Don’t worry; there are also physical switches to handle heat and air duties. We found the middle screen to be a little hard to see and control, so we’re grateful for those redundant switches. There are also haptic controls below the screen for things like maps and media.
The front seats are spacious enough for most adults to be comfortable on long-distance drives. These supportive seats, combined with user-friendly controls, make the EV4 a nice place to sit in highway traffic or dart around town. It’s even available with reclining leg supports for relaxing while waiting at a charging station. Other upscale options we were delighted to find were heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a memory driver’s seat, and Harman Kardon premium audio.
The back seats are pretty comfortable as well, but it has a problem often seen in smallish sedans like this. Although rear legroom is generous, taller adults may find that the seat bottoms are too close to the floor, and their knees stick up a bit uncomfortably. That said, these rear seats are very kid-friendly, and we like that a rear center armrest is available.
Then there’s the trunk. The trunk space is pretty good at 17.3 cubic feet. However, although the EV4 kind of looks like a hatchback, it has a stubby trunk lid that creates an awkward opening. We just wish that the whole rear glass section would open up to make it that much easier to load and unload.

KBB Editors' Overview

The Kia EV4 is an enticing new entry in the electric vehicle market. This sedan may look futuristic and high-tech — and it is — but it’s also an inviting, comfortable, and practical car. A few things that make it high-tech are its 30-inch display, Highway Driving Assist, and i-Pedal 3.0 system (more on that below), and the stuff that makes it practical includes its 330-mile max range, class-leading warranty coverage, and super fast charging. Whether you’re shopping for your first EV or you&#8217;re an early adopter looking for your next ride, the Kia EV4 is a welcome new addition to electric transportation.

Pricing - Dynamic

We expect the Kia EV4 to be priced a little below the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/ioniq-6/">Hyundai Ioniq 6</a> midsize sedan, which would put its starting price at around $37,000. The top GT-Line trim could go as high as $50,000.

$73,500 &amp; up Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2025 BMW X5 M is an incredibly fast, luxurious, and capable midsize performance luxury SUV that tests the limits of what’s possible for its size.

Power, Ride and Handling

With a fantastic supply of horsepower and torque, a smooth-shifting transmission, and a race-tuned suspension, the 2025 BMW X5 M Competition is one of the most fun SUVs for just about any amount of money. BMW says the X5 M Competition can hit 60 mph from a stop in just 3.7 seconds and can carry on to a top speed of 155 mph. Opt for the M Driver’s Package, and maximum speed is raised to 177 mph. Brisk indeed.
That said, the X5 M’s focus on cornering competence does require a bit of trade-off with outright passenger comfort. That’s not to say the X5 M is too harsh, but it’s likely to be harsher than some buyers would prefer. Fortunately, that’s where the non-M variants of the X5 shine.
Fuel Economy
Gas mileage is one of the only things the 2025 BMW X5 M Competition can’t do well. Its combined rating of 15 mpg is weighed down by a 13 mpg city rating and 18 mpg on the highway. Neither of those figures is likely to impress, and the X5 M’s range suffers as a result, at 328 miles compared to the M60i’s 416-mile range or the sDrive40i/xDrive40i, which achieve 548 miles of range on a tank.
Compared to the competition, the X5 M’s fuel economy is about on par, but still toward the back of the bunch. The GLS 63 AMG is rated for 15 mpg combined as well, while the Range Rover Sport SV manages 18 mpg combined, and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (a plug-in hybrid with 24 miles of all-electric range) runs to an impressive 22 mpg combined.

Prestigious and Pumped-Up Exterior

Prestigious and performance-focused, the 2025 X5 M’s exterior is at once instantly recognizable as a BMW and yet still fresh and modern. Individual elements for the X5 M’s appearance include large front air intakes on both sides and below the matte-black grille, plus black exterior mirror caps and badges, rear diffuser, and 4-inch dual-twin exhaust tailpipes.

Monster hybrid power 
It won&#8217;t get the best gas mileage, but with 617 hp and a twin-turbo V8’s song, the X5 M’s powertrain is wonderfully responsive.
Bold acceleration 
Sure, some vehicles can accelerate to 60 mph in less time, but few are as large and luxurious as the X5 M Competition. For a face-melting family vehicle that’s not an EV, this is great.
Active exhaust system 
As one member of our staff put it, “Save your local exorcist in the nav system; that active exhaust sounds demonic.” Not bad for a hybrid, eh?
Fantastic handling 
It’s not just good for an SUV. The X5 M Competition handles incredibly well. Thank the excellent engineering of BMW’s finest, and the intelligent application of an adaptive suspension, smart traction management, and a responsive cockpit.
BMW Curved Display 
This large, high-res, colorful display sits behind the steering wheel and spans the center of the dashboard. It gives all the usual information and controls, but with a subtle curvature that ensures the driver is the focal point.
Driving Assistant Professional 
Bundling BMW’s Traffic Jam Assistant and the radar-and-camera-based active assistance of the Driving Assistant package, this $1,700 option is a smart pick for enhanced safety and easier commutes.

Premium and Practical Interior

The X5 M’s interior builds on the base model’s spacious, comfortable, and premium cabin with M-specific details like an M logo in the ambient light bar below the front passenger trim, an M leather steering wheel, full Merino leather upholstery, and carbon fiber gearshift paddles.
Behind the second row is 33.9 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold down those rear seats, and it more than doubles to 72.3 cubic feet. The GLS 63 AMG has a bit more space at 42.7 cubic feet behind the second row or 84.7 cubic feet with the second row folded. The Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid offers just 22.7/56.6 cubic feet, placing the X5 right in the middle.

The 2025 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/">BMW</a> X5 M is a midsize luxury SUV, but it’s also a brutally fast, powerful, high-performance machine with more grip than you’ll likely ever need or use. At the same time, it’s a comfortable, high-tech family hauler. In other words, it’s one way to have your cake and eat it too.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-luxury-mid-size-suvs/">midsize luxury SUVs</a>, including the BMW X5 M.

The 2025 BMW X5 M is available in just one trim: the X5 M Competition, which starts from just under $130,000, putting it in rarefied air when it comes to competitive performance SUVs. The main rivals are the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-amg-gls/">Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/cayenne/2025/">Porsche Cayenne GTS and Turbo</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lamborghini/urus/">Lamborghini Urus</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/land-rover/range-rover-sport/">Range Rover Sport SVR</a>.
Before buying a new BMW X5 M luxury/performance midsize SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values are about average for the class. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Last year, BMW launched a new V8 engine with a 48-volt mild hybrid system for the X5 M Competition, which carries forward to the 2025 model. This 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 is paired with the electric assist for a total system output of 617 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. All X5 Ms use an 8-speed automatic transmission and come standard with xDrive all-wheel drive (AWD).
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
BMW’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties are co-extensive, lasting four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is a typical warranty length and coverage for the luxury segment, although some brands do offer longer warranties. BMW also includes scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles, which is a bit better than typical for the segment. Hybrid batteries in the relevant models are covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The 2025 BMW X5 scores a 4-Star rating overall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>), plus a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>).

The 2025 BMW X5 M sees no significant changes after last year’s introduction of the new V8 and 48-volt mild-hybrid system for the X5 M Competition.

2026Jeep Cherokee

2026Jeep Cherokee Archives - Kelley Blue Book

Jeep

Jeep Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee returns to the brand’s lineup as an all-new model with rugged appeal and a new hybrid powertrain.

Bold and brawny design

Not surprisingly, from our first glimpses of the 2026 Cherokee, it looks like a downsized version of the Grand Cherokee. We count this as a win. Jeep’s teaser images of the 2026 Cherokee show a big and bold grille, slightly boxy design, aggressive LED headlights, and an available two-tone color option with a black roof. We can’t wait to see it in person.

Rugged, tech-forward interior

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee will remain a 2-row/5-passenger SUV. We’ve yet to see inside it, but if current Jeep interior trends hold, it should be a nice place with a fine balance of utility and technology. We’re fans of Jeep’s Uconnect infotainment systems and screens. And we can only dream that the wonderful, high-end McIntosh audio system available in the Jeep Grand Cherokee could trickle down to the Cherokee.

The Cherokee holds a special place in the heart of Jeep loyalists thanks to its adventure-ready capability and a legacy that goes back decades. Its life has been on pause for the past few years, however, when the model went radio silent after the 2023 model year. Thankfully, it still has stories to tell and experiences to create with an all-new model just around the corner. Jeep says the 2026 Cherokee “honors its rich history with an innovative eye toward the future.” Much about the 2026 Jeep Cherokee is still to be announced, but we know it will offer a hybrid powertrain and will slot between the larger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/grand-cherokee/">Grand Cherokee</a> and smaller <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/compass/">Compass</a> when it arrives in late 2025.

2026 Jeep Cherokee Pricing

While official pricing is still a ways off, we can make an educated guess of its starting price from its place in the Jeep lineup. We estimate the 2026 Jeep Cherokee will start in the low $30,000 range. That would slot it between the roughly $38,500 starting price of the Grand Cherokee and the sub-$29,000 figure of the Compass.
The compact SUV segment is the most popular and most competitive there is. That means the new Jeep Cherokee will be facing competitors spanning from the best-selling <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v/">Honda CR-V</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4/2026/">Toyota RAV4</a> — which will go hybrid-only in 2026 — to rivals that also have a more rugged and adventurous spirit such as the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/forester/">Subaru Forester</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-50/">Mazda CX-50</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/terrain/2025/">GMC Terrain</a>. All start in the low $30K range. Rivals such as the CR-V, RAV4, CX-50, Forester, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/">Hyundai Tucson</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage/">Kia Sportage</a> also offer hybrid powertrains, just like the 2026 Jeep Cherokee.

Engine and Transmission

Jeep has yet to reveal what exactly will power the Cherokee, except to say it will offer “a new, efficient and powerful hybrid propulsion option from Jeep.” We would expect the powertrain to have at least 200 horsepower to remain competitive with rivals. In the past, front- or all-wheel drive was offered in the Cherokee, but all-wheel drive became standard in its last model year and is standard in the smaller Compass. So it might make sense for this new model to have all-wheel drive standard as well, just like rivals the Subaru Forester and Mazda CX-50.
If the Jeep Cherokee follows in the footsteps of its cousin, the Dodge Hornet, which is available as a plug-in hybrid or gasoline-only, it will use a traditional geared transmission vs. a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

What's New For 2026

The Jeep Cherokee is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/jeep-teases-reborn-cherokee/">all-new for the 2026 model year</a>, featuring fresh design and technology, plus a hybrid powertrain. The 2026 Jeep Cherokee is set to go on sale in late 2025.

2026Acura RSX

2026Acura RSX Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Acura RSX is a midsize luxury all-electric SUV with coupe-like looks and technology galore.

Given the 2026 RSX&#8217;s underpinnings will be derived from the Honda 0 platform cars, the RSX is likely to achieve around 300 miles of range on a charge. Handling and acceleration performance are likely to be a focus for development as well, given the RSX&#8217;s namesake and Acura&#8217;s positioning as a tech- and performance-forward premium brand. A front-wheel drive (FWD) base model and available all-wheel drive (AWD) are also likely.

The original Acura RSX was an attractive sport coupe built from the 2002 to 2006 model years, but the 2026 Acura RSX is reinventing the nameplate in the form of an all-electric premium SUV. The RSX will be the second electric vehicle from the Acura brand after the ZDX, but it will be Honda’s first independently developed EV.
In fact, the upcoming RSX electric SUV will have some cutting-edge technology seeing its first application in a production Honda, including the new ASIMO OS operating system Honda showed at this year’s CES. The 2026 RSX will also be the first EV produced at the Honda EV Hub in Ohio.
Details on the new RSX are scarce at the moment, but it’s due to enter production later in 2025, so it won’t be too long before more information is available.

While it&#8217;s too early to know the RSX&#8217;s pricing with any certainty, given the vehicle&#8217;s size and positioning below the roughly $65,000-$75,000 range of the ZDX, it&#8217;s likely the RSX will start around $50,000 and rise from there with extra equipment and performance packages.

The 2026 Acura RSX will be an all-new premium electric SUV when it reaches production later this year.

Boasting plenty of advanced safety technology, impressive fuel economy, and an affordable price, the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is a standout in the subcompact SUV class.

The Corolla Cross Hybrid makes 196 horsepower, which is enough muscle to accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in just over seven seconds. That’s more than acceptable for an SUV in this class, and in our extended testing of this vehicle we came to especially appreciate the electric portion of the hybrid gas-electric powertrain. The Corolla Cross Hybrid just always seemed to have something extra to give thanks to the extra propulsion of those electrons.
Over the years, Toyota has achieved plenty of success by making its vehicles one less thing for owners to think about on the school run or the commute, getting the job done without any fuss. The Corolla Cross Hybrid SUV is like that — easy to drive, if not especially athletic. The ride is comfortable. The cabin is mostly quiet, but we agree with some of our consumer reviews that more sound insulation would be welcome.
Fuel Economy
In combined (mixed city and highway) driving, the Corolla Cross Hybrid achieves 42 mpg. For context, check out the combustion-only Corolla Cross with all-wheel drive, which returns 30 mpg combined. Driving 15,000 miles a year, this hybrid model will use about 142 fewer gallons of gas. That’s a saving of $461, assuming the price of gas is $3.25 a gallon. By the way, the Kia Niro Hybrid delivers between 49 and 53 mpg, depending on the trim level, but it doesn&#8217;t have all-wheel drive.
