2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

Composed and comfortable, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG EQS puts a lot of electric power into a large luxury sedan.

Cons

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

For most people, the 649 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque developed by the AMG EQS should be perfectly ample for rapid, smooth, near-silent progress. But this is an AMG car, where more is always better. A standard Race Start feature means a temporary boost to 751 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque, enabling a sprint from standstill to 60 mph in a breathtaking 3.4 seconds, a tenth quicker than the BMW i7 M70 xDrive.
The AMG EQS has all-wheel drive as standard, although the most powerful of the two electric motors is located at the back, so there’s still a sporty, rear-drive kind of flavor to the dynamics, especially in Sport and Sport+ modes.
An AMG-tuned adaptive air suspension is standard, enabling a range of settings from supple to sporty. Another standard feature is rear-wheel steering, which we’ve found to work well as it enhances maneuverability and adds a certain athleticism that makes this full-size car feel smaller than it really is.
This year, Mercedes-Benz has given the regenerative braking system extra attention. It recovers more energy than before, contributing to a better range, and there’s a more natural feel to the brake pedal. Speaking of natural, we could live without the fake whooshing sounds coming through the audio system when accelerating. We are of a mind to switch them off.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
Maximum range of the 2025 AMG EQS is estimated at 315 miles. That beats the BMW i7 M70 xDrive’s 285 miles. We’ve noticed with all-electric vehicles from Mercedes-Benz that their ranges in real-life driving are close to the quoted figures.
When replenishing the battery, it takes about 31 minutes to go from 10% to 80% using a DC fast charger. Not the fastest in the class, but we’d still call it acceptable.

Efficient Exterior

Exterior

We understand that not everyone will love the enhanced aerodynamic look of the AMG EQS, but just understanding the reason behind it goes a long way to acceptance. Then there are typical AMG design cues like the vertical slats in the “grille” (not that this car needs a grille as such, with no engine to cool) and the large air intakes for the front brakes.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Hyperscreen 
A standard feature in the AMG EQS, this spectacular dash-wide creation contains a 12.3-inch LED instrument cluster and two OLED touchscreens — one (17.7 inches) for general infotainment, the other (12.3 inches) for the front passenger.
Parktronic with Active Park Assist 
In a big car like the AMG EQS, we think some help with parking is always welcome. This standard feature can scan for suitable spaces (parallel or perpendicular), then maneuver the car into and subsequently out of them.
Active Steering Assist 
A lot of our driving time is spent on less-than-thrilling freeway stretches, which is where this bit of standard cleverness comes in. Used in conjunction with adaptive cruise control, it keeps the car in the center of its lane and will also negotiate those gentle curves.
Burmester audio 
This is one of our absolute favorite automotive audio systems, especially with the Dolby Atmos feature that really brings out the detail. This 15-speaker/710-watt surround-sound setup comes standard in the AMG EQS.
Pinnacle trim 
Just because this is an AMG doesn’t mean it can’t cosset its rear passengers as well as any other EQS. Choosing this package brings heated/ventilated/massaging rear seats, and even rear-seat neck heating.
Carbon ceramic front brakes 
With so much power, speed and weight in the AMG EQS, we’d be tempted to go for this option that installs fade-free, warp-resistant, long-lasting brake discs.

Opulent and Ergonomic Interior

Interior

Because the AMG EQS is the go-faster version of a large luxury (all-electric) car, we find plenty of high-quality materials in the cabin, all put together with superb craftsmanship. Tech levels are high and many functions will respond to voice commands, even the massaging seats. And there’s plenty of space in both rows. If we were going to drive an electric car from coast to coast, the AMG EQS would be our first choice.
There’s even a decent amount of cargo space and versatility, because the AMG EQS has a hatchback instead of the usual sedan trunk, along with split/folding rear seats.

KBB Editors' Overview

Six letters, three stories. Aficionados of <a href="http://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/">Mercedes-Benz</a> know that AMG is the company’s high-performance wing with a tradition of taking regular M-B vehicles and transforming them into breathtaking driver’s machines. EQ, meanwhile, indicates electric power. And S evokes the S-Class, the archetypal Mercedes, the top dog among large luxury sedans.
The AMG EQS isn’t an S-Class with prodigious electric propulsion, however. It’s based on the EQS, a separate large luxury 4-door built specifically for voltage-derived velocity. This entails a more aerodynamic exterior design to help maximize range, while also packing a navigation system that takes charging requirements into account.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-cars/">luxury electric cars</a>, including the Mercedes-AMG EQS.

Battery and Efficiency

Under the Hood

Mercedes-Benz proclaims a “new generation of battery technology” for the upgraded 118-kilowatt-hour (kWh) power pack in the 2025 AMG EQS. This is on the high side of battery capacity, helping the AMG EQS move past the 300-mile range barrier — quite impressive for a car with this much muscle.
The non-AMG <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqs/">Mercedes-Benz EQS</a> is reviewed separately.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Mercedes-Benz has new-vehicle coverage that’s typical for German luxury marques, with a warranty lasting four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. Electric components fare better, protected for 10 years or 155,000 miles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The EQS (on which this AMG EQS is based) has not been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, which is quite common with ultra-luxury vehicles. However, it did earn a maximum overall score of five stars from the Euro NCAP program. The array of standard driver assistance features in the AMG EQS covers just about everything.

What's new for 2025

An upgraded battery pushes maximum range another 10 miles over last year’s best of 305 miles. The braking system has also received attention for a more natural feel to the pedal. A center airbag between the two front seats becomes standard, along with soft-closing doors. And owners can now use their phone instead of the usual key.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of America’s favorite midsize SUVs, and it’s getting a refresh for 2026. We expect pricing to start at about $39,000.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the most trusted names in midsize SUVs. This midsize SUV is available in three variants: the standard 2-row model with a regular gas engine, the longer 3-row <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/grand-cherokee-l/">Grand Cherokee L</a>, and the plug-in hybrid <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/grand-cherokee-4xe/">Grand Cherokee 4xe</a>. This menu of options will continue into the 2026 model year as the Grand Cherokee gets an aesthetic refresh and likely some new technology. Details of the 2026 updates are limited to two teaser images; here’s what we know so far.
<h3>Updated Exterior and Interior</h3>
The 3-row Jeep Grand Cherokee L came out in 2021, and the two-row Grand Cherokee got a similar redesign for 2022. Now, Jeep is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/jeep-teases-refreshed-2026-grand-cherokee/">teasing a mid-cycle refresh</a> for the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, giving glimpses of what the updated exterior and interior will look like.
The front end gets a pretty significant redesign to the lower front fascia, with a painted section splitting the lower grille in two. The upper grille will continue Jeep’s iconic seven-slat motif, but with new chrome inserts and sharper angles. Also, the light signature now has a more dramatic curve to its LED signature lighting.
<a href="https://www.kbb.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2026-jeep-grand-cherokee-interior-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3433948 size-large" src="https://www.kbb.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/2026-jeep-grand-cherokee-interior-1.jpg?w=757" alt="2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee interior tease" width="757" height="426" /></a>
On the inside, the center console is reworked with a new bank of HVAC control buttons below the central infotainment screen. It also has smaller audio control knobs mounted higher up on either side of the screen. The available front passenger screen appears to have gotten a bit bigger, as well.
That’s about all we can glean from the two images shared by Jeep so far &#8211; we’ll update this preview as more information becomes available.

We expect the pricing of the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee to start at around $39,000. A loaded Summit Reserve model will likely begin at about $65,000.

The sporty and high-tech 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback brings a versatile and stylish new body to one of our favorite compact cars.

The 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback is powered by a 147-horsepower 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD). In our time driving the K4 sedan, we were surprised, very pleasantly, that this base engine provides more oomph than expected. We reckon it will be more than fine for most K4 drivers&#8217; needs. And there’s always the Sport mode to further liven things up.
Also available is a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder rated at 190 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. In our testing of the sedan version of the Kia K4 GT-Line Turbo, we found it an invigorating partner. This powertrain made short work of the Texas Hill Country where we tested it extensively, with power always readily available to tackle elevation changes and passing maneuvers on narrow two-lane roads. The GT-Line trims also appeal to those who like to have a little more fun behind the wheel, thanks to their sport-tuned suspension and quicker steering ratio.
Overall, the K4’s ride quality is taut yet compliant, and we found it a fun partner for running errands and longer highway treks alike. We expect ride quality, braking, and handling in the K4 Hatchback to be quite similar to the K4 sedan.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
Using the Kia K4 sedan as a measuring stick, we expect the Kia K4 Hatchback to get around 34 mpg in combined city/highway driving with the base engine and about 29 mpg combined with the optional turbo engine.

Sporty Design

This won’t come as a surprise, but the Kia K4 Hatchback looks just like the K4 sedan, except it’s a hatchback. But there’s more to it than just a flatter roof. The hatchback’s overall length is 11 inches shorter than the sedan’s. That means it gives you more space in the garage while yielding cargo room and the same rear legroom compared to its sedan counterpart. Hatchbacks simply have tidier packaging than sedans, which is why we’re happy to see the K4 get a hatchback variant.

Tons of cargo room 
Who needs an SUV? The K4 Hatchback has 22.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the back seats and 59.3 cubic feet of max cargo space with those seats folded down. That’s comparable to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/soul/">Kia Soul</a> SUV.
Nearly 30 inches of screen 
Dual 12.3-inch displays with a 5-inch HVAC control screen in between them make for one big rectangular display that gives the K4 Hatchback’s interior a high-tech look and feel. It all integrates nicely for a pleasant user experience.
Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
Cable-free phone integration is standard across the 2026 K4 Hatchback range. We find this feature wonderfully convenient.
Turbo option 
The available 190-hp turbocharged engine in the Kia K4 Hatchback adds extra excitement to this sensible compact car. It’s easy to recommend if you want one car that’s fun, practical, and reasonably affordable.
Hey, Kia 
This is how to activate the K4’s digital assistant. Settings like cabin temperature and audio functions can be controlled with voice commands. It can also provide information on sports scores, owner’s manual information, and much more. It will even listen for follow-up questions.
Driver assist tech 
Just a few standard driver assistance tech features in the K4 Hatchback include automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist. Additional options include the Highway Driving Assist 2 system, evasive steering assist, blind-spot collision avoidance, and more.

Versatile Interior

We were impressed with the Kia K4’s interior when the sedan version debuted, and it’s largely the same in the K4 Hatchback. The obvious difference is in the cargo area, which has 22.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seats and 59.3 cubic feet of max cargo room with those seats folded down. For reference, the K4 sedan has a 14.6-cubic-foot trunk. Additionally, the flat roof of the K4 Hatchback gives the rear seats an extra inch of headroom compared to the sedan.
Most of the dashboard — in the higher trims, at least — is taken up by a glass-covered unit that spans almost 30 inches. It accommodates an instrument cluster, climate control adjustment, and infotainment. The rest of the front section is kept neat yet still has a decent number of physical buttons to save the driver from delving into menus. We’ve also noted the conventional gear shifter (instead of a push-button system), which gets our approval.
We appreciate that two USB-C charging ports come standard in the back so rear passengers can keep devices charged. If you want rear air vents, though, you have to step up to the top GT-Line Turbo.

The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/k4/">Kia K4</a> came out for the 2025 model year as the brand’s all-new compact sedan, replacing the old Kia Forte. Now, for 2026, an all-new Kia K4 Hatchback arrives on the scene, adding extra versatility and cargo space to an already great formula. It has the same engine options as the K4 sedan, which range from efficient to perky, and has the class-leading warranty coverage we love about Kia. Meanwhile, its technology and interior quality might make it feel like you’re driving a more expensive car. The K4 Hatchback is set to arrive in late 2025.

We expect the 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback to start at about $25,000, including destination fee. A loaded GT-Line model with the turbocharged engine will likely start in the low-$30K range.

Before buying a K4 Hatchback, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Kia K4 sedan resale value is about average for the segment, and we expect the hatchback’s resale value to be similar. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

The base engine in the K4 Hatchback is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder unit making 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. It uses a CVT automatic transmission. GT-Line Turbo models use a 1.6-liter turbo 4-cylinder making 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. All 2026 K4 variants are front-wheel drive.
<h3>Class-Leading Warranty</h3>
Kia’s warranties are among the best available. Bumper-to-bumper coverage is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first — this includes roadside assistance. Powertrains are covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The sedan variant of the Kia K4 has a 5-Star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) and achieves Top Safety Pick status from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.

The Kia K4 Hatchback is all-new for the 2026 model year, following the K4 sedan’s debut for the 2025 model year.
<h3>On-Sale Date</h3>
The 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback is slated to arrive in U.S. dealerships in late 2025.

2026 Kia K4 Hatchback Expert Review - Kelley Blue Book

The Ford Explorer boasts a 3-row interior, good engine options, and a variety of trims that includes the sporty ST and the rugged Tremor.

<ul>
<li>Cramped third row</li>
<li>So-so interior quality</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Ford Explorer is propelled by a 300-horsepower turbo 4-cylinder engine matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). We like this engine&#8217;s blend of peppy performance and good fuel economy, but some rivals have more refined power delivery. Rear-wheel drive is uncommon in this class, and it lends a decidedly sporty driving experience to the Explorer for a family SUV. Even when it&#8217;s equipped with all-wheel drive, the rear-bias is noticeable and welcome.
The Explorer&#8217;s base engine makes the most sense for most drivers, but the enthusiast in us loves the optional 400-horsepower twin-turbo V6 &#8211; it&#8217;s simply one of our favorite engines in this class. It&#8217;s optional in the Platinum and Tremor trims and standard in the ST. The ST model brings more performance upgrades like a sport-tuned suspension system and upgraded brakes, but we&#8217;ve found its steering to be less-than-sporty for what is supposed to be a performance vehicle.
But let&#8217;s remember that the Ford Explorer is a 3-row family SUV, so how does it do in eating up miles on the highway? Long-distance highway comfort is a strong suit of the Explorer. Its suspension is compliant and comfortable, and noise levels are reasonably quiet. One of our favorite features of the Explorer is BlueCruise, a hands-free highway driving system that&#8217;s standard in all but the base Active trim. With BlueCruise, you can keep your hands off the wheel and your eyes on the road on more than 130,000 miles of North American highways. It feels natural and is one of our favorite hands-free systems of its kind.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Ford Explorer’s 24 mpg in combined city-and-highway driving is near the top of its class for gas-only models. That’s with rear-wheel drive. Opting for all-wheel drive will drop that combined figure to 23 mpg. The available turbo V6 returns up to 21 combined mpg and still runs on regular-grade gas, keeping fuel costs reasonable. Premium isn&#8217;t required, but recommended for maximum performance in the ST.

Bold Exterior

Ford beefed up the Explorer’s exterior styling last year with a larger grille (each trim has a unique grille), new LED headlights, and lower, wider air curtains. An updated liftgate, sporting new LED taillights, highlights the changes to the tail. Pick the ST-Line, ST, or Platinum grades, and you can opt for a black-painted roof. For a more rugged aesthetic, go for the new Tremor model.

13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen 
This impressive touchscreen, included on every trim, commands the Ford Digital Experience infotainment interface. Powered by Google, it allows you to surf the web, stream music and video, play games, and generally stay connected &#8212; great for passing time while parked.
12.3-inch digital driver information display 
Also standard on every trim, the driver can customize this large screen to display whatever information is most essential at the time. Moreover, it has a minimal Mindful mode, cutting down on any info that might be distracting.
Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
Wireless smartphone integration is standard in every new Explorer, making it easy to bring your maps, music, and more from your phone to the screen in the car.
Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ 
This comprehensive array of advanced safety and driver-aid technologies includes automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and more.
Tremor 
The Ford Explorer Tremor is new for 2026. The most capable Explorer ever boasts standard all-wheel drive, an extra inch of ride height, improved approach and departure angles, a Torsen limited-slip differential, extra underbody protection, and a rugged appearance package that includes 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires.
BlueCruise 
Optional on the ST-Line and higher trims, this semi-autonomous driving system is advanced enough that a driver may remove their hands from the steering wheel when in a predetermined hands-free stretch of divided highway (Hands-Free Blue Zones). It can brake, steer, accelerate, and even change lanes on its own. We’re big fans.

Practical Interior

The Ford Explorer has a 3-row configuration and seating for up to seven. Upper trims offer second-row captain’s chairs that reduce seating capacity to six but improve second-row comfort and open up easier access to the third row. Front-row occupants have more breathing room because Ford pushed the dashboard forward with last year&#8217;s redesign. Ford added a tray beneath the 13.2-inch touchscreen for storage or to house the available wireless smartphone charger. Next to the touchscreen and directly behind the steering wheel is a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and driver-information display.
Ford made a welcome upgrade to the Explorer&#8217;s overall interior quality for the 2025 model, but there are still parts that feel subpar compared to similarly priced rivals. This is forgivable in the more affordable trims, but even the pricey upper trims have an unwelcome amount of hard plastics in the cabin. This interior has the practicality and toughness for daily family use, but some competitors are just nicer inside.
The Explorer provides a generous 39 inches of second-row legroom, about average for this class. Life in the third row is somewhat less comfortable. Low-set cushions and 32.2 inches of legroom make this area better suited for younger and smaller family members. The Explorer’s third-row legroom is near the bottom of the 3-row pack. If you&#8217;ll use that third row regularly, passengers will appreciate it if you shop around for something a little roomier.
Behind the third row is a luggage area of 16.3 cubic feet. With rows two and three folded, the maximum cargo space is 85.8 cubic feet. Both measurements are roughly average for the class.

The Ford Explorer has been a trusted name in midsize SUVs for decades. It was just redesigned for the 2025 model year with a refreshed look, an updated interior, and modernized tech, including the available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system. Now, for 2026, the new Tremor model enters the lineup, which brings rugged capabilities and aesthetics to the practical Explorer. This SUV&#8217;s family-friendly 3-row interior makes it good for daily errand running and long-distance road-tripping alike. Meanwhile, it has one of our favorite engine lineups in this segment, which includes an eager and efficient turbo 4-cylinder and a more muscular turbo V6. The Ford Explorer remains a safe and sensible choice in midsize SUVs.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the 2026 Ford Explorer.

We expect the 2026 Ford Explorer to start at about $42,000 for the base Active trim with rear-wheel drive (RWD). Add $2,000 to the cost if you want to add all-wheel drive (AWD), which is standard on the Tremor model. The sporty ST model will likely start at about $56,000.

Engine & Transmission

The base powertrain in the 2026 Ford Explorer is a 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Its output is a healthy 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Enthusiasts will be interested in the optional 3.0-liter turbo V6, which also links to the 10-speed auto, making 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. We love this engine &#8211; it&#8217;s the one to get for anyone who wants an exciting driving experience in their practical family SUV. With both engines, rear-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional, but all-wheel drive is standard with the Tremor. The Explorer boasts a maximum to rating of up to 5,000 pounds, which is about average its class.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Ford follows most mainstream carmakers, issuing the industry-standard bumper-to-bumper limited warranty coverage of three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Likewise, the Explorer’s limited powertrain warranty is the usual five years or 60,000 miles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>) awarded the current-generation Explorer its 5-Star overall safety rating. Moreover, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings">IIHS</a>) rated the Explorer with its top score of Good in every one of its crash tests. The Ford Explorer’s bundle of advanced safety and driver-assist tech includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, high-beam assist, rear-park assist, and more.

The big update to the Ford Explorer for 2026 is the addition of the off-road-ready Tremor model, which replaces the Timberline trim that was discontinued last year.
