2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC is a high-tech, luxurious, and spacious compact luxury SUV that’s a bestseller for all those reasons and more.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Resale value only average</li>
</ul>

Driving Impressions

The non-AMG models in the 2026 GLC SUV lineup don’t put speed and acceleration at the forefront of the driving experience. Still, they’re quick, nonetheless, with the base GLC 300 capable of 5.9-second zero-to-60-mph runs, the 4Matic all-wheel-drive GLC 300 good for 6.0 seconds, and the GLC 350e plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) doing the deed in 6.3 seconds.
You might notice that the GLC 350e is the slowest of the group, despite also being the most powerful. Both of those traits are due to the presence of the PHEV system, which, although it boosts total output, also weighs enough to counteract that extra power, at least if acceleration from a stop.
Fuel Economy
The GLC 350e’s extra PHEV bits also mean it’s slightly less efficient after you’ve depleted the battery, earning a 25 mpg combined EPA rating versus the mild hybrid GLC 300’s 26 mpg combined. Both variants are on par for the compact luxury SUV segment, most earning between 25 and 29 mpg combined.
That said, the GLC 350e is rated at 64 MPGe when you take its impressive all-electric range of up to 54 miles into account.

Familiar Face

Exterior

A thing of evolution rather than revolution, the GLC’s exterior style hasn’t changed much over the years but has kept up with the times. That’s fine in our book, as good design is timeless, and the GLC is definitely a good design. Despite its smaller footprint, the GLC has a presence that immediately marks it as a Mercedes-Benz.
If the standard SUV version of the GLC doesn’t keep your visual interest, don’t forget there’s a coupe variant, too, as well as high-performance AMG models with their own, subtly aggressive style.

FAQs

Favorite Features

MBUX
The latest iteration of Mercedes-Benz’s infotainment software includes standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as “Hey, Mercedes” voice-activated controls. It’s easy to use and fully featured.
4Matic AWD
If you frequently encounter slippery conditions or inclement weather, you’ll appreciate the extra surefootedness of 4Matic all-wheel drive (AWD). Should you venture a bit further off-road, there’s even an off-road mode and a virtual “transparent hood” feature.
Burmester audio
Underpinning the enjoyment of every drive, this 13-speaker, 390-watt audio system is crisp, clear, and well worth the upgrade.
Parktronic with Active Park Assist
The GLC is certainly nimble enough, but a little extra assistance with tricky parking spots is always welcome. Best of all, this system is standard on all GLC variants, rather than a pricey extra.
Driving Assistance Package
Although this package isn’t standard, it’s another worthy upgrade. It brings adaptive cruise control, intersection turning assistance, evasive steering assistance, and more to the table. It’s a welcome peace of mind, especially when you have family and friends in the vehicle.
Augmented reality video
Another high-tech extra, this system comes with the Pinnacle trim. As the name implies, the GLC’s augmented reality video system overlays important information, including turn-by-turn directions, over a video display of the outside world, making it easy to find that hidden drive or tricky left-hander.

High-End Cabin

Interior

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC&#8217;s interior remains one of its primary strengths. The cabin is spacious, high-tech, and well-made, with excellent materials and a modern design. A 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and an 11.9-inch central touchscreen are standard equipment.
In the second row, you&#8217;ll find a generous 37.4 inches of legroom, about the same as the Audi Q5 offers, and just over an inch more than the BMW X3. Cargo space is good in the GLC, too, with 21.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats, a bit less than the Q5&#8217;s 25.4 cubic feet and considerably less than the X3&#8217;s 31.5 cubic feet. Still, the GLC offers plenty of cargo space for a few carry-ons and other travel necessities, even with both rows occupied.

Under the Hood

The 2026 GLC offers two core powertrains. The first, the GLC 300, gets a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and 48-volt mild hybrid system mated to either front-wheel drive (FWD) or 4Matic all-wheel drive. The turbocharged 4-cylinder generates 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque in both guises, and both variants use a 9-speed automatic transmission.
The other powertrain is the GLC 350e, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). It uses an electric motor, a substantial battery pack, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine for a total output of 313 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. The GLC 350e comes with all-wheel drive and a 9-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment.
4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty
Mercedes-Benz offers four years or 50,000 miles of powertrain warranty coverage, whichever happens first. These terms are typical among luxury automakers.
Safety Ratings
This generation of the GLC has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), the institute’s highest accolade. Standard safety equipment includes blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

What's new for 2026

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLC carries forward into the new model year largely unchanged with just a few package feature tweaks. Nineteen-inch wheels are now available at no extra cost.

The all-electric 2026 BMW i5 midsize luxury sedan is eminently worthy of the famed blue-and-white badge and all that entails. Maximum range is 310 miles.

<ul>
<li>M60 seats could be comfier</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

The i5 eDrive40 employs one electric motor, driving the rear wheels with a substantial 335 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. It sprints from a standstill to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds. For some context, the entry-level Audi A6 Sportback e-tron has a maximum of 375 hp and can do the zero-to-60-mph dash in 5.2 seconds.
The xDrive40 adds another electric motor to drive the front axle, making a total of 389 hp and 435 lb-ft of torque. It will get up to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. For reference, the all-wheel-drive version of the A6 Sportback e-tron develops 456 hp and does it in 4.3 seconds.
At the top of the entire 5 Series lineup stands the i5 M60, with two electric motors, all-wheel drive, plus a considerable 590 hp and 586 lb-ft of torque. The M60 hits 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, which is fabulously fast.
The i5 M60 has an adaptive suspension as standard, for a broad spectrum of comfort and sport settings. It also has rear-wheel steering (which BMW calls Integral Active Steering) helping the car track through fast corners in a spectacular manner. That said, this doesn’t feel exactly like the kind of M car we’ve grown to know and love. The steering turns the front wheels, but there’s no sensation of a real connection. The wheel also feels slightly too thick for our tastes. While we’re on this negative trail, the front sport seats didn’t feel that comfortable to us. But we’re prepared to give BMW the benefit of the doubt because they might prove to be supportive over a longer drive.
Overall, though, the i5 is smooth, silent, and fast. Even the famed BMW 50:50 weight distribution (for a great balanced feel) makes it into every i5. It also has some smart technology to help the driver, like keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front, even when adaptive cruise control isn’t activated. After a while, we felt the cooling system in the driver’s seat switch itself on. And all it takes is a voice command to perform various functions. We said, “Hey, BMW, activate massaging for the driver’s seat” and it happened straight away.
We looked for steering-wheel paddles to change levels of brake regeneration, but just found a Boost paddle instead, so that was a different kind of fun. We discovered that the key to one-pedal driving — where speeding up and slowing down is done just by how much pressure is on the accelerator, with the brakes only being used for more urgent halts — is to put the shifter into B mode.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The i5 eDrive40 has a maximum range of 310 miles (up from 295) on 19-inch wheels. That’s good, even if it’s not breaking any boundaries. By comparison, the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron stretches 392 miles, while the Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan runs for 308 miles.
The 2026 i5 xDrive40 is rated at 278 miles (up from 266). We will update this section with the i5 M60’s range when the information becomes available. The 2025 model has a 253-mile range.
Another important aspect of an electric car is how fast it can charge. The metric here is taking the battery from 10% capacity to 80% using a DC fast charger. BMW says the i5 performs this task in 30 minutes. The Audi A6 Sportback e-tron can be nine minutes down the road when an i5 driver unhooks the charging cable. However, this is still acceptable in the present state of electric vehicle (EV) technology.

Evolved Exterior

BMW has its distinct design language, which could be an acquired taste for some. But we think the looks of the i5 (and the 5 Series in general) aren’t so polarizing that they would be deal-breakers. Considering how adventurous BMW has been with other vehicles, there’s something pleasantly conventional about this car — like it’s an evolution of previous 5 Series generations. There are 14 paint choices, including no-cost white, plus a couple of special Frozen finishes. One option to add a bit of glitz is an illuminated grille.

Our Favorite Features and Tech

BMW Curved Display 
Every new i5 comes with this impressive one-piece unit housing a digital instrument cluster and the infotainment touchscreen.
Automatic Park Assistant 
This standard self-parking feature works for both perpendicular and parallel spaces.
Interaction Bar 
Spanning the dashboard&#8217;s width, this standard feature has touch-control functions for the front passenger and the ability to blend in with the cabin’s multicolored ambient lighting.
AirConsole 
This video gaming platform is offered for the first time, with 15 titles available. Players use their phones as controllers. It’s one way of passing the time while the i5 recharges its battery.
Bowers &amp; Wilkins surround-sound system 
Optional in the eDrive40 and xDrive40, standard in the M60, we’re big fans of B&amp;W audio systems for their clarity and power.
Driving Assistance Professional package 
We think this option is worth the investment. This bundle includes a Highway Assistant for hands-free (but not eyes-free) driving, plus evasive steering assistance, active lane-changing assistance, side collision protection, and front cross-traffic warning.

Classy Interior

Veganza is not some promotion at Whole Foods, but the name of a vegan-friendly simulated (and perforated) leather used on the seats, door panels, and even the steering wheel. The real stuff is available as an option.
The i5 doesn’t have conventional air vents either. BMW calls them seam vents and they’re extremely low-profile, in a line going across the dash. Overall, the i5’s cabin has high-quality materials and a restrained design that adds to the classiness. It also offers typical BMW extras like glass controls (which may not be everyone’s idea of tasteful), a Panoramic Sky Lounge roof, and powered shades for the rear windows.
Sitting up front, we really like the cushioned areas right where we’d rest our elbows. And rear passenger space is absolutely fine for an adult male of average size.
Trunk space is 17.3 cubic feet, a little less than the 18.4 cubic feet in the combustion-powered 5 Series (because of the i5’s battery), but generous nonetheless. The rear seats can also split and fold in 40/20/40 fashion.

We all know the BMW 5 Series. It’s been a remarkable member of the midsize luxury sedan class for generations. That’s human generations as well as car generations. The i5 is based on the same platform as the latest gasoline-powered 5 Series (both launched for the 2024 model year) and has an extremely similar set of impressive attributes. These include wonderful technology, a roomy and high-quality interior, and a driving experience that can appeal to enthusiasts without alienating the other occupants — a <a href="http://www.kbb.com/bmw/">BMW</a> specialty. It’s just that the i5 uses electricity to deliver the thrills and prestige.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and researching this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-cars/">luxury electric cars</a>, including the BMW i5.

The 2026 BMW i5 has a starting sticker price of $68,275, with the range-topping M60 kicking off in the region of $86,000 (our estimate).

The eDrive40 is popular among i5 buyers. It has the best range and the lowest price. We think the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a6-sportback-e-tron/">Audi A6 Sportback e-tron</a> is also well worth considering, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/eqe/">Mercedes-Benz EQE</a> sedan. Both cars have pricing similar to the i5.
Before buying a new i5 luxury electric sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. We expect resale values to be 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.

<li>Excellent tech</li>

</ul>

<li>Slight increases in range</li>
</ul>

Battery and Efficiency

A high-voltage (400-volt) lithium-ion battery supplies the spark for the i5. Usable energy works out to 84.3 kilowatt-hours (kWh). The battery fits under the floor, so there’s the same amount of passenger space in every 5 Series model, electric or not.
BMW’s electric motors are designed so they don’t require rare elements like cobalt (that would usually go into magnets). That’s another little detail that might work in the i5’s favor.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
BMW’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties both last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical among European luxury car makers. The lithium-ion battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. There’s also roadside assistance for the first four years, with unlimited mileage.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The i5 hasn’t been crash-tested by any agencies in the Untied States, but it did receive a maximum five stars from Euro NCAP. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision mitigation with left turn warning, Active Blind Spot Detection, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-keeping assistance.

The 2026 i5 can travel for a little longer between recharges, compared with the 2025 i5. For example, the eDrive40 goes from 295 to 310 miles, while its all-wheel-drive (AWD) counterpart adds 12 miles to its maximum for a total of 278 miles.

The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid brings 3-row convenience, hybrid efficiency, and modern tech in a stylish package that doesn’t break the bank.

<ul>
<li>Tight cargo room behind third row</li>
<li>No XRT model</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid is powered by a 231-horsepower turbocharged hybrid 4-cylinder engine matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). That’s less power than the bigger turbo engine in the non-hybrid Santa Fe, but we still found its performance adequate for daily family-hauling duties. The obvious trade-off with the hybrid is better fuel economy at the expense of slower acceleration.
A delightful smoothness characterizes the driving experience of the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. It’s a leisurely drive that’s pleasant for around-town errand-running and long hauls on the highway. It’s all accomplished without having to visit the gas station too often; this SUV’s hybrid efficiency allows it to drive over 600 miles on a full tank. For those times when you want a livelier experience, simply switch the drive mode to the sport setting.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid earns an <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml">EPA</a>-estimated fuel economy rating of up to 36 city/35 highway/36 combined mpg with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive reduces that rating to 35 city/34 highway/34 combined mpg. These efficiency ratings are about the same as those of the Kia Sorento Hybrid and Toyota Highlander Hybrid. For reference, the most efficient version of the non-hybrid Santa Fe gets 20 city/29 highway/24 combined mpg.

Distinct Design

The boxy Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid has a rugged yet modern look, and the &#8220;H&#8221; motif in the LED lighting is a Santa Fe hallmark. Its sharp angles, straight lines, and floating roof design give the illusion that it’s bigger than it is. Unfortunately, the rugged-looking XRT trim is exclusive to the non-hybrid Santa Fe; you can’t get that cool appearance package with the hybrid.
We’d understand if you might be confused by Hyundai offering three different models in the midsize 3-row SUV class. In addition to the Santa Fe and its hybrid counterpart, there’s the bigger Hyundai Palisade, which is also available with a gas or hybrid powertrain, and the more upscale <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/ioniq-9/">Hyundai Ioniq 9</a>, which is all-electric. We bring them up to clarify that the Santa Fe is the smallest and most affordable 3-row option in the Hyundai lineup.

Powered tailgate 
If there’s one feature we always (and we mean always) appreciate in an SUV, it’s this. Even better, this one has hands-free operation and adjustable height settings. Better still — it’s standard across the lineup.
Built-in grab handle 
Hyundai really meant it when it said the Santa Fe Hybrid was designed to be an activity vehicle, one where you might put stuff on the roof. To help you get up there is an ingenious hidden grab handle in the C-pillar above the rear wheel. It’s flush until it’s pressed, and it’s even lockable.
Dual wireless charging pads 
There’s no need to fight the passenger to juice up with this thoughtful feature, standard in the Limited and Calligraphy trims. All other models get a single wireless charging pad.
Bi-directional center console 
The Santa Fe Hybrid features a dual-level center console, the top of which flips up from the front or back for easy access from either of the first two rows. We think this is a brilliant idea.
Highway Driving Assist 
Hyundai&#8217;s Highway Driving Assist is one of our favorite and most natural-feeling systems of its kind. Keep a light hand on the wheel, and the car will automatically keep a safe distance from the car in front of you while keeping you centered in your lane.
Panoramic Curved Display 
The Santa Fe Hybrid is available with one huge screen housing the central infotainment screen and a digital gauge cluster. This customizable setup shows you just about any information you want to see, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard.
Hyundai Pay 
We’re always happy to see technology like this. It allows users to pay for things like parking and gas directly from the touchscreen while safe inside the vehicle. For example, there’s no need to swipe a credit card at a sketchy gas station and risk getting the number skimmed. It comes in the Limited and Calligraphy trims.

Versatile Interior

We’re big fans of the Santa Fe Hybrid’s features, roominess, practicality, and interior design. Hyundai offers a Panoramic Curved Display integrating the infotainment screen and digital gauge cluster in one seamless unit. We’ve found it works well, conveying all the necessary information without being overwhelming.
A twist-to-drive column shifter opens up the center console where a traditional gear lever would usually go. Now that space holds the wireless phone charging pad (dual wireless charging pads are in the Limited and Calligraphy trims). Materials are of impressive quality. With a nod to sustainability, the Santa Fe Hybrid comes with recycled plastic in the seatbacks, mats, and headliner. Fine Nappa leather seating surfaces are available. Our only gripe is that most climate functions, including fan speed, rely on touch-sensing technology rather than a physical control. At least it still has knobs for temperature control.
This generation of Santa Fe Hybrid comes with three rows of seating as standard. The more affordable trims have a second-row bench and seating for up to seven; the 6-seat setup has a pair of exceptionally comfortable captain’s chairs in the second row. These are standard in the Limited and Calligraphy trims.
Unsurprisingly, the larger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/palisade/">Palisade</a> SUV has more space for people and stuff, but the Santa Fe Hybrid still has plenty of legroom (41.5 and 30 inches in rows two and three, respectively). This is a pretty good third row, but still best reserved for children and occasional use. This SUV also has decent cargo space — 14.6 cubic feet behind the rear-most seats, opening out to a total of 79.6 cubic feet. Impressively, cargo space and third-row legroom are identical between the hybrid and non-hybrid versions of the Santa Fe.
Those second and third rows fold nearly flat, while the huge tailgate complements an equally sizable aperture leading into what Hyundai calls a &#8220;terrace-like&#8221; space inside. The result (and intention, according to Hyundai’s designers) is a place where owners can tailgate or even sleep.

Some SUVs have more space, and some hybrids are a little more efficient, but the versatile Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid is the perfect SUV for a wide range of families. It has the flexibility of standard 3-row seating, but is a little smaller and more affordable than some of its bigger rivals. Its combined fuel economy rating of up to 36 mpg means it can go over 600 miles on a full tank of gas, and its smooth ride and comfortable seats make it an excellent road tripper. We’re charmed by the Santa Fe Hybrid’s unique boxy aesthetic, and its tech features like the Panoramic Curved Display and Highway Driving Assist are some of our favorite systems of their kind. The cherry on top is its class-leading warranty coverage, enhancing the practicality and peace of mind that comes with the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid

Engine and Transmission

A 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid 4-cylinder engine powers the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. Its combined output is 231 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque. It’s not as quick as the non-hybrid, but still adequate for daily driving duties. Output is routed to the front or all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Its tow rating is limited to 2,000 pounds.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The Santa Fe Hybrid enjoys class-leading warranty coverage. Hyundai’s excellent coverage includes a 5-year/60,000-mile (whichever happens first) basic warranty, a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and a 3-year/36,000-mile complimentary maintenance plan.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid boasts excellent safety ratings, which is what you want in a family vehicle. It’s the recipient of the Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), earning the top &#8220;Good&#8221; score in almost every category of its testing. Meanwhile, it gets a 4-Star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>).
Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, full-speed adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assistance.

What's New for 2026

What's new for

The biggest change to the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid is the introduction of the entry-level SE trim. Previously, SEL was the base model. This brings down the starting price of the Santa Fe Hybrid a bit, making it a little more accessible to a wider range of buyers.
Additionally, a new Pecan Brown Nappa interior option is available for the Calligraphy trim. The Limited trim now has standard second-row captain’s chairs with optional bench seating, plus standard dual wireless charging pads. Another small touch: The SEL trim now gets third-row USB ports.

2026Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Archives - Kelley Blue Book

wagon Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is a heady mix of pace, grace, and space. And it never needs to visit a gas station. Maximum range is 279 miles.

Power, Ride and Handling

With a total of 690 hp and 582 lb-ft of torque in launch control mode, the GTS Sport Turismo can accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in an entertaining (and perhaps a little scary) 3.1 seconds. This variant also comes with the Sport Chrono package and push-to-pass feature as standard, bringing a brief 93-hp boost for overtaking. In real life, we’ve found this car’s thrust to be immediate and immense. For comparison, the Mercedes-AMG EQS has a maximum of 751 hp, but is slower to 60 mph by 0.3 of a second.
Here’s the thing about the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo — it’s not just a great luxury electric car, it’s also a superb Porsche, a fine example of the company’s expertise from the feel of the steering to the performance of the brakes. The drivetrain contains two motors and all-wheel drive (AWD). These motors can also provide torque vectoring for ultra-efficient cornering. That said, we still say the optional rear-wheel steering feature is worth considering, because it also enhances maneuverability at slow speeds.
Compared with an entry-level Taycan sedan, this GTS model has upgraded brakes and a sport-tuned adaptive air suspension. Buyers might also be tempted to take ride quality and handling to another level entirely with the Porsche Active Ride suspension for extra-fast responses that control body roll, pitch, dive, and squat. We’re always impressed by this incredible engineering feat whenever we encounter it.
If we had a gripe, it’s the feel of the brake pedal. There’s a bit of initial travel where nothing much happens, which can be disconcerting. Beyond that point, though, the brakes are wonderful. We drove a version with the optional carbon ceramic brakes and recommend choosing this (admittedly expensive) extra because the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is so fabulously fast. It’s therefore more confidence-inspiring to have such effective stoppers under one’s foot.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The 2026 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo achieves a maximum range of 279 miles. This is with the standard-issue Performance Battery Plus. We’ve found Porsche’s range estimates to be achievable in real-world driving, and perhaps even a little understated. For some kind of context, the Tesla Model S (with a hatchback) has a maximum of 402 miles. But a Taycan’s appeal goes far beyond range. The Mercedes-AMG EQS is capable of 315 miles.
According to Porsche, charging the battery from 10% capacity to 80% takes 18 minutes on a DC fast charger’s highest setting. That’s a couple of minutes quicker than last year, and the Taycan lineup was already among the fastest in this respect. Using a home charger with a 240-volt supply, a full recharge takes about 9.5 hours, which is fine for overnight replenishment.

Confident Exterior

From the nose to the B-pillars, this GTS Sport Turismo looks like a typical member of the Taycan family. Further back, however, comes the Turismo tail, more along the lines of a hatchback or wagon. We like this non-conformist take on a luxury electric car, offering a blend of performance and practicality. For a bit of extra presence, 20-inch alloy wheels are standard.
Charging ports are on both sides, which is extra convenient. A broad choice of paint colors is also available, including the option of matching to a customer-supplied sample.
At 16.3 feet, the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is only about half an inch longer than its sedan stablemate. We cover the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/taycan-cross-turismo/">Taycan Cross Turismo</a> and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/taycan/">Taycan</a> sedan in separate reviews.

Wireless phone integration 
Cable-free Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard in every new Taycan. Apple CarPlay goes deep into the car’s systems. There’s also a cooled wireless charging pad. An In-Car Video feature allows streaming on the center and front passenger screens.
Porsche Intelligent Range Manager 
A standard feature throughout the whole 2026 Taycan lineup, this will calculate the most energy-efficient route, taking into account factors like real-time traffic and any charging requirements along the way.
Porsche Electric Sport Sound 
This might seem a bit cheesy in theory, a manufactured sound meant to simulate the growl and bark of a combustion engine and its exhaust system. In practice, we felt the hairs on the backs of our necks go up as the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo zipped past us.
Burmester audio 
It’s an option, and isn’t exactly a bargain. But we think this 21-speaker/1,455-watt surround-sound system with Dolby Atmos is about the best, most detailed, most immersive setup you will find in a car.
Variable Light Control 
Available with the panoramic glass roof, it can darken or lighten the glass electronically.
Plug &amp; Charge 
Plug &amp; Charge means that as you connect to a charger, the system recognizes your Taycan GTS Sport Turismo and uses the credit card information on file for a simple and streamlined process.

Classy, Sporty Interior

A mix of luxury and bespoke Porsche sportiness distinguishes the cabin of the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo. For example, there are standard adaptive sport front seats with 18-way power adjustment (they feel ideal), plus a heated GT Sport steering wheel that we think is exactly the right size.
Technology makes its presence felt in the 16.8-inch curved display that houses a digital instrument cluster and a 10.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, while the dashboard is topped off by the clock that comes with the standard-issue Sport Chrono package.
In usual Taycan fashion, this version is a 4-seater with two rear seats (a rear center seat is optional) and a decent amount of rear legroom. A fixed panoramic roof is also standard.
Cargo space behind the rear seats measures 14.3 cubic feet, expanding to 41.4 cubic feet when those seats are folded down. And all Taycans have an additional 2.9 cubic feet of space under the hood.

Fast and fabulous, the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo is a particular blend of dynamics and dynamism, while adding a little extra practicality over its sedan stablemate. The Sport Turismo has a wagon/hatchback-like treatment at the rear, instead of a conventional trunk. And because it’s a GTS, this <a href="http://www.kbb.com/porsche/">Porsche</a> vehicle packs a lot of power and a sporty attitude, even though it’s not necessarily the most muscular Taycan.
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 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo.

The 2026 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo has a starting sticker price of $158,450.

&nbsp;

Even though there are hundreds of choices in the new-car market, there’s nothing else like a Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo. Buyers might also be interested in a Taycan Cross Turismo, especially if they’d like less or more power. One possible alternative could be the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-amg-eqs/">Mercedes-AMG EQS</a>, which comes with a hatchback and a price similar to this Porsche. Or the hatchback <a href="https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-s/">Tesla Model S</a> Plaid can be furiously fast for far fewer Franklins, although we can’t imagine a Porsche aficionado settling for one of those.
Before buying a new Taycan GTS Sport Turismo luxury electric car, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Taycan resale values are comfortably above the class average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>
<li>Incredible driving experience</li>
<li>Non-conformist body</li>
<li>Fast charging</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Infotainment system upgrades</li>
</ul>

The Performance Battery Plus energizes the 2026 Taycan GTS Sport Turismo, endowed with optimized thermal management and the ability to charge at high currents. When using an 800-volt charging station, the rate is 320 kW. To maximize charging speeds on a 400-volt network, Porsche also adds a 150-kW DC/DC converter as standard. The battery’s gross capacity is 105 kilowatt-hours (kWh), with a usable net capacity of 97 kWh.
The EPA rates the Taycan Sport Turismo&#8217;s combined efficiency rating at 82 MPGe. That translates to respectably low energy costs, but rivals from Tesla, Lucid, and Mercedes-Benz use electrons more efficiently.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Porsche’s new-vehicle warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. These arrangements are typical among European luxury vehicles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
Neither sedan nor Turismo (wagon) versions of the Taycan have been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, but an independent European test program (Euro NCAP) gave the car a maximum overall score of five stars.

The infotainment system is upgraded this year. Responses are faster, users gain the ability to download third-party apps, and Amazon Alexa can be employed with the voice-activated digital assistant. The standard Bose surround-sound system receives Dolby Atmos technology, while the optional Burmester rig also enjoys this enhancement.

2026 Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Expert Review - Kelley Blue Book

2026Hyundai Santa Fe

2026Hyundai Santa Fe Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The Hyundai Santa Fe blends distinctive style with practicality, and it adds the peace of mind of class-leading warranty coverage.

<ul>
<li>Tight cargo space behind third row</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe is powered by a 277-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). This is impressive potency for a base engine in this class. We’ve tested the Santa Fe full of children, and it never felt lacking in daily driving duties or highway passing, and it always remained smooth, comfy, and reasonably quiet. It’s an SUV that reliably does what the driver needs it do to.
Hyundai&#8217;s Highway Driving Assist system has long been one of our favorite semi-autonomous systems of its kind. It’s available here in two versions. The top Calligraphy trim has Highway Driving Assist 2 with lane-changing assistance. Basic smart cruise control with stop and go (a standard feature in the Santa Fe) is commendable, and an absolute boon in both open highway and congested traffic situations.
Most of our testing so far has been in a Calligraphy model. Still, we must give a shout-out to the Santa Fe XRT, the rugged variant with extra ground clearance (8.3 inches, as opposed to the usual 7.0 inches), greater towing ability (4,500 pounds versus 3,500), and all-terrain tires. On an off-road course that was more challenging than the type of terrain most Santa Fe owners will ever tackle, we found the XRT surprisingly capable. With its all-wheel-drive system set to Lock mode for even torque distribution, the XRT Santa Fe scampered up steep, rutted, and rocky trails and took the fear out of descending those trails with its hill descent control. Its new Mud, Snow, and Sand modes make it even easier to manage in varied terrains.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Hyundai Santa Fe is rated at up to 20 city/29 highway/24 combined mpg with front-wheel drive and 20 city/28 highway/23 combined mpg with all-wheel drive. The taller XRT model with knobbier tires returns 19 city/26 highway/22 combined mpg.
These efficiency ratings are about average for a midsize SUV. Meanwhile, the hybrid version of the Hyundai Santa Fe boasts up to 36 combined mpg, yielding lower fuel costs than the non-hybrid by about $54/month, according to <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a> estimates.

Boxy Exterior

The boxy Hyundai Santa Fe has a rugged yet modern look, and the &#8220;H&#8221; motif in the LED lighting is a Santa Fe hallmark. Its sharp angles, straight lines, and floating roof design give the illusion that it’s bigger than it is.
We’d understand if you were confused by Hyundai offering three different models in the midsize 3-row SUV class. In addition to the Santa Fe, there’s the bigger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/palisade/">Hyundai Palisade</a>, which is available with gas or hybrid powertrains, and the more upscale <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/ioniq-9/">Hyundai Ioniq 9</a>, which is all-electric. We bring them up to clarify that the Santa Fe is the smallest and most affordable 3-row option in the Hyundai lineup.

Powered tailgate 
If there’s one feature we always (and we mean always) appreciate in an SUV, it’s this. Even better, this one has hands-free operation and adjustable height settings. Better still — it’s standard across the lineup.
Built-in grab handle 
Hyundai really meant it when it said the Santa Fe was designed to be an activity vehicle, one where you might put stuff on the roof. To help you get up there is an ingenious hidden grab handle in the C-pillar above the rear wheel. It’s flush until it’s pressed, and it’s even lockable.
Dual wireless charging pads 
There’s no need to fight the passenger to juice up with this thoughtful feature, now standard in the XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trims.
Bi-directional center console 
The Santa Fe features a dual-level center console, the top of which flips up from the front or back for easy access from either of the first two rows. We think this is a brilliant idea.
Hyundai Digital Key 2 
Standard in all but the base model, this feature enables you to use your phone as a key to lock, unlock, and start the Santa Fe. Plus, you can share this digital key with up to three people.
Blind-Spot View Monitor 
Standard in the Limited and Calligraphy trims, this ingenious feature displays real-time video of the left and rear sides of the vehicle in the instrument cluster when you initiate the turn signal.
Hyundai Pay 
We’re always happy to see technology like this. It allows users to pay for things like parking and gas directly from the touchscreen while safe inside the vehicle. For example, there’s no need to swipe a credit card at a sketchy gas station and risk getting the number skimmed. It&#8217;s standard in XRT and higher trims.

Quality Interior

We’re big fans of the Santa Fe’s features, roominess, practicality, and interior design. Hyundai offers a Panoramic Curved Display integrating the infotainment screen and digital gauge cluster in one seamless unit. We’ve found it works well, conveying all the necessary information without being overwhelming.
A twist-to-drive column shifter opens up the center console where a traditional gear lever would usually go. Now that space holds the wireless phone charging pad (dual wireless charging pads come on higher trims). Materials are of impressive quality. With a nod to sustainability, the Santa Fe comes with recycled plastic in the seatbacks, mats, and headliner. Fine Nappa leather seating surfaces are available. Our only gripe is that most climate functions, including fan speed, rely on touch-sensing technology rather than a physical control. At least it still has knobs for temperature control.
This generation of Santa Fe comes with three rows of seating as standard. Most variants have a second-row bench and seating for up to seven; the 6-seater Calligraphy has a pair of exceptionally comfortable captain’s chairs in the second row. Unsurprisingly, the larger Palisade SUV has more space for people and stuff, but the Santa Fe still has plenty of legroom (42.3 and 30 inches in rows two and three, respectively). This is a pretty good third row, but still best reserved for children and occasional use. This SUV also has ample cargo space — 14.6 cubic feet behind the third row, 40.5 cubic feet behind the second row, and 79.6 cubic feet when all of the back seats are folded down.
Those second and third rows fold nearly flat, while the huge tailgate complements an equally sizable aperture leading into what Hyundai calls a &#8220;terrace-like&#8221; space inside. The result (and intention, according to Hyundai’s designers) is a place where owners can tailgate or even sleep.

The Hyundai Santa Fe fills a unique niche in the world of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-3-row-suvs/">3-row SUVs</a>. Although on the smaller and more affordable side of its class, it still brings tons of versatility with its spacious interior that has a third row of seats when you need it, and a generous cargo hold when you don’t. A potent standard turbocharged engine delivers a confident driving experience, while impressive safety ratings and class-leading warranty coverage enhance the Santa Fe’s credentials as a sensible choice in midsize SUVs. A more efficient hybrid option is available, which we review separately.
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 Hyundai Santa Fe.

The Hyundai Santa Fe is smaller than most midsize 3-row SUVs, so it’s also more affordable. Its pricing is comparable to that of a similarly equipped <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sorento/">Kia Sorento</a>.
Before buying a Santa Fe, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Hyundai Santa Fe resale value is about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

A turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine endows the Santa Fe SUV with 277 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. This goes through an 8-speed automatic transmission to a standard configuration of front-wheel drive, or optional all-wheel drive (the XRT has all-wheel drive as standard).
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The Santa Fe enjoys class-leading warranty coverage. Hyundai’s excellent coverage includes a 5-year/60,000-mile (whichever happens first) basic warranty, a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, and a 3-year/36,000-mile complimentary maintenance plan.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The Hyundai Santa Fe boasts excellent safety ratings, which is what you want in a family vehicle. It’s the recipient of the Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), earning the top &#8220;Good&#8221; score in almost every category of its testing. Meanwhile, it gets a 4-Star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>).
Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, full-speed adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assistance.

The Hyundai Santa Fe gets a few small but important updates for the 2026 model year. Few will notice, but the old 8-speed DCT transmission has been swapped for a traditional 8-speed automatic without a dual-clutch setup. A couple of safety features that are now available across all trims are automatic emergency braking with junction turning/driver oncoming monitoring, and full-speed adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality. There are also new Terrain Modes (Mud, Snow, Sand) for the rugged XRT trim and some shuffling of features in the upper trims, including the old Forest Green Beige interior option being swapped for Pecan Brown.

2026Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo

2026Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The all-electric 2026 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is an awesome midsize luxury car with a dash of extra practicality. Maximum range is 277 miles.

<ul>
<li>Gets pricey in a hurry</li>
<li>Range could be better</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Taycan Cross Turismo offers a choice of drivetrains, each with dual electric motors and all-wheel drive. The 4 has 429 hp and, using launch control, will sprint from a standstill to 60 mph in a brisk 4.5 seconds. That all sounds great and more than adequate. However, we’re talking about Porsche here, so there’s always a chance for greater muscle and higher speeds.
Like the 4S, for example, that zaps the 60 mph mark in 3.6 seconds thanks to 590 hp. Then come the Turbo models, which don’t have turbochargers, but we interpret this as Porsche’s way of saying “exceptionally powerful.”
The regular Turbo has a considerable 871 hp and hits 60 mph in only 2.6 seconds. Or the Turbo S shaves 0.2 of a second from that time with its immense 938 hp. All these power figures are the maximum available when using launch control.
As well as speed, the Taycan Cross Turismo is also adept at handling, containing and channeling all the forces created by such energy-rich motors. An adaptive air suspension is standard, with settings stretching from comfortable to sporty. The optional Porsche Active Ride suspension will smooth out bumps as if they didn’t exist and perform the same electrohydraulic magic on body roll, acceleration squat, and braking dive. Rear-wheel steering is also available, and we think it’s well worth the investment because it helps make the Taycan Cross Turismo feel nimbler through the turns and more maneuverable in tight spaces.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The best range of 277 miles is achieved by the entry-level Cross Turismo 4. The 4S manages 272 miles, the Turbo comes in at 265 miles, and the Turbo S manages 261 miles. There aren’t any other all-electric luxury wagons for direct comparison, although the Tesla Model S (with a hatchback) has a maximum of 402 miles. But as we’ve said before and will no doubt say again, no one buys a Porsche Taycan just for its range. We’ve found Porsche’s range estimates translate well to the real world and seem understated at times.
According to Porsche, charging the battery from 10% capacity to 80% takes 18 minutes on a DC fast charger’s highest setting. That compares well with other fast-charging EVs. Using a home charger with a 240-volt supply, a full recharge takes about 9.5 hours, which is fine for overnight replenishment.

Practical Yet Cool Exterior

This Taycan Cross Turismo variant brings a wagon-like practicality (and, dare we say, coolness) to the rear end. It also has SUV-like plastic cladding on the sides, and a maximum ground clearance of 6.9 inches at the standard air suspension’s highest setting. That’s still not a lot for the roads less traveled, but at least there’s a choice between this and the other Taycan variants.
At 16.3 feet, the Taycan Cross Turismo is only about half an inch longer than its sedan stablemate. We review the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo variant separately. We also cover the Taycan sedan in a standalone review.
Porsche endows every Taycan with matrix-design LED headlights and LED taillights, and charging ports are now on both sides, which is wonderfully convenient. The company also offers a broad choice of paint colors, including the option of matching to a customer-supplied sample.

Wireless phone integration 
Cable-free Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the 2026 Taycan lineup. Apple CarPlay goes deep into the car’s systems. There’s also a cooled wireless charging pad. And an In-Car Video feature allows streaming in the center and front passenger screens.
Porsche Intelligent Range Manager 
A standard feature in the Taycan Cross Turismo is that it will calculate the most energy-efficient route, taking into account factors like real-time traffic and any charging requirements along the way.
Remote Park Assist 
By using a phone app, drivers can control their Taycan Cross Turismo with this optional feature, slotting it into (or out of) parallel or perpendicular parking spaces while standing outside.
InnoDrive 
Otherwise known as Porsche’s adaptive cruise control. It’s linked to the navigation system, taking topography and curves into account, sensing traffic around the vehicle, and keeping the car in its lane. This is optional in the 2026 Taycan Cross Turismo.
Variable Light Control 
Available with the panoramic glass roof, it can darken or lighten the glass electronically.
Plug &amp; Charge 
Plug &amp; Charge means that as you connect to a charger, the system recognizes your Taycan Cross Turismo and uses the credit card information on file for a simple and streamlined process.

Spacious Interior

We’ve found the Taycan Cross Turismo roomy enough for four adults. It offers a small rear center seat as an option. We’re also impressed by the quality of the cabin materials, the fit and finish, and the combination of luxury and technology. In typical Porsche fashion, this cabin is supremely luxurious with a distinctly sporty character and, in this case, wagon practicality.
The Cross Turismo has a cargo space advantage over its Sport Turismo sibling, with 15.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats (as opposed to 14.3), expanding to 42.8 cubic feet (instead of 41.4) when those seats are folded down. All Taycan bodies have an additional 2.9 cubic feet of stowage under the hood.
