Honda Accord – stable versatility

Honda's commitment to excellence is evident in the latest Accord, showcasing its best performance. Emphasizing the trend toward hybridization, the top 4 trims are equipped exclusively with a 204-hp hybrid powertrain. The bottom two trims offer a 192-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-four with a CVT for those opposed to hybrids.

This Accord excels in both long-distance comfort and driving pleasure on twisty roads. The spacious cabin accommodates tall passengers, especially in the top trims, which offer attractive features. In a market where family sedans are becoming increasingly scarce, Honda keeps the Accord relevant and continually refines its brilliance.

Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe – luxury performance for 2024

Mercedes' innovative CLE, born from the fusion of the C-Class Coupe and E-Class Coupe, introduces a bold design concept and high performance. Fueled by a twin-turbo inline-six engine, the top trim commands a robust 375 hp, promising an exhilarating driving experience.

Inside, the CLE raises the bar with a sophisticated 12.3-inch touchscreen with intuitive MBUX software. This enhances the interior's aesthetics and ensures a seamless and user-friendly interface for drivers and passengers alike.

As Mercedes continues redefining automotive excellence, the CLE proves the company's unwavering commitment to innovation, performance, and cutting-edge technology.

Nissan Sentra – compact sedan with dynamic design

For the 2024 model year, Nissan has given the compact Sentra a makeover, introducing a new grille design, fresh wheel choices, and the enticing three packages - S, SV, and SR. Each grade boasts a redesigned front fascia with an updated V-motion grille, a sleeker lower bumper design, and new headlights.

Beneath the stylish exterior, a new Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) complements the Sentra's 2.0-liter inline-four engine, which now features stop-start functionality. This power duo produces a capable 149 hp and 146 pound-feet of torque.

These enhancements, coupled with the new transmission and thoughtful features, reaffirm the Sentra's status as a reliable and stylish choice in the compact car segment.

Audi A7 - the epitome of elegance and functionality in 2024

Beneath the refined exterior and advanced technology of the Audi A7 lies a practical midsize sedan. A 335-hp turbocharged V-6 powers this sophisticated ride, effortlessly propelling it down the road: the standard Quattro AWD system and a 7-speed dual-clutch AT ensure smooth and capable performance.

While not as intense as the 444-hp S7 version, the Audi A7 impresses with commendable speed. Its hatchback design offers practicality, making cargo storage more convenient and contributing to the A7's polished aesthetics. The interior showcases impeccable build quality, ensuring a wise choice for even the most discerning passengers who appreciate attention to detail.

2024 Tesla Model 3 - sophisticated aesthetic for EV

The all-electric sedan receives enhancements to its stability and traction controls, both inside and out. Externally, the car's appearance has been refined to improve aerodynamic performance, showcasing new "wing-shaped" headlights with integrated fog lights. Inside, rear passengers enjoy an 8.0-inch touchscreen, managing climate control and multimedia functions. 

In the 2024 year, for Tesla model 3 the existing 15.0-inch front touchscreen remains but has undergone a user interface update for enhanced brightness and responsiveness.

The Model 3 benefits from updated stability and traction control systems, optimizing power distribution and safety on slippery surfaces. These upgrades collectively contribute to an improved driving experience for Tesla's popular electric sedan.

More budget-friendly Tesla models are available now.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado – timeless design and outstanding performance

Toyota unveils a bold new Land Cruiser Prado, infusing the popular SUV with a retro and stylish appearance. Sharing the TNGA-F ladder-frame chassis, this model combines efficiency and improved driving dynamics.

The Prado retains its rugged off-road capabilities, featuring enhanced systems for multi-terrain select and wheel articulation control. With a 2.8-liter turbo diesel engine, the Prado prioritizes fuel economy with 150kW of power. This SUV delivers a robust and capable performance with an 8-speed AT and a 4-wheel-drive.

Mazda CX-5 – stylish SUV’s updates 2024

The Mazda CX-5 is gearing up for a refresh. It packs a 187-hp inline-four engine with standard all-wheel drive. For an extra punch, there's an optional 256-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter engine, a better choice than the standard CVT as Mazda opts for a more engaging six-speed automatic transmission.

Although sacrificing some space for style, the CX-5 compensates with a luxurious interior. High-quality materials and a well-designed layout contribute to an upscale feel. Notably, the floor-hinged accelerator pedal enhances driving comfort, the steering wheel is perfectly aligned, and the front-seat armrests are uniformly positioned for optimal comfort. 

Hyundai Tucson – conveniences in 2024

The 2024 Hyundai Tucson distinguishes itself in the compact SUV segment with its stylish design and practical yet upscale interior. Excluding the hybrid model, it features a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission, available in front- and all-wheel drive.

The Tucson delivers ample performance for city driving and highway passing. Although not a sports car, it boasts confident handling, reasonably crisp steering, and an agreeable ride. What truly sets Tucson apart is its quiet and refined feel while cruising, providing a luxurious touch to the overall driving experience.

2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV – pickup that redefines expectations

Drawing on over a century of Chevrolet truck engineering, the all-new electric Silverado EV seamlessly blends power and efficiency in 2024. With a remarkable 754 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque and an impressive all-electric driving range of up to 400 miles, the Silverado EV lives up to its legendary name. Escalating from 0 to 60 MPH in a mere 4.5 seconds, this groundbreaking electric pickup truck also showcases an impressive towing capacity of 10,000 pounds when properly equipped.

The Silverado EV offers a Trailering-capable Super Cruise for added convenience, marking an industry first for hands-free driver-assistance technology. The Chevrolet Silverado EV pickup is marrying cutting-edge technology with the unrivaled legacy of Chevrolet's truck heritage.

Ford Ranger - balanced blend of style, performance, and technology

The Ford Ranger, a widely recognized midsize pickup in the United States, has undergone a notable redesign in 2024 model year, introducing more striking aesthetics, improved performance capabilities, and advanced technology features. With two powerful engines, including the standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost® and an optional 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 paired with a 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission, drivers can choose the power that suits their preferences.
