2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid Eboxer Review
The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid eBoxer, reviewed here in its Limited trim for Canada, presents a compelling, albeit expensive, proposition. While it ... moreboasts Subaru's signature symmetrical all-wheel drive and a comfortable ride, its hybrid powertrain, sourced in partnership with Toyota, delivers a respectable 194 horsepower but lacks the punch expected for its price point, leading to significant understeer. The reviewer notes the EV mode is largely unavailable for practical use, and the infotainment system, particularly the reverse camera display, is criticized for its poor implementation and wasted space. Despite these drawbacks, the vehicle offers a smooth, pleasant driving experience off the line, good ground clearance, and a fluid digital gauge cluster. However, when compared to the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid, the reviewer leans towards the Toyota, citing better overall features and space, questioning the necessity of the Subaru's full-time AWD for most buyers and the $40,595 CAD price tag. less
2026 Nissan Rogue PHEV Review
The 2026 Nissan Rogue PHEV is essentially a rebadged Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, a strategy employed to quickly bring a plug-in hybrid option to market... more. While it shares most of its underpinnings with the Outlander, Nissan has made cosmetic changes, particularly to the front and rear fascias, which the reviewers find to be an improvement, making it look less "old person" and more modern. The powertrain, a 2.4L four-cylinder plug-in hybrid producing 248 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, operates primarily as a generator, powering electric motors for a smooth, EV-like driving experience. A significant drawback noted is an audible "squeal" or "hum" from the electric motors or generator, which can be irritating. The interior is largely Mitsubishi, featuring comfortable, well-quilted seats, but lacks some features found in the Outlander, such as massage seats. The reviewers appreciate the driving dynamics, noting a quiet and pleasant ride, and the quick acceleration. However, they highlight the lack of updates for the 2026 model year compared to the upcoming Outlander and express concern about potential battery temperature issues in extreme cold, a problem noted in previous Outlander PHEVs. Overall, while not a groundbreaking new model, the Rogue PHEV is seen as a sensible, well-sorted vehicle that makes sense for those looking for an electrified SUV, offering a choice between Nissan and Mitsubishi dealerships. less
All New 2026 Toyota RAV4 vs Honda CR-V Review
The 2026 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is compared against the 2026 Honda CR-V Hybrid, with the RAV4 ultimately emerging as the preferred choice for the reviewer... mores despite a higher price point. Key advantages for the RAV4 include its superior fuel economy (44 MPG combined vs. 37 MPG for the CR-V), a significantly higher towing capacity (3500 lbs vs. 1000 lbs), and a more advanced 360-degree camera system. The RAV4 also boasts a more engaging driving experience with a more powerful hybrid system and a more refined interior, featuring a built-in dash camera and dual wireless chargers. However, the CR-V is praised for its comfortable ride, excellent sound insulation, and user-friendly physical climate controls, which are preferred over the RAV4's touch-sensitive options. The most significant drawback for the CR-V is its extremely noticeable and annoying hybrid hum, particularly in reverse and at low speeds, which the reviewers found almost unbearable. While the RAV4's remote start functionality is deemed frustrating and subscription-based, it doesn't outweigh the CR-V's pervasive humming issue for the reviewers. less
9 Second All New 2026 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
The Straight Pipes team delivers an in-depth review of the all-new 2026 Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric. They highlight its groundbreaking new platform... more, distinct from the gas and hybrid models, sharing only mirrors and the steering wheel. The Turbo trim impresses with its staggering 1139 horsepower and 1106 lb-ft of torque, capable of a 9.9-second quarter-mile. Key features praised include the active aerodynamics, the innovative wireless charging capability (though an option), and the striking interior with its curved OLED screen and physical climate controls. However, the reviewer found the interior door handles to be exceptionally poor. The base model is also showcased, offering a still-potent 435 horsepower and a more accessible price point. The review confirms the vehicle's AWD drivetrain and estimates a range of around 600 km, with a slight reduction for performance tires. Overall, it's presented as a strong electric representation of the Cayenne, albeit with some ergonomic quirks. less
Rip Honda CRV!
The Toyota RAV4 GR Sport PHEV is reviewed as a significant and well-executed iteration of the popular SUV. Reviewers highlight its aggressive styling,... more particularly the GR Sport enhancements like the wider gloss black fender arches and the distinctive rear wing, which they believe sets it apart from competitors. Performance is praised, with the plug-in hybrid system delivering strong acceleration, though it's noted that the GR Sport trim focuses on chassis improvements and styling rather than a full GR engine tune. The suspension is commended for balancing sportiness with comfort, making it suitable for family use. Interior updates, including a new infotainment system with responsive performance and useful widgets, are well-received, though the lack of physical controls for some functions and the absence of DC fast charging on this specific trim are noted drawbacks. The reviewers express strong overall satisfaction, concluding that Toyota has successfully enhanced the RAV4 without compromising its core appeal, potentially solidifying its position as the best-selling SUV. less
2025 Porsche 911 Gts Review - Hybrid 911?!
The 2025 Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid marks a significant evolution for the iconic model, integrating hybrid technology for enhanced performance. Reviewer... mores highlight its impressive 532 horsepower and 449 lb-ft of torque, delivered through a 3.6L 6-cylinder boxer engine coupled with an electric turbo and an 8-speed PDK transmission. While the absence of a manual option is noted, the hybrid system provides substantial torque fill, making it feel incredibly potent and fast, even drawing comparisons to the Turbo S. The vehicle was tested extensively at the Porsche Experience Center in Toronto, showcasing its exceptional handling on various track elements, including a Laguna Seca-inspired Corkscrew and a wet drift circle. The reviewers praised the car's planted feel, minimal body roll, and the engaging, albeit complex, driving dynamics on the slippery surfaces. The new styling, including the gills, is seen as a positive step, aligning it with the Turbo S. Despite the high price point of $227,045 CAD, the performance and the overall experience offered by the GTS T-Hybrid are considered compelling, especially for those seeking a blend of traditional 911 character with cutting-edge hybrid power. less
Toyota Corolla Cross Review
The 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE receives a refresh, and the reviewers find it to be a compelling option, particularly over its gasoline count... moreerpart. They praise the improved styling, especially the front end, and note the hybrid powertrain's adequate 196 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque, which feels appropriate for daily driving and offers a noticeable improvement over the non-hybrid version. The electronically controlled CVT is described as feeling normal, with a "real first gear." Positives include the quiet EV mode operation (compared to Honda), comfortable ride, spacious interior for passengers and cargo, and a respectable 42 MPG combined fuel economy. The reviewers also highlight the power liftgate and the comfortable, well-bolstered seats with good material mix. On the downside, they mention some wind noise, a slight hum from the hybrid system at times (though less intrusive than Honda's), the lack of a 360-degree camera, and the light steering which might not appeal to all. The paddles are deemed largely for show. While acknowledging the $35,999 USD price point might be high for an "econobox," they conclude it's a "pretty great entry-level SUV" with significant upgrades, making it a strong contender against rivals like the Honda HR-V and Subaru Crosstrek. less
Honda Prelude
The 2026 Honda Prelude marks a significant return for the iconic nameplate, presented as a stylish two-door hybrid coupe. While not a full performance... more variant, it shares its 2.0L four-cylinder hybrid powertrain with the Civic Hybrid, delivering a respectable 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque. The design is a major highlight, with reviewers praising its sharp, modern aesthetics, particularly the pearl white paint and aggressive front end, though the taillights are likened to those on a "Robocop" or modern Porsche. Interior features include digital gauges, a familiar Honda infotainment system with CarPlay/Android Auto, and unique asymmetric front seats with more bolstering for the driver. However, the rear seating is extremely cramped, deemed suitable only for children or short trips. A notable drawback is the audible "hum" from the hybrid system, reminiscent of other electrified Hondas. The Prelude also borrows performance components from the Civic Type R, such as Brembo brake calipers and adaptive dampers, suggesting a sporty intent despite its hybrid nature. The reviewers express excitement about the utility of the hatchback-like cargo area, finding it surprisingly spacious for a coupe. Overall, the Prelude is positioned as a more stylish and premium alternative to the Civic Hybrid, with its design and borrowed Type R components being key selling points, though practicality in the rear and the hybrid hum are noted concerns. less
2025 Lamborghini Urus SE Review - Daily Driving a $400,000 SUV
The 2025 Lamborghini Urus SE is reviewed as a surprisingly competent daily driver, defying initial skepticism about its plug-in hybrid powertrain. The... more reviewer found that Lamborghini successfully integrated the hybrid system without compromising the Urus's core appeal, praising the seamless transition between electric and V8 power, the responsive brake pedal, and the exhilarating exhaust notes, even in electric mode. Handling is described as exceptional, with active roll control and air suspension contributing to a comfortable yet capable ride across various modes, from electric to Corsa. Practicality is also highlighted, with ample space for children and strollers, and convenient features like keyless entry and wireless Apple CarPlay. While the reviewer notes the high price point and the temptation to use the V8 over electric, the overall verdict is that the Urus SE masterfully blends supercar performance with SUV utility, making it a compelling, albeit expensive, choice for daily use. less
Rich People Only Daily Driving an Updated G Wagon in 2025
The Straight Pipes team reviews the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 Electric G-Wagon, a vehicle they find to be a remarkably successful electric conversion of... more a classic icon. They praise its powerful performance, with 579 horsepower and 859 lb-ft of torque, and highlight the "G-Turn" feature as an impressive, albeit niche, party trick. Daily driving is described as comfortable and refined, with excellent regenerative braking options that can be adjusted to mimic a traditional driving experience. The interior is lauded for its familiar Mercedes-Benz infotainment system, ample space, and high-quality materials, particularly in the "Edition One" trim. While the exterior design largely retains the G-Wagon's iconic look, subtle blue accents denote its electric nature. The reviewers express a strong preference for the electric G580 over its gasoline counterpart, the G63, for daily use due to its quiet operation and smooth power delivery, despite acknowledging the G63's more visceral auditory experience and off-road prowess in certain scenarios. The vehicle's price point of $247,200 for the tested trim is considered appropriate for its segment. less
2025 Mercedes-AMG E53 Review - V8 Power From 6
The 2025 Mercedes-AMG E53 presents a compelling, albeit complex, package, blending potent plug-in hybrid performance with AMG's signature dynamic... mores. Reviewers highlight its astonishing acceleration, with up to 604 horsepower in race mode, and praise its "cheater mode" handling, characterized by incredibly responsive steering and impressive agility that rivals the M5 on fun-to-drive roads. The all-wheel-drive system and rear-wheel steering contribute to its dynamic prowess, effectively masking its considerable weight. However, the N-speed transmission is a point of contention, with reviewers finding manual shifting disappointing and noting occasional, inexplicable bogs in automatic mode. While the electric range is modest (quoted at 69 km), it offers a quiet commute. The interior boasts striking "Edition One" accents like yellow stitching and seatbelts, though the graphics package and fake vents are divisive. A significant drawback is the race start function's dependency on battery temperature, requiring 15°C and potentially 30-40 minutes of driving, making it impractical in colder conditions. Despite these criticisms, the E53 is acknowledged as a capable performer, though some feel it doesn't quite reach the legendary status of its V8 predecessors. less
2025 Chevy Blazer SS Review
The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer SS is reviewed as a surprisingly capable and quick electric SUV, particularly excelling in its "Wow Mode" which de... morelivers a potent 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. Reviewers were impressed by its strong acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds) and particularly its braking performance, featuring large Brembo calipers that held up exceptionally well on track. While it handles spiritedly and is more fun on track than the Dodge Charger EV, it's noted to be an SUV with significant body roll and a tendency towards understeer at the limit, not a dedicated track car. The interior is praised for its bold design options and comfortable seats, though the lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a significant drawback for the reviewers, forcing reliance on the Google-based infotainment system and potential future subscription costs. Despite this, the reviewers found the Blazer SS to be a compelling package, especially considering its $69,999 CAD price point, making it a strong contender against rivals like the Mustang Mach-E GT and Acura ZDX. less
Daily Driving a 2025 Rivian R1S Gen 2 Review
The 2025 Rivian R1S Gen 2, in its Tri-Motor configuration, presents a compelling, albeit flawed, package. Reviewers highlight its striking interior de... moresign and high-quality materials, drawing comparisons to premium brands like Volvo. The vehicle boasts impressive acceleration, with 850 horsepower and a sub-3-second 0-60 mph time, complemented by a robust off-road capability thanks to the all-terrain package and air suspension. However, the primary criticism centers on the suspension, described as "crashy" and "terrible," even in its softest settings, detracting significantly from the luxury experience expected at its price point. The innovative key system, relying on phone or key card, is a major point of frustration, with reviewers strongly recommending the optional physical key fob. While the infotainment system, featuring Unreal Engine graphics and a high-resolution 360 camera, is praised for its intuitiveness and visual appeal, the lack of Apple CarPlay and the clunky Google Maps traffic visualization are noted drawbacks. Despite these issues, the R1S Gen 2 is considered a visually appealing and capable electric SUV, though the suspension and key system are significant hurdles for potential buyers. less
4 Cylinder Making 1000 Nm of Torque?! 2025 Mercedes-AMG GLC63s Review
The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S E Performance presents a compelling, albeit controversial, package. Reviewers acknowledge the impressive performance, p... morearticularly the astonishing launch control and rapid acceleration, attributing it to the 671 horsepower hybrid powertrain derived from the C63. While the handling is lauded as exceptional for an SUV, even on winter tires, the reviewers express a disconnect with the four-cylinder engine's emotional engagement, contrasting it with the beloved V8s of previous generations. They find the powertrain acceptable in an SUV, unlike in a sports sedan, and appreciate the comfortable ride and advanced technology, despite concerns about long-term reliability and repair costs out of warranty. The exterior styling is considered attractive, especially the wheel design and color, though some find the front fascia a bit too subdued. The sound system and overall interior comfort are highlighted as positives. Ultimately, while acknowledging its impressive engineering and speed, the reviewers suggest that those seeking the traditional AMG V8 experience might be better served by older models. less
2025 Lexus LX700h Overtrail - Worth $140,000?
The 2025 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail+ presents a compelling, albeit expensive, package for those seeking luxury with off-road capability. Reviewers highli... moreght its powerful 457 hp hybrid V6, comfortable ride thanks to the AVS suspension, and impressive turning radius. The Overtrail+ trim adds valuable off-road features like locking differentials and a skid plate. However, significant drawbacks include a surprisingly small and high load floor in the trunk, attributed to the hybrid system, and a cramped third row, making it impractical for families or significant cargo. The reviewer also notes the awkward placement of side mirrors and the body roll experienced during spirited driving, even in sport modes. While the interior materials and technology are praised, the overall value proposition is questioned at its $138,804 CAD price point, especially considering the compromises in practicality. less
2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Review
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ is reviewed as a technologically advanced, albeit quirky, electric SUV. The "crab walk" feature, or "arri... moreval mode," is highlighted as its most entertaining and defining gimmick, though its practicality in everyday situations like parking lots and drive-thrus is questioned. Performance is described as good but not exceptional, with the vehicle's significant weight impacting acceleration compared to expectations and other EVs like the Hummer. A major drawback identified is the complete lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, replaced by a Google-based system that reviewers found confusing and difficult to navigate, particularly for managing messages and apps. The interior is praised for its luxurious materials and the impressive 55-inch screen, but the usability of the rear executive package controls and the third-row seating's practicality for child seats are significant criticisms. While the exterior design is divisive, with the rear end being a particular point of contention, the overall impression is that it's a unique, feature-rich vehicle, but perhaps not a complete replacement for the traditional Escalade due to space and design compromises, with the absence of CarPlay being a "deal-breaker" for many. less
Updated 2025 Toyota Sienna Review
The Straight Pipes team reviews the updated 2025 Toyota Sienna Limited Platinum AWD, highlighting its significant practicality and comfort improvement... mores. The reviewers are particularly impressed with the new infotainment system, larger 360 camera, and the inclusion of a built-in vacuum and fridge box, features they deem essential for family use. Safety is also a strong point, with the new motion-detecting radar in the headliner being a standout feature. While the hybrid powertrain offers adequate power for daily driving and excellent fuel economy (6.7L/100km), the reviewers note it's not designed for spirited driving, especially in adverse conditions. Minor criticisms include the heated steering wheel only warming the sides and the rear seats not locking down when folded. Despite a high price point ($70,678 CAD) and a year-long waitlist, the Sienna is presented as a compelling, comfortable, and practical choice for families, even being considered over SUVs. less
Fast Af Boiii - 2025 Porsche Macan Turbo Review
The 2025 Porsche Macan Turbo EV is reviewed as a visually appealing and powerful electric SUV, though it faces stiff competition from its sibling, the... more Taycan. Reviewers praise its aggressive new styling, particularly the front end and wheel design, and its impressive acceleration, especially with launch control delivering up to 630 horsepower and 833 lb-ft of torque. The augmented reality head-up display is highlighted as a technologically advanced but potentially distracting feature, with the option to disable its more complex elements. Interior tech, including the Android Automotive infotainment system and a responsive 360-degree camera, is generally well-received, though some lag was noted. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample space for a family and car seats, and the inclusion of rear-wheel steering enhances maneuverability. However, the ride quality in Sport Plus is deemed too firm for a daily driver, and the interior materials, while nice, are not perceived as being as premium as the Taycan's. The reviewer ultimately leans towards the Taycan, citing its superior comfort and overall refinement, despite the Macan's SUV practicality and strong performance, suggesting the Macan Turbo might serve as 'trade fodder' for GT3 enthusiasts. less
2025 Mazda CX-90 Daily Driving Review
The 2025 Mazda CX-90 GT Plug-in Hybrid is reviewed as a competent, albeit imperfect, family SUV, particularly for those averse to minivans. The review... moreer highlights its comfortable seating for all passengers, including the third row for adults, and the convenience of captain's chairs for accessing the rear. Practicality is a mixed bag: the trunk accommodates a Brit stroller but not larger ones, and while it offers more space than some competitors, it falls short of minivans. Key pros include the user-friendly infotainment with physical climate controls, a good Bose sound system, and comprehensive driver-assistance features. However, significant drawbacks are noted, primarily the inconsistent performance of the keyless auto-lock and remote start features, and the inability to charge the vehicle at home without significant electrical upgrades, which severely limits the plug-in hybrid's intended benefit. The reviewer also points out the lack of rear-seat entertainment and the slightly firm suspension. Ultimately, while the CX-90 is a step up from the CX-5 and a solid choice for families, the charging issue and the appeal of minivans with more practical features leave the reviewer hesitant to call it their perfect pick. less
The Fuel Efficient Benz - 2025 Mercedes GLC350e Review
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC350e plug-in hybrid SUV is reviewed as a compelling option, particularly over its non-hybrid GLC 300 counterpart. Reviewers ... morehighlight its substantial electric-only range of up to 87 km and a combined output of 313 horsepower, making it feel potent for daily driving. While the reviewer dislikes the artificial engine sound, they praise the quiet and luxurious cabin, enhanced by rear air suspension which compensates for the battery's added weight and impact on trunk space. The reviewer found the driving dynamics to be surprisingly good, with a natural feel in its various hybrid modes, though they advise against using the paddle shifters due to lag. Charging is deemed reasonable, taking about 5-6 hours on a Level 2 charger. Despite a higher starting price ($64,900 CAD, $81,250 CAD as tested), the GLC350e is recommended for its overall pleasantness, improved ride quality over the GLC 300, and the benefits of PHEV technology for daily commuting, even outshining the sportier GLC 43 for everyday usability. less
2025 Mercedes E Class Review - Mercedes Luxury Is Back!
The 2025 Mercedes E450 4MATIC is reviewed as a significant return to form for Mercedes-Benz, offering a deeply luxurious and comfortable driving exper... moreience that rivals or surpasses its segment competitors, including the BMW 5 Series. Reviewers praised the buttery smooth 9-speed transmission in Comfort mode, the refined inline-six mild-hybrid powertrain delivering ample, seemingly more than advertised, power, and the exceptionally quiet cabin. While the base suspension is deemed adequate and comfortable, the addition of air suspension is recommended for those seeking the ultimate luxury. Criticisms include the aggressive auto lane change function, the placement of the license plate, fake exhaust tips, and uninspired base wheel designs. The interior's large screens and ambient lighting are noted as impressive, though the intrusive interior camera and lack of physical buttons for certain functions like heated steering are drawbacks. Despite some aesthetic quibbles and the high price point (starting at $83,900 CAD, optioned to $97,300 CAD), the E-Class is lauded for its traditional luxury approach, making it a compelling choice for those prioritizing comfort and refinement over sportiness. less
2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally Review
The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally is presented as an off-road-focused variant of the GT model, boasting 480 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque. Revie... morewers found the acceleration impressive initially but noted it didn't consistently feel like the claimed torque figure, comparing it unfavorably to the Hyundai Ioniq 5N in terms of perceived power delivery. The vehicle's rally-inspired aesthetics, including unique wheels, stripes, and a rear wing, were generally praised, though the specific launch color was polarizing. The MagneRide suspension significantly improves ride comfort over the standard Mach-E, making it a pleasant daily driver, especially in 'Whisper' mode. However, the reviewer expressed disappointment with the lack of a sunroof and the dated infotainment system, which requires significant eye-off-road time. Charging capabilities, particularly the integration with Tesla Superchargers, were highlighted as a current mess for non-Tesla vehicles. Despite its capabilities, the $76,095 CAD price point was considered high, with the reviewer preferring it over a standard Mach-E GT but not over the Ioniq 5N. less
The Last 2025 Tesla Model Y Review Before the Robocop Refresh
The Straight Pipes team reviews the 2025 Tesla Model Y RWD, noting its practicality and ease of use as a "people mover" and "appliance&... morequot; for getting from A to B. They highlight the intuitive infotainment system, effective autopilot (though cautioning it's supervised), and ample cargo space, especially with seats folded. However, they criticize the suspension for being too harsh, the driver's seat angle for being uncomfortable for some, and the reliance on the key card or phone instead of a traditional key fob. While acknowledging its sales success and superiority over competitors like the VW ID.4, they find the driving experience "boring" and the owner community "culty." The review concludes by recommending the Model 3 over the Model Y for a more engaging drive, especially with the Model 3's recent refresh. less
Tesla Fanboys Were Right? Tesla Cybertruck Review
The Straight Pipes review of the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck highlights its polarizing design and unique steer-by-wire system as key talking points. While a... morecknowledging the initial hype has subsided, the reviewers found the Cybertruck to be a surprisingly pleasant and comfortable driving experience, particularly praising its ride quality and the functionality of its advanced driver-assistance systems, including Full Self-Driving. However, they noted significant drawbacks such as the lack of a traditional 360-degree bird's-eye camera view, the inability to disable one-pedal driving, and concerns about the reliability of the steer-by-wire system. The high price point in Canada ($137,990 CAD for the Dual Motor) was also a point of contention, making it a niche, albeit attention-grabbing, choice compared to alternatives like the VW ID Buzz. Ultimately, while the Cybertruck is lauded for its innovation and 'cool factor,' its practicality and user-friendliness for everyday drivers are questioned. less
