The much-refined 2024 Honda CR-V caters to a wide range of driving needs and places highly in reliability surveys. It sports a stylish exterior, a luxurious and spacious interior, and a raft of sophisticated tech. First manufactured in 1995, the Honda CR-V is now in its sixth generation. It's built on the same Honda Architecture (HA) platform as the 2nd-generation Honda HR-V and 11th-generation Honda Civic, sharing some of the characteristics of those cars. The CR-V is easy to drive, handles well, and is renowned for its smooth ride quality, comfort, and dependability. The 2024 CR-V comes in six trim levels, half of them hybrids. They are as follows: LX, EX, Sport Hybrid, EX-L, Sport-L Hybrid, Sport Touring Hybrid. Non-hybrid models have a direct-injection 1.5 L four-cylinder 190 hp turbocharged engine with CVT gearing. Hybrids get a superb 204 hp powertrain comprising a 2.0 L Atkinson-cycle engine, two electric motors, and an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT). New for 2024 After a total redesign in 2023, the CR-V didn't change for 2024. In 2023, the car became larger with a modernized exterior, a roomier and plusher interior, and a more responsive performance in both gasoline and hybrid trims. The new hybrid powertrain reduced toxic emissions and delivered higher sustained top speeds. It also gave hybrid trims the same generous 76.5 cu ft of cargo space as gas-only models (rear seats down) All-Wheel Drive Capability With available all-wheel drive, the CR-V can handle assorted driving surfaces and conditions, including light off-road trails, snow, and rain. This makes it suitable for a diverse range of journeys and climates. The CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid is AWD by default. To optimize the CR-V for various conditions and alter driving characteristics, you can choose from selectable drive modes. There are three in gasoline trims (Normal, ECON, and Snow), while hybrid trims add a Sport mode to the standard trio. CR-V Fuel Economy (Gas-Only vs Hybrids) CR-V gasoline-only FWD trims achieve fuel economy ratings of 28/34/30 mpg (city/highway/combined), while hybrid FWD trims reach 43/36/40 mpg. The AWD equivalents are rated at 27/32/29 mpg and 40/34/37 mpg, respectively. Honda Sensing Safety Technologies The Honda CR-V features many Honda Sensing driver-assistive technologies as standard. These include Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation, Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Information (absent in the LX), Traffic Sign Recognition, and more. CR-V Connectivity CR-Vs come with a 7" or 9" touchscreen, which you can hook up to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto smartphone apps (wirelessly in half the trims). Naturally, there's also Bluetooth and USB connectivity. The Sport Touring Hybrid has built-in GPS navigation.

On the flagship 2024 Cadillac Escalade, even the base model is plush and powerful. From the Escalade's original lineup, the cabin has been filled with the best fabric, wood, and metals. Now, however, standard features include advanced comfort, entertainment, and safety technology that take luxury and power to new heights. Design The Escalade's lowest trim level is called Luxury and its standard features live up to the name so well that you might not even need to explore the higher trims. It's the only trim that doesn't have genuine leather in its cabin, but the imitation is so good that you won't even mind. You'll enjoy convenience features such as the two household-style three-prong power outlets and illuminated door handles. Comfort is naturally a top priority for the 2024 Escalade. The driver and front passenger seats are 12-way power-adjustable with lumbar support. Two drivers can have memory settings for the seat, steering column, and side mirror. The steering wheel, front row, and second-row outboard seats are all heated. The driver, front passenger, and rear-seat occupants can all choose their preferred temperature settings on the tri-zone climate control system. Everyone will be comfortable on even the longest road trips. Performance The 2024 Escalade's base model has a standard 6.2-liter V8 engine providing 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and a 4-wheel drive. The Escalade's Premium Smooth Ride suspension will keep you comfortable even while driving on rougher roads. Use the Remote Start function to pre-cool or pre-heat your vehicle before entering it. The Automatic Vehicle Hold offers relief during stop-and-go traffic by holding the Escalade in place so you can take your foot off the brake. Technology A 19-speaker sound system with AM/FM/HD and satellite radio is standard on the 2024 Escalade's lowest trim level. A 6-month trial subscription for SiriusXM is included.
