2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid EX Review – Urban Crossover, Right Price

The Truth About Cars

The juice is supplied by a 1.49 All at a reasonable price. That’s where I thought this review might turn south – perhaps Kia was shortchanging EX buyers and forcing those who wanted comfort and convenience to shell out too much coin for an SX-Prestige top-trim model.

2023 Toyota BZ4X Review – Falling Short

The Truth About Cars

When it comes to reviews, the 2023 Toyota bZ4X has taken it on its oddly-shaped chin.
