Road Tests
Road Test: 2023 Volvo V60CC B5 AWD
Perhaps it’s time to revisit the station wagon as a viable alternative to its successors, the CUV & small SUV. Volvo certainly makes a strong case to doing just that and not letting the segment drift into obscurity by creating this AWD Cross Country edition.
Road Test: Chevrolet Silverado ZR2
You could not overstate how competitive the full-size pick-up market is, with this type of vehicle providing the manufacturers with profits commensurate with the out-sized dimensions of the trucks themselves. No one wants to be left behind in this battle.
Road Test: 2023 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X
Story and photos by Benjamin Yong Launched as an all-new redesign for 2022, the Nissan Frontier is in a carry-over year and particularly in PRO-4X form remains a great choice
Road Test: GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate
When you really think about it, what type of vehicle other than a large, premium truck-based SUV combines so many desirable attributes in one place? The GMC Yukon, based as it is on a full-size truck chassis, and equipped like our Denali Ultimate test unit, comes awfully close to doing everything you’d want very well – except for fuel economy, of course.
Road Test: 2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro
Sure, the current fifth-generation Toyota 4Runner is going on 14 years old now — but if it ain’t broke, why fix it? The truck-based SUV is still as off-road-ready as ever and continues to deliver practicality and fun at a relatively reasonable price point.
Road Test: 2023 Dodge Durango SRT 392
When it comes to music, I’m proud to say that when asked, I’m not one to go half-way with the typical “oh, you know, I like all genres blah blah blah”; I have my favourites, and I’ll have no problem letting anyone know why they are should they ask.
First Drive: 2022 Nissan Frontier
The Nissan Frontier is getting a full-scale redesign for 2022 – and safe to say, it’s been a long time coming. We haven’t seen an all-new Frontier since the second-gen truck debuted in 2005 and we haven’t seen a new model-year since way back in 2019. That means it will have been three full model years since a new Frontier arrived on lots, as it should be doing by the time you read this.
Road Test: 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC
The Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 has seemingly made style and refinement it’s top priority and have done a great job of exhibiting both. On the outside, the GLC 300 is a very sharp looking compact crossover with stunning body lines, an aggressive front fascia and an overall sporty look that really sets it apart from its main competitors.
Road Test: 2021 GMC Yukon Denali
GMC’s upscale Denali trim has become synonymous with bringing a touch of luxury to the truck and SUV segment. The rebuilt-from-the-ground-up fifth-gen Yukon is one of the most recent examples to receive all the latest bells and whistles that come along with the designation. Also built upon the same T1 platform as the modern Chevrolet Tahoe and the flagship Cadillac Escalade, a high level of refinement is almost a given.
Road Test: 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 4MATIC+
The GLA-Class has been completely redesigned for 2021. It still resembles the outgoing model but features a more premium look, both inside and out and is taller, wider and a slight bit shorter than before.
