Lexus has become a top producer of luxury SUVs, with the competition constantly looking over its shoulder. The NX is one that is set to take over the market, with a nice redesign for 2022, it probably won’t have a lot of changes in 2023. Still, to help you gain a better idea of what to expect, here are three fun things that help you learn more about the new Lexus NX.

New Lexus NX Price

The 2023 Lexus NX starts at $38,000. That gets you the base two-wheel drive model, the NX 250. If you want the 350 or 350h, expect to pay closer to $42,000. At the top of the lineup is the NX 450h, the plug-in variant, costing about $56,000. This price is still cheaper than many of the German rivals.

2023 Lexus NX Horsepower

The new NX comes with four powertrain configurations for complete flexibility. With the base model, expect to pump out 203 horsepower from the 2.5-liter turbo-four. There’s also a 275-horsepower 2.4-liter turbo-four. Under the hood of the NX 350h, you will find a 2.5-liter turbo hybrid configuration that’s rated for 239 horsepower. However, there’s also a plug-in hybrid powertrain available in the 450h. It’s the same as the new RAV4, pushing out 302 horsepower.

Is the New NX Redesigned?

The Lexus NX was redesigned last year, for the 2022 model lineup. For this reason, you aren’t going to see a lot of changes in the 2023 model year. Last year, we not only saw a change to the size of the NX, but also in terms of power. While the new NX is expected to be mainly a carryover model, there’s still the chance that there could be upgraded technology or some new options. As we learn more, we will share it with you.

While you are at it, if you are interested in new SUVs, don’t forget to check out the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek. It’s a sleek SUV that is bound to get plenty of attention.

What the world needs is a three-row off-roading machine. Thankfully, we don’t have to wait much longer for this dream to become a reality, thanks to the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition. This off-road Pathfinder was recently debuted and it’s ready to navigate the toughest paths.

Examining the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek

The new Pathfinder Rock Creek arrives at dealerships starting this summer. Until then, we have some news to share about the most capable off-road version of the popular Nissan SUV. While it does still contain three rows for your entire family, this model is outfitted with all-terrain tires on 18″ wheels. It also features an off-road tuned suspension, along with a 5/8″ increase in the ride height, bringing it to more than 7.8″ total.

Standard with every Rock Creek Nissan Pathfinder is a tubular roof rack capable of holding 220 lbs, so all of your gear can go with you. Additional standard equipment includes a tow hitch and 360-degree camera system. Furthermore, the regular 3.5L V6 pumps out 295 horsepower instead of 284 horsepower, as long as you use premium fuel.

Inside the new Pathfinder off-road SUV, you find plenty of style. The unique upholstery design and orange complementing accents help it to stand out from other models. Plus, the interior features Rock Creek badging for a great finish.

Getting a New Pathfinder

You can’t see the Pathfinder yet at dealerships, but it will be on display at the New York International Auto Show. We also don’t have the pricing for it yet, but expect more details to be available soon. While we are discussing off-road vehicles, have you ever thought about taking a minivan down the trail? With the Toyota Sienna Woodland Edition, you might be able to.

Let us know your thoughts on these family-friendly off-road models. Is it something you would consider buying?

If you haven’t heard the big news, the GMC HUMMER EV has made its debut! This is considered the “World’s First All-Electric Supertruck,” but what is so special about this new electric-powered Hummer? Let’s take a closer look.

GMC HUMMER EV Debut

We expect to see this HUMMER with all-electric drive and a full cabin filled with high-tech features during the fall of 2021.

It is built on the Ultium electric vehicle platform. This platform is also part of the zero-emissions truck lineup coming from the automaker.

The style doesn’t look too much different from the gas-powered HUMMER H2. The first model to hit the market will be the Edition 1, priced at $112,595. This model comes with all-wheel-drive, plus three electric motors that produce 1,000 horsepower. This EV can hit 60 mph in about three seconds.

Check out the removable roof panels that are on this short-bed crew cab. Plus, this truck includes GMC’s six-position MultiPro tailgate, a power tonneau cover and a power opening rear window. It is also equipped with an air suspension system that increases the ride by six inches. The included four-wheel steering has a CrabWalk mode to move diagonally at lower speeds.

There is also a 360-degree camera that shows 18 various views, including one from under the truck. Customers can also take advantage of the Super Cruise driver aid. This system permits hands-free lane changes and driving on some highways that have been mapped out.

GM HUMMER EV Range

GM estimates that this truck drives 350 miles per charge. You can use 350-kilowatt public fast-charging stations, which provides 100 miles of range with every ten minutes.

GM plans to also introduce a model under $100k in the Fall of 2022. After that, we will see a $90k model with just two motors, the following spring 2023. Finally, in spring 2024, GM has an $80k option without the four-wheel-steering or air ride. If you want, you can order the Edition 1 right now, with just a $100 deposit.

Learn more about this electric-powered GMC HUMMER with the above YouTube video. Plus, don’t forget to check out the 2021 GMC Canyon AT4.

The current Honda Ridgeline doesn’t look much like a truck, but the automaker hopes to change that. With a first look at the 2021 Honda Ridgeline, you will see the new plans to make it look more like a capable truck.

2021 Honda Ridgeline Updates

Recently we talked about the 2021 Honda lineup, but at the time, we didn’t have information about the Ridgeline. Now, we have some updated information.

Current Ridgeline models share a platform and design with the Pilot SUV. However, a recent makeover adds more truck style. New models will have a large, upright grille, a bulging hood and flatter, taller front fenders.

However, there is a lot about this Honda pickup that remains the same. It carries over the same 280-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine, plus the option to choose front- or all-wheel-drive.

Inside the cabin, owners find a lot of the same equipment. However, there is new trim, plus an updated infotainment system.

This Honda Ridgeline also has a different tailgate and in-bed trunk that is opened traditionally, or as a door. This is a standard feature, along with the many driver-assist aids, such as adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency brakes.

There are no other unibody pickup trucks available on the market right now. However, the Ridgeline comes in second to last place as far as midsize truck sales, only ahead of the GMC Canyon. With that said, we expect to see some smaller pickups coming from both Ford and Hyundai, starting next year.

Would You Buy a New Ridgeline?

While we don’t know pricing yet for the new Ridgeline, we expect it will be comparable to 2020 models, which starts at $33,900. Is this a price you are willing to pay for the redesigned Ridgeline truck or do you like the current styling better?

We would love to hear your thoughts.

We initially talked about a Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer option earlier in the year. Then, Jeep gave a sneak peek of the production this past September. Now that we have some details, it’s time to start looking at the specs and differences of the Wagoneer vs. Grand Wagoneer.

Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer

The Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer began as a concept, but what sets these two models apart? Well, if you look at the Cherokee and the Grand Cherokee, the answer becomes obvious. “Grand” in Jeep terms, doesn’t just mean larger, but also premium.

While Jeep has confirmed that both SUVs will be available in standard and long-wheelbase options, there are some clear differences. The automaker hopes the Jeep Wagoneer competes against the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition, while the Grand Wagoneer is going to battle against the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator.

In the smaller concept, it’s clear that there are some unique design touches and extensive exterior lighting features. We don’t yet know what powertrain will be under the hood but know it will provide plenty of oomph.

However, there has been some talk about a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but there should be other options as well. Obviously, the SUVs will have a four-wheel-drive system and tons of off-road capability, just like the rest of the Jeep lineup.

2021 Jeep Lineup

The Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are expected to be released as 2021 models. According to Motor Trend, there will also be many other changes made to the Jeep lineup. Look for updates to the Renegade, Compass, Wrangler, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and the Gladiator as well.

What do you think? Would you hold out for a Wagoneer model or are you more interested in another Jeep SUV or truck? Tell us your thoughts and if you are happy about this retro SUV making a comeback.

Everyone was excited to see GMC Sierra’s Multi-Pro tailgate and it’s been a big hit. Now, we’ve received news that there will be a new Chevrolet Multi-Flex Tailgate option for the 2021 Silverado. Based on initial reports, this Chevy truck tailgate will work exactly like the GMC Multi-Pro option, but it has its own name.

2021 Chevrolet Silverado Multi-Flex Tailgate

So, when can we expect to see this new tailgate for the Silverado models? For now, Chevy states that it will be available to add to Silverado trucks early in 2021. However, the 2021 Chevy Silverado debuts next week, just without the new tailgate.

Based on the initial release video, it looks like the Chevy tailgate will be available on the Silverado High Country, but we might see it with other trim levels as well. It could even be standard equipment with some trim levels.

Take a look at the video for yourself.

Are You Ready for the New Silverado?

We expect several other updates to the 2021 Silverado. What we are most excited about is the addition three new editions: All Star Edition Plus, Texas Edition Plus, and LTZ Premium Texas Edition. These are also being referred to as packages by some dealers.

You will be able to apply these packages or editions to the following trim levels: LT, RST and LTZ. What these new additions bring to the Silverado lineup is an easier ordering experience. It’s possible to get the Chevy truck you want without a lot of hassle.

The only question is – are you going to order one right away, or wait for the Multi-Flex Tailgate? We would love to hear your thoughts about the latest tailgate upgrade. Is this a truck you can see yourself in? More information about the Chevy truck lineup is just around the corner.

There’s a lot to get excited about with the 2021 Honda lineup. There have been quite a few changes and some new features added. Some of the most notable vehicles this year will be the 2021 Odyssey and 2021 Pilot, but let’s take a look at everything new coming to the latest lineup.

2021 Honda Pilot

The Pilot continues to be a fan favorite for families in need of seven- and eight-passenger seating. For 2021, the Pilot adds a Special Edition trim level. This model includes a black grille, black roof rails, 20-inch black wheels and special badging. You can find it sitting between the existing EX-L and Touring trims.

Additionally, Honda made the once available nine-speed automatic with stop/start technology standard on all models. This transmission replaces the previous six-speed automatic. On top of that, dual-zone climate control is now standard on all Pilot SUVs.

2021 Honda Odyssey

Moving onto the popular minivan option, the new Odyssey features an updated grille and front end that includes LED headlights. All models also come with a rear-seat reminder system.

To improve on-road safety, Honda now includes the Sensing Suite of active safety features standard with all trim levels. In addition, this system now comes with automatic emergency braking, as well as traffic sign recognition and pedestrian detection.

Furthermore, more comfort features have been added. In the EX models and higher, you will receive illuminated USB ports. EX-L and higher trims get updated seats, second-row pockets, front passenger power lumbar support and unique contrast stitching.

2021 Honda Civic Type R Limited Edition

The limited-edition Civic Type R is only available to 600 customers. It comes with specially tuned dampers, Sport Cup 2 tires and forged aluminum BBS wheels. Because this model aims to reduce noise and weight, it no longer has rear wipers, rear heater ducts and a tonneau cover.

2021 Honda Insight

Not too much has changed with the Insight model, but the company did add an important safety feature. On EX and Touring models, the previous LaneWatch side camera is replaced with blind-spot monitors and rear cross-traffic alerts instead.

Possible Updates to 2021 Honda Lineup

There could be more Honda updates in the future. There is still the possibility that these models will see some new upgrades or features as well:

• Accord
• Ridgeline

As far as other updates are concerned, we do know that the Civic Coupe and Fit will be discontinued.

2021 Honda Carryover Models

However, we do know that the following Honda vehicles will be a carryover model for 2021.

• Civic hatchback and sedan
• Clarity
• CR-V/CR-V Hybrid
• HR-V (most popular Honda in 2020)
• Passport

As we receive more Honda news, we will pass it on. What are your thoughts about the 2021 lineup? Is there a vehicle you are most excited about?
