With the arrival of our long-term Kia EV6, you’ve probably noticed a trend: Our garage is stacked with electric vehicles. Seven to be exact. In the past year, we’ve added a Rivian R1T, Volkswagen ID4, two Ford F-150 Lightnings (stay tuned), Lucid Air, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and now the EV6.
It’s a good mix of the EV landscape in America, and the Kia immediately stands out for its daring design, quick-charging capabilities, surprising agility, and value. This impressive mix helped the EV6 garner heaps of praise from judges at our 2023 SUV of the Year competition, where we declared, “Kia’s electric future is looking bright.” And although it didn’t take home the Golden Calipers, it advanced to the finalist round—an impressive feat considering the size and caliber of this year’s field.

2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty
The heavy-duty truck world moves more slowly than other pickup classes, and progress comes in spurts. Take the Ford F-Series Super Duty, whose recent refresh included softer-edged styling, a new entry-level gas-fed V-8, a new high-output 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8, and myriad small improvements like new bedside steps. Is it still basically the same truck as before? Absolutely, but it’s also a better Super Duty, however incrementally.
