The exhilarating Subaru WRX is true to form with a manual transmission and all-wheel drive, and it’s full of modern technology and engineering.

Cons

<li>Where’s the park bench spoiler?</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2025 Subaru WRX is powered by a turbocharged 271-horsepower 4-cylinder engine matched with a 6-speed manual transmission with all-wheel drive. A CVT automatic transmission with paddle shifters is optional if you must. Unique in its class, the WRX’s flat engine design comes with the benefits of a lower center of gravity for better handling, smooth operation, and quick throttle response. It makes for a driving experience that’s pleasurable at any speed, whether it’s the daily commute or a curvy back road.
The small footprint and well-tuned suspension system further contribute to the pleasurable drive this Subaru delivers. Comfort improves greatly with the electronic adaptive dampers in the tS and GT models. We had fun taking tight corners fast when testing the WRX; it’s the kind of car that feels like it wants the driver to push it to its limit. The braking also feels satisfactory, partially thanks to this compact&#8217;s modest curb weight.
As for the transmissions, some rivals (Honda Civic Si, Volkswagen Jetta GLI) have more engaging and precise manual transmissions than the WRX. But if you’re a connoisseur of fine transmissions, you’re probably getting the Honda, anyway. If you’re not picky and just want a fast, fun car with an old-fashioned stick shift, you’ll be perfectly satisfied with the WRX.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
Good fuel economy is supposed to be one of the advantages of a sport compact compared to a perfromance car with a bigger engine. However, the Subaru WRX only manages 22 mpg combined with the manual transmission and 21 mpg with the automatic. Also, premium fuel is recommended, yielding surprisingly high fuel costs for a compact sedan with a 4-cylinder engine, sporty as it may be. The Civic Si requests premium gas, too, but it gets 31 combined mpg.

Surprisingly Subtle Exterior

Exterior

For better or worse, the current iteration of the Subaru WRX doesn’t have the ostentatious, boy-racer aesthetic of earlier generations. It does have a gaping hood scoop, quad exhaust tips, and sporty wheel designs, but gone is the charmingly ridiculous rear wing of the old STI models. If you want to drive a sporty compact sedan and look like a grown-up, this relative subtlety is a good thing.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Stick shift 
Yes, the automatic is quicker, but we never fell out of love with the manual transmission, especially in a sport compact like this. We love to see it standard in the WRX.
All-wheel drive 
The Subaru WRX was a performance car with all-wheel drive long before it was trendy. Harkening to its roots as a rally car, the WRX’s all-wheel-drive system with active torque vectoring gives it better grip on dry pavement and the practical benefit of all-season traction.
tS trim 
The new tS (tuned by STI) trim of the WRX brings upgrades like Brembo brakes, a high-tech, sport-tuned suspension system, and Recaro seats, unlocking the Subaru’s potential as a track-ready performance car.
Electronic adaptive dampers 
This sophisticated suspension system, standard on the tS and GT trims, improves the WRX&#8217;s comfort and smoothness while also improving its agility. It can be adjusted exactly to your liking with Normal, Comfort, Sport, and Individual modes.
EyeSight 
The EyeSight safety tech suite, standard on every WRX trim, bundles features like automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane centering.
Starlink infotainment system 
The WRX’s Starlink infotainment system consists of an 11.6-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and optional add-ons like Harman Kardon premium audio and navigation.

Practical Interior

Interior

If you want the full sports car treatment, the WRX tS delivers. It even includes uber-supportive Recaro front seats in the upper trims. However, at its core, the WRX is a sedan, seating up to five. Easy to live with, the instrumentation and controls are sensibly placed. The seats are comfortable, and there is plenty of elbow room. Its rear seats provide 36.5 inches of legroom. This falls neatly between the VW Golf GTI and the Hyundai Elantra N.
We put the WRX through its paces as a family car — with car seats and everything — and found it to be just as practical as any other compact sedan. The tidy 12.5 cubic feet of cargo space isn’t as much as any of our named rivals, but we found it practical enough for typical everyday errands.

KBB Editors' Overview

The Subaru WRX has always been unique in the competitive field of sporty compact cars. Its longstanding hallmarks of a flat engine and all-wheel drive are in place, and a manual transmission still comes standard. Yet, it keeps up with its rivals by throwing in the latest infotainment and driver assist tech features while offering options like Brembo brakes and electronic adaptive dampers, making the WRX a thoroughly modern performance car. Newcomers and longtime fans of the sporty Subaru will both be satisfied with the WRX.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-compact-cars/">compact cars</a>, including the 2025 Subaru WRX.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

Now that the base trim is gone, the Subaru WRX has a starting price a bit higher than its closest rivals, like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic/">Honda Civic Si</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/elantra-n/">Hyundai Elantra N</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/jetta-gli/">Volkswagen Jetta GLI</a>. However, it&#8217;s still a good value in practical performance cars.
Before buying a WRX, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Subaru WRX resale value is above average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

Every 2025 Subaru WRX is powered by a turbocharged 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine rated at 271 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed to all four wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. A CVT automatic is mandatory on the comfort-oriented GT trim and optional on all other trims.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Subaru protects the WRX with a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. A 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty is also standard. This is about typical for new cars from mainstream manufacturers.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) awarded the Subaru WRX its highest 5-star overall safety rating. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) has awarded the Subaru WRX a Top Safety Pick award. Subaru includes EyeSight Driver Assist Technology as standard regardless of transmission. This bundle of advanced safety tech includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane centering.

What's new for

The TR trim introduced to the WRX lineup last year is already gone and replaced by the sportier and pricier <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2025-subaru-wrx-ts-pairs-stick-with-sporty-suspension/">tS</a> [sic] trim. The tS stands for “Tuned by STI,” Subaru’s performance division. Compared to last year’s TR performance trim, the tS gets even better Brembo brakes, blue interior accents, a digital gauge cluster, and electronically controlled dampers with four modes: Comfort, Normal, Sport, and Individual. This high-tech suspension system used to be exclusive to the GT trim, which comes exclusively with an automatic transmission. The introduction of the tS trim means you can now get a WRX with the really good suspension and a stick shift.
Also, the WRX&#8217;s eponymous base trim <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2025-subaru-wrx-drops-base-model-now-starts-at-36920/">has been discontinued</a>, driving up the starting price. The new base trim is the WRX Premium.

The 2025 Maserati GranTurismo and all-electric GranTurismo Folgore coupes are luxurious grand tourers with lashings of style.

In Modena trim, the Maserati GranTurismo produces a perfectly energetic 483 hp from its turbocharged 6-cylinder engine. It will sprint from a standstill to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. That’s fast in anyone’s book. And the 542-hp Trofeo version shaves nearly half a second from that time. Then again, a BMW M8 Competition Coupe has 617 hp and does the dash in three seconds flat, while the Porsche 911 Turbo packs 576 hp and can claim a time of 2.7 seconds.
A standard adaptive suspension allows the GranTurismo to transform from a comfortable cruiser to a precise corner carver. All-wheel drive (also standard) enhances traction.
Maserati says the 751-hp (or 818-hp, in boost mode) GranTurismo Folgore can hit 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. Lightning, indeed.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
If this matters, the Modena and Trofeo models are more frugal with premium gasoline than the BMW M8 Competition Coupe and Porsche 911 Turbo. The Maserati cars achieve 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving, while their German rivals both return 17 mpg combined.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The GranTurismo Folgore is capable of traveling 233 miles between charges. A few luxury electric vehicles can exceed 300 miles, but they’re sedans. Maserati says the battery can go from 20% capacity to 80% in 18 minutes using a DC fast charger. If the starting-off point had been 10%, that would have put the Folgore level with most other top-notch EVs. Looking at it another way, the company says the car can take on 48 miles of range in five minutes.

Tasteful Exterior

The GranTurismo definitely follows the classic coupe styling formula. We’re not criticizing, though. If we walked into our garage every morning and saw this ready to roll, we’d compliment ourselves on our good taste in cars.
The only real visual difference between the gasoline and electric models is the Folgore badge on each front fender, just above that hallmark trio of air vents.

Head-up display 
Admittedly, plenty of cars offer the option of a head-up display. Yet that doesn’t stop us from liking them and finding them extremely useful because we don’t have to look away from the road ahead. This feature is part of a Tech Assistance package that also includes a digital rearview mirror &#8212; a good thing to have in a coupe.
Sonus Faber audio 
A 19-speaker system from Italian maker Sonus Faber is an option in every GranTurismo variant.
Comfort package 
This optional bundle brings ventilated front seats and hands-free tailgate operation. Maserati isn’t exactly bending over backwards to provide value for money, but we’d probably choose this if we were buying a new GranTurismo.
Maserati aura 
Most people think of Ferrari and Lamborghini when conversation turns to exotic Italian cars. They’re wonderful, of course, but we also like the left-field/less-obvious aspect of Maserati. That trident badge in the grille has its own heritage, and we love the distinctly Italian styling overall.
Powertrain variety 
We always like to see variety under the hood, even in a super-premium coupe like the GranTurismo. We appreciate that this Maserati is available with either gasoline or electric power, and the two distinct tunings of the turbo V6 add even more choice.

Fine Interior

Maserati does this luxury sports car thing really well. The cabin steers a finely judged line between modernity and tradition. There are two screens in the center console, plus a digital driver information display, and the entire dash keeps clutter to a contemporary minimum. Yet there’s diamond-stitched leather upholstery as standard &#8212; as it should be for this price. We love the engine start button set into the steering wheel &#8212; it looks exciting, like a race car’s. Oh, and the all-electric Folgore comes with sustainable simulated leather.
In a typical coupe, the front seats are fine, and the back seats are usually awful. That’s not the case with the GranTurismo. Through ingenious packaging, there’s enough space for four adults &#8212; plus some of their luggage. The trunk area is 10.9 cubic feet, about the same as the Genesis G70 luxury compact sedan. Or 9.5 cubic feet in the Folgore &#8212; that battery has to go somewhere.

In its second year of existence, this current generation of the GranTurismo luxury coupe continues to offer two gasoline versions and an all-electric variant &#8212; the Folgore, which gets its name from the Italian word for lightning. For those buyers seeking automotive beauty, while steering clear of the more obvious mainstream choices, the GranTurismo is an intriguing choice. <a href="http://www.kbb.com/maserati/">Maserati</a> has created a powerful grand tourer that’s completely modern yet still evocative of gorgeous Italian car designs from the past.

We expect the 2025 Maserati GranTurismo to start at around $160,000. The all-electric 2025 Maserati GranTurismo Folgore has a starting sticker price of $193,995.

&nbsp;

The GranTurismo faces some highly desirable and capable competition, like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/m8/">BMW M8</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/911/">Porsche 911</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/lc/">Lexus LC</a>, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-amg-gt/">Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe</a> &#8212; all beginning below this Maserati. If anyone feels like spending about twice as much as a GranTurismo Modena, there’s the Bentley Continental GT.
Electric luxury coupes aren’t so numerous. Most luxury EVs are sedans, yet we think someone considering a GranTurismo Folgore might also like to check out the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/rs-e-tron-gt/">Audi RS e-tron GT Performance</a>. Maybe a high-level version of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/taycan/">Porsche Taycan</a>. Or perhaps a Rolls-Royce Spectre coupe might be tempting, with a range of 277 miles and a price around the half-million mark.

Gasoline-powered versions of the 2025 GranTurismo coupe employ a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. The Modena develops 483 horsepower and 361 lb-ft of torque, while the Trofeo is boosted to 542 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. In both instances, an 8-speed automatic transmission sends energy to an all-wheel drive system.
The GranTurismo Folgore has three electric motors making a massive 751 horsepower and 995 lb-ft of torque in total, with 818 hp available in boost mode. All-wheel drive is standard here as well.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Maserati’s new vehicle and powertrain warranties both last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical among European luxury car makers. The Folgore’s battery pack is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
At the time of compiling this review, the GranTurismo had not been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States or Europe. That’s common with expensive vehicles that only sell in relatively small numbers. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. Sadly, blind-spot monitoring is part of an optional package of driver assistance features.

We’re not anticipating any significant changes to the GranTurismo this year.

2025Ford Expedition MAX

2025Ford Expedition MAX Archives - Kelley Blue Book

suv Archives - Kelley Blue Book

$63,500 - $73,499

$63,500 - $73,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The full-size, 3-row Ford Expedition MAX is the blue oval’s biggest, most family-friendly SUV, and it’s all-new for 2025.

<ul>
<li>Pricey upper trims</li>
<li>No Tremor trim</li>
</ul>

Although the Ford Expedition MAX has entered a new generation, it carried over the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine that powered the previous generation. However, the new standard tuning makes 400 horsepower, and it’s upgradeable to 440 hp. A 10-speed automatic transmission sends output to the rear or all four wheels.
We expect the new Expedition MAX to drive not unlike the outgoing generation. If we’re right, the 2025 Ford Expedition MAX will provide plentiful power, even with a full load of passengers and a boat in tow, but with the ponderous handling that comes with the territory in this class. At the end of the day, the Expedition MAX is a big truck, and it drives like one, although the independent rear suspension from the previous generation helped with smoothness and comfort for the backseat passengers.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
We expect the new Expedition MAX&#8217;s fuel economy to be similar to the old one since the same EcoBoost engine is under the hood. The 2024 model was rated at 17 city/23 highway/19 combined mpg with rear-wheel drive. Subtract one from each of those numbers for the 4-wheel drive models.
These fuel economy ratings are about average for this class, but the diesel versions of the Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon XL are more efficient. The Jeep Wagoneer L, also powered by a turbo 6-cylinder, is about as efficient as the Expedition MAX. The fact that this Ford runs on regular-grade gas helps keep the fuel costs manageable, the optional 6.2-liter V8 in its GM rivals requires premium.

Imposing Exterior

The exterior design of the Ford Expedition MAX strikes a nice balance of modern and traditional. It’s satisfyingly boxy, but a handsome light signature and stylish wheels make it look modern. The look changes quite a bit throughout the lineup; the Active is humble yet stylish, the Platinum looks fancy, and the King Ranch is like a cowboy wearing his Sunday best.
The Ford Split Gate is a new, unique exterior feature of the Ford Expedition MAX. This class-exclusive split liftgate has a clamshell design, with the bottom part folding down like a truck’s tailgate. That means you can open the hatch from the driver’s seat and not worry about a bottle of wine rolling out and smashing on the garage floor. A Cargo Tailgate Manager option integrates a serving table and a backrest for the split gate, making the Expedition MAX the ultimate tailgating SUV.

Ford Split Gate 
The Ford Split Gate makes the Expedition MAX the only full-size SUV in its class with a split tailgate. We love the convenience and versatility it brings to this family SUV
Towing muscle 
The Ford Expedition MAX is among the best in its class when it comes to towing. With a max tow rating of up to 9,600 pounds, it’s ready and willing to pull boats, campers, and a wide range of other toys.
BlueCruise 
BlueCruise is Ford’s hands-free highway driving system, and it’s one of our favorites. It allows for safe and relaxed hands-off-the-wheel, eyes-on-the-road driving on over 130,000 miles of North American highways. It’s standard on the King Ranch and optional on all other trims.
Ford Digital Experience 
The Ford Digital Experience consists of a 24-inch panoramic display working in concert with a 13.2-inch central infotainment display. Wireless smartphone connectivity, crisp graphics, and a user-friendly interface make for a pleasant experience.
360-degree zone lighting 
A nice touch of the Ford Expedition MAX is optional zone lighting all around the exterior of the SUV. It can project light in any direction, which is helpful for setting up a campsite or just lighting the way in a dark parking lot.
Luxury trims 
The Western-inspired King Ranch trim and the fancy Platinum Ultimate package turn the Expedition MAX into a luxury SUV with features like BlueCruise, massaging leather seats, a High-Output engine, and a B&amp;O premium audio system with up to 22 speakers.

Vast Interior

Historically, some full-size SUVs have had interior dimensions that don’t feel so full-size, especially in the third row. However, clever packaging in the Ford Expedition MAX yields a truly massive interior with adult-friendly seating in all three rows. In fact, it has more third-row legroom than the GMC Yukon XL or the Jeep Wagoneer L. There’s also plenty of cargo space to boot, and the second- and third-row seats all fold flat creating an enormous cargo hold with a flat floor.
Interior materials get nicer as you work your way into pricier trims. All but the base Active trim have leather seats, and the King Ranch model boasts what Ford calls Mesa Del Rio leather with Kingsville stitching. A fully loaded Expedition MAX feels like a luxury SUV inside, but it’s also priced like one.
The new Expedition MAX has a unique screen arrangement. A large 24-inch display is perched on the dash in front of the driver, serving as a digital gauge cluster and an infotainment readout. But that’s not meant to be tapped with your fingers; a more traditional 13.2-inch infotainment display is on the center stack for controlling your maps, music, and other functions. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard.

The Ford Expedition MAX has consistently been one of our favorite entries in a competitive class of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-full-size-suvs/">full-size SUVs</a>. Its vast interior, impressive towing muscle, luxurious options, and surprisingly reasonable fuel costs make it good at just about everything that’s important to families who need one rig that can do it all. The Expedition MAX enters a new generation for 2025 with updated styling inside and out, a clever split liftgate, and the latest in safety and infotainment technology. Load up the whole crew; everyone’s going to enjoy the ride.
&nbsp;

The Ford Expedition MAX is priced on the higher side of the full-size SUV class, close to a similarly equipped <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/yukon-xl/">GMC Yukon XL</a>. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/suburban/">Chevy Suburban</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/wagoneer-l/">Jeep Wagoneer L</a> are a bit more affordable.
Before buying an Expedition MAX, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. The Ford Expedition MAX resale value is above average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Every 2025 Ford Expedition MAX is powered by a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The standard tuning produces 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque, but a High-Output version is available, making 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. Like all of its rivals, rear-wheel drive is standard, and 4-wheel drive is optional.
<h3>Warranty</h3>
Ford’s new vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. These are typical terms among mainstream manufacturers.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The new generation of the Ford Expedition MAX has not yet been crash-tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings">IIHS</a>) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>). Its standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera, and parking sensors.

The Ford Expedition MAX is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2025-ford-expedition-gets-new-screen-tech-tremor-model/">fully redesigned</a> for 2025. In addition to the new exterior and interior designs, a few of the highlights of the new generation are a new infotainment system, wider availability of the BlueCruise hands-free driving system (now either optional or standard on every trim), and the class-exclusive Ford Split Gate. Notably, the standard-wheelbase Expedition has a new off-road-ready Tremor trim, but it’s not available with the extended Expedition MAX variant.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQB is a stylish, capable luxury electric SUV with available 3-row seating and lots of modern tech.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQB’s powertrain has three versions. The EQB 250+ is the entry point, with 188 horsepower and front-wheel drive (FWD). This SUV is an EV, so despite the seemingly small horsepower figure, it feels peppy thanks to 284 lb-ft of torque. The EQB 250+ sprints from zero to 60 mph in an estimated 8.5 seconds, but whatever the number, it hasn’t felt slow in our testing.
At the midpoint of the EQB lineup, you’ll find the EQB 300 4Matic. As you may surmise, the 4Matic in the name means it comes with all-wheel drive (AWD). The extra pair of drive wheels also includes another motor, for a total of two. According to Mercedes, this dual-motor EQB variant puts out 225 hp and can accelerate from a stop to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds. Here, the extra power yields a sense of sportiness, and the all-wheel drive is welcome in bad weather.
The most powerful EQB is the 288-hp EQB 350 4Matic, which also has standard all-wheel drive and dual motors. Its 384 lb-ft torque output enables the EQB to accelerate to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds.
Our time behind the wheel has shown that all three versions demonstrate Mercedes-Benz’s characteristic unflappable driving feel, just like their other “normal” non-electric luxury SUVs, with the bonus of instant-on electric torque when required.

Traditional SUV Shape

Although it shares some of its structure with the gasoline-powered GLB, the EQB is visually quite different, thanks partly to last year’s aesthetic changes. It retains the upright, boxy proportions of the GLB, but its details align it more with Mercedes’ more expensive electric SUVs, the EQE and EQS SUVs.
