For all intents and purposes, the Toyota Prius introduced America to the hybrid and has continued a legacy of being one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles around.

For its fifth generation, the Prius gets a redesign and one that’s significantly different in a good way. Toyota looks to have made the best-looking Prius yet from what we see here unveiled ahead of the 2022 L.A. Auto Show.

As we inch closer to a future of more Electric Vehicles (EVs), Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) are a winning recipe that touts some of the best fuel mileage numbers we’ve seen in vehicles like the latest Hyundai Elantra Hybrid.

After experiencing many variations of the new seventh generation Hyundai Elantra, including the raucous performance-oriented Elantra N, there’s a lot of respect for the brand’s compact sedan and many welcome it with open arms for the affordable segment. Now, in experiencing the new Elantra HEV, there’s even more respect earned for a vehicle that often surpasses its EPA-estimated fuel consumption numbers in the real world to best most of its competition.

The new Hyundai Elantra for its seventh generation already has an excellent platform as I have experienced in many previous reviews of the vehicle in its gas-powered non-hybrid trim levels. Having the hybrid version of the Elantra this week takes

Vibrations and Strange Noises Coming from Under the Hood

In some cases, you may even hear a hissing noise. In this case, you may need to buy an exhaust like the Rhino Exhaust

The emergence of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is heating up and GMC is adding to the fire with the all-new 2024 GMC Sierra EV, an exceptionally powerful truck that falls right between the new GMC Hummer EV truck and the new Silverado EV.

Your Age
