It almost feels like a redundant addition to the Mazda lineup — until you drive it. It’s so good, this new offering might be the best crossover yet.

Power, traction, practicality, fun — the Kona N may be one of the best do-it-all vehicles on the market.

After lying mostly dormant for several years, Mitsubishi is having a bit of a renaissance with its revised 2023 Outlander SEL. Borrowing inspiration and technology from its parent company, Nissan, Mitsubishi has made a statement in one of the most crowded segments in the industry. Packed with luxury features — such as quilted leather, a heated steering wheel and a 360-degree camera — this SUV is here to play at a relative bargain, especially in its SE trim. And that’s not even mentioning the impressive fuel economy.

The compact luxury SUV segment is a crowded one — and cutthroat in its competition. Somewhere in that pack is the 2023 Infiniti QX50 Sport. It’s small, luxurious and comfortable in every seat. It also introduces Infiniti’s fancy variable compression engine — to mixed results. It’s a fairly compelling alternative to the standard luxury choices, with preference given to a nice ride, good comfort and unique styling.

When Nick Long and Gary Ashley learned about a teen's request through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the pros from City of Salt Collision & Performance couldn't help but get involved.

Jaden Wall, a 17-year-old car enthusiast, had a seemingly simple wish: new wheels and tires, a wide-body kit and a paint job for his 1982 Mazda RX-7. Wall has battled health issues most of his life, from kidney disease to tumors to liver issues. Where pain and doctor visits are a normal part of Wall's life, his car has provided an outlet.

"Is that your Telluride? Do you like it?" If you own a Kia Telluride — one of the most coveted cars on the market — you're probably used to questions like this. Inquiring minds want to know whether this midsize SUV is worthy of all the attention it has been getting since its 2019 debut. Spoiler alert: It is. But, your satisfaction level may depend on which trim you select. For this review, we test drove the top-tier 2022 Kia Telluride SX Prestige Nightfall edition. It did not disappoint.

When Tom and Amy Buckley signed the papers to open a Lamborghini and Bentley dealership in Salt Lake City, they could not have imagined how successful their first year would be — especially at the tail end of a pandemic.

"We closed on the Salt Lake building two days before the country shut down. It was scary. Getting supplies took forever. It took longer to build and cost twice as much, but we did it," said Tom Buckley, co-owner of Salt Lake City Motor Cars. "We had people knocking down the door wanting to buy cars before we were even open. That was the beginning of an explosive amount of growth for us."

Car lovers and shoppers, rejoice! The 2023 Utah International Auto Expo returns to the Mountain America Exposition Center Jan. 13-16 and it's going to be better than ever. Attendees will be able to see, sit in and explore hundreds of new cars, trucks, crossovers, SUVs, EVs, exotics and more, all in a no-pressure environment.

We've covered Utah's supercar scene extensively here at KSL Cars. It's impressive. Hundreds of Lamborghinis, Ferraris, McLarens, Porsches and more. And they're awesome. We love to see them, hear them and — especially — drive them. They're the stuff of childhood dreams, now realized in our own backyard.

But one Utahn's ever-rotating collection rises above them all. If you're on social media, you know him as @utahsupercarowner, aka Ron. He's had the good fortune of owning hundreds of cars, including some of the rarest models in the world — and he drives them. Who else drives a $3.5 million, 1,500-horsepower Bugatti Chiron hypercar to work? No one. At least, not in Utah.

When you think of big, capable, family-hauling SUVs, few names carry as much recognition as the Chevrolet Suburban. This brute of an SUV has been around since 1935, making it the oldest surviving nameplate in America, according to MotorTrend. It's undergone a number of changes and facelifts through the years, but the newest version is the most spacious yet.

One cool thing about Volkswagen is that it's not just a car brand – it's an entire culture of automobile lovers and people who enjoy the thrill of driving. The VW brand is so iconic, in fact, that most of the vehicles don't even need the VW badge to pick him out of the lineup. When you see a Volkswagen Beetle – you know you're looking at a VW.

We've had the privilege of spending a lot of time with the 2023 Nissan Z Performance. At the one-day test-driving event in Colorado in May, we walked away impressed — especially with the engine and its power delivery. Hiroshi Tamura, chief global product specialist, said he sought to create the perfect dance partner and not a spec sheet conqueror. Dance she does. But in our week of real-world driving, we aren't so sure she's the best fit.

After more than 90 years of gorgeous design work on some of the world's most iconic cars, Italian design house Pininfarina is producing its own vehicles. The now manufacturer has already begun production on its limited run of the 1,877 horsepower electric hypercar, the Battista, and has plans to release a new electric vehicle each year for the next four years.

It's that time of year again. Bring out your wallets and empty the coffers, it's time to square up with old Uncle Sam. If you've budgeted right you'll get a very welcome tax refund. If not, well, Ben Franklin said it best, "...nothing is certain except death and taxes."

We tested the Equinox RS just a few months ago and walked away impressed by its rear seat space, cargo room and fuel economy. The same holds true here for the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox Premier, although the near $40,000 price tag may turn away some buyers. The Equinox is a hot seller for Chevy and after another week with one, we can easily see why. Its low-key, do-it-all and keep-it-simple demeanor is hard not to like and makes for an easy choice for the shopper who wants a straightforward compact SUV.

Charitable giving is not new to @utahsupercarowner. He's been the driving force behind many of the good deeds of the Utah car enthusiast community. This week, he's focused on Utah Foster Care, a nationally recognized nonprofit that "finds, educates, and supports Utah families, who are willing and able to provide nurturing homes for children in foster care." In Utah, more than 2,100 children are in foster care at any given time because their families are in crisis.

For a decade now, Wings and Wheels: Utah's Festival of Speed has been delighting car and airplane fanatics alike with a fun-filled day at the Spanish Fork Airport. This year promises to be the best yet.

"It's going to be huge. We've expanded our area, and the events are packed with some awesome stuff you won't see anywhere else," said Trevor Hoyt of Envision, one of the hosts of the show.

Cars can make some awesome sounds. From an engine revving in your favorite "Fast & Furious" movie to the exhaust note of your grandpa's old muscle car, car sounds are a regular and well-recognized part of life.

You know the story behind car prices: they're higher than ever. New or used, nearly every car is selling for more than it used to.
