EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback – or station wagon in regular speak.
This is Kia’s newest sedan, now with a sleek semi-fastback wagon roofline that adds pizazz to its shape, room to its cargo area, and a serious presence, especially in golden yellow. LED lights and DRLS make up its aggressive face, while the long roof gets a black glass moonroof, all framed by muscular rear fenders and a shaded rear hatch – angular rear lights, a high hatch and lots of space inside.
Ah yes – inside, it has low-slung, sporty pleather seats, a wide digital screen with 28 inches of gauges, blind spot camera images, navigation and more. There’s Sport/Normal drive modes, paddle shifters behind a squared-off steering wheel, and real buttons for dual-mode fan, temperature and vent position. There’s good backseat room, and 22.2-cu.-ft. of squared-off space. Its turbocharged four gets a decent 190-hp at 6,000 rpm, and 195 lb-ft or torque through its front wheels -quick enough and almost 30 mpg..
So read lots more about this, and see more interior and exterior images by EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan – 2026 Kia K4 Hatchback GT-Line Turbo Is Affordable FunAnd check out lots more views of EV, PHEV and ICE vehicles at EV Rider.

EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a 2026 Subaru Outback Premium, its seventh generation gaining a more SUV-like demeanor.
There’s boxy bumpers, a squared-off profile and serious body cladding, plus functionally blocky roof bars. It rides 8-plus inches off the ground atop chunky Dunlop Grand Trek rubber, looking capable of off-roading.
Inside, a pair of foot-wide digital screens – and a few needed buttons. Rubber floor mats to catch mud are underfoot, while you and three other adults nestle in softly supportive Star Tex pseudo-leather seats. There’s wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto, a decent audio system, and voice command for lots of functions. Along with a big cargo area, there’s a naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter BOXER (flat) four with 180 hp, a Lineartronic CVT with 8-speed manual mode function, all-wheel-drive and an X-MODE mud and snow option – it can tackle off-road.
So read lots more about this – Subaru Outback Premium Updated For 2026– and see more interior and exterior images by EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan. And check out lots more views of EV, PHEV and ICE vehicles at EV Rider.

EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a new GMC Sierra 1500 pickup truck that wears its off-road prowess proudly, with American Expedition Vehicles gear attached to the AT4X version.
There’s a prominent AEV-upgrade boron steel skid plate, one of five under this truck; AEV stamped steel front and rear bumpers with front winch capability; Multimatic DSSV spool valve dampers; and a 2-inch factory lift.
Inside, with 11.5-inches of ground clearance, you grab the leather-wrapped grab handles, or the steering wheel, and pull yourself up into black leather seats. The 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster is clear and concise, with a basic 140-mph speedometer and 6,000 rpm tach, or other designs. Climb into the rear bench seat, and there’s lots of head and leg room. That 6-foot-long bed has lots of room too, while that 6.2-liter V-8 with 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque can tow up to 9,000-lbs. And with 11 inches of ground clearance, we rumbled over anything..

But wait, here’s more…
Genesis has unveiled its new X Skorpio Concept, an off-road concept vehicle inspired by a black scorpion, and the company’s Genesis’ first extreme off-road vehicle. This ambitious creation represents Genesis’ vision to blend daring innovation with luxury, marking the next chapter for Genesis as it connects with the active lifestyle of off-road enthusiasts. Developing the X Skorpio Concept was a complex and meticulous process. “The X Skorpio concept is an extreme off-road vehicle designed to be driven across the toughest and harshest terrain,” said Luc Donckerwolke, Chief Creative Officer of Genesis. “With a tubular frame, a full roll cage and many components sourced directly from off-road endurance racing specialists, the X Skorpio Concept explores yet another facet of the Genesis brand and highlights our intent to inject emotion and adrenaline into different segments.”
The iconic arching tail of a scorpion inspired the vehicle’s tension-filled curves, while its sleek and functional roof air intake completes the sense of power and resilience.
Genesis’ signature Two-Line design is expertly integrated into the front and rear lamps, offering fully functional lighting, emphasizing harmony and symmetry while creating a striking focal point that symbolizes strength and confidence.
Inside, no stripped-down utilitarian Trophy Truck. Genesis designed the cabin with a singular focus: driver comfort and safety with ergonomic seating, intuitive controls and climate control systems to enhance performance and reduce driver fatigue. The instrument cluster is incorporated into the steering wheel so drivers can conveniently view it without losing sight of the landscape ahead. The interior is also equipped with a sliding display, which reconfigures between solo-rider and co-piloted modes — a centered position for the driver or sliding to the passenger for copilot navigation.
Equipped with a high-performance V-8 delivering 1,100 hp and 850 pound-feet of torque, the X Skorpio Concept is equipped with 18-inch beadlock wheels paired with custom 40-inch off-road tires, providing superior grip and durability for rugged terrain. It is also outfitted with Brembo Motorsport Brakes, providing enhanced stopping power and optimal responsiveness, ensuring the driver retains full control. Additionally, the vehicle is constructed using an innovative combination of fiberglass, carbon fiber and Kevlar, achieving a perfect balance of durability and reduced weight.
FYI – the new Dodge Charger is the 2026 MotorWeek Drivers’ Choice “Best of the Year.”
The U.S. Postal Service will issue Lowriders, a set of new commemorative postage stamps, after they were unveiledin San Diego recently. Lowriders are viewed as rolling canvases of stylized art, meant to be displayed in public spaces. The stamps feature photographs of five different lowriders, pictured from top left: a blue 1958 Chevrolet Impala named “Eight Figures”; an orange 1964 Chevrolet Impala named “The Golden Rose”; a green 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme named “Pocket Change”; a blue 1946 Chevrolet Fleetline named “Let the Good Times Roll/Soy Como Soy”; and a red 1963 Chevrolet Impala named “El Rey.”
Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, designed the stamps using existing photographs by Humberto “Beto” Mendoza (“Eight Figures,” “El Rey,” “The Golden Rose”) and Philip Gordon (“Let the Good Times Roll/Soy Como Soy,” “Pocket Change”). Danny Alvarado added the pinstriping on the stamps.

EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan takes a test drive in a 2026 Ram 1500 Limited 4×4 Crew Cab, a big, luxurious family-size pickup truck with a revived HEMI V-8, and eTorque – a mild hybrid system that adds to the fun and is said to save gas.
This is the fifth-generation of the full-size Ram, with sleeker headlights on edgy fenders with a smooth shape, but big shoes – 45R22-inch Pirelli Scorpion rubber. That power dome hood has “1500 E-TORQUE” badges, while those fenders bear “Symbol of Protest” badges – showing the HEMI is back after a year of absence. That cargo bed is big, narrowed a bit by rear fender top Ram Boxes – lockable storage bins with drains for tailgating snacks.
Inside, cocooning black leather buckets with lots of leather, stitching and wood accents – plus a big digital gauge display, then a center 14.4‑inch Infotainment Touchscreen flanked by real buttons for climate control, traction and lane-keep systems. Someone called it a “limousine” for its ride and comfort, with decent room in back for two (even three) more adults. And that the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, with 395 hp and 409-lb-ft of torque, works with a 48-volt battery pack and e-Torque system to provide quick engine start/stop, torque addition to the engine crankshaft, and brake energy regeneration for responsiveness and efficiency.
So read lots more about this – HEMI Returns To 2026 Ram 1500 With eTorque – and see more interior and exterior images by EV Rider reviewer Dan Scanlan.And check out lots more views of EV, PHEV and ICE vehicles at EV Rider.
