Our full reviews of 2023 models nears a close with reviews of the redesigned 2023 GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado siblings. We also test out the latest all-new cars, starting the 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale, a small crossover that represents a new entry point into the exotic Italian brand.
Here’s what moved us this week.
New car reviews
The small crossover SUV comes standard as a plug-in hybrid with 30 miles of range, good looks, agile handling, and a roomy cabin. It earns a TCC Rating of 7.0 out of 10.
2023 Chevrolet Colorado review
The redesigned mid-size pickup truck comes loaded with standard features but only a crew-cab short-bed configuration. It’s a 5.6 out of 10.
GMC’s new mid-size pickup scores a 310-hp turbo-4, a crew cab and a short bed, as well as a new off-road attitude. It’s a 5.4 out of 10.
The small crossover offers big space but middling fuel economy, adding up to a TCC Rating of 6.5 out of 10.
2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
A solid overall choice, the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is best appreciated for its slick interior that’s loaded with high-tech features as well as its broad lineup of powertrains. It combines for a TCC Rating of 6.0 out of 10.
New car previews
The luxury mid-size SUV returns with even more standard tech and convenience features, as well as a standard mild-hybrid powertrain. The tech upgrades keep it fresh, and the style and powertrain tweaks should help it maintain its edge over luxury rivals.
The Ranger is redesigned for 2024 with a (small) buffet of turbocharged engine options, large touchscreens, and a feeling that Ford shrunk its best-selling F-150 pickup for those looking for something more manageable.
2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E preview
A price cut enables Ford’s still-awesome foray into high-performance EVs.
