History repeats in the best way for Volkswagen’s icon: the Golf lineup—GTI and R—earns MotorTrend’s 2026 Car of the Year. In refreshed Mk8 form, both models sharpen design and tech while honoring hot-hatch roots. Outside: crisper headlights, reshaped bumpers, illuminated grille bar, and a bolder R with aggressive aero and an available Euro Style package (lighter seats, no sunroof, Akrapovič titanium exhaust). Inside: a cleaner cabin centered on a quicker 12.9-inch infotainment system with conversational voice control powered by ChatGPT. On the road, MQB chassis tuning, stiffer springs, and revised mounts make it more planted and playful. Power comes from a 2.0L turbo: GTI 241 hp/273 lb-ft (FWD), R 328 hp/295 lb-ft (AWD), both with a responsive 7-speed dual-clutch. IQ.Drive driver assists are standard. Efficiency stays strong (up to 27 mpg combined GTI; 25 mpg R), and value impresses (GTI from $33,670; R from $48,325). A daily driver with real thrills—this is the Golf at its best.

In this episode of The InEVitable by MotorTrend, hosts Ed Loh and Jonny Lieberman drive one of the wildest electric conversions ever — the Toyota AE86 Levin BEV, built by Lexus Electrified Development Division. It’s a fully electric AE86 with a manual transmission — real shifts, clutch, and simulated 4A-GE sound. Joining the hosts, Kenji Arai (Lexus Electrified Chief Engineer) and Toshi Hayama (JDM legend) reveal how this one-off EV keeps the analog spirit of the 1980s drift icon alive — and what it means for the future of fun-to-drive electric cars.

Hyundai has redesigned the big palisade SUV for 2026. It’s got a bigger and more upscale cabin, more room in the third row, attractive new styling, and perhaps most importantly, a new optional hybrid powertrain that Hyundai hopes will deliver more than 30 miles per gallon. There’s also a new off road themed XRT Pro model with greater ground clearance, extra terrain modes, and revised styling that reflects its off-road mission.
