When you think 'Subaru,' chances are you already imagine off-road capabilities, and their Wilderness sub-brand has only bolstered that reputation. We're seeing how the new Forester Wilderness is supporting that reputation for 2026, then we'll come back to the studio for the lavish Lincoln Navigator. It's a team effort to dive into this high-lux high roller, so come ride with us!

First is an electrifying new entry in Cadillac's "IQ" portfolio, the LYRIQ-V, which blends Caddy luxury and V performance with an electric twist. Our second test features the Genesis GV70, a luxury utility that might just surprise you. And in between all that, a new "Over the Edge" featuring throttled up hot rods and a special look back at the Suzuki Samurai.

You know what this is - it's time for our 2026 Drivers' Choice Awards! Each year, the MotorWeek staff votes on their favorite picks for the best cars, trucks and utilities they've driven, and we share the results in one special episode. Of course, we'll also have our pick for overall "Best of the Year," and we'll even look back at some of our previous winners in an anniversary throwback segment.

We're kicking off another annual MotorWeek tradition with the Dodge Charger SIXPACK, the internal-combustion variant of the eighth-gen Charger and the subject of our first Roebling track test of the season. We'll follow that up with the Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid, a slightly more rugged take on this popular compact utility.

The Porsche Panamera GTS is the next subject of our yearly track testing at Roebling Road Raceway. We'll see how it manages to build upon the Panamera's already impressive "track record," then try to keep our puns to a minimal as we shift over to Hyundai's three-row utility, the Palisade, which sees some important improvements.
