2021 MotorTrend Car of the Year: Mercedes-Benz E-Class

We got the numbers, and more! The 1,250-horsepower ZR1X has been through our independent instrumented testing, plus some damp track laps and a drift session. We even dusted the pavement this time. But how quick is it to 60 mph, through the quarter-mile, and around our figure eight course? Is X gon' deliver it to ya? Combining the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8 of the rear-drive ZR1 with an enhanced version of the front electric motor from the all-wheel drive E-Ray, the ZR1X promises the ultimate Corvette powertrain, with the Nurburgring lap time to prove it. Watch the video to see the results, because they're not as cut-and-dry as we expected.

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.
