Volkswagen doesn’t mix themes when it comes to the Atlas. The Atlas is a big, three-row, family SUV that’s made for daily driving. It’s not sporty, exotic, off-road crazy, or anything other than an honest utility.

Millions of people love the power boost offered by ebikes, so wouldn't they appreciate a similar boost for activities such as hiking? That's the thinking behind the Dnsys X1 exoskeleton, which I put to the test. It works … but it may not be for you.

The Mini lineup is no longer mini and the move to fully electric models isn’t as dynamic as one might hope. The Countryman, the largest of the Minis, rivals most compact SUVs for size. Our time behind the wheel wasn't big on fun, practicality, or that classic Mini spirit.

Waterskiing, knee boarding, wake surfing and wakeboarding are popular water-sports. MasterCraft boats can do all three, but specialize in wake surfing. I travelled to Casper, Wyoming to try wakeboarding and a MasterCraft X24 for myself.

Audio gear maker Cambridge Audio launched a pair of wireless ANC headphones last year that hated being plugged into a wall outlet for a recharge. Now the company has refined the sound, improved on the long-haul comfort and introduced a new colorway.

The 2025 Nissan Murano brings in its fourth generation with a familiar twist: no more V6. The better changes for the Murano come to both its inside and exterior.

The simply-named Oi, made by Australian cycling gear company Knog, is a bike bell for people who don't like bike bells. Such folks may be particularly keen on the latest model, the Oi Prima, as it's sleeker and better-functioning than ever before.

The new OneOdio Focus A6 noise-canceling wireless headphones are a surprise package, delivering many features on par with sets that cost three times as much and outperforming its competitors in its price range. Expect to be pleasantly surprised.

Volvo has been quietly building luxury sport utilities with Swedish flair, content to let its German neighbors go to aggressive grilles and big badges. The 2025 XC90 plug-in hybrid exemplifies that professorial outlook.

I love music. All sorts of music. My playlists range from Nine Inch Nails to Niccolò Paganini. From Spice 1 to Gymnopédie No 1. When Teufel shot me an email asking if I wanted to give its flagship portable speaker a listen, I said, "What's a Teufel?"

It's fun to watch how quickly things are improving in home robotics right now. Sunseeker's new X5 robo-mower isn't perfect, but it does an impressive job with complex, multi-zone lawns thanks to its RTK-GNSS positioning system.

The Kia K4 looks good, feels premium, and has high levels of tech and safety. In a world giving up on affordable cars, it’s a surprisingly good entry-level compact.
