The small-SUV craze continues; did you buy yours?

Here are the top 5 news, car reviews, and features that caught your attention this week…

Sub-compact utility vehicles have overall dimensions in line with compact cars, but offer more generous cargo space, not to mention the increased safety of an SUV. For those living an active lifestyle, whether as part of a family or not, a vehicle like the Nissan Qashqai is an ideal choice. Check out our review!

Two highly popular compact SUV models have come forth with next-generation editions this year—the 2017 Honda CR-V and the 2017 Mazda CX-5. As we’ve already reviewed both of them, the team at Auto123.com figured a quick comparative review would be a helpful exercise for undecided consumers.

Interested in buying a compact hatchback? That’s understandable given their sporty nature and versatile interior. Here are the top 10 models currently available in Canada.

The legendary Porsche 911 recently achieved a remarkable milestone when the one-millionth unit came off the production line at the company’s plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany. We have several pictures of this special 911.

Finally, in a new video posted by General Motors, Executive Chief Engineer Jeff Luke describes the new Duramax engine that powers the 2017 Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD heavy-duty trucks. This 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8 produces an unprecedented 445 horsepower and, more importantly, an earth-shaking 910 lb-ft of torque!
