Pets in Cars Reviews

We put our paws all over the new Toyota Corolla Cross to assess its abilities as a dog-transporting car.

We brought a country song to life and found out how dogs really feel about pickup trucks.

The GV80 is a large-medium SUV that excels at passenger comfort, no matter the species.

The brutish nature of this truck-like SUV makes every ride an adventure. It’s fun when you’re up for it. Pets might take a little more convincing, though.

The new Honda CR-V’s wide-opening rear door is a boon for big dogs, but it’s a pretty long leap from the ground to the seats.

A smooth and comfortable SUV that’s quiet and minimal on emissions. Animals, inside and out, will appreciate it. But don’t buy the OEM dog gate.

The new-for-2024 Hyundai Kona is a huge improvement over the last model. It’s not the best for dog transport, but it has some utility.

Mazda has applied its lovely design language to a large SUV. It’s a great ride for people, but a little less optimal for animals.

I don’t know if I agree with other reviewers who have called this a “poorer person’s Porsche Macan,” but it is still a nice little SUV.

This seven-seat SUV does a nice job combining comfort and sportiness in a practical package. But you’ll pay for a lot of fuel if you use the power.

An extreme version of an already preposterous machine, the DBX707 is pure splendiferousness. It’s an excellent Aston Martin, though maybe not the most practical utility vehicle.

We’ve discussed how good the new Prius looks and how it drives. Now we’ll see how well it works as a dog taxi.

The new GTI delivers on its promise of practical performance, but you still need to pack it wisely to make the most of its interior space.

The second-gen Trax is ten times cooler-looking than its predecessor. It’s not fast, but it’s not bad, and Evotex seats are easy to clean dog drool off of.

It’s better than I expected. In fact, if your dog’s under 45 pounds, the tiny Toyota GR86 is downright great for pup hauling.

This is a high-class hot rod with a high-tech dash and great interior materials. Your dog will probably like it too, so start saving up.

The station wagon is still one of the best kinds of car to get if you’ve got a family—whether that means human children or fur babies.

A used BMW i3 can be a good way to get into electric cars for less money than new alternatives. And it turns out they’re also fantastic dog taxis.

The mid-’00s BMW 3 Series is still one of the best-value driver’s cars out there. For dog owners, it’s not even all that impractical.

One of the most engaging drivers’ cars you can buy new right now also happens to be a hatchback. Here’s how it well it works as a dog taxi.

A surprisingly engaging sport sedan with an ample amount of practicality.
