Toyota Yaris Cross HEV 2025 Review (Hybrid GXL)
The Toyota Yaris Cross HEV (GXL trim) is presented as a highly efficient small SUV, particularly appealing for those hesitant about full EVs. Its stan... moredout feature is its exceptional fuel economy, with claimed figures of 3.8 L/100km for FWD and 4 L/100km for AWD models, with real-world testing showing just over 4 L/100km in mixed conditions. The reviewer highlights the updated interior with an 8-inch touchscreen and 7-inch digital cluster as significant improvements over the previous model, offering standard cloud-based navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Positives include precise steering, a comfortable ride, and good practicality for its size, along with a 5-year warranty extending to 7 years for the powertrain and 10 years for the battery with servicing. However, the Yaris Cross is criticized for its lack of refinement, with considerable engine, road, and tire noise entering the cabin. The 3-cylinder engine's transition between EV and petrol modes is noted as particularly unrefined. The reviewer also points out the absence of a wireless charger and directional rear air vents as drawbacks. Despite these criticisms, the Yaris Cross is deemed a strong contender for fuel-conscious buyers who can overlook its 'characterful' quirks. less
BMW iX2 2025 Review Australia
The BMW iX2 xDrive 30 is presented as a compelling value proposition in the luxury EV market, particularly for Australian buyers due to potential FBT ... morebenefits. The reviewer highlights its stylish coupe-SUV design, a pleasant and practical interior with dual screens, and an engaging driving character. The xDrive 30 variant, with its dual-motor AWD setup, offers strong performance, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, and features a well-tuned driving dynamic with responsive steering and a comfortable ride, despite its low-profile tires. The single-pedal driving experience with assertive regen braking is a notable positive. However, the reviewer points out some drawbacks, including tight rear-seat space and headroom for taller occupants, a somewhat awkward center console bin design, and the presence of hard plastics in some areas. The charging capabilities are strong, with 22 kW AC and 130 kW DC charging, but the WLTP range of 449 km for the xDrive 30 is considered acceptable rather than class-leading. While the reviewer personally prefers the iX1's design, they acknowledge the iX2's strong appeal for its price point and brand. less
2026 Polestar 4 Review
The Polestar 4 presents a compelling, albeit polarizing, package. While praised for its comfortable, plush interior, refined driving dynamics, and eco... more-conscious materials, its most significant drawback is the absence of a traditional rear window, relying instead on a digital camera mirror. This feature, along with its moving lens during turns, is a major point of contention for the reviewer, potentially impacting safety and comfort, especially for those prone to motion sickness. The reviewer also notes the car's heavy weight and the learning curve associated with its controls and touchscreen interface. Despite these criticisms, the dual-motor all-wheel-drive version offers substantial performance, though the reviewer suggests the rear-wheel-drive, single-motor variant might suffice for most users. Practicality is decent with good boot space and a frunk, but the real-world range falls short of WLTP claims. Ownership benefits include free servicing and a strong battery warranty, but the unique rear-view system is a deal-breaker for the reviewer. less
Yangwang U8 2025 Review
The Yangwang U8 is presented as a technologically advanced and immensely capable off-road SUV, boasting a plethora of innovative features. The reviewe... morer highlights its enormous size, luxurious interior with Nappa leather and wood trim, and advanced tech like a passenger screen, selfie camera, and a satellite phone connection. The vehicle's unique capabilities, such as a 359-degree tank turn and the ability to 'swim', are noted as impressive party tricks, though their practical application is questioned. Off-road performance is deemed capable, aided by adjustable air suspension and BFG Goodrich Allterrain tires, but the ride can feel firm and bouncy. On-road, the reviewer finds the U8's power delivery and body control less refined than expected for its weight and size, with visibility being a challenge. Despite its impressive tech and off-road prowess, the U8's sheer size and weight are significant considerations. The reviewer concludes it's an amazing 4x4, practical and capable, but its massive dimensions might be a deterrent for some, though it could be the 'right car' for the right customer. less
BYD Denza B8 Review 2025
The BYD Denza B8 (also referred to as Fangchengbao Bao 8) presents itself as a highly capable, three-row, off-road focused SUV with significant techno... morelogical integration. The reviewer highlights its impressive design, spacious interior with electric folding seats, and advanced features like a large touchscreen, head-up display, and even a fridge. The vehicle boasts a powerful plug-in hybrid powertrain, combining a 2.0L turbocharged engine with dual electric motors, delivering a combined output of 550 kW and 760 Nm, enabling a rapid 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4.8 seconds. Off-road capability is praised, with features like adjustable air suspension, excellent camera systems, and impressive off-road angles making it manageable despite its size. On-road, the B8 surprises with its dynamic handling and responsiveness, defying its weight. The reviewer notes a claimed EV range of 100 km and a combined range of 1,200 km. While the vehicle offers immense technology and capability, the reviewer emphasizes that its success hinges on aggressive pricing, suggesting it could be a compelling alternative to established rivals like the Nissan Patrol and Toyota LandCruiser 300 if priced correctly. less
2026 Kia Sportage Review Australia
The 2026 Kia Sportage receives a mid-life refresh with a new exterior design, updated interior tech, and expanded hybrid powertrain options. While the... more updated look and increased standard equipment are positives, the price increase across the range is a notable drawback in a competitive segment. The reviewer highlights the complexity of the Sportage lineup, with numerous variants and powertrain choices. Key interior criticisms include the divisive two-spoke steering wheel and the use of hard plastics in some areas, despite the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen. A significant annoyance for the reviewer is the persistent and often inaccurate speed sign recognition system, which can detract from the driving experience. The hybrid powertrain is praised for its urgency and refinement, while the diesel is recommended for rural buyers. However, road and wind noise intrusion are noted as downsides. Ownership benefits include Kia's 7-year warranty, with an additional 7-year warranty for hybrid battery packs and a 7-year capped-price servicing plan, though service intervals and costs vary by powertrain. Ultimately, while the Sportage offers a practical and well-equipped package, its increased price and some persistent annoyances mean buyers should carefully consider alternatives. less
BYD Denza B5 Review
The BYD Denza B5, also known as the Fangchengbao Bao 5, is presented as a formidable contender in the off-road SUV segment, potentially challenging es... moretablished players like the Toyota Prado and Tank 300. The review highlights its high-tech features, robust ladder-frame chassis, and premium positioning under BYD's Denza sub-brand, akin to Lexus's relationship with Toyota. While specific details on its off-road and on-road performance are touched upon, the transcript is too brief to offer a definitive verdict on its capabilities or value proposition. Further details on range, charging, and a more in-depth assessment of its driving dynamics are needed for a comprehensive evaluation. less
MG HS Super Hybrid 2025 Review Australia
The MG HS Super Hybrid PHEV presents a compelling package for Australian families seeking significant EV range in an SUV. The reviewer highlights its ... moreimpressive claimed 120km WLTP EV range, which was validated in real-world testing, achieving 101km before the petrol engine engaged. The interior is praised for its spaciousness and decent quality, though the cloth trim in the pre-production model might be less practical for parents than the potential fake leather in the final version. Positives include a comfortable and roomy rear seat, a smart hybrid powertrain management system, and a substantial 10-year/250,000km warranty with 10 years of roadside assistance. However, the ride is noted as firm, potentially uncomfortable on rough roads, and the brake pedal feel is described as slightly "airy." The lack of a spare tire and the absence of DC charging capability for the PHEV system are also drawbacks. The reviewer also points out the fingerprint-prone steering wheel controls and the wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as minor annoyances. Despite these points, the MG HS Super Hybrid is positioned as a strong contender, especially when considering its extensive EV range and warranty. less
2025 Hyundai Inster Review Australia (Casper Electric)
The Hyundai Inster presents a charming and characterful small EV, but its appeal is significantly hampered by its pricing, which the reviewer deems to... moreo high for its segment, starting at $39,000 plus on-road costs. While the Inster offers a decent range of features, including LED lighting, dual screens, and connected services, the base model's 15-inch wheels and basic interior trim feel dated. Higher trims, like the Inster Cross, add more desirable features but push the price towards $50,000, making it uncompetitive against strong alternatives. The reviewer praises the Inster's surprisingly spacious interior due to its long wheelbase and sliding rear seats, as well as its fun and dynamic driving experience with good handling and ride comfort. However, significant drawbacks include a clunky boot mechanism, a large turning circle for its size, and problematic integration of safety technology, particularly the speed sign recognition and driver monitoring systems, which are deemed intrusive and difficult to disable. Charging is a strong point with 120kW DC capability, but the battery technology (NMC) is noted as potentially outdated. Ultimately, while the Inster is a cute and engaging car to drive, its high price and flawed technology integration make it a difficult recommendation for many. less
GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV Review 2025 Australia
The GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV enters the Australian market as a compelling plug-in hybrid ute, challenging rivals like the BYD Shark and Ford Ranger PHEV.... more The reviewer highlights its impressive power output (300 kW / 750 Nm), substantial 3.5-tonne towing capacity, and a surprisingly luxurious interior, particularly in the top-spec Ultra trim with its large 14.6-inch touchscreen and heated/ventilated seats. The claimed 115 km EV driving range is a significant draw, though real-world achievability is noted as dependent on driving conditions and charging habits. Positives include the comfortable coil-spring rear suspension, responsive steering, and a smooth transition between electric and hybrid modes. However, drawbacks are present: the spare wheel placement impacts practicality in the tub, and a raised section in the load area further reduces utility. The adaptive cruise control is described as 'terrible,' and the vehicle's substantial weight (over 2.8 tonnes) affects handling dynamics. Despite these points, the Cannon Alpha PHEV is presented as a strong contender, especially with its competitive pricing and comprehensive 7-year warranty package. less
GWM Cannon Alpha 2025 Review: Towing Test Australia
The GWM Cannon Alpha PHEV ute demonstrates impressive towing capabilities, handling a 3.2-ton caravan with confidence on challenging Australian roads.... more While the coil springs at the rear offer a comfortable ride, they do exhibit some sag under load, unlike the leaf-sprung variants. The hybrid powertrain, combining a 2.0L turbo-petrol engine with an electric motor, delivers a robust 300kW and 750Nm, providing ample grunt for towing. However, the adaptive cruise control's inability to function while towing is a notable drawback, as is the occasional overbearing lane-keeping assist. Real-world fuel consumption, while not matching the official figures, remains competitive against some turbo-diesel and petrol utes. The reviewer highlights the Cannon Alpha's strong value proposition, offering significant features and towing capacity for its price point, making it a compelling alternative to more expensive rivals like the Ram. less
The Perfect New EV? MG S5 EV 2025 Review Australia
The MG S5 EV is presented as a compelling option in the affordable electric SUV segment, particularly for the Australian market. The reviewer highligh... morets its significant improvements over the previous ZS EV, praising its driving dynamics, spacious interior, and user-friendly technology interface. Key strengths include its engaging rear-wheel-drive handling, which offers a playful and enjoyable driving experience, and a well-designed cabin that feels more premium than its price suggests. A major advantage is the ability to easily disable intrusive active safety features, significantly enhancing daily usability. The vehicle also boasts a maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating and an exceptional 10-year/250,000 km warranty, including battery cover, which is a strong selling point. However, the reviewer notes that its exterior design is somewhat generic and the ride can be a little sharp over rough surfaces. Efficiency figures are described as not benchmark-setting, though acceptable for its class. The boot space is adequate but not class-leading, and there is no frunk. Despite these minor drawbacks, the S5 EV is recommended for those seeking an affordable, fun-to-drive electric SUV with excellent ownership prospects. less
Cadillac Lyriq 2025 Review Australia
The Cadillac Lyriq 2025 presents a compelling, albeit unconventional, entry into the luxury electric SUV market in Australia. The reviewer highlights ... morethe 'Luxury' trim's extensive standard features, including a 33-inch display, panoramic roof, and heated/ventilated seats, positioning it as a well-equipped offering. However, the interior, despite some plush elements, doesn't consistently feel commensurate with its premium price point, with some materials evoking more common vehicles. The exterior design is described as imposing and intriguing, though divisive. Practicality is a mixed bag: a large boot space is noted, but the absence of a frunk is a drawback. Rear passenger headroom is a concern for taller individuals, and the placement of ISOFIX points impacts comfort. Driving dynamics are characterized as predictable and comfortable, with ample power from the dual-motor AWD system, though it leans towards a plush ride rather than sporty engagement. Real-world range is respectable, estimated around 500km, but efficiency is noted as being on the heavier side. The reviewer criticizes the intrusive driver monitoring system and the less-than-intuitive infotainment controls. Overall, the Lyriq is seen as a capable, comfortable, and powerful EV, but its unique design and certain interior/tech quirks mean it won't appeal to everyone, especially when compared to established luxury rivals. less
2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid Review Australia - Inc Off Road (e-Boxer HEV)
The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid (e-Boxer) presents a promising evolution for the model, particularly for those prioritizing practicality and off-road ... morecapability. The reviewer highlights its mature driving dynamics, comfortable ride, and agile handling, noting improvements over the previous generation. The new hybrid powertrain is a significant step forward, offering smoother operation and better fuel efficiency, with real-world range potentially exceeding 1,000 km. Off-road performance is a strong suit, with the X-Mode system and symmetrical all-wheel drive proving capable on various terrains, though the reviewer notes the hybrid model lacks a spare tire and the hill descent control on steep descents was slightly less effective than the petrol version. Key drawbacks include the lack of pricing and final specifications, the absence of a spare tire on the hybrid, and the potential for the vehicle to bottom out in extreme off-road situations due to ground clearance. Overall, it's positioned as a compelling option for families seeking a capable, hybrid SUV, with the final verdict pending pricing and official fuel consumption figures. less
Zeekr 009 Review Australia
The Zeekr 009 is presented as Australia's most opulent electric people mover, offering immense power, luxurious interior finishes, and impressive... more practicality. The reviewer highlights its dual-motor AWD powertrain delivering 450 kW and a rapid 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, alongside a substantial 116 kWh battery providing a claimed 582 km WLTP range. The interior is lauded for its Nappa leather, aviation-style second-row seats with heating, ventilation, and massage, a 15-inch rear screen, and a 30-speaker sound system. However, the vehicle's significant drawbacks are its "alarmingly expensive" price tag (starting at $135,900 AUD for the 7-seater, with the 6-seater costing $4,000 more), substantial size and weight (2,870 kg curb weight), and a design described as "OTT" (over the top) with some "challenging design elements." While praised for its "magic carpet" ride comfort thanks to standard adaptive air suspension and ease of driving despite its size, the reviewer suggests the 7-seat version might be more practical than the opulent 6-seat layout for most buyers. Alternatives like the Kia Carnival and Lexus LM are mentioned, with the Carnival being significantly cheaper. less
2025 Audi Q4 E-Tron Review
The Audi Q4 e-tron arrives in Australia as a stylish and well-executed electric SUV, though notably late to the market. The reviewer highlights its se... morerene and delightful driving experience, praising its comfortable ride, predictable handling, and the absence of overly intrusive driver assistance systems found in some newer EVs. The interior is lauded for its familiar Audi quality and logical layout, with comfortable leather seats and ample storage. However, criticisms include the haptic feedback controls which can be annoying, the lack of connected services and smartphone app integration, and the optional panoramic glass roof being a costly extra. The reviewer suggests that the entry-level Q4 45 model offers excellent value, and while the 55 Quattro is quicker, it comes with a range and efficiency penalty. Real-world efficiency figures are presented as respectable for an AWD electric SUV. Overall, the Q4 e-tron is considered a likable and livable EV, particularly for those prioritizing comfort and ease of use over cutting-edge tech features. less
Shanghai Auto Show 2025 Tour Vlog
This VLOG offers an extensive tour of the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, highlighting the sheer scale and rapid evolution of the Chinese automotive market. ... moreThe reviewer, a guest of GWM, provides a comprehensive overview of numerous brands and models, from established players to emerging concepts. Key vehicles discussed include the GWM Tank 700 with its potential V8 plug-in hybrid, the HL H9, and various BYD models. The review touches upon innovative designs, practical considerations like plug-in hybrid powertrains and wagon variants (e.g., GWM Ora), and unique concepts. While the video excels in showcasing the breadth of offerings, it lacks in-depth analysis of specific vehicle performance or detailed pros and cons beyond initial impressions, functioning more as a visual catalog than a critical review. less
Jaecoo J7 SHS PHEV 2025 Review Australia - Budget Plug-in Hybrid SUV (Inc EV Range Test)
The Jaecoo J7 SHS Summit PHEV presents a compelling value proposition in the Australian market, particularly for budget-conscious buyers seeking plug-... morein hybrid technology. The reviewer highlights its attractive price point, extensive standard features, and a long 8-year unlimited kilometer warranty as significant advantages. The interior is praised for its "wow factor," with good material finishes, ambient lighting, and comfortable, ventilated, and heated seats, though the window switch design and rear-view mirror are noted as minor annoyances. The PHEV powertrain delivers substantial combined power (255 kW / 525 Nm) and a commendable real-world EV range, coming close to the claimed 90 km, making it suitable for daily commuting. While the boot space is smaller than non-hybrid variants and it lacks all-wheel drive, the overall driving experience is described as well-rounded, comfortable, and surprisingly livable. The reviewer concludes that the J7 SHS Summit is a highly competitive and likable option for those looking to save money while embracing electric driving. less
Tesla Model Y 2025 Review Australia (Juniper Update - Long Range AWD)
The updated Tesla Model Y, codenamed 'Juniper', is presented as an "annoyingly good" electric SUV that impresses with its technolo... moregy and practicality. The reviewer highlights the "Tesla Cybertruck-inspired" front-end design and the full-width light bar as significant aesthetic improvements. Inside, the minimalist cabin features a new ambient lighting strip and an 8-inch rear touchscreen, though the reliance on the central 15.4-inch screen for most controls, including the gear selector, is noted as a potential point of contention. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample boot space, a usable frunk with a drainage plug, and a flat rear floor. The rear seats offer generous legroom and can recline. Driving dynamics are described as good, with a direct and sharp steering feel that might be too twitchy for some, and a more composed ride than the previous generation. Performance is strong, especially in the Long Range AWD variant tested, which achieves 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. Real-world efficiency is praised, with the reviewer achieving a respectable number over hundreds of kilometers. Key drawbacks include the lack of a rear wiper, no standard sunshade for the glass roof, no included charging cables, and a disappointing 4-year/80,000 km vehicle warranty, though the battery warranty is longer. Despite these points, the reviewer concludes that the Model Y is a practical, comfortable, and easy-to-drive EV, further enhanced by Tesla's Supercharger network, making it a compelling option for many. less
VW ID5 GTX Review 2025 Australia
The Volkswagen ID.5 GTX is presented as a compelling, fast, and liveable electric SUV option for the Australian market in 2025. The reviewer highlight... mores its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, ample power, and generous EV driving range as key strengths. Standard features are plentiful, including 20-inch alloys, matrix LED lights, a 12.9-inch infotainment screen, and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. However, the vehicle is noted as being somewhat expensive, with a starting price around $73,000 before on-road costs. A significant drawback mentioned is the lack of heated or ventilated front seats, and tight rear headroom for taller passengers. The interior, while functional, is described as potentially lacking the 'bling' expected at this price point, with a small digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen that requires some adaptation. Driving dynamics are praised, particularly in sport mode, offering sharp handling and immense traction, though the throttle response in comfort modes and the brake pedal feel are flagged as requiring adjustment. The reviewer commends the absence of intrusive beeping safety systems, making it a less annoying car to live with. Efficiency is deemed impressive, exceeding expectations even with spirited driving. Alternatives like the BYD Sea Lion 7 and Xpeng G6 are suggested for those seeking better value or more features for the money. less
VW ID4 2025 Review Australia
The Volkswagen ID.4 Pro is presented as a compelling option in the Australian EV SUV market, despite its late arrival. The reviewer highlights its str... moreong points, including a practical and enjoyable cabin, faster charging capabilities compared to some rivals, and a notably less intrusive safety tech suite. The interior is praised for its comfort, with features like heated, massaging, and memory-adjustable front seats, and a spacious feel, though the digital instrument cluster and touchscreen are noted as being a bit small. The boot space is deemed family-friendly and practical. On the road, the ID.4 Pro excels in comfort, particularly on country roads, thanks to its adjustable suspension and high-profile tires, making it ideal for Australian touring. The rear-wheel-drive setup offers an engaging driving experience with good steering response and enjoyable dynamics, especially in sport mode. A significant positive is the absence of annoying 'bing bong' safety alerts, allowing for a more relaxed driving experience. However, the reviewer notes a touchy throttle pedal and a spongy brake pedal feel. The 77 kWh battery offers a substantial 544 km of range, and DC charging up to 175 kW is considered speedy. Ownership aspects, including a 5-year warranty and an 8-year battery warranty, are also viewed favorably. The reviewer concludes that the ID.4 Pro is a practical, comfortable, and surprisingly livable EV, offering a more enjoyable drive than many competitors, especially for those who dislike intrusive safety warnings. less
BYD Sealion 7 2025 Review Australia
The BYD Sealion 7 is presented as a compelling value proposition in the Australian electric SUV market for 2025. The reviewer highlights that both the... more entry-level Premium RWD and the tested AWD Performance models offer significant equipment for their price points, outperforming many rivals. While the Performance model boasts impressive acceleration (0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds) thanks to its dual-motor AWD setup, the reviewer suggests the cheaper, single-motor Premium RWD version offers better overall value, saving $9,000 while still providing ample range (482 km WLTP vs 456 km for AWD). Key positives include a practical and spacious cabin, a large 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a decent frunk, and a comprehensive suite of safety features. However, the reviewer notes a slightly unsettled ride quality on the 20-inch wheels, thick A-pillars creating blind spots, and a less-than-ideal payload capacity of 410 kg. The reviewer's verdict leans heavily towards the entry-level Premium RWD as the "bargain of the year" for its balance of features, range, and cost, making it the recommended choice for most buyers. less
Kia EV3 Review Australia
The Kia EV3 presents a compelling package as Kia's most affordable and smallest electric SUV, particularly in its mid-spec 'Earth' trim... more, which the reviewer identifies as the sweet spot. It boasts impressive range figures, especially for the long-range variants, and a comfortable, well-appointed interior with a premium feel for its price point, featuring dual 12.3-inch displays and useful tech like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The driving experience is generally positive, with a comfortable ride and responsive steering suitable for urban environments. However, the EV3 is not without its drawbacks. The reviewer highlights significant frustrations with the vehicle's safety systems, particularly the overly insistent and frequently chiming speed sign recognition and driver monitoring systems, which require deactivation every drive. Rear seat space and headroom are noted as tight for taller passengers, and the lack of a surround-view camera across all trims is a disappointment. Charging speeds are also considered slow compared to other group models. Despite these annoyances, the EV3's efficiency and Kia's ownership package, including service plans and a guaranteed future value program, are strong points. less
New Volvo EX90 7 Seater Review Australia
The Volvo EX90 is presented as a premium, three-row electric SUV option for Australian families, positioned to complement the updated XC90. While its ... moreentry price of $125,000 (before on-road costs) places it at the higher end of the market, the reviewer highlights its spaciousness, practicality, and impressive battery system with substantial range and charging capabilities. The "Plus" trim, reviewed here, comes well-equipped with features like 20-inch alloys, LED lighting, a 14.5-inch infotainment screen with Google built-in, and a panoramic glass roof. For an additional $10,000, the "Twin Motor Performance Ultra" version offers more power, torque, ventilated front seats, air suspension, and a premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system. The reviewer notes the interior's minimalist, luxurious design, though finds the Nordico material less luxurious than expected. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample cargo space even with the third row up, and electric folding seats. However, the third row is deemed uncomfortable for adults over 170cm, and lacks ISOFIX points. Driving dynamics are described as comfortable, refined, and quiet, with adequate power even in the base model, though it feels heavy. Real-world efficiency is noted as potentially lower than the WLTP claim depending on driving conditions. Safety is a given with Volvo's reputation, featuring comprehensive active and passive systems. Ownership benefits include a 5-year unlimited km warranty, 8-year EV warranty, and notably, five years of free maintenance. Despite its high cost and some minor drawbacks like limited rearward visibility and a slightly soft rear ride, the EX90 is lauded as a fantastic, safe, and luxurious family electric SUV, with the primary consideration being its price point. less
