2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid Vs Toyota RAV4 Hybrid – An Electrified 40 MPG Crossover War
This video presents a comprehensive comparison between the 2020 Honda CR-V Hybrid and the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, two key players in the electrified compa... morect crossover segment. The reviewer highlights that both vehicles achieve an impressive 40 MPG combined rating, with the RAV4 Hybrid slightly edging out the CR-V Hybrid in city MPG and overall fuel efficiency. Key strengths of the RAV4 Hybrid include its more powerful hybrid system (219 hp vs. 212 hp combined), a more rugged exterior design, a more premium interior with features like heated and cooled seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a 360-degree camera. The reviewer also notes its quicker acceleration and slightly larger cargo capacity. Conversely, the CR-V Hybrid shines with its significantly more spacious interior, particularly in the rear seats, a lower load floor for easier cargo access, and a more comfortable ride, which the reviewer suggests might be better for long road trips. The CR-V Hybrid also utilizes a lithium-ion battery compared to the RAV4's nickel-metal hydride. Despite the CR-V's advantages in space and comfort, the reviewer ultimately favors the RAV4 Hybrid due to its superior features, performance, and slightly better fuel economy, even though it comes at a higher price point for the top-trim Limited model compared to the CR-V Touring. less
Will the Model Y Finally Make Tesla Profitable?
The reviewer explores Tesla's journey towards profitability, centering on the anticipated impact of the Model Y. The Model Y is presented as a cr... moreucial product, leveraging the success of the Model 3 but adapted for the popular compact crossover segment. Key strengths highlighted include its shared platform with the Model 3, promising streamlined production and faster delivery times, a significant improvement over past production challenges. The reviewer notes the Model Y's potential to double Tesla's revenue, making it a game-changer for the company's financial future. Specific trims discussed are the Standard Range (available early 2021) and the Dual Motor Non-Performance and Performance versions (available March 2020). The Performance trim offers a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds with a range of 280 miles (with 21-inch wheels), competing with high-performance luxury vehicles. The reviewer praises Tesla's technological integration, particularly the smartphone app and keyless entry, which enhance the ownership experience. The video concludes that the Model Y, alongside future models like the Cybertruck and Roadster 2.0, positions Tesla to continue leading the EV market. less

The 2020 Lincoln Aviator Is Back With Twin-Turbo Power Ready To Challenge Zee Germans
The 2020 Lincoln Aviator marks a significant return for the model, aiming to challenge established German luxury SUVs. The reviewer praises its stunni... moreng, Navigator-inspired styling, luxurious interior with high-quality materials, and a comfortable, quiet ride, particularly noting the effectiveness of the air suspension and adaptive dampers. The twin-turbocharged V6 engine provides ample power, delivering a quick acceleration that feels more engaging than previous Lincoln offerings. The reviewer highlights the advanced features like the 30-way adjustable seats with massage function and the impressive Revel audio system. However, criticisms include the slightly cramped third row, which is best suited for children or occasional adult use, and some minor build quality issues like rattles and wind noise, possibly due to it being a pre-production model. The reviewer also points out the thick bezels on the infotainment screen as a minor design flaw. Despite these points, the Aviator is considered a strong contender, offering a distinct American luxury experience that surpasses its Ford Explorer underpinnings and many Japanese competitors, though it faces stiff competition from upcoming models like the Genesis GV80. less
The 2019 Mirai Fuel Cell Is Toyota's Answer to Battery Electric Cars
The 2019 Toyota Mirai is presented as Toyota's answer to the growing battery electric vehicle market, focusing on hydrogen fuel cell technology. ... moreThe reviewer highlights its unique powertrain, which converts hydrogen into electricity, emitting only water vapor. While acknowledging the 312-mile range and impressive low-end torque, the review is largely critical of the Mirai's polarizing and somewhat awkward exterior design, which the reviewer feels negatively impacted the Prius's styling. The interior is described as comfortable and familiar, though hampered by an outdated infotainment system lacking Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Practicality is a concern, with limited cargo space due to the hydrogen tanks and a cramped rear seat, making it a four-seater. The reviewer notes the driving experience is similar to an electric car, offering a smooth and quiet ride with decent acceleration, but questions the slow progress of hydrogen infrastructure and the high cost of hydrogen fuel. The lease deal is highlighted as the most attractive proposition for potential buyers, offering free fuel for a period. Ultimately, the Mirai is positioned as a niche vehicle for early adopters in specific regions (California, Hawaii) due to infrastructure limitations, with battery electric vehicles seen as more advanced. less
The 2020 Mini Cooper SE Is an All-Electric Mini That Signals a New Era for the Brand
The 2020 Mini Cooper SE marks Mini's significant step into the electric vehicle market, leveraging the powertrain from the BMW i3s. While it reta... moreins the charismatic styling and go-kart-like handling expected of a Mini, its electric nature introduces both advantages and drawbacks. The immediate torque and responsive acceleration are highlights, offering a fun driving experience, especially in Sport mode. The regenerative braking system is well-implemented, allowing for effective one-pedal driving. However, the most significant criticism is the limited EPA-estimated range of 110 miles, which falls short of competitors and may induce range anxiety. The interior, while charming, carries over from the previous generation, and the rear seats are quite cramped. Despite these limitations, the Cooper SE is praised for its pricing, making it an enticing, albeit niche, option, particularly as a second car, provided the range is sufficient for the owner's needs. less
The 2020 Audi E-Tron Is the Premium EV From Germany If You Don't Want a Tesla
The 2019 Audi e-tron is presented as a premium electric SUV alternative to Tesla, excelling in interior luxury and refinement. The reviewer highlights... more the high-quality materials, massaging seats, advanced infotainment, and a sophisticated cabin ambiance, which significantly surpasses Tesla's offerings in this regard. However, the e-tron falls short in key EV metrics: range and acceleration. With a real-world range around 198-204 miles, it trails competitors like the Tesla Model X. Performance, while adequate for daily driving, is described as "lethargic" off the line, especially considering its premium price point. The charging infrastructure, relying on Electrify America, is also noted as expensive and less robust than Tesla's Supercharger network. While a strong first effort for Audi in the long-range EV market, particularly for existing Audi loyalists, its shortcomings in range and performance may deter EV buyers prioritizing those aspects over interior opulence. less
The Toyota Camry & Avalon Hybrids Are Fuel Efficient Sedans That May Outsell The Prius
The 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid SE and the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Limited are presented as compelling alternatives to the Prius, offering similar fuel... more efficiency in more conventional sedan packages. The Camry Hybrid, starting around $28,000 (LE trim), delivers impressive fuel economy (up to 52 MPG city/47 MPG highway) and a responsive driving experience, making it a strong value proposition. The reviewer highlights its conventional interior, comfortable ride, and adequate power, noting it feels like a normal car to drive. The Avalon Hybrid, positioned as a more luxurious option starting around $36,000, offers a more premium interior with better materials, heated/cooled seats, and a slightly larger infotainment screen, feeling akin to a 'budget Lexus.' While the Avalon provides more rear legroom and a slightly larger trunk, the reviewer questions if the $8,000 price difference is justified for the added luxury, especially since the Camry Hybrid offers comparable acceleration and features. Ultimately, the reviewer leans towards the Camry Hybrid for its superior value, better fuel economy, and similar performance, despite acknowledging the Avalon's more upscale feel and refined ride. less
The 2020 Ford Explorer ST & Volvo XC90 T8 Are Both 400 HP Family Haulers – Ft. AlexOnAutos
This video pits the 2024 Ford Explorer ST against the 2020 Volvo XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid, both boasting 400 horsepower. While the Volvo offers a more l... moreuxurious and elegant design with a refined interior featuring premium materials and a sophisticated infotainment system, the Explorer ST is lauded for its superior handling, sporty driving dynamics, and a more engaging driving experience. The reviewer notes the Explorer ST's surprisingly agile performance, making it the sportiest in its segment, even outperforming the Volvo in real-world acceleration tests despite the latter's instant torque advantage. However, the Explorer ST's interior, while improved, is criticized for its infotainment screen usability and some material choices. The Volvo's higher price point and less engaging driving feel are noted drawbacks, though its comfort and luxury are undeniable. Ultimately, both reviewers lean towards the Ford Explorer ST, citing its driving dynamics and overall value, though one admits a personal preference for the Volvo's luxury if cost were no object. The comparison also highlights the Explorer ST's towing capacity falling between Durango models and its sound not matching the auditory excitement of competitors. less
The 2020 Lexus LS500h Is Proof Japan Can Still Build a World-Class Luxury Sedan
The 2020 Lexus LS500h is presented as a compelling, albeit slightly flawed, contender in the luxury sedan segment, particularly for those seeking Japa... morenese craftsmanship. The reviewer highlights the exceptional rear-seat experience, especially with the executive package, describing it as unparalleled in a Japanese car and rivaling business-class air travel with its extensive adjustability and comfort features. The exterior design is noted as a significant improvement over previous generations, with a lower, wider stance and distinctive styling, though the rear is considered somewhat plain. Inside, the LS500h boasts high-quality materials and meticulous build quality, but the infotainment system's trackpad controller is heavily criticized as frustrating and outdated, despite the inclusion of Apple CarPlay. The hybrid powertrain, while offering decent fuel economy (averaging around 25 MPG in testing) and a quiet, serene ride, is deemed less powerful and less engaging than the gasoline-only V6, with the reviewer suggesting the V6 might be the better choice for most buyers due to the hybrid's higher cost and lack of performance character. The reviewer concludes that Lexus still knows how to build a world-class luxury sedan, offering significant value compared to German rivals, but points out areas for improvement, such as interior lighting and the infotainment interface, to truly compete at the highest tier. less

This video serves as a year-end recap for Redline Reviews, highlighting the host's favorite vehicles tested in 2019 across five distinct categori... morees: Favorite Engine, Favorite 3-Row Family Car, Best All-Around Family Car, Favorite Off-Road Vehicle, and Favorite Sports Car. The host praises the Audi RS3's unique 5-cylinder engine, the Kia Telluride's value and design for a 3-row SUV, and the BMW X7's luxurious and sporty driving dynamics for those with a higher budget. The Subaru Outback XT is lauded as the best all-around family car for its practicality and capability, while the Jeep Wrangler is recognized for its off-road prowess and iconic status. For sports cars, the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is celebrated for its immense power and track performance, and the BMW Z4 M40i is favored for its convertible experience and elegant design. The video also teases exciting vehicles anticipated for 2020, including the Chevrolet Corvette C8, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Ford Bronco, Tesla Model Y, Audi RS6 Avant, and Lexus LC500 Convertible. less
Is the 2020 Volvo XC90 T8 Still the Most Elegant Luxury SUV?
The 2020 Volvo XC90 T8 receives a "lazy" but understandable refresh, building upon the already elegant and luxurious second-generation model... more. While exterior and interior design changes are minimal, the core strengths of comfort, luxury, and a premium cabin remain. The T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain offers impressive acceleration, reaching 60 mph in under 5 seconds, thanks to its turbocharged, supercharged, and electrified four-cylinder engine producing 400 horsepower. The updated battery pack provides an estimated 18 miles of electric-only range and qualifies for a $5,000 federal tax credit. However, the reviewer notes a lack of auditory excitement from the engine, a soft suspension that leads to body lean, and a ride quality that, while good, isn't class-leading. The reviewer also points out the absence of a power-adjustable steering wheel and the discontinuation of the ultra-luxurious Excellence trim. Despite these minor drawbacks, the XC90 T8 is praised for its sophisticated interior, comfortable seats with massage functions, and overall elegant presence, making it a strong contender in the luxury SUV segment, though perhaps lacking the visceral thrill some enthusiasts might desire. less
Does AWD and a Facelift Make the 2019 Toyota Prius More Appealing?
The 2019 Toyota Prius AWD receives a mixed review, primarily due to its polarizing styling and dated interior technology, despite the addition of all-... morewheel drive. While the reviewer acknowledges the improved ride and handling thanks to the new TNGA platform and multi-link rear suspension, the exterior design remains a significant drawback, with the reviewer struggling to find attractive angles. The interior is criticized for its small infotainment screen, lack of Apple CarPlay (for 2019), and generally cheap materials, though the seats are noted as comfortable. The much-touted AWD system is deemed a disappointment, offering minimal performance benefit, not operating above 46 mph, and contributing to a slight decrease in fuel economy. Real-world fuel economy is still excellent, with the reviewer easily achieving 43 mpg in the city and over 55 mpg on the highway. Ultimately, the reviewer suggests that while the Prius remains a comfortable and efficient commuter with good longevity, its lack of desirability and technological advancement, coupled with strong offerings from Toyota's own lineup (Camry Hybrid, RAV4 Hybrid) and competitors like the Tesla Model 3, make it a less compelling choice in the current market. less
The 2019 Lexus UX 250h F-Sport Wants You to Forget About the Old CT 200h
The 2019 Lexus UX 250h F-Sport is presented as a significant upgrade over the older CT 200h, offering a more modern hybrid powertrain with a combined ... more181 horsepower and standard all-wheel drive. The reviewer praises its quiet ride quality, comfortable seats, and excellent fuel efficiency, achieving an average of 38 MPG in real-world testing. However, the vehicle falls short in several key areas. The reviewer criticizes its classification as an SUV, deeming it more of a tall hatchback with limited rear-seat and cargo space (17 cubic feet). The F-Sport trim's sporty aspirations are undermined by numb steering and a disappointing, artificial V6 engine sound that the reviewer found particularly egregious. Acceleration is deemed adequate but not exciting for its price point, with a 0-60 mph time around 8.5 seconds. While reliable and fuel-efficient, the UX 250h is ultimately seen as less desirable and practical than competitors like the Volvo XC40 or even mainstream options like the Toyota RAV4, especially considering its $42,000 as-tested price. less
The 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is an Affordable Car That Goes Nearly 700 Miles on a Tank of Fuel
The 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is presented as an affordable and efficient commuter car, excelling in fuel economy with an EPA-rated 52 MPG combined a... morend a real-world test achieving 55 MPG. The reviewer highlights its low starting price (under $24,000) and the impressive nearly 700-mile cruising range as major advantages. However, the vehicle is criticized for its lack of performance, with a 0-60 mph time of around 10.5 seconds, significantly slower than competitors like the Honda Insight. The interior and exterior styling are deemed basic, with the reviewer noting the base LE trim's uninspired design, 15-inch wheels that resemble hubcaps, and a lack of premium materials. While the standard safety features and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay are appreciated, the absence of Android Auto and features like a wireless charger or leather-wrapped steering wheel detract from its appeal. The reviewer concludes that while it's a reliable and efficient transportation appliance, it lacks desirability and excitement, suggesting that a larger Camry Hybrid LE might be a better value proposition for some buyers. less
A Year Later... Is the Tesla Model 3 Still the Car of the Future?
After a year of ownership and nearly 12,000 miles, the reviewer remains highly impressed with the Tesla Model 3 Performance, despite acknowledging its... more imperfections. The "car of the future" claim holds strong, largely due to the unique driving experience, seamless integration with modern lifestyles, and the continually improving technology via over-the-air updates. The reviewer highlights the instant acceleration, minimal maintenance, and the surprisingly practical charging infrastructure. While initial build quality issues like a replaced glass roof and panel gaps are noted, Tesla's commitment to improvement is recognized. The reviewer particularly praises the intuitive touchscreen, the surprisingly comfortable white vegan interior, and the innovative features like the gaming console and the advanced Navigate on Autopilot system, which is described as "mind-blowing." The track mode capability is also tested, showcasing the car's performance potential, albeit with a significant energy draw. Ultimately, the Model 3 Performance is lauded for its range, technology, and driving dynamics, making it a compelling choice that has converted the reviewer to the electric vehicle movement. less
Does the Best Compact Sport Sedan Come from BMW or Tesla? – 3-Series vs. Model 3
The BMW 3-Series (G20 330i) and Tesla Model 3 (Performance) are pitted against each other to determine the best compact sport sedan. While the BMW 3-S... moreeries boasts a more traditional luxury interior with improved steering feel over its predecessor, it struggles to recapture the "secret sauce" that made it iconic. The reviewer notes a lack of desirability and a feeling of clinging to the past, despite a competent powertrain and improved ride quality. The Tesla Model 3, conversely, is lauded for its modern, minimalist interior, innovative technology, and exhilarating electric performance. Although the reviewer acknowledges the Model 3's interior materials feel cheaper and road noise is more pronounced, its overall desirability, innovative features, and strong sales figures solidify its position as the segment leader. The Tesla Model 3 is crowned the winner for its forward-thinking approach and superior value proposition. less
Does The 2019 Hyundai Nexo Fuel Cell Preview A Hydrogen Future?
The 2019 Hyundai Nexo presents a compelling, albeit niche, alternative to battery electric vehicles, particularly for those seeking a unique ownership... more experience and a commitment to hydrogen fuel cell technology. The reviewer highlights its practical SUV body, spacious interior, and impressive 380-mile range (on the Blue trim), which is achieved without the lengthy charging times associated with EVs, instead offering a rapid 5-minute refueling process. Positives include its distinctive styling, comfortable interior with sustainable materials, and advanced features like the 360-degree camera and remote parking. However, the Nexo is not without its drawbacks. The reviewer notes a slight delay in acceleration due to the fuel cell's power delivery, a less engaging driving feel compared to some EVs, and a somewhat cluttered button layout on the center console. The primary hurdles remain the nascent hydrogen infrastructure, with limited stations and the high cost of hydrogen fuel, although leasing programs and complimentary fuel for a period mitigate this for early adopters. Ultimately, the Nexo is positioned as an interesting proposition for trendsetters in California, but widespread adoption hinges on infrastructure development and cost reduction. less
Can the 2019 Audi A8L Dethrone Mercedes-Benz As The Technology Leader?
The 2019 Audi A8L presents a compelling, albeit conservative, alternative in the flagship luxury sedan segment. While its exterior design is deemed to... moreo bland by the reviewer, the interior technology and comfort features are highly praised, including massaging seats, a sophisticated infotainment system with multiple screens, and an effective fragrance ionizer. The reviewer highlights the significant improvements in rear-seat space and amenities, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer to be chauffeured. The 48-volt mild-hybrid V6 powertrain is found to be sufficiently powerful and refined for daily driving, offering smooth acceleration and quiet operation, though the reviewer expresses a desire for more potent V8 or S8 variants. Despite its technological prowess and luxurious appointments, the A8L's conservative styling and the omission of advanced features like Level 3 autonomy in the US market are noted as potential drawbacks. Priced competitively against the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the A8L is considered a strong contender, particularly for buyers seeking advanced tech and comfort over aggressive styling. less
Can The 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus Challenge Tesla For Long EV Range?
The 2019 Nissan Leaf Plus is presented as a practical and conventional electric commuter, aiming to challenge established players like Tesla. The revi... moreewer highlights its improved 226-mile range and 214 horsepower as significant upgrades over the standard model, making it a more competitive offering. Positives include a comfortable ride, user-friendly interior with standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a practical hatchback design offering good cargo space. However, the reviewer notes a lack of premium materials, with extensive use of hard plastics throughout the cabin, and the absence of a telescoping steering wheel adjustment is a notable drawback for driving position. While acceleration is improved, it's described as feeling somewhat sluggish from a standstill, with torque limitations suspected to prevent wheelspin. The reviewer also points out the lack of all-wheel-drive as a missed opportunity, especially given the car's price point when optioned up. Ultimately, the Leaf Plus is seen as a solid, affordable EV option, particularly with the tax credit, but it lacks the 'special feeling' that might sway buyers from competitors. less
The 2019 Mini Countryman S E Is A Quirky Plug-In Hybrid Suv
The 2019 Mini Countryman S E Plug-In Hybrid is presented as a quirky and unique offering in the compact SUV segment. While it boasts Mini's signa... moreture charming design and a solid, European driving feel derived from its BMW underpinnings, the reviewer highlights several significant drawbacks. The electric-only range of approximately 12 miles is deemed insufficient, especially when compared to competitors like the Subaru Crosstrek Plug-in Hybrid. Performance is a mixed bag; while the combined 221 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque provide decent acceleration, the electric motor alone feels weak, often requiring the gasoline engine to engage even for moderate overtakes. Interior quality, particularly the manual cloth seats in a high-priced tester, is criticized as an "insult." Despite its practicality for a Mini, with usable rear-seat space and no loss in cargo capacity, the steep starting price of $36,900 (and a tested price of $45,750) without key features like power seats or adaptive cruise control, makes it a difficult recommendation. The reviewer suggests that for the money, a regular Cooper S or JCW model might be a better choice, or waiting for Mini to significantly improve the battery capacity and reduce the price. less
Has 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS 580 Become The S-Class Of SUVs?
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS 580 is presented as the 'S-Class of SUVs,' and after a thorough review, it largely lives up to this moniker. The ... morevehicle boasts a completely redesigned platform, offering increased dimensions and a more spacious interior compared to its predecessor. Key highlights include the new electrified powertrains, particularly the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system in the GLS 580, delivering a potent 483 horsepower and a refined driving experience. The interior is a significant upgrade, featuring dual 12.3-inch displays, luxurious materials, and advanced technology like the MBUX infotainment system with augmented reality navigation. The reviewer praises the ride comfort, especially with the optional E-Active Body Control suspension, and the quiet cabin, which rivals the best in the segment. While the exterior design is considered somewhat conservative and potentially minivan-like by some, the interior appointments and technological innovations are deemed class-leading. The third-row seating is surprisingly accommodating, and the power-folding seats and cargo space are practical. The reviewer notes that while the GLS 580 is expensive, it offers substantial value through standard equipment and advanced features, making it a compelling, albeit premium, choice for families seeking ultimate luxury and technology in a large SUV. less
The 2019 NSX Reminds You That Acura Is Honda's Performance Division
The 2019 Acura NSX refresh offers a compelling, albeit subtle, update to an already impressive hybrid supercar. The reviewer highlights its potent per... moreformance, particularly the exhilarating launch control and the engaging driving dynamics in Sport+ mode, which allow it to compete with established European rivals and even outperform electric performance cars. The exterior design, with minor tweaks like the body-colored grille, remains striking and head-turning. However, the interior is noted as a significant letdown, suffering from extensive parts-sharing with other Acura models, a dated infotainment system, and a lack of premium feel expected at this price point. The reviewer also expresses a strong desire for more power, a convertible option, and a hotter Type R variant to truly elevate the NSX's exotic appeal and better match contemporary hypercars. While the NSX excels in performance and daily drivability for a supercar, its interior and the subtle nature of the refresh prevent it from feeling truly special compared to its competitors. less
2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid – The Most Gas Efficient SUV in America
This video review of the 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid highlights its position as a leading option in the compact crossover segment, particularly for those ... moreseeking fuel efficiency. The reviewer notes that the hybrid variant, which accounts for a significant portion of RAV4 sales, has received an extensive overhaul for 2019. Key advantages emphasized include its impressive 219 horsepower and a projected 40 MPG combined fuel economy, all offered at a modest price increase over non-hybrid models. The RAV4 Hybrid is presented as a compelling daily driver, promising to meet the needs of most American consumers. While the video doesn't delve into specific drawbacks, the overall tone suggests a strong endorsement of the RAV4 Hybrid's value and efficiency. less
