The plug-in hybrid 50e also sees improvements in power and electric range. While the driving dynamics remain refined and sporty, reviewers noted the suspension can feel a bit bouncy in sport mode, suggesting comfort mode with individualized settings is preferable.

2023 Toyota Crown Review: The Sedan Nobody Asked For?

The 2023 Toyota Crown Platinum presents a compelling, albeit niche, offering in a market dominated by SUVs. Reviewers praise the potent Hybrid Max pow... moreertrain, delivering 340 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission and surprisingly sporty handling for a hybrid. The adaptive variable suspension and responsive steering contribute to an engaging driving experience.

Interior highlights include a premium feel with soft materials and dual 12.3-inch screens, though the reviewer notes a disappointing inconsistency with hard plastics on the passenger side. The rear seat offers ample legroom, enhancing comfort. The exterior styling, particularly the two-tone options, is divisive, with a preference for solid colors and a wish for a hatchback or sportback design.

The reviewer also points out the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on lower trims as a notable omission at this price point. While it offers a more engaging drive than some competitors, its practicality for larger families in the third row and cargo space is questioned compared to rivals like the Grand Highlander. less

Questions, Coffee & Cars Episode #17 // Drive on the Other Side of the Road!

Standard features like the 13.1-inch touchscreen, digital driver display, and Meridian sound system are highlighted as positives. However, the review repeatedly emphasizes that reliability remains a significant concern, with Land Rover ranking at the bottom of recent dependability studies.

The comfortable ride, smooth acceleration, and ample interior space, especially for rear passengers, are significant highlights. However, the review points out notable drawbacks, including the unconventional and sometimes malfunctioning door handles, the absence of a rear wiper, and the glove box requiring screen interaction. While the AKG sound system is excellent, it doesn't quite match the top-tier system found in the Escalade. The reviewer also notes that the charging speed, while adequate, is not class-leading due to its 400-volt architecture, which GM opts for battery longevity. Despite these points, the LYRIQ is considered a strong contender, offering a blend of luxury, performance, and range that makes it a desirable option, though improvements to the door handles and rear wiper are strongly recommended. less

Reviewers praise its sophisticated and elegant interior, particularly the top-trim Nappa leather and Alcantara accents, suggesting it rivals luxury brands. The powerful 3.3L inline-six engine is noted for its performance, though concerns are raised about the new eight-speed automatic transmission's occasional jerkiness and delayed downshifts, even in sport mode. The steering is described as heavy, which enhances handling on twisty roads but might not appeal to those seeking lighter maneuverability. While the exterior design is considered handsome, the review points out that the best value in Canada is the GT model, and in the US, the Premium Plus, both featuring the standard engine. However, the top Signature trim, while luxurious, is criticized for lacking a second-row bench seat and for its higher price point, with reviewers expressing a desire to test lower trims to assess overall value.

Despite these drawbacks, the CX-90 is seen as a strong contender, particularly against premium brands like Acura, offering a compelling blend of performance, luxury, and driving engagement, though transmission refinement and the availability of lower trims for testing remain areas for improvement. less

All-New Mercedes Benz EQE Sedan Review

The Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4MATIC sedan is reviewed as a luxurious and polished electric vehicle, offering strong performance with its dual electric mo... moretors and impressive torque. Reviewers found the handling to be stable and the cabin remarkably quiet, a significant improvement over previous Mercedes EV braking feel. However, the design, while improved over the EQS, still carries an "egg shape" that may not appeal to all. Interior criticisms focus on the high-gloss black center console attracting fingerprints and dust, and the lower door panels using hard plastic, which detracts from the expected luxury. The digital driver display placement is also noted as suboptimal, leading some to prefer the optional MBUX Hyperscreen for its better layout. Rear seat comfort is a concern, with a high floor and an uncomfortable seat pitch for longer journeys, though it's considered better than the EQS sedan.

2023 Nissan Ariya Electric SUV Review

The 2023 Nissan Ariya electric SUV is reviewed as a surprisingly pleasant and premium offering, particularly excelling in its interior design and comf... moreort. The reviewers highlight the beautiful cabin, featuring wood inlays, backlit buttons, and comfortable "zero gravity" seats, positioning it as a standout in the non-luxury EV segment, even surpassing competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in perceived quality. While the acceleration is deemed sufficient for everyday driving and offers a "classic EV snap," the FWD model's 238 horsepower is noted as adequate rather than thrilling, with the AWD variants offering significantly more power. A key point of contention is the "e-step" system, which does not allow for one-pedal driving, a feature many EV buyers appreciate. The reviewer also found the suspension slightly firmer than some competitors, though they personally preferred it. The exterior design, initially polarizing, grew on the reviewers, described as "Timeless Japanese futurism." Despite its many strengths, the primary drawback identified is the price, especially for the higher trims, which enters luxury territory. Charging speeds are also considered moderate compared to some rivals, though home charging is deemed sufficient for most users. less

2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Review

The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Max is presented as a powerful and engaging option within the three-row SUV segment, praised for its 362 horse... morepower, 400 lb-ft of torque, and the responsive six-speed automatic transmission, which significantly differentiates it from CVT-equipped hybrids. Reviewers highlight its strong acceleration, planted feel, and refined driving dynamics, noting it doesn't feel as large as it is. The exterior design is described as a larger RAV4 with Lexus-like grille elements, and the Hybrid Max trim adds distinct styling cues like unique bumpers and dual exhaust. Inside, the spacious cabin is lauded for its logical layout, comfortable seating, ample storage, and a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen. While the Hybrid Max is acknowledged as a more expensive, performance-oriented choice, the base 2.5L hybrid is also commended for its surprising refinement and efficiency, making it a practical family hauler. A key takeaway is that the Grand Highlander offers superior third-row legroom compared to competitors like the Atlas and Telluride, and impressive cargo space. The reviewers express strong overall satisfaction, with a particular fondness for the Hybrid Max's driving experience and the base hybrid's efficiency and refinement. less

2023 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Review

The 1.6L turbocharged hybrid powertrain with a 6-speed automatic transmission is noted for providing a familiar and smooth driving feel, differentiating it from competitors using CVTs. While the interior design is considered good and functional, particularly the driver-focused infotainment screen, there's a critique regarding the excessive use of piano black trim. The reviewer also points out differences in standard features and trim levels between Canada and the US, with the Canadian market offering more standard features on lower trims but lacking wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on higher trims with larger screens. Despite not being the most fuel-efficient in its class compared to rivals like the RAV4 Hybrid, the Tucson Hybrid is lauded as a practical, spacious, and well-rounded option for families, offering good value and a comfortable ownership experience. less

The New 2024 Porsche Cayenne Review: New Engines, Interior and Design

The 2024 Porsche Cayenne receives a significant mid-cycle refresh, described by Porsche as one of its most extensive updates ever.

The base V6 and the E-Hybrid models also see power bumps and battery improvements, respectively. While the exterior design is praised for its muscular and chiseled look, the interior introduces a controversial digitalized dashboard, including a new shifter placement on the dash that reviewers found unintuitive and a point of frustration.

The interior is highlighted for its high-quality materials and the well-regarded MBUX infotainment system, despite its older interface lacking wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. However, significant drawbacks are identified: the vehicle's high price point, especially when compared to competitors like the Tesla Model Y which has seen price reductions, and its relatively limited range (221 miles/356 km). The charging speed is also noted as a limitation for road trips, topping out at 100 kW. The reviewer also points out the peculiar brake pedal feel, a transition issue between regenerative and friction braking, and the small, albeit present, third-row seating. Ultimately, the EQB is seen as a "stop-gap" vehicle, suggesting Mercedes-Benz may have rushed it to market, and its value proposition is questioned against more competitive offerings. less
