The review... moreer highlights the 3.0L turbocharged inline-six mild-hybrid system, praising its 429 horsepower and 4MATIC all-wheel drive for delivering exhilarating acceleration and confident handling, with a claimed 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds. The reviewer particularly enjoyed the car's responsiveness, especially in Sport Plus mode, and the ability to tailor the driving dynamics through various drive modes and suspension settings.

The 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid EX FWD is presented as a compelling family-focused three-row SUV, impressing the reviewers with its smooth, quiet, and com... moreposed ride, even on rougher surfaces. Key highlights include its impressive fuel economy, achieving an average of 34 MPG in real-world mixed driving, and a comfortable, spacious interior that doesn't feel overly large. The reviewer particularly appreciated the unobtrusive yet effective driver assistance technologies and the intuitive climate controls. While the EX trim lacks some premium features like ventilated seats, a digital gauge cluster, and a 360-degree camera found in higher trims or competitors, its starting price of $37,820 is seen as a significant advantage, especially when compared to a similarly equipped Ford Explorer hybrid priced at $41,000.

Key positives include its handsome styling, comfortable captain's chairs in the second row, and the efficient hybrid powertrain delivering 227 horsepower.

Despite these points, the Sorento EX Hybrid is praised for its strong value proposition, undercutting the Explorer significantly while offering hybrid technology at a lower price point than comparable trims of its competitor. less

The reviewer highlights the attractive styling, particularly the black chrome accents and the functional aspects like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires and Brembo brakes. Interior features like the supportive red leather seats and the performance-oriented flat-bottom steering wheel are also noted positively. However, the vehicle's days are numbered, as Kia is discontinuing it to make way for electric alternatives like the upcoming EV6 GT. Criticisms are minimal, with the reviewer pointing out fake hood extractors and a less modern, non-interactive gauge cluster compared to newer vehicles. Despite these minor points, the Stinger GT1 is presented as a practical, enjoyable, and well-executed internal combustion performance car that will be missed. less

Its interior is praised for its luxurious, "living room on wheels" feel, highlighted by reclining second-row captain's chairs with ottomans, a 1080P rear entertainment system, and four-zone climate control, making it ideal for long road trips and family entertainment. The exterior styling is noted for being more SUV-like than a traditional minivan, with sculpted lines and Supra-inspired cues. Positives include the hybrid powertrain offering excellent fuel economy (35 mpg combined for AWD), ample storage, and a plethora of cupholders and charging ports. However, the low rear hatch height is a significant drawback for taller individuals, and the reviewer experienced headaches with the digital rearview mirror.

The 2022 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD is presented as a surprisingly luxurious and practical people hauler, challenging the traditional minivan stigma. ... moreThe reviewer highlights its Lexus-like interior appointments, comfortable ride, and exceptional fuel economy, achieving over 600 miles of potential range and a tested 33.5 MPG in mixed driving. Key positives include the spacious and versatile interior with highly adjustable second-row captain's chairs, ample cargo capacity, and a quiet cabin. The hybrid powertrain, while not sporty with 245 horsepower, provides smooth transitions and adequate power for cruising and passing. However, a significant drawback is the extremely grainy backup camera system, which is deemed a letdown for a vehicle in this price range. The reviewer also notes the low rear hatch height and the potential for the engine to struggle under heavy load. Despite these criticisms, the Sienna Platinum is highly recommended for long road trips and families seeking comfort and luxury, with the reviewer considering it a bargain at its $55,920 tested price. less

The reviewer notes the IONIQ 5's unique, angular, and pixelated styling, emphasizing its spacious interior, particularly the sliding center console and reclining rear seats, making it ideal for passenger comfort.

Sub $40,000 EV??? Is Matt Buying a Fisker Ocean?
The Fisker Ocean is presented as a significant disruptor in the EV market, aiming to combine affordability, sustainability, and desirable features. Th... moree vehicle's starting price under $40,000 (potentially near $30,000 after incentives) is a major draw, positioning it competitively against established players. Fisker emphasizes its commitment to sustainability through recycled materials in the interior (like fishing nets and t-shirts) and even recycled carbon fiber in the wheels. A standout feature is the optional solar roof, which the company claims can add up to 2,000 miles of range annually under ideal conditions, though this is acknowledged to be highly dependent on climate. The reviewer highlights the innovative rotating screen and the 'California Mode' with all windows rolling down.

While the design is bold and innovative, with unique features like pillarless coach doors and a panoramic glass roof, the reviewers acknowledge that many elements are unlikely to make it to production. The concept's focus on sustainability, hygiene (UVC sterilization), and creating a "living space on wheels" is highlighted as its core strength, offering a glimpse into Hyundai's future vision for mobility. less

The interior is praised for its comfort, featuring massaging seats and ample space, making it ideal for long highway cruises. However, the reviewers express significant reservations. They criticize the artificial engine sounds piped through the stereo, the noisy operation of the hybrid system when the engine kicks in, and the perceived "watering down" of the FX4 off-road package with street tires. The complex, expensive tailgate features are also questioned for their practicality and replacement cost.

Key positives include its instant torque, seamless one-pedal driving in traffic, and practicality, with ample space for passengers and cargo, even fitting a 29-inch mountain bike. However, the vehicle's major drawback is its range, especially for road trips. The reviewers found that at 80% charge, the usable range dropped to around 190 miles, necessitating frequent charging stops every two hours on longer journeys. The lack of cooled seats is also noted as a significant demerit, particularly for a vehicle with a glass roof in warmer climates. While the driving dynamics and overall experience are praised, the reviewers ultimately conclude that it would not be their sole vehicle due to range limitations and the current state of EV charging infrastructure, leaving them not quite ready to buy one yet. less

The 4xe offers a ... moreunique, silent off-roading experience with over 20 miles of electric-only range, praised for its seamless operation and impressive capability even in all-electric mode. The Rubicon 392, on the other hand, delivers a visceral, loud, and powerful performance thanks to its 6.4L HEMI V8. The review highlights the 392's exceptional engine braking, which effectively acts as a one-pedal driving system on descents, and its aggressive Xtreme Recon package with 35-inch tires and increased ground clearance. Both vehicles are lauded for their trail-rated capability and Jeep heritage, with the choice boiling down to user preference: quiet, efficient exploration versus raw, unadulterated V8 power. The reviewer concludes there's no wrong choice, as both offer incredible off-road prowess and well-appointed interiors. less
