2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS: Is It Really a Super Sport or a Flop?
The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS is a powerful and stylish electric SUV, though its "Super Sport" designation comes with caveats. The reviewe... morer praises its aggressive styling, particularly on the SS trim, the comfortable and unique interior with its orange accents, and the impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in as little as 3.1 seconds. The spacious interior, quiet cabin, and advanced Super Cruise system are also highlighted as positives. However, significant criticisms include the vehicle's substantial weight, which leads to a noticeable "jiggle" when coming to a stop, a flaw not present in competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The infotainment system is a major disappointment, lacking Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with a clunky built-in navigation and voice command system. Charging speed is also noted as being slower than expected for its battery size, and the power charge door is excessively slow. While the SS trim offers a thrilling driving experience, the reviewer suggests that for the price, competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (especially the N model) offer a more complete package, making the Blazer EV SS a compromise for GM loyalists seeking modern EV amenities. less
2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited AWD Family Review with Child Seat Installation
The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Limited AWD is presented as a strong contender for a family vehicle, with the reviewers expressing a high likelihood of purch... moreasing it if they were in the market. The exterior design is praised for its futuristic yet non-cheesy aesthetic, and the interior is lauded for its thoughtful use of color, textures, and materials, creating a simple yet interesting space. Practicality is a key highlight, with ample rear-seat space, comfortable heated and ventilated front seats (though noted as firm), and a versatile cargo area that accommodates child seats with ease. The reviewers were particularly impressed with the real-world range exceeding EPA estimates, achieving over 300 miles on a charge compared to the rated 269 miles, and appreciated the fast charging capabilities. Driving dynamics are described as smooth, easy, and comfortable, even on rough surfaces. However, minor criticisms include the rear camera mirror's visibility limitations in certain conditions and the less-than-ideal placement of the 360 camera button, which only functions at low speeds. Despite these points, the overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive, positioning the IONIQ 5 as a top-tier EV tested by the channel. less
2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited AWD: The Best EV SUV on Sale for 2025
The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Limited AWD is presented as a top contender for the best EV SUV on the market. The reviewer highlights significant incrementa... morel upgrades for the 2025 model year, including a larger 84 kWh battery offering an improved EPA-estimated range of 269 miles (though real-world testing saw up to 322 miles). Key improvements noted are the addition of a rear wiper, a much-needed convenience, and the native NACS port, enhancing charging flexibility. The interior is praised for its comfortable and spacious cabin, featuring a unique green and cream color scheme, ample storage, and user-friendly physical controls alongside a dual-zone climate system. The driving experience is described as car-like and comfortable, with a low center of gravity due to the battery placement providing excellent balance and ride quality, outperforming heavier competitors like the Chevy Blazer EV. While the new aerodynamic wheel designs are considered less stylish than previous iterations, the overall package is deemed a supremely comfortable, well-rounded, and luxurious option for daily and family use, especially considering its near-$60,000 price point for the fully loaded Limited trim. less
2026 Toyota bZ vs 2025 bZ4X: What All Has Changed?
The 2026 Toyota bZ represents a significant and necessary refresh for the electric SUV, addressing key weaknesses of its predecessor. The reviewer hig... morehlights substantial improvements in range, now estimated at up to 314 miles (a 25% increase), and a dramatic power boost, with AWD models reaching 338 hp (a 50% increase). Visually, the updated front-end with color-matched fenders and revised lighting offers a cleaner, more appealing aesthetic. Inside, the most welcome changes include the elimination of excessive gloss black trim in favor of a more durable material, dual wireless chargers, and a much-improved infotainment system with a 14-inch screen and integrated HVAC controls, heavily borrowing from Lexus. The reviewer also notes the strategic relocation of the charging port to the passenger side for easier access to Tesla chargers. While some minor annoyances like the steering wheel-mounted screen remain, the overall consensus is that the 2026 bZ is now a genuinely competitive product, a vast improvement over the outgoing bZ4X, making it a compelling option in the EV market. less
2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro: How Useful Are the IsoDynamic Seats?
The 2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro is put to the test on an off-road course, with a particular focus on its innovative IsoDynamic seats. While the truck d... moreemonstrates impressive capability with its i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, locking differentials, and advanced suspension, the reviewer finds the IsoDynamic seats to be largely ineffective and even detrimental on technical terrain. They offer little discernible benefit in absorbing jolts and vibrations, yet significantly reduce rear-seat legroom, making the back seats practically unusable. The reviewer also notes the truck's advanced technology, such as the 360-degree camera system and large infotainment screen, are beneficial for off-roading. However, the intrusive electronic nannies and a slow, convoluted four-wheel-drive selector system detract from the overall experience. Ultimately, the reviewer suggests that for serious off-roaders, the IsoDynamic seats are an unnecessary and costly feature, recommending alternative trims like the Trail Hunter for a more focused off-road package. less
2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 First Drive in a $76,000+ 3 Row EV
The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 Calligraphy trim presents itself as a compelling, albeit expensive, flagship electric SUV. The reviewer highlights its suprem... moreely comfortable and luxurious "living room on wheels" interior, emphasizing the plush ride quality, ample space across all three rows, and thoughtful amenities like heated/ventilated seats and a head-up display. The dual-motor AWD system provides ample power and instantaneous torque, making it feel quick despite its size. Positives include the futuristic "parametric pixel" design, impressive cargo space, and the convenience of the NACS port alongside fast CCS charging capabilities. However, the reviewer notes the $76,000 price tag is steep, and expresses minor concerns about the reflectivity of interior materials and the chopped-off design of the side mirrors, which slightly hamper visibility. The lack of the "Ergo Motion" massage seat function on all captain's chairs in this top trim is also a point of critique. Despite these drawbacks, the IONIQ 9 is positioned as a strong contender, offering a more luxurious and futuristic alternative to traditional large SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe, with the added benefits of EV ownership. less
2025 Audi SQ6 E-tron Family Review With Child Seat Installation
The 2025 Audi SQ6 e-tron Prestige is presented as a sporty, tech-forward luxury electric SUV. Reviewers praise its athletic exterior styling and the i... morempressive, high-resolution interior screens, including the augmented reality head-up display and passenger-side screen. The driving dynamics are described as powerful with instantaneous torque, and the adaptive air suspension offers a comfortable and smooth ride across various drive modes. However, the vehicle falls short in practical family aspects. Rear passenger space is noted as being tight, and the absence of ventilated seats, especially in a vehicle priced over $83,000 and in a hot climate like Texas, is a significant drawback. The reviewer also found the automatic start/stop system to be overly complex and redundant. While a very nice vehicle, the SQ6 e-tron Prestige is seen as missing key features for its price point, particularly concerning rear-seat comfort and practicality for families. less
2025 Audi SQ6 E-Tron: Audi Is Stepping Up Their EV Game
The 2025 Audi SQ6 e-tron is presented as a significant step forward for Audi's electric vehicle lineup, particularly within the luxury SUV segmen... moret. The review highlights its robust performance, boasting 509 horsepower in boost mode and a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds, underpinned by a 100 kWh battery and quattro all-wheel drive. Key features like the 800V architecture enabling rapid charging (10-80% in 21 minutes) and the luxurious interior appointments, including Nappa leather, massaging front seats, and an augmented reality head-up display, are emphasized. The vehicle offers a practical 275-mile EPA estimated range and a versatile cargo space. While specific criticisms are not detailed in the provided information, the overall tone suggests a strong positive reception, positioning the SQ6 e-tron as a compelling, high-performance electric SUV. less
2025 GMC Hummer EV 3X SUV Family Review with Child Seat Installation
The 2025 GMC Hummer EV 3X SUV is reviewed as a highly desirable, albeit impractical, vehicle that excels in style and presence. The reviewer praises i... morets "big boxy brrawy stature" and the surprisingly spacious interior, noting it feels less utilitarian than a Bronco. Key highlights include the ease of removing the roof panels, ample storage, and the comfortable, well-appointed cabin with creature comforts like heated and ventilated seats. The rear seat space is deemed excellent, easily accommodating three car seats, and the reviewer confirms the child seat installation is straightforward, even in rear-facing mode, thanks to the adjustable suspension and ample legroom. However, the review points out some drawbacks: the cream interior shows dark spots easily, the infotainment system's button layout can be confusing, and the digital screen's placement for the speed limit is suboptimal. Real-world range is noted as being consistent but lower than advertised, averaging around 280 miles from its 205 kWh battery, with an efficiency of 1.4 miles per kWh. Despite these points, the reviewer expresses a strong desire to keep the vehicle, emphasizing its unique appeal and driving dynamics, particularly the instant torque and maneuverability afforded by four-wheel steering. less
2025 Gmc Hummer Ev 3X SUV Is This The Successor To The K5 Blazer
The 2025 GMC Hummer EV 3X SUV is presented as a modern spiritual successor to the K5 Blazer, emphasizing its immense size, technological integration, ... moreand off-road prowess. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in approximately 3.5 seconds despite its 9,000-pound weight, thanks to its three electric motors producing over 800 horsepower. Key features praised include the comfortable on-road ride, superior to competitors like the Bronco and Wrangler due to its four-wheel independent suspension and adaptive air ride system, which offers up to 16 inches of ground clearance. The removable roof panels and Crab Walk feature are also noted as significant positives. However, the review points out considerable drawbacks, primarily concerning visibility issues due to the vehicle's large size and design, particularly the flat side mirrors creating large blind spots. The infotainment system's slow response time for drive mode selection and the placement of the speed limit indicator behind the steering wheel are also criticized. Despite these shortcomings, the reviewer confirms the advertised range of over 300 miles is accurate, with real-world efficiency around 1.5 miles per kWh. While acknowledging its off-road capabilities, the reviewer suggests the extreme off-road package might be more suitable for serious trail use, but for on-road use, this 'look at me' vehicle excels with its blend of comfort, technology, and distinctive presence. less
2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Flash Family Review with Child Seat Installation
The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Flash is presented as a practical and spacious family vehicle, particularly suited for the Texas market where pickup tru... morecks are highly popular. The review highlights its near-identical styling to the gasoline F-150, a deliberate choice to appeal to a broad audience. Inside, the cabin is praised for its comfort, especially the cloth seats and adjustable pedals, though some premium features like memory seats and accented stitching are noted as missing compared to higher trims. The rear seat offers ample legroom and amenities, including power outlets and ample storage, making it suitable for child seat installation with accessible LATCH points. The frunk is a significant plus for secure storage. However, the road trip experience revealed challenges with charging infrastructure reliability and charger availability, leading to stressful situations and requiring extensive planning. While the ride is smoother than many trucks due to its independent rear suspension and low battery weight, it still feels like a large truck. The reviewer notes that towing significantly impacts range, making it less ideal for heavy or long-distance towing. Despite range estimates being optimistic, the overall cost of ownership is presented as a strong advantage over gasoline counterparts, especially with current incentives. The Flash trim is considered a bargain compared to other tested trucks, offering substantial value for its price. less
2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Flash: Who Is This Truck For?
The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Flash is presented as a compelling option for Texans who desire a pickup truck primarily for family use, with occasional... more utility needs. The reviewer highlights the practicality of the "Mega Power Frunk" with its ample storage and power outlets, and praises the truck's familiar F-150 driving dynamics, which make it feel "normal" compared to other EV trucks. The independent rear suspension contributes to a smooth ride. Performance is a strong suit, with the Flash achieving 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds, offering ample acceleration for passing and merging. However, the reviewer notes that towing heavy or long distances remains a significant limitation for EVs, making the gas F-150 a better choice for such tasks. The EPA-estimated range of 320 miles is also questioned, with real-world highway efficiency observed at 1.3-1.5 miles per kWh, suggesting a need for a larger battery for longer trips. The reviewer finds the interior well-appointed, though lacking some premium features like ventilated seats or a head-up display. BlueCruise is functional but considered less advanced than GM's Super Cruise due to its inability to perform automatic lane changes. Ultimately, the Flash is recommended for those who prioritize its spaciousness, comfort, and EV running costs as a daily family vehicle, rather than a dedicated workhorse for heavy towing. less
The Ultimate 2025 Minivan Comparison: Kia vs. Toyota vs. Honda vs. Chrysler: Who Makes the Best?
This comprehensive comparison of four mainstream minivans for 2025 highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each model. The Kia Carnival SX Prestige... more is praised for its SUV-like styling, luxurious interior touches, and innovative features like the "minding seat" and ceiling-mounted air vents, though it lacks a pass-through. The Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD impresses with its luxurious interior, efficient hybrid powertrain, and unique features like a built-in vacuum and cool box, but it offers seven-passenger seating with captain's chairs. The Honda Odyssey Elite stands out as a traditional minivan with a stylish facelift, a highly configurable and removable second-row seat, and an available 1080p screen, though it lacks ceiling-mounted vents. The Chrysler Pacifica Limited, the "grandfather" of the segment, offers the exclusive Stow and Go seating (non-hybrid models) and a unique tailgate feature for its third row, but the tested trim was not the top-tier. Overall, the review emphasizes that minivans are highly efficient family vehicles, urging viewers to overcome any stigma associated with them, with the Sienna being a particular favorite for one of the reviewers. less
Speed Date with the 2025 McLaren Artura Spider
The 2025 McLaren Artura Spider is presented as a "speed date" vehicle, offering a brief but impactful experience. The reviewer highlights it... mores stunning "papaya spark orange" paint and the "art and future" meaning behind its name, emphasizing McLaren's focus on driver feel and pushing boundaries. Key features praised include the telepathic steering, comfortable yet supportive Alcantara seats with a unique reclining mechanism, and the innovative "hands on throttle and stick" (HOAS) system derived from fighter jets. The hybrid V6 engine, producing nearly 700 horsepower from 3.0L twin turbos with a 120° V6 layout, is noted for its impressive power and sound, revving to 8,500 RPM. Despite its supercar performance, the Artura Spider is surprisingly comfortable and daily drivable, even over speed bumps thanks to a nose lift system. Its lightweight construction, with a carbon fiber tub contributing to a curb weight of just over 3,200 lbs, is a significant advantage. The reviewer's only minor complaint is the "learned behavior" required for ingress/egress with the dihedral doors. Overall, the Artura Spider is lauded for its dual personality, balancing technology with authenticity, and delivering an exhilarating yet refined driving experience that turns heads. less
2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited AWD Family Review with Child Seat Installation
The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited AWD is presented as a versatile "tweener" vehicle, bridging the gap between wagons and SUVs, and servin... moreg as a replacement for the Toyota Venza. Reviewers found its exterior styling polarizing, with the side profile being a particular point of contention, described as resembling an "old person's car" by one reviewer, despite attracting attention. Inside, the cabin is praised for its spaciousness in both front and rear rows, and the design is generally liked, though the excessive use of gloss black trim is noted as a dust and smudge magnet. Comfort in the seats is deemed "just okay" for long journeys. Practicality shines through with ample cargo space and a straightforward child seat installation process, including easy access to LATCH anchors. Driving dynamics are described as pleasant, with a comfortable ride, but the vehicle suffers from a large turning radius and overly sensitive driver-assist systems that can be intrusive. The hybrid system operates seamlessly, and while real-world fuel economy (averaging 32.7 MPG) is slightly below the EPA estimates (39/37/38 MPG), it's considered good for a hybrid. The main drawback at the $52,149 as-tested price is the lack of a head-up display, a feature expected at this price point. less
2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited AWD: Is It a Better Lexus Than Our Last Lexus?
The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia Limited AWD is presented as a premium offering that blurs the line between a car and an SUV, aiming to provide a Lexus-li... moreke experience under the Toyota badge. The reviewer highlights its comfortable and spacious interior, particularly praising the quality of the leather seats, the advanced infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and the smooth, car-like driving dynamics. The ride quality is described as "Goldilocks," striking a good balance between comfort and handling, and the reviewer found it a more pleasant driving environment than a recently tested Lexus ES300h. Positives include the premium feel, spacious rear seating, and the effective "invisible car" 360-degree camera system. However, criticisms are leveled at Toyota's continued use of buttons in low, hard-to-see locations, excessive gloss black trim that attracts dust, and the road noise from the 21-inch Bridgestone Turanza tires, which detract from the otherwise premium cabin experience. The hybrid powertrain delivers a respectable 0-60 mph time of around 7.2 seconds, and while fuel economy is good, it's noted as being less than the older hybrid system in the Lexus ES300h. Overall, the Crown Signia is deemed a strong contender, potentially outperforming its luxury counterpart in certain aspects. less
2025 Lexus ES 300h F Sport Handling Family Review with Child Seat Installation
The 2025 Lexus ES 300h F Sport Handling is presented as a luxurious and sporty sedan with practical family-oriented features. Reviewers appreciate its... more athletic exterior styling and the sporty interior ambiance, particularly the red and black contrast and the LC-inspired gauge cluster. Comfort is highlighted, with heated and ventilated seats that remember their last setting, a feature praised over competitors. The hybrid powertrain is noted for its smooth operation and impressive fuel economy (rated 43/44/44 MPG), though the reviewer acknowledges the "F Sport" designation feels more like an appearance package than a performance upgrade, with the ride being described as slightly bouncy rather than plush. Practicality is addressed with a detailed child seat installation, rated a B+, and a decent trunk space, though the lack of folding rear seats is a drawback for larger items. The vehicle's price, starting at $44,615 and tested at $53,585, is considered competitive for its features and luxury, making it a strong contender for families seeking a sporty yet functional sedan, although the reviewer still leans towards SUVs for practicality. less
2025 Lexus ES 300h F Sport Handling // I Was Wrong!
The 2025 Lexus ES 300h F Sport Handling is presented as a surprisingly capable and comfortable cruiser, challenging preconceived notions about front-w... moreheel-drive Lexus vehicles. While not a performance machine, its hybrid powertrain delivers excellent fuel economy (EPA estimated 43/44/44 mpg) and a quiet, refined ride that excels at isolating occupants from the road. The F Sport Handling package adds sporty aesthetics and an adaptive suspension that effectively masks imperfections. The reviewer highlights the luxurious interior, intuitive physical controls, and impressive 360-degree camera system with an 'invisible car' feature. Downsides include a lack of rear seat headroom due to the sloping roofline and the aging platform's technology, such as a USB-A port for wired CarPlay. Despite its focus on comfort over outright performance, the ES 300h F Sport Handling offers significant value, especially considering its $53,585 as-tested price, making it a compelling choice for those prioritizing a serene and efficient luxury sedan experience. less
2026 Cadillac Vistiq at the Chicago Auto Show
The 2026 Cadillac Vistiq, presented at the Chicago Auto Show, is positioned as an all-electric replacement for the XT6, aiming to be a popular three-r... moreow EV crossover. Built on GM's Ultium platform, it boasts impressive performance figures, with a claimed 3.7-second 0-60 mph time in "velocity max mode," powered by a 102 kWh battery delivering 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. Cadillac estimates a 300-mile range. The interior features a premium feel with nice colors, textures, and materials, though some gloss black trim is noted. A standout feature is the dual wireless charging pads. The reviewer highlights the convenient seat controls on the door panels and the expansive 33-inch curved LED screen. Criticisms include the haptic touch controls on the steering wheel and the overuse of gloss black. Practicality is a strong suit, with flexible cargo space thanks to power-folding third-row seats and underfloor storage. The second and third rows offer good space and amenities, including rear climate controls and USB ports. While the exterior styling is generally well-received, the rear design is considered less appealing than other Cadillac EVs. The reviewer anticipates the Vistiq will be a successful model for Cadillac. less
2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Xrt: What Compromises Were Made to Go Off-Road?
The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 XRT is presented as an off-road-capable variant, offering an inch more ground clearance, improved approach/departure angles, ... moreand rugged styling with unique fascias and cladding. While it boasts terrain modes (snow, mud, sand) and all-terrain tires, the review emphasizes that it is not a rock crawler due to the lack of underbody protection for the battery. Key compromises for the XRT trim include the absence of a panoramic glass roof, memory seats, rear sunshades, ventilated seats, and leather upholstery, opting instead for H-Tex seating with XRT branding. A significant drawback highlighted is the camera system, which deactivates at speeds above 5 mph, limiting its usefulness in off-road scenarios. Despite these limitations, the XRT is deemed a capable desert runner and a fun family vehicle for exploring state or national parks, with a minimal range penalty (around 10 miles) compared to the Limited trim. less
2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Limited First Drive - What Has Changed?
The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 receives a midcycle refresh that, while not groundbreaking, introduces thoughtful and meaningful updates. The exterior stylin... moreg remains largely the same, a deliberate choice given its popularity, with subtle tweaks and new color options like the matte white and cosmic blue (exclusive to the XRT trim). Inside, the "Limited" trim, as tested, features a reworked center console with a movable "island" and the addition of physical buttons for climate controls and heated/ventilated seats, a welcome change for user convenience. A significant functional upgrade is the long-awaited rear wiper, addressing a common complaint. The vehicle also adopts the NACS (Tesla) charge port, though it comes with a CCS adapter for broader compatibility. Hyundai has also increased the battery range across all models due to chemistry changes, which also allows for slightly faster charging. The driving experience is praised for its comfort, stability on winding roads, and easy one-pedal driving modulation, even in adverse weather conditions. The vehicle's US production in Georgia makes it eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. Overall, the refresh refines an already popular EV, focusing on customer feedback to enhance usability and convenience. less
2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV LT at the Chicago Auto Show
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV LT, showcased at the Chicago Auto Show, presents a compelling value proposition, especially with a starting price under ... more$35,000. The reviewer highlights its surprisingly premium interior, featuring a two-tone design with contrasting stitching and high-quality "evotex" materials, which significantly elevate the cabin experience beyond typical expectations for Chevrolet. Attention to detail is noted in elements like the full-width light bars and hidden headlights. Practicality is also a strong suit, offering ample cargo space comparable to older SUVs, with a notable underfloor storage area, though the lack of a front trunk is mentioned. On the downside, the reviewer found the seating position not the most comfortable and noted that while the large screens are visually impressive, the exclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a significant drawback. The placement of the wireless charger within a large cubby is also criticized for hindering storage utility. Despite these points, the Equinox EV LT is positioned as a well-executed, stylish, and feature-rich EV option for the mainstream market. less

The interior is praised for its premium feel with vegan leather, wood, and metal accents, and the user-friendly digital gauge cluster and large infotainment screen are noted. Positives include the extensive off-road controls, integrated Apple Music and Spotify, and the comfortable, spacious cabin, particularly the stadium-style rear seats with under-seat storage and tri-zone climate control.

Overall, the R1T is presented as a capable and well-designed electric pickup truck with thoughtful features for adventure and daily use. less

The Tri Motor variant, starting at $105,900, boasts an estimated 370 miles of range and impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds with over 850 horsepower. The reviewer praises the distinctive styling, the functional and spacious front trunk, and the innovative tailgate design that doubles as a seating area.

The interior offers ample space, particularly in the second row with its tri-zone climate control and reclining seats. The third row is deemed usable for adults, comparable to competitors like the Kia EV9. The reviewer also tours the new Rivian Dallas space, emphasizing its family-friendly, lifestyle-oriented approach to car buying. less
