2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Review - Part 2
This follow-up review of the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 focuses on the author's experience after a week of daily driving, building upon a previous brie... moref encounter. The reviewer reiterates his strong admiration for the IONIQ 5's unique styling, noting it's a significant head-turner that garners positive attention.

The reviewer highlights the E-GMP platform's stability and the spaciousness it enables. Key strengths include its quiet ride, ample power, comfortable seating, and a good range that closely matches estimates. The reviewer also praises the fast charging capability due to the 800-volt architecture and the useful Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function. Positives also extend to the advanced driver-assistance systems, including a particularly effective blind-spot warning. However, minor ergonomic challenges were noted regarding finding an optimal driving position due to the steering wheel and binnacle placement for shorter drivers. The absence of a rear wiper is mentioned as a potential concern in adverse weather, though the defogger and spoiler design seemed to manage snow reasonably well.

2021/2022 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro AWD Quick Look
The reviewer provides a quick look at the 2021/2022 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro AWD, building on a previous comprehensive review of the RWD variant. The AWD v... moreersion adds a second, smaller motor to the front for increased horsepower and torque, resulting in a 0-60 mph time of approximately 5.8 seconds, about 1.5 seconds quicker than the RWD model. While this offers better traction, especially in adverse conditions, it comes at the cost of slightly reduced efficiency (22.5 kWh/100km) and range (386 km EPA). The reviewer notes the added weight (around 101 kg) makes the vehicle feel a bit more like an SUV. Driving impressions highlight a comfortable, quiet ride, adequate acceleration, and improved lane-keeping assist software. The reviewer reiterates that the ID.4's main strength is its value proposition, offering a solid, well-built, and practical package for families, despite not being the fastest or longest-range EV. The main drawback identified is the high demand and difficulty in acquiring one. Minor criticisms include the haptic controls and infotainment menu structure, though these are deemed acceptable. less

The 2022 Mazda MX-30 GT represents Mazda's initial entry into the all-electric market, presented as a stylish, well-built compact SUV primarily a... moreimed at urban commuting and as a secondary vehicle. The reviewer praises its distinctive design, comfortable and high-quality interior materials, and engaging driving dynamics, noting Mazda's successful effort to reduce abruptness in acceleration and braking. The ride is described as smooth and well-tuned, with good steering feel despite being electric. However, significant drawbacks are highlighted: the small 35.5 kWh battery offers a limited EPA-estimated range of 170 km (around 100 miles), which is considerably less than competitors, and the rear seats are cramped, making it essentially a 2+2 configuration. The reviewer also points out the high price point, especially for the GT trim, which, even after incentives, is substantial for a vehicle with such limited range and practicality for families or longer trips.

2022 Polestar 2 FWD Single Motor Review
This review provides a comprehensive first look at the 2022 Polestar 2 Single Motor FWD variant, highlighting its introduction as a more cost-effectiv... moree option in the premium mid-size EV market. The reviewer praises the vehicle's excellent build quality, quiet cabin, and comfortable interior, noting the minimalist Swedish design and user-friendly infotainment system based on Android. While acknowledging its direct competition with the Tesla Model 3, the reviewer positions it as a distinct, high-quality alternative rather than a direct competitor. Performance from the single motor is deemed adequate for daily driving and passing, though significantly less powerful than the dual-motor version. The estimated range of over 260 miles is considered sufficient, with potential for more in ideal conditions. Practical aspects like cargo space, including the hatchback design and frunk, are appreciated. The reviewer's main critiques are the slightly cramped rear seat for larger individuals on long trips and the unique, somewhat small rear-view mirror. Overall, the Polestar 2 Single Motor is recommended for its quality, comfort, and value, especially when considering provincial incentives. less

However, cons include the loss of the second-row Stow 'n Go feature due to the battery pack, the absence of an all-wheel-drive option for the PHEV, and a desire for a larger battery for extended electric range. The reviewer ultimately recommends the Pacifica Hybrid for its financial sense, environmental benefits when driven in EV mode, and its overall practicality as a family vehicle. less

The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV Premier is presented as a compelling value proposition in the compact SUV segment, building upon the strengths of the Bolt... more EV. The reviewer highlights its increased interior space, particularly rear legroom, and unique styling as key advantages. While sharing the same powertrain and battery as the Bolt EV, the EUV offers a slightly taller, wider stance and an extended wheelbase. Notable features include the availability of a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, and the Super Cruise hands-free driving system, which is praised for its highway performance but limited to mapped roads. The interior is functional and similar to the Bolt EV, with the Premier trim adding premium features like heated rear seats and cooled front seats. Real-world efficiency is reported as good, with the reviewer achieving 15.1 kWh/100km and estimating achievable range close to the EPA's 250-mile rating, even in warm weather. Fast charging is noted as a weaker point, with the vehicle topping out around 53 kW, taking approximately 50 minutes to reach 80% from 26% state of charge. Despite the recall concerns for all Bolt models due to battery fire risks, the reviewer maintains a positive outlook on the EUV's practicality and value, especially when considering provincial incentives, making it a strong contender for those seeking an affordable electric utility vehicle. less
2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV LT Review
The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV LT is presented as a highly practical and value-oriented electric vehicle, building upon its predecessor with significant u... morepdates. The reviewer highlights the redesigned exterior, featuring a more modern and aerodynamic aesthetic, and an improved interior with new seats and a revised dashboard, addressing previous criticisms of comfort and design. Key improvements include an upgraded infotainment system, a more intuitive one-pedal driving mode, and enhanced charging capabilities with faster Level 2 charging (11.5 kW) and slightly increased DC fast charging (around 60 kW). The inclusion of GM's primary safety assist package as standard is also noted as a significant value add. While the powertrain remains largely the same (65 kWh battery, ~200 hp), the reviewer emphasizes the vehicle's efficiency and real-world range, estimating it to be around 450-480 km, exceeding the EPA rating. Positives include its affordability, especially with incentives, comfortable ride, and practical cargo space. A notable drawback is the ingress/egress due to the sloping roofline, requiring a conscious effort to avoid hitting one's head. The reviewer strongly recommends the Bolt EV for its excellent value proposition and practicality in the EV market. less
