EV Channels Review

This episode of CarsGuide Podcast's 'Tools in the Shed' covers a diverse range of automotive topics. The discussion highlights Kia's potential entry into the ute market, aiming to rival established players like the Ranger and Hilux, with a projected launch between 2022-2023. The hosts also delve into the growing trend and utility of dash cams, noting their increasing sales in Australia and advanced features like driver assistance. Vehicle reviews include the Ford Endura, described as a spacious, albeit slightly dated, five-seater SUV that performs well but is considered expensive for its segment. The Mercedes-AMG A 45 S and CLA 45 S are lauded for their extreme performance, pushing the boundaries of hot hatch capabilities with impressive power-to-weight ratios. Finally, the Skoda Karoq is praised for its exceptional practicality and clever interior design, though its optional extras increase the price significantly and its fuel economy falls short of claims. The 'MuskWatch' segment touches on Tesla's streaming capabilities, financial performance, and the ongoing debate about its future.
