EP. 70 | DM PODCAST

EV Channels Review

In this episode of the Daily Motor Podcast, Chris and Charlie discuss their recent experiences with several vehicles. The 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring is praised for its smooth, easy-to-live-with nature, featuring a refined hybrid system and an excellent, responsive touchscreen infotainment system with Google built-in. In stark contrast, the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SEL is heavily criticized for its dreadful driving dynamics, particularly the confusing and spongy brake pedal feel due to aggressive, multi-setting regenerative braking. The reviewers found the powertrain irritating and the overall driving experience unpleasant, especially considering its $51,000 price point, which they feel is not justified when compared to competitors like the Mazda CX-90. The podcast also touches on the growing capabilities and quirks of AI, with discussions around Snapchat's AI and its surprisingly detailed car preferences, as well as the potential for AI to assist in content creation.
