2025 Volvo EX90 | Review & Road Test
The 2025 Volvo EX90 is presented as Volvo's safest and most luxurious flagship three-row EV SUV, built on the Polestar 3 platform. The reviewer h... moreighlights its spacious interior, comfortable seating with available massage functions and sustainable Nordico upholstery, and a minimalist, tech-forward cabin. Positives include ample passenger space (though the third row is best for children or smaller adults), a flat floor, and innovative features like a built-in booster seat. The exterior boasts classic Volvo design with modern touches like flush door handles and Thor's hammer DRLs, complemented by a lidar sensor for advanced safety. On the performance front, the Ultra Twin Motor Performance model delivers 510 horsepower and 671 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0-60 mph in approximately 4.7 seconds. The reviewer notes a slight delay in throttle response, which is mitigated by engaging the performance mode. EPA estimated range is up to 300 miles with the larger wheels. Charging is rapid, with 10-80% in about 30 minutes, and bidirectional charging capability is a key feature. The ride quality is praised as cloud-like, thanks to available air suspension. However, the reviewer criticizes the infotainment system's complexity, the single-stalk turn signal design, the lack of a physical sunglasses compartment, and the inability to cover the panoramic roof. Despite these drawbacks, the EX90 is positioned as a strong contender in the luxury three-row EV segment, emphasizing safety, space, and technology. less
2025 Audi A6 Sportback E-Tron First Drive
The 2025 Audi A6 Sportback e-tron marks a significant entry into the pure EV sedan market, impressing with its aerodynamic design, boasting a class-le... moreading 0.23 drag coefficient. The reviewer highlights the powertrain options, particularly the rear-wheel-drive 'Ultra' package offering an estimated 392 miles of range, and the Quattro all-wheel-drive variant with 456 horsepower and 377 miles of range. Charging is swift, reaching 10-80% in 21 minutes at 270 kW. Driving dynamics are praised for their comfort, composure, and sporty rear-biased feel, especially with the optional air suspension. The interior receives accolades for its elegant design, high-tech features like the curved display and augmented head-up display, and comfortable, spacious seating. However, visibility through the tiny rear windshield and the placement of haptic controls on the steering wheel are noted as drawbacks. The reviewer finds the A6 Sportback e-tron to be a compelling, high-tech, and fun-to-drive option for those seeking a premium EV sedan. less

2025 Lucid Gravity | Review & Road Test
The 2025 Lucid Gravity SUV has been highly anticipated, and after a first drive, the verdict is overwhelmingly positive. The exterior design is praise... mored for its sleek, elegant, and modern aesthetic, defying typical SUV proportions. Inside, the cabin is a sanctuary of luxury and calm, featuring high-quality sustainable materials, thoughtful design, and innovative features like the 'serenity screens.' The tech interface, particularly the large OLED screen and improved steering wheel and stalk controls, addresses previous criticisms from the Lucid Air, offering a more intuitive user experience. Passenger space is generous across all three rows, with the second and third rows offering ample legroom and comfort, even for adults. The Gravity boasts impressive EV specifications, including a 450-mile range and ultra-fast 400kW charging, capable of adding 200 miles in just 11 minutes. Performance is exhilarating, with up to 828 horsepower and 960 lb-ft of torque, delivering a surprisingly agile driving experience thanks to its adaptive air suspension, power steering, and optional rear-wheel steering. Off-road capability is enhanced by significant ground clearance (up to 9.3 inches) and a terrain mode. The vehicle also offers a 6,000 lb towing capacity. Minor criticisms include a slightly challenging seating position for shorter drivers and a thick A-pillar that can impede visibility in tight turns. Despite these points, the Gravity is deemed a significant achievement and well worth the wait, offering a compelling package of luxury, technology, performance, and practicality. less
2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ First Drive
The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ represents a bold electrification of an iconic American luxury SUV. While it retains the imposing size and presence expe... morected of an Escalade, it introduces a futuristic design and advanced technology. The interior boasts a massive 55-inch OLED display and a luxurious, spacious cabin, though the lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is a notable drawback. Performance is strong, with 680 hp standard and up to 750 hp in V mode, offering surprisingly agile handling for its size thanks to rear-wheel steering. Cadillac claims an impressive 460 miles of range, though real-world tests suggest closer to 360 miles. Charging is rapid with 350 kW DC fast charging capability. However, the Escalade IQ comes with a premium price tag, starting around $130,000 and reaching over $167,000 fully loaded, placing it in a segment where EV tax credits are not applicable. Despite its cost and a few tech omissions, the Escalade IQ establishes Cadillac as a major player in the large electric SUV market. less
2025 Hyundai IONIQ 9 | Review & Road Test
The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 9 presents a compelling option in the burgeoning three-row electric SUV segment, offering a blend of distinctive styling, spaci... moreousness, and advanced technology. During an extensive road trip in South Korea, the reviewer highlighted the vehicle's comfortable ride, well-insulated cabin, and impressive handling for its size, attributing these qualities to its robust platform and suspension system. The "Calligraphy" trim, tested here, boasts up to 429 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of 4.9 seconds, with all models estimated to achieve around 300 miles of range. Positives include the intuitive infotainment system, ample passenger and cargo space, and useful features like vehicle-to-load capability. However, the reviewer noted that the digital side-view mirrors, while aerodynamic, can be distracting due to depth perception issues, and these are not expected for the US market. The absence of swivel seats for the second row was also a minor disappointment. Despite these points, the IONIQ 9 is praised for its quiet, refined driving experience and comprehensive suite of safety and driver-assistance features, positioning it as a strong contender against rivals like the Kia EV9. less
2025 Audi Q6 E-Tron First Drive
The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron marks a significant step for Audi's EV strategy, built on the new PPE platform. The reviewer highlights its striking exte... morerior design with customizable lighting and a pleasingly upright stance, avoiding a "jelly bean" shape. Performance is robust across the range, with the Q6 e-tron offering up to 322 hp and the SQ6 reaching 509 hp with launch control, though the vehicle's substantial weight (over 5,300 lbs) is noted. Real-world range estimates are competitive, with the Quattro model achieving 320 miles and the SQ6 around 275 miles. Charging is also a strong point, with 10-80% taking approximately 21 minutes. The interior receives high praise for its premium materials, driver-focused cockpit, and impressive OLED screens, including a smart passenger-side display with a privacy function. Passenger and cargo space are ample for a midsize SUV. While the reviewer appreciates the advanced technology and minimalist design, they express a slight reservation about the reliance on haptic feedback for controls, suggesting a potential return of physical buttons. Overall, the Q6 e-tron is presented as a compelling, high-tech, and beautifully designed premium electric SUV. less
2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Review & Road Test
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N is presented not as a typical EV, but as a high-performance machine designed for enthusiasts. The review highlights its signific... moreant upgrade over the standard IONIQ 5, boasting 641 horsepower with the boost mode and standard all-wheel drive. While the interior sees minor changes, the focus is on the driving dynamics. The vehicle offers a firm, engaging ride in Sport Plus mode, with a more compliant option for daily use. Steering is praised for its quickness and weight. Despite its 5,000 lb weight, the IONIQ 5 N handles corners with impressive grip and confidence, making it surprisingly agile. The reviewer notes the simulated engine noise and gear shifts as a fun, albeit gimmicky, addition that enhances the driving experience. On the track, the car demonstrates explosive acceleration and strong grip, though the simulated downshifts can be disengaged for purer performance. A key criticism is the complexity of setting up the various performance modes. Overall, the IONIQ 5 N is deemed a blast for track use and spirited driving, capable of burning through tires, but its practicality for everyday use with family is questioned. less
2024 Tesla Cybertruck | Review & Road Test
The 2024 Tesla Cybertruck presents a polarizing yet surprisingly functional package. Reviewers highlight its blistering acceleration, with the Dual Mo... moretor variant producing 600 horsepower and an estimated 340 miles of range, while the Cyberbeast trim pushes performance even further. The steer-by-wire system and four-wheel steering contribute to unexpected agility despite its size. However, the Cybertruck is not without its drawbacks. Ride quality is firm rather than plush, and the unique design elements, such as the steer-by-wire and touch-screen controls, require a significant adaptation period for traditional drivers. Panel fitment and interior trim quality are noted as areas needing improvement, with visible misalignments and loose parts detracting from the premium feel expected at its price point. Off-road capability is deemed adequate for moderate trails, but towing significantly impacts range. Competitors like the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T are presented as more conventional and potentially better value options for those prioritizing pure functionality over a statement vehicle. less
2024 Honda Prologue | First Drive
The 2024 Honda Prologue marks Honda's significant entry into the all-electric SUV market, built on GM's Ultium platform. While the exterior ... moredesign is praised for its aerodynamic efficiency and substantial proportions, the interior is noted for its spaciousness, particularly in the second row, and a practical mix of physical controls and modern tech like Google built-in. However, the interior design is described as sparse, with an overreliance on hard plastics, leaving the reviewer wanting more aesthetic flair. Performance is deemed adequate for daily driving, with the AWD Elite model offering 288 horsepower, though it lacks the exhilarating acceleration of some competitors. Handling is stable and comfortable, but the sport mode offers minimal dynamic enhancement. A key point of discussion is the vehicle's reliance on the GM platform, which is a one-off deal, with Honda planning future EVs on its own architecture. The reviewer highlights the competitive range (approaching 300 miles) and charging capabilities, as well as partnerships with Tesla, EVgo, and Electrify America for charging access. Despite some criticisms regarding interior design and the temporary nature of its platform, the Prologue is presented as a competent and spacious EV option for those prioritizing practicality and comfort. less
2023 Mercedes Benz EQE SUV | First Drive
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV presents a compelling package of luxury and technology, though not without some reservations. The interior is lauded fo... morer its modern, lounge-like aesthetic, comfortable seating with massage functions, and the impressive optional Hyperscreen, which offers a visually stunning and feature-rich experience. The standard heat pump is a clever efficiency feature. However, the driving dynamics receive mixed reviews. While the EQE SUV offers strong acceleration across its trims (350+, 350 4Matic, 500 4Matic), the ride comfort, particularly with the optional air suspension and 22-inch wheels, is described as too bouncy and soft, leading to a less composed feel on rougher roads. The reviewer prefers the standard suspension but still feels it needs further refinement. Real-world range figures are provided, with the 350+ achieving up to 279 miles. Charging is efficient, reaching 80% in about 32 minutes. Despite the high starting price around $77,900, the reviewer suggests it offers good value for its segment, positioning it as a strong contender in the luxury EV SUV market. less
2023 Nissan Ariya | Nissan's First Electric SUV
The 2023 Nissan Ariya is presented as a compelling and well-rounded Japanese EV, aiming to compete strongly in the electric SUV market. The reviewer h... moreighlights its sleek exterior design, inspired by Japanese 'ma' principles, and praises the spacious and innovative interior, particularly noting the flat floor enabled by the EV-exclusive platform and the highly adjustable center console. The dual 12.3-inch screens and haptic feedback controls are mentioned, though the latter are noted as potentially sensitive. Driving dynamics are described as confident and fun, especially on twisty roads, with a comfortable suspension. The e-4ORCE AWD system and dual-motor setup are available, alongside two battery options (63 kWh and 87 kWh). The Venture+ trim, with the larger 87 kWh battery, is identified as the range-leading FWD model (EPA est. 304 miles). Charging is capable of 100 miles in 15 minutes on a DC fast charger, topping out at 130 kW peak. A key drawback mentioned is its Japanese manufacturing, making it ineligible for the US federal tax credit. Overall, the Ariya is deemed a 'complete package' with strong looks, interior space, and adequate range, suggesting Nissan has delivered a deliberate and competitive EV. less
2022 Rivian R1S Review & Road Test
The 2022 Rivian R1S is presented as a highly capable and versatile three-row electric SUV, closely related to the R1T pickup. The reviewer highlights ... moreits impressive performance, with a 0-60 mph time of as quick as 3 seconds thanks to its quad-motor setup producing 835 hp. The interior is praised for its upscale yet welcoming feel, featuring clever touches like a built-in flashlight and an optional removable Bluetooth speaker. Practicality is also a strong suit, offering 17.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row and a useful front trunk. On the road, the R1S delivers a supple yet controlled ride, managed by an adaptive air suspension, with responsive steering and a commendably smooth one-pedal driving experience. Off-road capability is equally impressive, with dedicated modes and the advantage of four-motor torque vectoring for excellent traction and maneuverability. The reviewer notes a slight dead spot in pedal action in rock crawl mode and the inconvenience of the third-row seat locking mechanism. A significant drawback mentioned is the lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Despite these minor criticisms, the reviewer concludes that the R1S is a premium electric SUV that excels both on and off-road, making it a desirable choice. less
