TALKING CARS WITH CONSUMER REPORTS #20: TWO LAND ROVERS AND A CADILLAC ELR

EV Channels Review

Consumer Reports' 'Talking Cars' episode #20 features a mixed bag of vehicles. The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are lauded for their luxury and capability, though the Sport's fitment with summer tires in snowy conditions is heavily criticized as dangerous and impractical. The Cadillac ELR, while praised for its stunning styling and luxurious interior, is deemed a significant disappointment due to its exorbitant $76,000 price tag, limited electric range (37 miles), and a driving experience that doesn't justify the cost, especially when compared to more affordable or longer-range EVs like the Tesla. The show also addresses viewer questions regarding the testing status of the Mazda 3, Jeep Cherokee, and Honda Accord Hybrid, and offers advice on purchasing a VW Golf TDI as a first car and potential replacements for a Ford Mustang GT, recommending the Chevy SS as a compelling, albeit expensive, option.
