EV Channels Review

This episode of Questions, Coffee, and Cars tackles a variety of automotive queries, from RAV4 hybrid availability in Canada to the best premium PHEV SUVs. The hosts highlight the difficulty in acquiring certain popular models like the Toyota Sienna Hybrid and Grand Highlander, often recommending more readily available alternatives such as the Kia Carnival Hybrid and Lexus TX. They express a strong preference for the BMW X5 as a premium PHEV, citing its range and driving dynamics, while also discussing the Porsche Cayenne's appeal and the BMW X3 as a practical, fun option. The discussion on safe, small SUVs points towards the Subaru Crosstrek for its standard safety features and fuel economy. Finally, when comparing the Lexus NX 350h and Toyota Crown Signia, the hosts note the Signia's larger size and more wagon-like profile versus the NX's traditional SUV stance and higher ground clearance, ultimately suggesting availability might be the deciding factor.
