OUR TOP 10 OF 2023

EV Channels Review

The Motormouth couple presents their top 10 vehicles of 2023, adhering to the criteria of having driven them within the calendar year and ensuring they are either all-new or recently updated models. The list, presented in alphabetical order with a single overall winner, highlights a diverse range of vehicles. Standouts include the affordable Chevrolet Trax, praised for its value and comfort despite being front-wheel drive. The Cadillac Lyriq impressed with its luxurious interior, competitive pricing, and strong performance, though its slow rollout was noted. The Kia EV9 is lauded as a groundbreaking, non-luxury three-row electric SUV with excellent acceleration and a premium feel, despite higher trims lacking a bench seat. The Toyota Grand Highlander is crowned the overall winner, celebrated for its spaciousness, versatile powertrains (including a strong hybrid max option), and conventional interior with physical controls, making it a compelling family hauler. While many vehicles were praised for specific attributes like comfort, technology, or value, the review consistently emphasizes a balanced assessment of pros and cons.
