EP. 46 | DM PODCAST

EV Channels Review

In this episode of the Daily Motor Podcast, Chris and Charlie delve into the evolving landscape of luxury automakers, expressing concern that brands like BMW and Cadillac have lost their way in prioritizing technology over core driving dynamics and luxury. They praise the new BMW 7 Series, particularly the i7, for its impressive blend of technology, comfort, and performance, noting its efficiency and innovative features like the theater screen and power doors. However, they critique the excessive complexity of some of its modes and controls. The podcast also touches on other vehicles, including the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV (deemed a good car but not a good PHEV), the Kia Seltos (a competent but uninspiring transportation option), and expresses disappointment with Cadillac's current interior quality compared to Lincoln's offerings, while acknowledging Cadillac's performance prowess with the Blackwing models. The hosts emphasize the importance of a satisfying driving experience as the key differentiator for luxury brands aiming for long-term success.
