EV Channels Review

This episode of the Daily Motor Podcast covers a range of vehicles, with a particular focus on the upcoming Porsche Macan S and the Toyota GR86. The hosts express excitement for the Macan S, noting its powerful engine and premium features, though acknowledging its high price point. The Toyota GR86 is highlighted as a fun-to-drive manual option, with a memorable anecdote about one of the hosts outperforming a more aggressive driver in a BMW M240i. The Nissan Rogue, featuring a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine and CVT, is discussed with skepticism regarding its powertrain's ability to handle the crossover's size, with a hint of concern about its longevity. Other vehicles mentioned include the Lexus UX, which is deemed unremarkable and overpriced compared to alternatives like the Mazda CX-30 or Lexus NX, and the discontinued Infiniti Q60, which the hosts lament but understand the decision to kill off.
