2024 Toyota Land Cruiser First Drive Review - It's Back and a Hybrid Now
The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser marks a significant return, blending its legendary off-road heritage with a new hybrid powertrain. The reviewer highlight... mores the vehicle's robust capability, particularly its advanced off-road systems like multi-terrain select, diff locks, and sway bar disconnect, which were impressively demonstrated on a challenging course. Positives include the modular bumper design for easier repairs, the practical flip-up rear glass, and the standard 2400-watt AC plug.

2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime vs Hyundai IONIQ 5 - The King of PHEV/EV's?
This comparison between the 2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime and the Hyundai IONIQ 5 highlights their strengths and weaknesses, ultimately concluding that both ... moreare excellent choices depending on individual needs. The RAV4 Prime is praised for its robust, tried-and-true hybrid system, offering 302 combined horsepower and impressive EV-only range (rated 67 km, with real-world reports up to 90 km). Its conventional SUV-like cargo space, inclusion of a spare tire, and ability to function as a regular hybrid without range anxiety are significant advantages, especially for those without consistent home charging. The reviewer notes its tighter turning circle and higher towing capacity. The IONIQ 5, a full battery EV, impresses with its superior torque (446 lb-ft), faster charging capabilities (up to 350 kW, 10-80% in 15-20 minutes), and more generous interior occupant space. Its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability is also a key feature. However, it lacks a spare tire and has a longer wheelbase. Pricing is comparable after rebates, but the IONIQ 5 receives a higher rebate in British Columbia due to its longer EV range. Availability remains a challenge for both, though improving. The reviewer expresses satisfaction with their IONIQ 5 but would have been equally happy with the RAV4 Prime had it been available sooner, emphasizing the Prime's 'no compromise' appeal for a wider audience. less

A significant value-add is the inclusion of a dual-channel HD dash camera system, with the rear camera also functioning as a backup camera. While the built-in speakers are noted as having limited fidelity, the audio output through the car's stereo system (via FM or auxiliary) is praised for its clarity and loudness. The reviewer appreciates the large 10.26" touchscreen and the overall ease of use. The primary drawback identified is the lack of a quick-release mechanism for the screen, making it less convenient to remove for security or use in other vehicles. Despite this, the reviewer considers the SmartDrive an excellent value proposition at $189, offering substantial features for the price, and gives it a strong recommendation for owners of older cars. less

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450e Plug-in Hybrid SUV is presented as a compelling option, potentially the best PHEV available. The reviewer highlights i... morets impressive electric-only range of 77 km (48 miles), which is consistently achievable even at highway speeds, allowing for daily commutes to be completed entirely on electric power. The reviewer praises the seamless integration of the PHEV system with the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which, combined with the electric motor, produces 381 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, exceeding the standard GLE 450. Key advantages noted include standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive, smooth 9-speed automatic transmission, and a premium interior with many standard features like a panoramic roof, Burmester sound system, and the latest MBUX system. Criticisms are minor, focusing on the absence of soft-close doors and heated armrests/center console as standard on lower trims, and the lack of a spare tire (replaced by a tire mobility kit). The reviewer strongly recommends the 450e over the standard 450 due to its comparable price, superior efficiency, and the added benefits of PHEV ownership, despite being slightly slower (0-60 in 6.1s vs 5.6s) and lacking options like e-Active Body Control or a third row. The transparent hood feature for off-roading is also noted as a unique positive. less

The Mark Levinson sound system is also criticized for sounding thin and trebly at lower volumes. Despite these points, the overall sentiment is positive, emphasizing the vehicle's practicality and suitability for family adventures. less

Key positives include its bold styling, practical frunk, excellent towing capacity (up to 5,000 lbs), and the 800-volt architecture enabling rapid charging. The reviewer's primary critique is the lack of a seven-passenger option on higher trims, with captain's chairs being standard, limiting capacity for those who might prefer the top-tier features but need maximum seating. Overall, the EV9 exceeded expectations, with the reviewer finding it difficult to identify significant negatives. less
2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV Review - Class Leading, Biggest Battery but No CarPlay
The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV presents a compelling package with its striking exterior design, spacious interior, and a wide array of powertrain and ba... morettery options, including the largest battery in its class. The reviewer highlights the impressive 17.7-inch infotainment screen and the intuitive Google Built-in system, though the complete absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a significant drawback for many users. While the ride quality on the 85 kWh battery version was noted as slightly bouncy, the overall spaciousness and practicality for passengers and cargo are praised. The reviewer favors the more powerful 340 hp rear-wheel-drive version for its noticeable performance gain and longer range, especially considering its similar pricing to the AWD variant. The potential for significant EV rebates in Canada is also a key consideration for buyers. less
Albert Biermann Talks Ioniq 5 N and the Future of N Cars
Albert Biermann, the architect of Hyundai's N brand, discusses the development of the IONIQ 5 N, emphasizing the challenge of translating the �... more39;N' pillars of cornering prowess, track capability, and everyday sportiness into a 2.2-ton electric vehicle.

The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N represents a significant leap in performance EVs, setting a new benchmark for the segment. The reviewer highlights its dual... more nature, excelling both on the road and the track. Key enhancements include double the horsepower of the standard IONIQ 5 (600 hp, 641 hp with boost), a significantly stiffer chassis, and extensive N-specific tuning. The N e-Shift system, which emulates manual transmission shifts with simulated pops, gurgles, and jolts, is lauded as a game-changer, adding emotional engagement to the EV driving experience. While the reviewer praises its track capability, adjustability, and the addictive sound, they note compromises such as the lack of a glass roof and power seats in North America. Range is also reduced, with an unofficial estimate of 335 km compared to the standard model's 410 km, though real-world efficiency was better than expected. The reviewer concludes that while not for everyone, the IONIQ 5 N is a more serious, high-tech, and faster performance machine, with no direct market comparison available. less
New 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Review
The fifth-generation 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe represents a radical departure from its predecessor, adopting a bold, boxy design that the reviewer likens ... moreto a "Korean Defender." This new generation significantly increases interior space, particularly cargo capacity, which was a primary focus in its design. Key highlights include standard third-row seating, a hands-free power liftgate, and an all-new premium interior featuring dual 12.3-inch curved displays, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a unique UVC phone cleaning compartment. While the reviewer praises the extensive utility and thoughtful design elements like the flat-folding seats for sleeping and the expansive glass area, they note a few drawbacks. A minor pet peeve is the lack of proximity key access for the rear doors on the top trim, and the absence of tri-zone climate control for the rear passengers is also mentioned as a disappointment, despite the vehicle performing well in cold weather. The XTR version is highlighted as a more rugged option for North America. Overall, the Santa Fe is positioned as a strong contender in the mid-sized SUV market, excelling in family-oriented utility and adventurous capabilities. less
2024 Ioniq 5 N First Look - This 640 Horsepower EV Does Not Disappoint
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N represents a significant leap for electric performance vehicles, aiming to blend track capability with everyday usability. The r... moreeviewer highlights the aggressive, functional design, noting the wider stance, larger brakes, and functional air curtains that enhance cooling.

The reviewer also details advanced features like "Drift Optimizer," adjustable torque distribution, and performance-oriented thermal management. While the increased power impacts range, with an unofficial estimate of 330 km (down from the standard IONIQ 5's 410 km), the reviewer hints at better real-world results to be covered later. The simulated engine sounds and "N e-shift" are noted as artificial but add to the enthusiast experience. Overall, the IONIQ 5 N is presented as a highly capable and engaging EV sports car, though with a clear trade-off in range for its enhanced performance. less

After 4,000 kilometers, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV proves to be a compelling option, particularly for its value proposition and practicality. The r... moreeviewer highlights the impressive real-world EV range, often exceeding the advertised 61 km, with some users reporting over 80 km. The seamless transition between electric and gasoline power is a significant plus, making it feel like a conventional hybrid. The standard third-row seating, while compact, adds versatility. Positives include the abundance of premium features for the price, such as the HUD, quilted leather, massage seats, and Bose stereo, especially when factoring in potential government rebates which can significantly lower the cost. The reviewer also praises the 'set it and forget it' driving experience and the convenience of the 360-degree camera and hands-free tailgate. On the downside, the infotainment screen could be larger, and ventilated seats are notably absent. Charging speeds, particularly on Level 2, are considered slow, though this may contribute to battery longevity. The need to add fresh gas periodically to maintain EV mode is an interesting, albeit minor, quirk. Overall, the Outlander PHEV is lauded for its efficiency, features, and overall value, making it a strong contender in its segment. less
2024 Lexus TX Is the Biggest and Best Family 3 Row from Lexus Hands Down
The 2024 Lexus TX is presented as Lexus's definitive answer for a large, comfortable three-row family SUV, directly comparing it to the Toyota Gr... moreand Highlander. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, accommodating up to seven passengers, with particular praise for the ease of access to the third row and the ample cargo space when seats are folded. Luxury touches like the unified spindle grille, premium interior materials, and the 14-inch Lexus interface are noted positively.

While the TX 350 is deemed adequate for daily family duties, the 500h is recommended for those seeking more spirited driving, and the 550h+ for its EV capability and power. The reviewer concludes that the TX is the best three-row option in the Lexus lineup if off-road capability isn't a priority. less
2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Review
The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, particularly the Hybrid Max Platinum trim, is lauded as a significant improvement over the standard Highlander, addr... moreessing the need for more space. Reviewers highlight its substantial increase in length and wheelbase, offering vastly improved cargo and passenger room, especially in the third row. The Hybrid Max powertrain is praised for its strong torque and smooth acceleration, delivering impressive performance that belies its four-cylinder base. Interior features like the premium materials, heated/ventilated seats, head-up display, and intuitive infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto projecting to the HUD are significant positives. While styling is subjective, it's considered subtle and fitting for a family vehicle. The main drawback is the lack of a PHEV option, though a hybrid is standard. The reviewer concludes that Toyota has 'nailed it' for family needs, offering a compelling alternative to minivans and larger SUVs like the Palisade and Atlas, with a competitive price point that makes the upgrade from a regular Highlander justifiable. less
Best Bang for the Buck? I Bought the Kukirin G3 Pro 2400W Scooter
The reviewer purchased the Kukirin G3 Pro electric scooter for a non-sponsored review, finding it to be a "beast" of a machine that largely ... moremeets his requirements for power, acceleration, and braking. He highlights the dual 1200W motors, full suspension, and dual hydraulic disc brakes as significant positives. The removable 23 Ah battery is praised for its convenience in charging and reducing the scooter's weight for transport. However, the scooter's substantial 90 lb weight and large size are noted as significant compromises, making it less ideal for portability. Minor issues like spinning hand grips, a difficult charging port flap, and a less-than-perfect folding latch are mentioned but deemed not deal-breakers. The reviewer's real-world range experience is around 30 km (18 miles) per charge, significantly less than the advertised 80 km (50 miles), which he attributes to rider weight and riding style. Despite these drawbacks, he concludes that for its sale price of $1500 USD, the G3 Pro offers excellent value and performance, making it a highly recommended "Grand Touring" scooter for those prioritizing power over portability. less

This comparison pits the 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV against the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, focusing on their suitability as 3-row PHEV SUVs. The CX-90... more, in its GSL mid-trim, is highlighted for its larger size, more powerful 323 hp powertrain, and 3500 lb towing capacity, along with a more modern interior and quicker charging capabilities. However, its EV-only range is limited to 42 km. The Outlander PHEV, in its top GT Premium trim, impresses with a significantly longer EV range of 61 km (with real-world results often exceeding this), a lower starting price (nearly $10,000 less than the CX-90), and a wealth of features for the price, including a smoother, more seamless EV driving experience. Its main drawbacks are less power (248 hp), lower towing capacity (1500 lb), and a much slower onboard charger (3.2 kW vs. CX-90's 6.6 kW), though it does offer DC fast charging. The reviewer notes the CX-90's transmission can be clunky in EV mode, while the Outlander's electric drive is exceptionally smooth. Ultimately, the choice depends on priorities: power, size, and towing favor the CX-90, while range, value, and EV experience lean towards the Outlander. less
2023 Mercedes EQS 580 SUV - It's A Rocket Spa On 4 Wheels
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 SUV is presented as a luxurious and technologically advanced electric vehicle, offering a "spa on four wheels"... more; experience. The reviewer highlights the impressive 56-inch Hyperscreen, advanced MBUX infotainment, and the "Energizing Comfort" programs that combine climate, sound, and lighting for a unique ambiance. The interior quality, materials, and spaciousness, particularly in the rear with the premium package, are praised. However, the reviewer notes several surprising omissions for a vehicle at this price point, including the lack of heated side panels, center console, or armrests, and the auto-dimming driver's side mirror. The braking feel is described as non-linear and difficult to modulate smoothly, despite the powerful brakes. The digital headlights with their projection capabilities and the overall quietness of the ride are significant positives. While the SUV offers practicality over the sedan, it comes with a reduced range (459 km vs. the sedan's ~559 km) due to its less aerodynamic shape. The reviewer concludes that while expensive, the interior quality and overall experience make it a compelling, albeit practical, alternative to the EQS sedan, especially for those who prefer SUVs. less
Is One-Pedal Driving the Most Efficient on Your EV? Hyundai Ioniq 5
This video thoroughly tests the efficiency of different regenerative braking settings on the 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5, comparing one-pedal driving ('... morei-Pedal'), Level 2 regen, and automatic regen over a simulated daily route with multiple stops. While not a perfectly controlled scientific test, the reviewer aimed for consistency across three separate drives. The results showed that automatic regen yielded the best efficiency at 15.2 kWh/100km, slightly outperforming Level 2 regen (15.6 kWh/100km) and one-pedal driving (15.8 kWh/100km). The reviewer noted that one-pedal driving offers smoother stops in stop-and-go traffic and saves on brake wear but can feel jerky. Automatic regen, leveraging sensors, provides a good balance of coasting and deceleration, particularly on the highway, and is considered the most efficient overall. The reviewer concludes that for city driving, one-pedal might be preferred for smoothness and brake saving, while for open roads, minimal regen is best. The IONIQ 5's versatility in offering multiple regen options is highlighted as a significant advantage. less
2023 Cadillac Lyriq EV Is a Total Bargain!
The Cadillac Lyriq is presented as a compelling option in the luxury EV market, particularly for its value proposition. The reviewer highlights its st... moreriking, futuristic design, especially the illuminated front grille and vertical headlamps, which make it stand out.

Key features like the standard 19-speaker AKG audio system, optional Napa leather, and massaging seats enhance the premium feel. Performance is described as smooth and responsive, with the AWD model offering 500 horsepower and a range close to 500 km, comparable to the RWD version. The reviewer is particularly impressed with the advanced Super Cruise system, including its automatic lane change capability. A significant update reveals the initial test vehicle was a higher trim (Luxury 3 AWD), but the base RWD model, starting around $67,698 CAD, offers substantial value with 340 hp, nearly the same range, and many premium features, making the Lyriq a strong contender against rivals like the Tesla Model Y and Mustang Mach-E. less

The styling, initially polarizing... more, grows on the reviewer, with its premium looks and distinctive grille. Automatic doors with safety sensors and soft-close functionality are praised, especially when compared to competitors. The interior is lauded for its exceptional fit and finish, luxurious materials, ambient lighting, and the immersive Bowers & Wilkins 4D Diamond audio system. The standout feature is the 31-inch 8K theater screen, which transforms the rear cabin into an entertainment hub, controlled via rear armrest screens. Driving dynamics are also a strong point; the i7 offers smooth, powerful acceleration (536 hp, 4.7s 0-60 mph) without compromising comfort. The reviewer particularly appreciates the linear and easy-to-modulate brakes, the versatile automatic regen braking, and the welcome addition of rear-axle steering for maneuverability. The hands-free Assist Plus system is noted as functional but road-dependent. While acknowledging the high price point, the reviewer positions the i7 as a glimpse into the future of automotive technology that will eventually trickle down to more affordable vehicles. less
