MOTORMOUTH CAR OF THE YEAR AND OUR TOP-10 OF 2024

EV Channels Review

The Motormouth hosts present their top 10 vehicles of 2024, emphasizing new or significantly updated models driven within the year. The Honda Civic Hybrid is crowned their Car of the Year, praised for its smooth, quiet, and powerful hybrid system that mimics traditional engine shifts, offering excellent handling and a fun driving experience, especially in the hatchback form. Despite its impressive performance and clean interior design, the hosts note the higher price point compared to the Toyota Camry Hybrid as a potential drawback, though they ultimately feel the Civic Hybrid's 'fun factor' justifies the cost. Other notable vehicles include the Toyota Camry Hybrid, lauded for its value and hybrid system, the Ford Ranger for its impressive engineering and interior, and the Lexus GX for its refined V6 powertrain and upscale interior, though it falls short of feeling truly luxurious compared to competitors. The Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Envision also impressed with their value and refined driving dynamics, respectively. The Subaru Forester is recognized for its reliability and practicality, with a hybrid variant on the horizon.
