EV Channels Review

This episode of the CarsGuide podcast delves into new cars making a significant impact on the Australian market, highlighting the Kia Seltos, Mazda CX-30, Hyundai Venue, Volkswagen T-Cross, and the BMW X7. The hosts discuss how these models are carving out niches despite market saturation. The review then shifts to vehicles recently driven: the Ford Fiesta ST, praised for its entertaining and rewarding driving dynamics, and the new Land Rover Defender 110 P500SE, noted for its impressive design and luxurious interior, though criticized for some interior usability quirks and a lumbering feel in urban driving. Finally, the Rolls-Royce Ghost is examined, lauded for its unparalleled ride comfort and opulent luxury, but questioned for its numb steering and extreme price point. The segment also touches on the ongoing SUV trend and the diminishing presence of traditional sedans and manual gearboxes.
