EP. 36 | DM PODCAST

EV Channels Review

The Daily Motor podcast hosts discuss their week with the BMW i4 eDrive40, Audi RS3, and Ford F-150 Lightning. The BMW i4 eDrive40 is praised for its highway range and driving dynamics, with one host preferring it over a Model 3. However, a significant drawback was the infotainment system, which suffered from a non-functional radio and Bluetooth connectivity issues, attributed to the chip shortage. The Audi RS3 is described as a capable, albeit not overly manic, sports sedan, appreciated for its docile nature in normal driving conditions and sharp steering. Its exhaust system is deemed too quiet, with a recommendation for an aftermarket solution. The F-150 Lightning is highlighted as a revolutionary product, impressing with its instant acceleration and quiet ride, converting even skeptical traditional truck owners. While acknowledging its high price point and some interior quirks, the Lightning is considered a strong contender for car of the year.
