QUESTIONS, COFFEE & CARS #66 // WILL MERCEDES RETREAT FROM EVS?

EV Channels Review

In this installment of Questions, Coffee & Cars, the Motormouth hosts tackle a range of automotive queries. They discuss the surprisingly high pricing of the new Toyota Land Cruiser trims in Canada, noting that the base model starts at $69,900 CAD before freight. When advising on a used compact luxury SUV for comfort and reliability, the Lexus NX is recommended as the most reliable, though Volvo excels in cabin comfort and quietness. The hosts also address the question of whether Mercedes-Benz is retreating from EVs, clarifying that the brand is following market demand by continuing to offer hybrids and ICE vehicles alongside EVs, rather than abandoning electrics. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to the hosts' new Volkswagen GTI, which they are enjoying for its practicality, fun driving dynamics, and surprising tech features, despite Andrea's initial affection for the Mazda MX-5. They confirm their GTI is front-wheel drive, chosen due to already owning AWD vehicles.
