ROADTRIPPING THE UK, LA AUTO SHOW NEWS, AND THE CARS WE'RE THANKFUL FOR | THE DRIVEWAY PODCAST #33

EV Channels Review

The Driveway Podcast episode #33 features an in-depth discussion of a UK road trip taken by host Natalie in a Ford Tornado Custom diesel van. Despite initial concerns about its size on narrow UK roads and driving on the opposite side, the van proved to be an excellent, comfortable, and surprisingly fuel-efficient choice for a large group, achieving 33 MPG with seven passengers and heavy luggage. Natalie highlights the van's versatile seating, including the ability to rotate middle-row seats, making it ideal for family travel. The episode also touches on LA Auto Show news, including Audi's planned Defender-rivaling body-on-frame SUV based on the Scout platform, Hyundai's Crater off-road concept, and Nissan's rebadged Rogue PHEV. The hosts conclude by sharing what they are thankful for in the automotive industry, with Nissan's commitment to affordability and the return of AMG wagons being notable mentions.
