EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers a wide array of automotive news, with a significant focus on Ford's upcoming models. The Shelby GT500 receives a teaser, hinting at an aggressive design with reworked aerodynamics and potentially older headlight designs. More notably, Ford teased the new Bronco, confirming it will not be a rebadged Everest and will be available in two- and four-door configurations, positioning it as a direct Wrangler competitor. The reviewer notes Ford's president's comments suggesting a focus on on-road comfort over extreme off-roading, contrasting with Jeep's philosophy. Hybrid versions of the Bronco, Mustang, F-150, Escape, and Explorer are also confirmed. The update touches on the Explorer ST, the all-electric Mach 1 SUV (slated for 2020), and the rollout of Ford Co-Pilot360 safety suite, with a warning for Mustang buyers to consider pre-2020 models to avoid certain driver aids. Other news includes updates on the Mustang California Special, new Mustang colors, and a spied 2019 Ford Focus. The review also briefly touches on rumors about the next-gen Nissan Z, the Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86's lack of a turbo, Genesis G70 manual availability, Audi's R8 future and new model strategy, the e-tron GT, electrified Jeep Renegade and a three-row Jeep, and teasers for the Acura RDX, Subaru Forester, and Toyota RAV4. Aston Martin, Ferrari, and Porsche are mentioned for hybrid and concept vehicles, while Mazda and Volvo reveal interior and exterior details. Finally, Mercedes-Benz's new Digital Light technology is discussed, though its availability is limited to Europe.
