Tired of boring, lookalike crossovers? The 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale Veloce is the answer to that issue. It and the all-new 2026 Toyota Corolla FX are our road test vehicles this week. Host Jack Nerad found himself at the controls of the Tonale, a compact SUV that brings Italian luxury and performance to a pretty ho-hum segment. With its sharp design, 268-horsepower turbo engine, adaptive suspension, and upscale interior, it offers a distinctive alternative in a crowded class. The Veloce trim that Jack Nerad tested features adaptive dampers, optional 20-inch alloy wheels, and performance-tuned steering for sharper handling. Its turbocharged four-cylinder engine is teamed with standard with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the Tonale offers leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, a 10.25-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. With its distinctive styling, including the test car's optional Verde Fangio green paint and signature LED lighting, the Tonale Veloce brings premium European character to the compact SUV segment. At a special Toyota event in Plano, Texas, guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo took the wheel of the all-new 2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback FX Edition. The colorful trim builds on the SE model with unique visual and functional upgrades that nod to the original 1980s-vintage FX16. It features a black vented sport wing for added aerodynamic flair, 18-inch gloss white alloy wheels, and retro FX badging on the rear hatch. Inside, it offers suede-trimmed sport seats accented by orange contrast stitching, a seven-inch digital gauge cluster, and standard wireless charging. The FX is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 169 horsepower, and offers a sporty suspension setup and a manufacturer-estimated 33 mpg combined. Only 1,600 units will be offered in the U.S., and it will come in three vibrant color choices: Inferno, Ice Cap, and Blue Crush Metallic. In our news segment, we will discuss Cadillac's debut of the 2026 Optiq-V, a performance-oriented electric SUV boasting 519 horsepower, an estimated 275-mile range, and Cadillac's first use of the North American Charging Standard. With dramatic styling, launch control, and a 33-inch LED display, it's yet another move in General Motors' EV strategy. That strategy might take its lumps as the Trump Administration takes steps to roll back Biden-era fuel economy regulations, citing legal issues with the way EVs were factored into earlier targets. While immediate changes are limited, this signals a broader shift in auto policy that could ease pressure on automakers but potentially slow progress toward emissions reduction. Speculation swirled this week about Porsche manufacturing cars in the U.S., but the company denied any such plans, citing low volumes and high costs. Despite that, ongoing tariff talks and Volkswagen Group's broader American investment strategy suggest the door may not be fully closed. Matt DeLorenzo and Jack Nerad will share their thoughts on those prospects. Tesla also made headlines with the resignation of Milan Kovac, head of its Optimus robot project. Kovac played a major role in developing Tesla's humanoid robotics program, and his departure raises questions about the future of the bold, still-developing initiative. In Los Angeles, the Petersen Automotive Museum has launched its *“Totally Awesome! Cars and Culture of the '80s and '90s”* exhibit. With standout vehicles like the McLaren F1, Audi S1 E2 rally car, and Ferris Bueller's Ferrari replica, the show is a nostalgic and immersive look at two transformative automotive decades. Our special guest this week is Doron Levin, a longtime automotive journalist and editor at BetterInvesting, who joins us to share his insights on where the industry is heading. Jack caught up with him at a Toyota event in Texas. Finally,

In this episode of EV Musings, Gary Comerford explores the concept of roaming in electric vehicle charging, discussing its definition, importance, and the current landscape of roaming operators in the UK. He highlights the benefits and challenges of roaming services, including interoperability, user convenience, and data privacy concerns. The conversation also touches on the future of roaming and its potential impact on electric vehicle adoption and green transportation goals.We also hear from podcast sponsors Zapmap as Melanie Shufflebotham explains how roaming operators such as Zap-Pay operate in the market.This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.Links in the show notes:181 - The Instavolt Episode - The EV Musings PodcastZapmap survey reveals UK EV drivers' top-rated charging networks - ZapmapThis Port of LA terminal just ditched all propane forklifts for electric | Electrek - Cool thingEpisode produced by Arran Sheppard at Urban Podcasts: https://www.urbanpodcasts.co.uk(C) 2019-2025 Gary Comerford Support me: Patreon Link: http://www.patreon.com/evmusingsKo-fi Link: http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusings The Books:'So, you've gone electric?' on Amazon : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q5JVF1X'So, you've gone renewable?' on Amazon : https://amzn.to/3LXvIckSocial Media:EVMusings: Twitter https://twitter.com/MusingsEvInstagram: @EVmusingsOctopus Energy referral code (Click this link to get started) https://share.octopus.energy/neat-star-460Upgrade to smarter EV driving with a free week's trial of Zapmap Premium, find out more here https://evmusings.com/zapmap-premiumMentioned in this episode:ZapmapThe EV Musings Podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the go-to app for EV drivers in the UK, which helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.

There was a time when the typical family car was a four-door sedan, not unlike the 2025 Hyundai Sonata. But then the SUV craze hit, and families defected to crossovers like the 2025 Mazda CX-90. So this week, we litigate this issue with road tests of the hybrid version of the Sonata and the plug-in hybrid version of the CX-90. Host Jack Nerad road-tested the 2025 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus, a three-row SUV that blends a 323-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain with upscale features. Its e-Skyactiv PHEV system offers an estimated 26-mile all-electric range and a total range of 490 miles. Beyond its power and fuel economy, it features an eight-speed automatic transmission, several drive modes, and i-ACTIV all-wheel drive. Inside, the seven-passenger cabin features Nappa leather, ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain's chairs, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, and a 12-speaker Bose system. A full suite of advanced safety features ensures peace of mind, while its 3,500-pound towing capacity adds versatility. Across the country, co-host Chris Teague spent a week behind the wheel of the 2025 Hyundai Sonata Limited Hybrid, a midsize sedan that combines style, comfort, and strong fuel economy. Powered by a 2.0-liter engine and electric motor that delivers torque through a six-speed automatic transmission, the handsome four-door delivers an impressive 47 mpg combined. Key features include a panoramic sunroof, 17-inch alloy wheels, and leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats. From the tech perspective, the Sonata offers a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose premium audio, and a surround-view monitor. Advanced safety technologies such as forward collision-avoidance assist, blind-spot collision warning, and highway drive assist round out the package. So, which of these is the better family car, circa 2015? We'll share our thoughts. Turning to the news, we examine how tariffs are impacting U.S. car prices. While average prices rose only 0.8% year-over-year in April, tariffs have led to somewhat sharper increases on some imported vehicles. As pre-tariff inventory thins, supply is tightening, and affordable new cars are becoming harder to find, especially as models like the Nissan Versa exit the sub-$20,000 segment. We also take a look at AAA's newest survey, which shows consumer interest in EVs is declining. Only 16% of respondents said they would likely choose an EV for their next vehicle, while 63% are unlikely to do so. Top concerns include battery repair costs and high purchase prices, despite improving durability and falling prices in some EV segments. We'll give you our thoughts as well. In response to slowing demand, Lucid Motors is slashing prices on its 2025 Air lineup, offering up to $31,500 in savings on the Air Grand Touring. Other trims see discounts as well, as Lucid seeks to better compete with Tesla and other luxury EV makers. Finally, we highlight Volkswagen of America's celebration of International Volkswagen Bus Day. VW is restoring the 1977 T2 “magic bus” that survived Southern California's Palisades fire, honoring the VW bus legacy, from the classic T1 to today's all-electric ID. Buzz. This week's listener question comes from Ronald in Stockton, California, who asks: “I've had trouble with my windshield wipers over the years, and I'm wondering if I just don't replace them often enough. Do you have any thoughts on windshield wipers? Should I clean my windshield when I install them?” Chris and Jack will have the answers from the experts.

Are SUVs like the 2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT and Acura RDX really meant to go off road? That's a question we will answer this week as we discuss both vehicles after thoroughly road testing them. Cohost Chris Teague test-drove the refreshed 2025 Acura RDX, a compact luxury SUV with updated styling, a sharper grille, a more functional cabin, and upgraded tech, including a wide-screen 10.2-inch display. The RDX is powered by a 272-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and a suite of standard safety features complete the package. The specs are impressive, but does the RDX also have a “feature” that might turn you off? While Chris was at the wheel of the Acura, Host Jack Nerad put the (semi-)rugged 2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT AWD to the test. This new variant adds off-road-inspired styling, 19-inch black alloy wheels, and 8.3 inches of ground clearance. Under the hood, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is paired with Hyundai's HTRAC all-wheel-drive system. Inside, the Tucson XRT features a comfortable, tech-forward cabin with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The question is off-roader or soft-roader? In this week's news segment, we cover the debut of the 2026 Toyota RAV4, redesigned for its sixth generation with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains only. New trims include the sporty GR SPORT and off-road-ready Woodland edition. We also examine Congress's recent vote to block California's plan to phase out gas-only car sales by 2035, breaking down what this means for national emissions policy and the EV market. The industry hails the change, but some environments cry foul. In other news, Tesla's sales in Europe have fallen nearly 50% in April, despite overall EV market growth. Based on that, we explore possible causes, including public perceptions of CEO Elon Musk and the realities of the European auto market, which has welcomed (kinda) the Chinese. Finally, Volvo's announcement of 3,000 job cuts signals broader challenges amid a slowing EV market and global trade uncertainties. Our special guest this week is Anthony Watkins, Toyota product expert, who joins us to discuss the 2026 Toyota BZ, the brand's heavily revised electric crossover. Jack Nerad drove the new version, and we'll have a special report. We'll also answer our listener question of the week: Connor from Davenport, Iowa, asks, “Should I buy or lease my next car? I drive about 8 to 9,000 miles a year — would a lease make sense?” We offer our take. Have a question for the show? Email us anytime at editor@drivingtoday.com.

Description:In this episode, we talk about the environmental benefits of electric vehicles (EVs) compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, highlighting a study that shows EVs can reduce brake dust emissions by 83% through regenerative braking. I discuss advancements in in-car technology, specifically the differences between Android Auto and Android Automotive, along with upcoming features that enhance the driving experience.Additionally, I cover recent Tesla updates, including real-time supercharging status for iPhone users and a 'child left alone detection' safety feature. I also share insights on Tesla's planned robo-taxi service in Austin while expressing some skepticism about its rollout.

Save thousands on any new car (Australia-only): https://autoexpert.com.au/contactGet a great deal on home solar (or add a quality battery to your existing setup): https://autoexpert.com.au/solarIn this video:Polestar has just started offering battery state of health certificates on select used Polestar 2s being resold in its dealer network. Companies don't get up in the morning and randomly decide this kind of thing is a good idea. It has to be for a reason.According to them: "As part of the Polestar Pre-owned programme, in which select used cars re-enter the partner network, the certificate transparently shows customers the battery health and capacity of a used Polestar 2. Certifying the useable battery as a percentage, customers can purchase a pre-owned Polestar 2 with peace-of-mind that the car's battery is in optimal condition."The battery in a Polestar 2 is actually one of the few things that's proven quite robust so far, with very few owners complaining about range falling into the Marianas Trench. There have been plenty of other faults, but not the battery.Doing this is most probably because the rest of the car has proven to be such an unreliable, abject lemon. Like, don't mind the lemon - look at how healthy the battery is, dude. Again, according to them: "Since its launch in 2020, Polestar 2 has received over 20 over-the-air (OTA) software updates, allowing the car to continuously improve over time. For Polestar 2, OTA updates have led to efficiency gains, extending the car's range through battery management, new functionality with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as many loved apps including Waze and YouTube. With regularly scheduled software updates, Pre-owned customers can be assured they have the latest software features in their car."This is a very interesting way to put it. It's a totally true statement - as far as it goes - but not exactly a complete picture of the OTA reality. I'd argue that many - maybe most - of these OTAs are (often unsuccessful) attempts to fix something that should have been sorted in R&D, before deploying the vehicle publicly.So, battery health certificate or not, Polestar 2 is set to go down in the history books as one of the first enduring EV lemons. Cybertruck is on the podium, certainly, but Polestar 2 is up there, in the Lemon-Scented EV Sweepstakes.

Volvo tendrá primero Gemini en sus carros con Android 15: comandos naturales, traducciones, rutas, mensajes y recetas mientras manejasPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCo Volvo será la primera marca en tener Gemini dentro del carro, con Android 15 listo para manejar tu día con comandos de voz naturales. Volvo y Google están trabajando juntos para que los autos de la marca sueca reciban primero las nuevas funciones de Android Automotive. Durante el evento Google I/O 2025, presentaron un Volvo EX90 eléctrico funcionando con Android 15, mucho antes de que otras marcas lo incorporen. Además, confirmaron que los conductores de Volvo serán los primeros en probar Gemini, el nuevo asistente con inteligencia artificial. Esta colaboración convierte a Volvo en una plataforma de referencia para desarrollar y probar las nuevas funciones del sistema operativo, acelerando su llegada al resto del mundo. ¿Te imaginas hablar con tu carro como si fuera una persona? Pero, ¿qué pasa con tu privacidad cuando el auto empieza a leer tus mensajes? Volvo fue uno de los primeros fabricantes en adoptar Android Automotive, un sistema operativo creado por Google que controla directamente la pantalla del tablero, el sistema de navegación, el audio y hasta el aire acondicionado del carro, sin necesidad de conectar el celular. En esta nueva fase del acuerdo, Google usará los vehículos Volvo como su plataforma de pruebas. Esto quiere decir que los ingenieros de Google conducirán estos autos con las nuevas versiones de Android y Gemini para ver cómo se comportan en la vida real. Así podrán ajustar todo antes de liberar las actualizaciones al resto de marcas. El Volvo EX90 que mostraron ya funciona con Android 15, mientras que otros fabricantes aún están usando Android 13. Este adelanto también plantea preguntas importantes. Según el jefe de ingeniería de software de Volvo, Alwin Bakkenes, muchas funciones que ya están en tu teléfono todavía no han llegado a los carros, porque la industria suele ir dos versiones de Android por detrás. Pero ahora, Volvo se adelantará por lo menos dos años. El riesgo está en la cantidad de información que el vehículo tendrá que procesar: Gemini va a acceder a tus correos, tus mensajes, tus contactos y tus búsquedas para darte respuestas útiles mientras manejas. Y eso implica enviar muchos datos a los servidores de Google. Además, si otras marcas no logran ponerse al día con estas innovaciones, podríamos tener una industria automotriz con experiencias muy diferentes según la marca que tengas. La idea es que, con Gemini, puedas decirle a tu carro frases como: “Busca en mis mensajes la dirección de la oficina y llévame por la ruta más rápida, sin peajes”, y que el carro lo haga, sin que tengas que tocar la pantalla ni mirar el celular. Gemini también podrá traducir tus mensajes, leer tus correos, crear listas de compras o buscar recetas mientras vas en camino al supermercado. Según Google, esta integración comenzará a llegar a los autos Volvo con Android Automotive más adelante este mismo año. Y lo mejor: todo funcionará con lenguaje natural. No hará falta decir comandos rígidos ni repetir frases como si hablaras con un robot. Solo tienes que hablar como lo harías con una persona. Gemini también va a llegar a Android Auto, que es el sistema que refleja el celular en la pantalla del carro, aunque primero se estrenará en los autos que tienen Android Automotive de fábrica. Y no solo va a estar en los carros. También llegará a relojes inteligentes con Wear OS, televisores con Google TV y los nuevos visores de realidad extendida que Google está desarrollando junto con Samsung. En todos estos dispositivos, Gemini podrá ayudarte a buscar rutas, leer mensajes, responder con traducciones y hasta darte un resumen del libro que no alcanzaste a terminar antes de tu reunión. Según Google, su idea es que Gemini se convierta en un asistente que puedas usar en cualquier dispositivo Android, en cualquier momento del día. Volvo y Google se han unido para que tu carro entienda tu voz, te ayude a organizar tu día y reciba funciones antes que nadie. Android 15 y Gemini llegarán primero a los modelos Volvo. ¿Te emociona que tu próximo carro te entienda cuando le hablas? Cuéntamelo y sigue el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify para enterarte de más avances como este.

En un episodio en el que conseguimos salir en directo tras muchos problemas técnicos, vamos a analizar la actualidad semanal. Y en esta semana la noticia, es una noticia ultra!Porque esta semana se ha presentado la evolución de CarPlay, “una app para controlarlos todos” CarPlay Ultra. Este ha sido el nombre que Apple ha dado a su sistema operativo con el que pretende hacer competencia a Android Auto. De momento vas a tener que desembolsar algo más que los mil y pico euros del iPhone que es obligatorio para disfrutar de CarPlay Ultra. Concretamente 250.000€ que es el precio base del primer vehículo en traerlo de serie.Analizaremos la nueva herramienta que ha presentado Apple para dar el salto de Spotify a Music. Creemos que no es suficiente para que des ese paso, que tiene que haber algún motivo más de peso para que tomemos esta decisión. Y vamos a dar nuestras opiniones al respecto.Una vez más, te diga lo que te diga tu pareja, el tamaño si importa y es por ello que las marcas tecnológicas están rizando el rizo para presentar su smartphone más fino posible. Obviamente, poniendo en la balanza tanto su batería como su posible falta de rigidez estructural.Fight!!Tenemos una nueva entrega de nuestro 7 de 7. Lo tenemos!!!
At last, a French car this week – I was really looking forward to driving theRenault Megane E-Tech SUV. Visually, this electric Megane has a greatsilhouette more like a hatchback with large 20-inch alloys tucked right intothe corners, the styling impressive and giving it a more premium feelalthough the resultant high tail tends to limit rear visibility. With a 60kWhbattery pack feeding a single electric motor with 160kW and 320Nm oftorque driving through the front wheels it offers a driving range of 454Km.Step in and your immediately impressed with a quality and functionalinterior with great finishes. A wide 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster andinterconnected 9-inch multimedia touchscreen thankfully combine withswitchgear to make it all very user friendly, something the Chinesenewcomers could well learn from. There’s Android Auto and Apple CarPlay,dual zone climate control, wireless phone charging, heated front seats anda heated steering wheel. At $54,990 plus on-road costs the Megane E-Techis well priced, with combination cloth and leather seats that offer greatcomfort but lack power adjustment while the interior is a standout indesign. Warranty underdone at five-years/100,000km, battery warranty 8-years/160,000km. The proof however is in the driving which I’ll detail in anhour.

When Ford refreshes an icon like the Explorer, we pay attention. The 2025 Explorer Active arrives as the sixth generation of this staple American SUV, refined with subtle but meaningful updates that enhance the driving experience without sacrificing what loyal fans love about the model.Behind the wheel of this Chicago-assembled standard SUV, we immediately noticed the responsive 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine delivering 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque through a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission. The wide power band provides confident acceleration when merging or passing, while returning a respectable 21.5 MPG over our 451-mile test drive. With a towing capacity of 5,300 pounds, it balances everyday drivability with weekend adventure capabilities.The Explorer's interior shows Ford's commitment to modern technology and comfort. The cockpit features a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster paired with an all-new 13.2-inch touchscreen housing infotainment, navigation, and vehicle controls. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard, with USB-C ports available for all three rows. Our test model's six-passenger configuration included bucket seats in both first and second rows, with a compact third row best suited for children or smaller adults. At $48,520 as tested, the Explorer positions itself slightly above competitors like the Kia Telluride, Mazda CX-90, and Hyundai Palisade, betting that its blend of technology, power, and refinement justifies the premium. Whether you're considering an SUV upgrade or simply curious about what's new in the segment, the Explorer demonstrates how an established model can continue to evolve while maintaining its core appeal. Experience the difference yourself with a test drive at your local Ford dealership.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Google heeft de grootste update van besturingssysteem Android in jaren aangekondigd met versie 16. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Android is het meest gebruikte besturingssysteem ter wereld en zit bijvoorbeeld in smartphones van Samsung, Oppo, Xiaomi en de eigen Pixel-smartphones. Het besturingssysteem en apps van Google, zoals Gmail, krijgen een nieuw ontwerp. Onder meer de vormen en kleuren worden aangepast, de letters worden groter en animaties trekken meer de aandacht. Daarmee lijkt Google vooral een jongere doelgroep te willen bereiken, want over het algemeen gebruiken die liever een iPhone. Gebruikers kunnen de update volgens Google later dit jaar downloaden. Mensen met een Pixel-telefoon kunnen dit als eerste doen. Naast smartphones geldt de update ook voor het besturingssysteem van de smarthorloges van Google. De smarthorloges krijgen met de vernieuwing ook een langere batterijduur en het AI-model Gemini. Google stopt hun AI-assistent Gemini ook in andere Google-producten, zoals Google TV en Android Auto.

In this episode of EV Musings, host Gary dives deep into the concept of "plug and charge" for electric vehicles. He explains how Tesla has mastered this seamless charging experience and why other networks are struggling to implement it. Gary discusses the technical, operational, and logistical challenges that prevent widespread adoption, including the need for standardized hardware, software, payment systems, and backend support. He also highlights the efforts of companies like Hubject in creating global standards and the cautious approach of UK charge point operators toward adopting plug and charge.This season of the podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.Links in the show notes:Ember Buses - Aberdeen to Edinburgh and Glasgow - Cool ThingZapmap survey reveals UK EV drivers' top-rated charging networks - ZapmapPlug and Charge Ecosystem OverviewLondon to Brighton, Paris, and GenevaEpisode produced by Arran Sheppard at Urban Podcasts: https://www.urbanpodcasts.co.uk(C) 2019-2025 Gary Comerford Support me: Patreon Link: http://www.patreon.com/evmusingsKo-fi Link: http://www.ko-fi.com/evmusings The Books:'So, you've gone electric?' on Amazon : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q5JVF1X'So, you've gone renewable?' on Amazon : https://amzn.to/3LXvIckSocial Media:EVMusings: Twitter https://twitter.com/MusingsEvInstagram: @EVmusingsOctopus Energy referral code (Click this link to get started) https://share.octopus.energy/neat-star-460Upgrade to smarter EV driving with a free week's trial of Zapmap Premium, find out more here https://evmusings.com/zapmap-premiumMentioned in this episode:ZapmapThe EV Musings Podcast is sponsored by Zapmap, the go-to app for EV drivers in the UK, which helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.

In this episode of EV Musings, host Gary explores the misconception that faster rapid chargers automatically result in faster EV charging. He discusses how various factors—such as vehicle compatibility, battery temperature, and charger infrastructure—impact actual charging speeds. Guest Russ Boulton shares real-world insights about charger misuse, where EV drivers often occupy ultra-rapid chargers their vehicles can't fully utilize. The episode emphasizes the importance of education, app optimization, and better infrastructure planning to improve the EV charging experience and reduce unnecessary queues.Guest Details: Russ BoultonRuss is the architect of our award-winning TCO+ methodology and helps shape the way we deliver insight-led fleet solutions.

Further on Mazda’s long standing CX-5 SUV but still highly competitive with ten models in a mix of petrol and diesel and front or all-wheel drive, I’m driving the second tier 2.5-litre six-speed automatic CX-5 Maxx Sport front wheel drive at $43,184 drive-away with optional metallic paint. I did nearly 900km over the Anzac weekend with a lot of highway cruising at the open road limit. The naturally aspirated four-cylinder with 140kW and 252Nm of torque did a workmanlike job but what surprised was the economy, averaging 7.4L/100km on 91 grade petrol with four passengers. This is simply a great allrounder, well shod 17-inch alloy wheels provide a very comfortable ride while the electric power assistance offers good feel whilst parking and on the run. Comfort and convenience items include dual zone climate control, satellite navigation, a head-up instrument display, well bolstered cloth seats, a rear-view camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus a good level of active safety elements. Thankfully the warning elements are not intrusive like many of the new breed of Chinese SUV’s. Disappointments – no wireless phone charger and the lack of a power rear door. However, the Mazda CX-5 is still up there as one of our best mid-size SUV’s. I’m David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode of EV Musings explores the practicalities and economics of living with an electric vehicle without access to a home charger. Gary chats with Bob Murphy, a technical executive in EV infrastructure, who shares his experience of driving a Kia Soul EV while relying solely on public and workplace charging. Over a month, Bob tracked his charging habits and costs, revealing that with thoughtful planning and strategic use of available infrastructure, it's possible to keep EV running costs comparable to or even lower than those of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The discussion covers charging strategies, cost comparisons, and the real-world challenges and benefits of public EV charging.Guest Details: Bob Murphy is an EV & Infrastructure specialist with over a decade of experience operating fleets, facilitating charge points, running networks at a national level, and driving his own EV's all without the safety net of a home charger!

This week we road test two vehicles with strong all-terrain credentials: the 2025 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro Hybrid and the 2025 Lexus LX 700h. Co-host Chris Teague put the Toyota through its paces as winter finally turns to spring in Maine. Host Jack Nerad, accompanied by most of his immediate family, tested the luxury Lexus during a extended weekend in Texas. Both vehicles pair a hybrid powertrain with off-road-focused equipment, so there are interesting parallels between the two in addition to their obvious — and not-so-obvious differences. The Tacoma uses the i-FORCE MAX system, combining a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine and electric motor for a total output of 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. The TRD Pro's standard equipment includes part-time four-wheel drive, FOX QS3 adjustable shocks with rear remote reservoirs, and 33-inch Goodyear tires on 18-inch black alloy wheels. Unique to the TRD Pro, IsoDynamic Performance Seats use an air-over-oil shock system designed to reduce body movement on rough terrain. Exterior elements include a TRD grille, cat-back exhaust, and the exclusive Mudbath paint option. Inside, the Teagues got the benefit of the TRD Pro's 14-inch touchscreen with Toyota's latest multimedia system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and JBL audio. The truck had Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, offering adaptive cruise control, lane tracing assist, road sign recognition, and proactive driving assist with support features like trailer backup guidance and a digital rearview mirror. While the Teagues certainly didn't suffer, the Nerad family basked in the ultra-luxury of the 2025 Lexus LX 700h Overtrail. The full-size premium SUV combines hybrid performance, off-road functionality, and upscale features that set it apart from previous LX editions. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 with a hybrid system that produces 457 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque, it uses a 10-speed automatic transmission and offers full-time 4WD. While it offered a boulevard ride as we discovered on our way to and from Globe Life Field, the 700h Overtrail is loaded for bear on the off-road front. It includes Crawl Control, Active Height Control, and Multi-Terrain Select, plus 33-inch all-terrain tires, locking differentials, and a reinforced platform to support and waterproof the hybrid battery. Inside, the cabin offers massaging, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a wireless phone charger, and a cool box. As we did some house-hunting, we made extensive use of the 12.3-inch touchscreen with Lexus Interface, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloud-based navigation, and head-up display. Of course, we'll offer even more detail in this episode. Our guest this week is Frank Hanley, Senior Director, Automotive Benchmarking at J.D. Power. In his interview with Host Jack Nerad, he'll be discussing a very important issue going forward — AI in cars, so look for that. We're certain you'll appreciate Frank's insight. In the news this week we'll discuss a J.D. Power analysis of what the proposed tariffs would do to vehicle prices. The conclusions might surprise you, and we'll have all the details. The state of New York is battling the federal government over its congestion tolls, and it has implications for anyone who's planning to travel into a big city. Plus, Chrysler is celebrating its one-hundredth birthday, and we'll have a look back at some of that company's innovations through the years. It's an impressive list. So we have a lot to talk about this week. It's a jam-packed show.

Driving one of the new Chinese electric cars today – the Leapmotor C10, acompany that started business in 2015, backed by the Stellantis company, themerger of Fiat Chrysler and the French PSA Group. The Leapmotor C10 a mid-sized SUV in two grades, the Style at $47,500, and the Design at $51,500, bothdriveaway. These prices sharp and below similar sized offerings from other newChinese brands, as well as the Kia EV 5 and the Tesla model Y. And the price alsoincludes a 12-month subscription to the Charge Fox network. The specificationimpressive – dual zone climate control, LED headlights, power front seats, apanoramic sunroof, wireless phone charger, 12 speaker sound, a power tailgate,a 14.6-inch touch screen, but no Apple CarPlay and Android Auto - all in a roomyfive seat somewhat handsome body with great safety credentials. With one longslot for an air vent and no directional controls the air-conditioning and heatingresponse is poor at best. On face value though, a sharply priced very comfortablefamily friendly mid-size SUV with a single electric motor with a 69.9kWh batterydriving the rear wheels. But how does it drive – a disappointment unfortunatelywith which I’ll explain next segment. I’m David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just as 7-Eleven offers too much good stuff, that's what we have in this week's episode of America on the Road. We've been driving a lot of interesting vehicles lately, and so today we thought we'd bring you not two road tests but four — 2025 Toyota Tundra, 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, 2025 Mazda CX-50, 2025 Hyundai Elantra N Line. It's a fascinating quartet of vehicles each with something special to bring to the table. Our Toyota Tundra test vehicle was a 4x4 SRS CrewMax 5.5 that blends rugged capability with modern features, offering a spacious cabin for five and a 5.5-foot composite bed equipped with a power outlet, LED lighting, and an integrated deck rail system. Powered by a 389-horsepower 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, it features part-time four-wheel drive and off-road-ready suspension. This model is equipped with the optional TRD Rally Package, adding 18-inch TRD alloy wheels, Bilstein shocks, skid plates, Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, and unique TRD interior and exterior styling. Additional accessories like a TRD performance air filter, bed mat, and wheel locks further boost its practicality and rugged appeal. The big question is whether the turbo V6 matches the ability of a V8. And is the pricey TRD Rally Package worth the added price? And how does the new hybrid version of the Mazda CX-50 stack up? It pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with three electric motors, an EV battery, and an electronically controlled CVT to deliver 219 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque, along with standard electric all-wheel drive. It features Mazda's Mi-Drive modes for power and trail driving, hill launch assist, and a 1,500-pound towing capacity. The exterior is sharp with LED headlights, a panoramic moonroof, roof rails, and a power rear liftgate. Inside, the CX-50 Hybrid seats five and offers leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power driver's seat with memory, and a wireless phone charger. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rain-sensing wipers, a wiper de-icer, keyless entry, and an electric parking brake round out the vehicle's feature list. Host Jack Nerad took this one to the desert and back, and we'll have his full report. Meanwhile, co-host Chris Teague took the wheel of the 2025 Lincoln Nautilus and the 2025 Hyundai Elantra N Line. He found the Nautilus offers a refined interior with a standard 48-inch panoramic display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Lincoln's new Digital Scent system for a personalized cabin experience. Two powertrain choices are available: a 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder and a 310-horsepower hybrid, both paired with standard all-wheel drive. Additional features include available BlueCruise 1.2 hands-free driving technology, premium leather seating, and an optional Revel Ultima 3D audio system. The 2025 Elantra N Line features a sport-tuned chassis, a 201-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter engine, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for sharper performance than its siblings. It comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, unique N Line exterior styling, a black mesh grille, and a sports interior with leather-trimmed seats and alloy pedals. Technology highlights include a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, wireless charging, and Hyundai's Bluelink+ connected services. So how does it match up with its most direct competitor, the Honda Civic Si? Chris and Jack will have the answers for you. In the news this week, we have a crisis on our hands, and it's not tariffs; it's uninsured motorists. They are costing each of us who has car insurance billions of dollars each year. We'll tell you what we learned about it a little later in the show. Of course, there is a lot of buzz right now about tariffs in the auto industry. We'll tell you what is real and what is hype and give you thoughts on how you should proceed if you're planning to buy a car this year.
This episode of the podcast explores the rising cost of electric vehicle insurance premiums. Gary is joined by insurance expert Steven Williams to discuss the factors influencing these increases, including inflation, repair costs, and the evolving nature of vehicle technology. They also examine the role of telematics, the impact of software updates on insurance pricing, and potential innovations in EV insurance.
