What makes a vehicle truly family-friendly? Is it just about having enough cupholders and space for car seats, or is there something more to consider when shopping for your family's next ride? Alex Kwanton from U.S. News & World Report joins us to reveal the results of their comprehensive "Best Cars for Families 2025" research, which evaluated over 100 vehicles across nine different classes.The conversation dives deep into what features actually matter for families, from the obvious (passenger and cargo space) to the overlooked (teen driver controls, surround-view cameras, and rear seat reminders). We explore both established winners like the six-time champion Kia Telluride and newcomers like the Kia EV9, which offers three-row electric versatility at a more accessible price point than its $80,000+ competitors.Some of the findings might surprise you. Did you know the compact Hyundai Tucson offers just 0.8 inches less rear legroom than a full-size Chevrolet Tahoe? Or that the Honda Accord's backseat rivals luxury sedans costing twice as much? From practical minivans to spacious SUVs and efficient sedans, we cover the vehicles that excel at making family transportation easier, safer, and more convenient.Whether you're planning summer road trips or juggling daily school runs, this episode provides invaluable insights into which vehicles deserve your consideration. We also touch on the time-saving benefits of electric vehicles for busy parents and discuss how family needs should shape your next vehicle purchase.

This flagship electric SUV from the Swedish automaker promises to revolutionise how they go about making vehicles in the future, but its launch has raised some eyebrows in the industry. In this episode, I explore the EX90's impressive features, from its powerful electric powertrain to its cutting-edge safety systems. I also discuss how Volvo's legacy of innovation in automotive safety has shaped this new offering. But we'll also tackle the elephant in the room: the missing features at launch. - Is Volvo risking its hard-earned reputation for safety and reliability by launching a vehicle with key features missing? - How does the EX90 stack up against competitors like the Kia EV9, Rivian R1S, and Tesla Model Y? - What are the promises and perils of software-defined vehicles? - Do startup EV makers get more leeway when launching unfinished products, and promising future updates to fix any issues?

Hyundai made a radical change with its 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. Now in its fifth generation, the Santa Fe swerved from the child-transport/grocery-getter lane to take on a new, more purposeful look. At the same time, it reintroduced a third row of seating and added a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system across all trims. Host Jack Nerad wanted to see how the Santa Fe would fare on a road trip — after all, we are America on the Road — so he and his wife set forth on a trip up the California coast with their destination, the charming college town of San Luis Obispo. His portion of this week's road test segment will include the details, not just his verdict but also his wife's. On the other side of the continent, Co-Host Chris Teague, the proud new owner of a battery-electric SUV, took one of his vehicle's competitors for a weeklong test spin. The Kia EV9 has been a crowd-pleaser since it was first introduced as a concept vehicle at the Los Angeles Auto Show several years ago and is still a show-stopper. But does it measure up in value to its competitors in the increasingly crowded field? We'll have Chris Teague's answer in this episode. In the news this week, carmakers don't typically introduce new versions of current model-year vehicles as a new model year is set to begin, but Ram did just that this week. The truck brand announced Ram Power Wagon and Rebel HD Lunar Editions with moon-oriented color schemes and Lunar body-side graphics. We'll have more details for you. Ram also announced the end of production of one of its longest-running trucks. And we'll have the details on that, too. Electric vehicle maker Rivian has temporarily halted production of one of its most important vehicles, and we'll sort out what it means to the company's future as EV makers continue to struggle. Speaking of that, a report from the Department of Energy says that the cost of electric-car batteries has dropped 90 percent in the past 15 years. So why are EVs much less expensive than they are? We'll have details that will make sense of all that coming up. This week, our special guest is Matt Jones, who serves as TrueCar's source of truth. TrueCar is an online car-buying site, and Matt Jones has a lot of insight on car buying, so if you're thinking of purchasing a vehicle this year, you'll want to hear what he has to say. All that and more are coming up in this America on the Road episode. America on the Road is brought to you by Driving Today.com, Mercury Insurance, and EMLandsea.com , the publisher of Nerad's latest book, Dance in the Dark, which is available HERE on Amazon.com

In for Jill this week is long-time friend of the Show Damon Bell of Cars.com. Damon and Tom opened the show talking about Car.com's long-term Tesla Model Y, and its replacement in the Cars fleet, the all-new 3-row Kia EV9 electric crossover. While the Model Y was generally reliable, small glitches compromised its overall appeal to the Cars staff; listen in for more details. As for the Kia, Damon is so far impressed. Cars will publish regular updates of the EV9's performance and utility. (Visit the Car Stuff Podcast Facebook page for a link.) In the second segment, the hosts welcome CDK Global Director of Content Marketing Dave Thomas. Dave shared insights into dealer attitudes toward electric vehicles and EV marketing, and their optimism--or lack thereof--regarding the near- and mid-term success of carmaker EV programs. In the last segment Damon is subject to Tom's "Is it a Lexus?" Quiz.
There are two electrified SUVs to talk about on this weeks Unnamed Automotive Podcast. First up Benjamin drives the 2024 Kia EV9, an all-electric three row SUV, which faces limited competition. Kia has plenty of experience with electrified platforms, so Benjamin dives into what makes the EV9 work and where it struggles. Then Sami gets his turn in the 2024 Mazda CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid. With a little over 20 miles of electric driving range the Japanese crossover has limited appeal as an electric alternative to the many three-rows out there, but the rest of the package may be able to save that fact. On the other hand, Sami suggests that there may be too many compromises and very little substance to the new Mazda, and that has him worried about the future of the brand. Thanks for listening!
