2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge Review

March 30, 2022 by Alex L. Dykes

The 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge. Outside of EV startups like Tesla and Lucid, Volvo has arguably been moving towards a zero emissions future more rapidly than any other luxury car company. Yes, even though they have just one EV on sale currently with a second one on sale later this month. How can that be? It's all about Volvo's pragmatic march towards electrification which … [Read more...] about 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge Review

Subaru’s First EV Is Much Better in Person Than On “Paper” – 2023 Subaru Solterra First Drive Review

March 20, 2022 by Alex L. Dykes

Sometimes a car can be more than the sub of it’s specifications and the 2023 Solterra is certainly that kind of car. Let’s be honest, on paper the Solterra doesn’t look great: xxx miles of range, “just” 218 horsepower, no funk, and slow charging made it the newest EV I was least interested in driving… But then I drove it and I’m glad I did. https://youtu.be/XWpMH4qrFmg It’s A … [Read more...] about Subaru’s First EV Is Much Better in Person Than On “Paper” – 2023 Subaru Solterra First Drive Review

The Acura MDX Type S is a Flagship with 355 Horsepower

March 9, 2022 by Alex L. Dykes

2022 Acura MDX Type S, exterior, yellow, front 3/4

It's no secret that that the MDX is one of Acura's most important products. Not only is it currently Acura's best-selling model, it'll also be the most expensive Acura model now that the NSX sports car will end production this year. It is therefore fitting that 2022 brings America not just an all-new MDX, but the first ever high-performance 3-row from Acura: the 2022 MDX Type … [Read more...] about The Acura MDX Type S is a Flagship with 355 Horsepower

Kia’s Sexy Tesla Alternative, The 2022 Kia EV6

February 1, 2022 by Alex L. Dykes

Kia’s EV6 isn’t the brand’s first EV, but it is arguably its most important. The EV6 is the start of an onslaught of new electric vehicles designed to compete directly with the best in the world under the names "EV#". Kia has pledged that 40% of their vehicles will be electric by 2030 and 100% by 2040, quite a tight schedule. To meet the mark, Kia needs to start 2022 with a … [Read more...] about Kia’s Sexy Tesla Alternative, The 2022 Kia EV6

2022 Mercedes-Benz S 580 4MATIC – The Ultimate Sedan

January 19, 2022 by Alex L. Dykes

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has long been the showcase for the brand’s upcoming tech, and the new-for-2021 S is no different. That’s why I decided to get my hands on the 2022 S 580 4MATIC for a week. I don’t normally seek out ultra-luxury vehicles because, quite frankly, they don’t tend to sell well. With other car companies, the gadgets, gizmos, tech and styling introduced on … [Read more...] about 2022 Mercedes-Benz S 580 4MATIC – The Ultimate Sedan

Hyundai Ioniq 5 DC Fast Charge Test

December 20, 2021 by Alex L. Dykes

With a peak charge rate of 236 kW and a mind blowing 196 kW average charge rate from 10% SOC to 80% SOC, the Ioniq 5 is now the fastest charging EV in the world. According to Hyundai you can go form 10-80% in just 18 minutes and 10% to completely full in just over 40 minutes. Is it really possible? I put it to the test and crunched the … [Read more...] about Hyundai Ioniq 5 DC Fast Charge Test

2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Review – The CUV With A Truck Bed

December 6, 2021 by Alex L. Dykes

2022 has marked the return of the "small pickup" in America. While the new Hyundai Santa Cruz and the Ford Maverick might not be as small as some of you has been hoping for, they are smaller, easier to park, and better to drive than any other truck in America right now. They also offer excellent value when compared against the average compact CUV like a RAV4, Tucson or CR-V. … [Read more...] about 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz Review – The CUV With A Truck Bed

2022 Mercedes EQS 580 Review: The Ultimate EV?

December 3, 2021 by Alex L. Dykes

Think of the 2022 Mercedes Benz EQS not as an "electric S-Class" but an S-Class re-imagined for the 21st century. Interestingly this is also how the S-Class and EQS were engineered. The EQS and S-Class were designed side by side and share some of their electronic gadgets, but aside from a little software and some safety systems they share essentially nothing. The EQS rides … [Read more...] about 2022 Mercedes EQS 580 Review: The Ultimate EV?

Pickup truck are big business in America, you only have to look at the sale charts where pickup trucks are the top three best selling vehicles in the USA are the Ford F-Series pickups, GM's pickup twins, and Ram's full-size truck lineup. It was therefore only a matter of time before one of the big three gave us a green alternative to their V8 truck lineup.
