GMC Hummer gets a reality check. The GMC Hummer will be continuing the theme of the original gas-guzzling Hummer H1, H2 and H3 by earning its place as the least efficient electric vehicle when it goes on sale. At 9,063 pounds, its 212.7 kWh battery weighs 32% of that alone, making it no wonder this gargantuan truck will have to work a little harder to be efficient. The EPA … [Read more...] about News Desk [February 16th, 2022]
Jaguar
News Desk [February 3rd, 2022]
Jaguar ready to roll with new in-house EV platform. JLR is looking to make major moves in the electric car space, which started with Jaguar's announcement about becoming electric-only by 2025 last year. Now, information about the British carmaker's new in-house electric platform is beginning to emerge, including its name – "Panthera". More on this here. Toyota takes … [Read more...] about News Desk [February 3rd, 2022]

2020 Jaguar I Pace | The Electric Kitty
Jaguar’s all-electric I-Pace has been around for a while. However, it continues to live in the shadow of Tesla’s SUVs due to its lack of range. Will its driving dynamics and standout styling be enough to make you consider one over the domestic and German competition? 0 to 60: 4.1 seconds 60 to 0: 114 feet Cabin Noise: B; 71 dB Buy Merch! http://aoamerch.com … [Read more...] about 2020 Jaguar I Pace | The Electric Kitty
2019 Jaguar I-Pace Review
Up till now the only non-Tesla EVs have been econo-boxes or EV conversions. We've had plug-in hybrids that have been advertised as competition, we've had an inexpensive hatchback (Bolt), and a short-range sedan (Clarity). But the one thing we haven't had was a long-range luxury entry that was designed from the ground up to be an electric vehicle. Until now. The Jaguar I-Pace is … [Read more...] about 2019 Jaguar I-Pace Review
2018 Jaguar XE Review
Jaguar's XE combines the urgency of the BMW 3-Series with the handling ability of the Cadillac ATS, handling refinement of the Lexus IS and a price tag sized below the Audi A4. While it's still not my "all-around" top pick in this competitive segment it is a close number two and certainly my choice if you're looking for the most fun for your dollar. 0-30: 2 … [Read more...] about 2018 Jaguar XE Review
2017 Jaguar F-Pace Review
Jaguar seems to have waited the longest to join the crossover party but the 2017 F-Pace is worth the wait. In a segment that seems to be increasingly full of practical front wheel drive family haulers, the F-Pace is all about being the best handling compact luxury CUV leaving the X3 behind and giving the Macan a run for its money. 0-30: 2.2 Seconds 0-60: 5.3 Seconds 1/4 … [Read more...] about 2017 Jaguar F-Pace Review
2016 Jaguar XF 35t R-Sport Review
The XF combines the handling feel of the Cadillac with the urgency we see only in the Jag and the Audi A6 3.0T, at a price that should make Lexus stand up and take notice. At $52,895, the XF may seem like a spendy option in this segment — until you realize that there is no 2.0-liter turbo XF at this time. Comparing apples to apples, the Jaguar is both one of the faster V6 … [Read more...] about 2016 Jaguar XF 35t R-Sport Review
2016 Jaguar F-Type S Review (With Manual Transmission!)
The F-Type isn’t the E-Type reimagined. The F-Type is too comfortable, too isolated, and, despite the manual transmission, it is also too modern. Modernity has made this kitty a little less fun, a little more practical and, at the same time, explains the manual transmission. Journalists like myself long complained about the lack of a stick in the F-Type. We claimed that such an … [Read more...] about 2016 Jaguar F-Type S Review (With Manual Transmission!)
Jaguar F-Type S Infotainment Review
Jaguar and Land Rover have lagged behind other luxury entries when it comes to snazzy in-vehicle infotainment systems. Like the rest of JLR’s lineup, the F-Type uses a touchscreen LCD instead of a rotary knob/joystick input method. The 8-inch LCD is bright, but positioned somewhat low in the dashboard, which means your eyes are farther from the road when using the system. … [Read more...] about Jaguar F-Type S Infotainment Review
