Showcasing the Best in the Mobile Enhancement Industry
My Volvo C40 Recharge showed up in a striking white color they call Cloud Blue (it features way more white than blue), and I admired how clean it looked. It also flaunts an environmentally clean Polestar-engineered powertrain. The interior has a large LCD instrument cluster with a portrait-mounted infotainment screen, but with just enough buttons and dials to make everything Read more
One of the problems with fully electric vehicles is range anxiety. But in the case of the Hyundai Ionic 6, the range brings you into its gasoline-counterpart territory, making it an option for those who don’t have access to a charger where they live. After topping off, my Ionic 6 tester consistently had over 300 miles on the display. The EPA rates it at 361 miles, but Read more
Once upon a time, Toyota sold the spacious Avalon sedan. Then sedans fell out of favor. You can still get a Camry or Corolla, but the Avalon fit the niche of a reliable sedan that appealed especially to the older demographic. It was discontinued (since it’s hard to sell an old man’s car to a young man) with its role now filled by the Toyota Crown. In Japan, the Crown nameplate Read more
It’s mean. Blacked out. And electric? Yes, the Mercedes AMG EQE is the badass electric SUV. Over at Tesla, it doesn’t really compete against the Model Y that is a similar size, and the Model X is larger with a third row. The Mercedes EQE is doing its own thing as a performance-oriented electric SUV, which is a vehicle category we didn’t think we needed. But as the popularity of Read more
The BMW M340i is not quite the BMW M3, but not quite the base model 330i. But what is nice is the standard non-controversial grille that has put so many people off the M3’s new snout. Forgetting the highly debated grille, the BMW M340i offers daily performance wrapped in a luxury package. For years it was the benchmark sports sedan. It continues this tradition even in the face Read more
The Mercedes GLE is sometimes overlooked because it quietly does its job as a luxury SUV, but it eschews the popular three-row configuration for more trunk space. For those who want three-rows, look to the larger GLS. But if you’re looking for an SUV that can comfortably and capably handle four people and their luggage in comfort, this fits the bill. The rear seats even have Read more
The BMW 4 Series has set itself apart from the more commonplace 3 Series with its swoopy hatchback-like styling. As a gasoline vehicle, it is good and performs similarly to the 3 Series. But what if you take the car and electrify it? Out goes the gasoline engine, and it is replaced with an electric motor and battery pack. Will it still work? Or do you get something that is even Read more
A few weeks ago, I was at Motron Automotive Electronics in London, Ontario, to return some vintage remote car starters I’d borrowed for an article. I was talking with Lee Campbell about the work the shop does. Aside from remote car starter installations and audio system upgrades, Motron specializes in finding solutions for vehicles where the factory-installed infotainment Read more
Although the Porsche tagline “There is no Substitute” certainly fits its fleet of vehicles, there is nothing like the new Mercedes S-Class for a full-sized luxury car experience. In the large luxury sedan game, there is no substitute for the S Class. There are other great competitors from BMW and Audi, but the new S-Class takes the cake when it comes to luxury and Read more
