As we approach a new future of automotive electrification, manufactures continue to have a bridge over an electric vehicle (EV) world in innovative plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). Volvo has been in the PHEV game for some time now, and the latest XC90 midsized three-row seating crossover continues with some minor updates from trim level revamping, additional power, and a slightly increased all-electric range.

Having experienced the 2021 Volvo XC90 Recharge just a couple of years ago it is refreshing to get another go at such a vehicle and see what the manufacturer has done to keep it fresh. With that, Volvo impresses me again with a decently performing vehicle for its versatility in being a plug-in hybrid along with the premium accommodations in a unique approach with the choice of its wool blend seat material found on my test vehicle.

In the world of trucks, there’s quite a battle in the area of rugged pickups that attempt to balance a delicate act of offering luxurious interior appointments and off-road capabilities. In such a delicate act, automakers have gone the extra distance to pay special attention to unique trim levels within their lineup to give consumers what they want, and now it seems they can have it in trucks like the new GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X.

The GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X is a new trim that was introduced for the 2022 model year, which now gets the availability of an AT4X AEV Edition (American Expedition Vehicles) that further enhances the off-roading capabilities of such a truck with specialized equipment. Having the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X this week, while it doesn’t have the AEV Edition equipment, is a welcoming experience in witnessing what GM has to offer for their off-roading 4×4

There is an exhilarating cohort of electric performance vehicles occupying today’s roads, whether the Audi e-Tron GT and Porsche Taycan GTS or Lucid Air and Mercedes-AMG EQS. Although each offers conscious EV owners unique and outstanding technological experiences behind the wheel, this group also falls in the upper echelon of ownership costs. Well, Kia — with 30 years of experience in the United States — has just given us a potent alternative for far less than $100,000 that sets asphalt ablaze with the fierceness and force of quiet storms. Welcome to the evolutionary world of the all-electric, high-velocity 2023 Kia EV6 GT.

EV6 GT Overview and Positioning

The authenticity of the limited production 2023 Kia EV6 GT’s superlative DNA stems from the birthright of the original EV6 all-electric, 5-passenger sport crossover which lit up the “zero emissions” market with silent gallops. This is Kia’s

A vehicle purchase is a big financial decision. It is one of the major expenses households have to shoulder. Given just how much money is spent on buying a vehicle, it’s important to get it right.

You certainly do not want to buy a vehicle that turns out unsuitable for your needs. Similarly, you want to finance your vehicle purchase in the most optimal way. This article discusses the most important factors to consider when buying a car.

Ask why you want/need a car

People purchase vehicles for various reasons, ranging from luxury to commercial purposes. Obviously, no one vehicle is suitable for all needs. It is, therefore, essential to ask why you require a car.

The answer to this question will determine, to a large extent, the appropriate vehicle for you. For instance, a pick-up truck might be ideal for you if you do a lot of heavy

The metrics of 0 to 60 mph or a quarter mile time is just one page taken out of the thick book of automotive performance and there’s a much bigger picture to being the champion of this one measurement. However, when it comes to bragging rights, Tesla made headlines and justifiable bragging rights for owners of the new Tesla Model S Plaid (1,020 horsepower) as it demolished everything with a 0-60 mph time of about 2 seconds and shattering the quarter mile in 9.4 seconds (give or take).

In the horsepower and “quickness” wars of electric vehicles (EVs), there’s a new battle upon us that we’ve never seen before. One that takes advantage of that instant torque from electric motors and sending a family sedan down a drag strip (or your local street) that almost defies the laws of physics, at least for a “car.”

It was an insightful media trip to Franklin, TN to visit with product planners, communications professionals, and Mitsubishi Motors engineers for a deeper understanding of the newly released 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The sporty and family SUV PHEV, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, has a combined driving range of 420 miles. If you decide to cruise around town in EV mode only, the battery affords the Outlander 38 all-electric miles. The Japanese seven-seat, three-row SUV is a winner for consumers looking for a crossover utility blessed with talent, sporty styling, rugged capabilities, and extended range.

From the time the reimagined gasoline model hit the scene last year, the company’s 330 dealer partners across the United States have been engaged and selling Outlanders like holiday cupcakes. We are not sure why Mitsubishi took so long to reinvigorate the product, but they are no longer a

Anyone that has an interest in cars and an entrepreneurial spirit may wonder how they can combine the two. There are lots of good options, including starting your own car rental business. Car rentals are always in demand whether this is people that are on holiday and in need of a car, someone that is currently without a car, or someone looking for a vehicle for a special occasion/specific purpose. So, how can you go about setting up a car rental business?

Market Research

Much like any new business, the first place to start is with market research. You want to become an expert in the car rental industry learning as much as you can about the industry, future predictions, and current challenges. You also want to learn as much as you can about other car rental businesses in the area and who your target market is. Once

The Hyundai Tucson has proven to be a worthy contender within the mainstream compact crossover segment as its respectable sales figures will reiterate. Having experienced many of the trim levels of the new Tucson from its recent full redesign for the 2022 model year, I fully understand why you see so many on the road.

The new 2022 Hyundai Tucson is a decent vehicle out on the road with a comfy ride that’s easy to navigate. The one downfall remains to be its powertrain’s power output being a little sluggish from the onset. However, once things get moving and you become adapted to how the Tucson performs without having high expectations, things are rather agreeable for most and the purpose such a vehicle serves.
