So the nav system layout…does that work in the regular X5 as well, because I have the 2024 X5 and don’t see what you have on the screen

Where is the regular X5 not the M

If only the ground clearance is higher. Town and city driving are hassles.

Still no awd, no bueno

I like the looks inside and out, very sharp in red. This is much more attractive than the bulbous model Y in my view. Lack of CarPlay is puzzling as is subscription On Star, out of touch with the market.

They should make the Prius exclusively a plug-in hybrid.

I would buy one right now if they kept the V8, but as such I will wait at least 2 years to see how the twin turbo V6 fairs, in light of the fiasco Toyota/Lexus is going through with their twin turbo V6.

"They don't interfere with your visibility".. Are you nuts??.. Wow.. I am a big fan of your reviews.. But I think you are COMPLETELY wrong about those safety monitoring devices (cameras) "don't interfere with your visibility"??? Look at 9:39.. That whole area and the junk at the top middle of the windshield dramatically cuts down on driver and passenger's own visibility and the ability to look out of the upper part of windshield.. Especially if you are a over about 5' 9".. They need to go back to the drawing board and find another place to put those safety monitoring devices and cameras.. Put that stuff somewhere where it doesn't hurt ANY outward visibility thru the windshield.. When a driver can't see out of the windshield using his/her own vision.. that is a Major safety concern. Most put put those safety monitoring devices at the top middle part of the windshield, but this Subaru Forester seems to be the worse when it comes to blocking a driver's/passenger's own vision.

Seems like you're becoming a shell for Toyota. I've seen this car in person and there's no way that has reasonable rear seat room for any human. Very disappointed in your description obviously you don't want to say what's really happening back there. I have loved Toyota and owned many Lexus' but this truck is very disappointing in many ways. Now I understand they're having issues with the three-point four and the hybrid motor with massive recalls looks like over 100,000 vehicles and the first two years of production. Report on that as well!

Who needs back seat screens when every kid has an ipad? Waste of upgrade money.

14:05 Can of tomatoes rolling around in the driveway! 🤣 THAT'S ME!

Ok when I was working for Google I was looking at these and that was in 2020 and the reason I didn’t pull the trigger was the fact other then knowing that KIA is part of Hyundai and Hyundai has had issues with there engines and my roommate had a upper end model that had the engine go very bad on her . Anyway I have heard some things about KIA and most of it wasn’t bad but none of it was great . Now the car I purchased was a 2023 Honda Civic type R and I don’t regret it but I’m still curious about this KIA and because I paid for my Civic in full when I purchased it I could maybe put down 60% on this Stinger and make payments because it would be great to get a credit history , everything I have I just buy and I don’t make payments . Back to the car , I like the looks and the stats are great but I’ll need to get more info on this engine that is used in this car , now every Honda I’ve ever purchased I knew the engine and history of other Honda owners history with there cars but I’m in the dark with this V6 and the turbo’s used on that engine , I’m starting to research this Stinger model and all the factory recalls and potential issues to look for . I’ve decided against BMW, Mercedes, Nissan and a few others and I’d like something different then another Honda or Acura . I’m going to go test drive a new Subaru WRX tomorrow and a friend has one and he loves it but just riding in his car it felt as if you sit high in it and the engine was kinda mechanically clunky , maybe not the best explanation but you kinda get it . I really like the looks and performance that is claimed but I’m kinda spooked about it being a KIA

Who asked for this?! Nobody!

In Wisconsin the biggest threat is losing your furnace blower and having all your pipes explode. I would love a truck like this!

Now all they need to do is change the hideously uncomfortable seats and we’re good 👍🏼

It looks too big and heavy for a turbo 4. Not sure I could trust reliability.

Jeep? No thank you. 😅

Question: what software were you using for the data logging? I'm using CarScanner Pro, but it does not yet have a profile for my Rav4 Prime, so I have been using the Prius Prime and BZ4X profiles, but neither one includes the MG1, MG2, and MGR Stator temps. And I have not been able to find a post on the Internet with the complete PID's for the Rav4 Prime, so I haven't been able to program custom CarScanner gauges for them. I am looking into getting an Aliner, but don't want to risk towing a trailer until I can get a solid solution for reading critical drivetrain temperatures from the OBD-II port. Great video, though! If your Rav4 Hybrid can tow a 2,000 pound box trailer, my Prime, with it's 180 hp MG2 motor, should be able to tow an Aliner at 55 without worry about overheating.

What's the point of getting the extended range if only recommend to charge to 80%?! Also if the batter is going to degrade over time it'll eventually get to 80% anyway right? So why not just charge it fully and take advantage of the full range for years until it finally degrades that much. Maybe I'm missing something here?

The no Apple car play and subscription for Google sucks a really . Too bad it’s nice ev .

I’m sure it will be fun drive the ev verison will have low low sales . 1% really wanting this I guess will like it if they don’t like Teslas etc

If they don’t add torque or hp not really worth the name of trackhawk . Idc if ev but they will need boost the performance and just not appearance package with tow hooks. There is more than one engine option for this S so I’m guessing you can hybrid version in the future

I have a 2023 RAV4 Prime; the tow rating is 2,500 pounds. I want to caution anyone considering a Rav4 Hybrid/Prime or a Highlander Hybrid for towing, about an issue regarding temperature. These cars do not have temperature gauges on the dashboard, so the first indication yo might get, that the engine or transmission is overheating, will be a check engine warning light, and by the time that light comes on, you may have already overstressed the drivetrain. If you are going to tow with any Toyota Hybrid, I strongly recommend that you buy an OBD-II BlueTooth scan tool, and run a diagnostic app like CarScanner or TorquePro on your phone, to monitor engine and transmission temperatures in real time while you are towing. Set up your app to display the following data: 1) Engine coolant temp. 2) Engine Oil Temp. (should be about the same as the coolant temp at freeway speeds) In a Rav4 Hybrid or Prime, both of these temps will be about 194~196 °F at freeway speed, on flat terrain, not towing a trailer. While climbing steep freeway grades (6~7 percent), the coolant temp will rapidly climb to 204~206°F, but should not exceed 208°F. If it does, slow down or pull over and let the cooling system shed excess heat. 3) Transmission Oil Temperature. At freeway speed, I've seen this get as high as 175°F, on flat terrain, not towing a trailer. 4) MG2 Stator Temperature. This is the most critical component in the power train, and the one most sensitive to overload heating when towing a trailer. Normally, the MG2 Stator temperature should not get more than a few degrees higher than the Transmission Oil Temp, since the MG1 and MG2 stators are both cooled by a spray of transmission oil. But if you are towing with a Rav4 Prime, in EV Mode, and climbing a steep hill, it's quite possible for the MG2 Stator to draw up to 135 kilowatts (180 horsepower), and if this condition persists for more than about 10 seconds continuously, the current flow can approach 270 amps, and this will be heating the stator coils faster than the oil spray can cool them, possibly leading to a burned out stator and a $5,000 replacement bill. at normal freeway speed in EV mode, not towing, power to the MG2 motor is about 30 kilowatts, current is about 60 amps, so you can see that uphill, towing a trailer, can easily put a lot of thermal stress on the MG2 stator, and without an OBD-II app to monitor critical temperatures in drivetrain components, you won't have any clue. Bottom line, for the Rav4 Prime, I would not tow a trailer in EV mode at any speed over 35 mph, and only then on flat terrain. If you are climbing hills at all, switch to HV mode and let the gas engine do the work. You don't want to risk overheating your MG2 and MGR drive motors.

Price statement is 28k. THe 28k is for the gas, the electric seems to be starting from 45 before any discounts

I’m surprised it still uses the old infotainment system. I would’ve thought they would give the ioniq the latest and greatest stuff considering that even the Kona has the new design and infotainment system.

I'm hoping for 4.8 litres per 100km in the new Civic hybrid (in town) and around 5 on the highway (at 100kph). The new styling cues front and rear are nice. I wish / hope that the cabin is quieter.

Buying one for sure

Looks pretty damn good for 72K! Appears that the legacy car makers in the US are coming back to hit hard from 2025 onwards with very palatable EV offerings. Tesla is really going to have to lift their game in the coming 18 months!

I wish he had told us the names of the cars to break ot up this sounds like a run on sentence

honestly i just want a good truck that has the stance of the colorado trailboss... with the power, but the engine of the nissan frontier and the truckness of the frontier. i want regular light switches, that are not hidden in the tablet. and i want a V6. the 2.7 turbo scares me for longevity... i tend to keep my trucks a long while. still have a 98 sls sonoma.

I always want to see golf clubs in the trunk.

One thing that attracted me to it is called a "car", not a "Sports Utility Vehicle".

I think I still like the new Prius design over this

Love it

I expect it will sell like hot cakes and then Chevrolet will abruptly cancel production for no reason.

no cooled seats on the z71 is a dealbreaker for me

Alex, can Supercruise be added as an over the air or dealer visit update, or must it be purchased originally?

Best use this thing only in your backyard or have a tow truck follow you EVERYWHERE

Really good presentation as always. This car is quite impressive with competitive pricing, great job GM.

This video didn’t age well. Fisker is dead.

Great overview and comparison, Alex. I think GM would be better off streamlining their EV product line as an excessive number of similar models contributed to their prior bankruptcy, and they're struggling to produce substantial volumes of any new EV model.

nice looking car. I have the P2 and might consider this as my next, but I've had a few issues that keep me hesitant.

Why is it screaming Kona EV stepbrother to me 😆😆

Buick just deleted the Surround Vision Recorder feature from the new Enclave. Too bad cause this really differentiated the new Enclave from the new Acadia and Traverse.

Hate those door handles that look like they're from a '60's Servel refrigerator. Showstopper!

I have been trying to find a detailed description of the ecvt in my Honda CRV Hybrid Sport and have not found one. The best description I have found is Weber Auto where he goes through the Accord Hybrid ecvt with one overdrive clutch. I don't know if my CRV is the same or not. I also don't know how to drive my CRV to maintain minimum wear on the overdrive clutch other than to minimize the amount I drive 62 mph or more assuming my CRV is only in EV mode for all speeds less than 62 where I assume the overdrive clutch in no in play (i.e. not engaged). I drive my CRV a lot between 25 mph and 45 mph and I assume I am in 181 HP EV mode which is fine and I assume the Clutch does not come into play there.

I had a 2013 Toyota Camry LE as a daily driver, and I loved it. It was great on gas, fun to drive, great on the freeway or in town driving. It's 16 inch tires are full of air and you'll notice a smother ride as compared to thin 19 or 20 inch tires which you'll feel every rut and pothole on the road and are more expensive to replace. The 16 inch tires are inexpensive to replace, and so are the light bulbs. This car is perfect for most people who go to and from work everyday, run errands, weekend trips this Camry is your little work hose. It's a nice looking care and I'd buy one if I didn't own a Toyota Tacoma right now. You can't beat it. I hear a lot of comparisons to Tesla, but the proof is in the pudding we'll see how long Tesla is around and I don't think it'll be around long.

Is it going to launch with a $20k+ manufacturer incentive? Who would pick this over other options? Jeep buyer will buy a hybrid or gas jeep, ev buyers will buy far more polished ev offerings. How will this beat a track hawk 0-60 on thos skinny tires? This car doesnt add up... Stelantis is going to go bankrupt again.

A few aspects I'm a little confused on: 1. The upcoming Cadillac Optiq is essentially a premium/luxury version of the Equinox EV. The Optiq AWD (standard) with a 85kw battery (same as the EQ), has a 300mi range, where as the Equinox EV AWD has 285mi range. 2. The Optiq has 300hp total, and the Equinox AWD is 288hp. *Is there a software lock on the Equinox (range and horsepower) to make the Optiq more "premium"?

With stealership mark up it will be unaffordable again.
