Welcome to CatoCarGuy.com. I'm Jeremy Cato -- that's a Cato as in "Kay-tow" not Cato as in "Cat-oh." I am an awarding-winning auto journalist. I have been testing and reviewing just about every kind of car, truck and SUV ever produced for more than three decades. I can help you narrow down your next vehicle purchase -- whether it's a car, truck or SUV. I can help you avoid unreliable or just plan lousy vehicles. I can help you purchase your next vehicle. I can also help you sort out the latest trends in the auto industry -- from the shift to hybrids, plug-in hybrids and ultimate electrification of the automobile which also includes hydrogen fuel cell cars.

Free Wheeling Bronco? Really?
zhlédnutí 41Před 21 dnem
Ford's Bronco Sport Free Wheeling Edition is pretty darn capable off-roading, but as an urban small SUV it's not ideal. A weird marking concept. Cross-shop with the Mazda CX5, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, Hyundai Tucson and others.

WHAT A CABIN! -- the 2025 Mazda CX 90 GT
zhlédnutí 3,2KPřed 2 měsíci
Mazda's CX-90, a 3-row SUV, has perhaps the most well-done cabin in its segment. It is a segment with rivals such as The Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, Volkswagen Atlas and the Honda Pilot. The mild hybrid tested here is not a fully electrified rig, however, fuel economy is still reasonably good. If saving on gas is a high, high priority, then Toyota's Highlander Hybrid is ...

2024 Hyundai Tucson N-Line Hybrid
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 8 měsíci
The 2024 Hyundai Tucson N-Line Hybrid is fast, fun, fuel-efficient, roomy, entertaining to drive (sort of) and will cut your CO2 emissions in half compared to a traditional gasoline-powered Tucson. It is safe, reliable and has a modern design. Not everyone will approve of the looks, but as family vehicles go, it's novel, at the very least. You have plenty of options in this segment of the marke...
2024 Volvo S60 B5 AWD Ultimate
zhlédnutí 2,4KPřed 8 měsíci
A "mild" hybrid? Sounds like spin to me. Nonetheless, the Volvo S60 B5 has a modest electrified element to its powertrain. It smooths out the start-stop functionality, a tiny bit of power and saves a teeny weeny bit of fuel. Volvo is aiming at the BMW 3-Series, the Audi A3, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Genesis G70. A lovely driving car, one to take on a long, lonesome road trip. Storage, h...

We test drive the Genesis GV70 EV while taking in the sights and sounds of British Columbia's West Coast along the Sea-to-Sky Highway. This EV luxury crossover is fast.

I have one with 20" wheels, 0-100 is 4,8-5.3s on ours (meassured), range are 330km in summer with 40km spare when reached 0 range left on dial. It is easy the best car I had and I had several 80.000$ cars.
why does everybody call these things M K ZED?
This is the 2024 model. Please change your title Jeremy! Thanks!
There’s no 2025 model yet
The “ cloth” is supposed to be suede but they don’t look it. Another review showed a 2nd row under seat storage. I can’t find anything about it🤷🏾 The hp & torque are good for a small suv, but acceleration number don’t seem accurate at 8 seconds! That shames the N line name, it must be incorrect the PWR is good in the same ballpark as cx5 turbo on regular gas
Well done and nice to see a balanced view on the RZ.
Thanks
Don't waste time and money on BRT or LRT, begin planning for North Shore-Metrotown SkyTrain
Poor range and regen breaking, close but not there yet.
Is this in all reality a clone of both its Toyota and Subaru 'cousins'? In other words, a gold plated version of both? I think so!
Great review and contextual background! Professionally delivered. I just followed.
Thanks. Great to get this feedback.
Lets see if the 2024 can rack up as many recalls as the Maverick - not to mention the lack of inventory and huge dealer mark ups
It’s just a shame they don’t make a big one anymore and I don’t like the suv version
Looking at a used 2022 ct4 I can pick one up for around 23 to 25 grand
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video
Wow, a Toyota shill and still can't make this turd look good. $85k for that POS. But I bet Toyota Fanboys will buy it. The Kia EV9 craps all over this turd in every way. Toyota builds terrible EV's so they can show that nobody wants them. No, Toyota, nobody wants your crappy EV's. Hope they paid you well for this video. They did not even let you drive it or shoe ANYTHING that actually works. Just B Roll provided by Toyota. What a worthless channel.
A car made NOT to be sold. LOL. Toyota aren't trying. It's perfect!!!! 🤣🤣
Test drive one. Nice Lexus quality, but not good ev engineering… poor range, poor regen braking, a tad on the small side for me.
220 miles per full charge? This has to be a concept from Toyota.
I've been looking at cars in this category for my wife and I wouldn't say the A3 is comparable to the S60 as its much smaller the A4/A5 are a lot closer in size/comfort levels. We have our search narrowed down to the S60, Genesis G70 and Audi A5 sportback. My wife really likes the S60 as do I. We both like the simple elegance of the Volvo but I wish the 318hp T6 engine was still available and quite honestly this 'mild hybrid' thing Volvo has going on just seems like a waste of time and money and just something else to have trouble with down the road. Its one of those gimicky things like auto shut off that save close to zero fuel and needlessly complicate the vehicle and create something you know will be expensive to fix if you keep your vehicles more than 4 or 5 years.

What an ugly exterior... I thought the Ioniq 6 was bad until this one evolved.
Not sure I would go that far re: "ugly." Seems pretty derivative to me.
Thanks for the positive feedback.
An excellent video. I have recently purchased a Volvo C40 plus and am very pleased with it. You don't have to cancel the stupid lane changing warning each time you set off, the settings stay the same from when the car was previously used. I don't like S.U.VS and I will be able to wash the roof without standing on anything.
8:10 tell me you own the road without telling me you own the road 🙄
Love your review. Sat in a Tesla Highland and wow is it tight. Priced out a lease on an S60 recharge and was quoted $1,000 US dollars per month. Will never commit to that high a payment. Thinking about buying a late model S60 T6. Do you know what the MPG’s are on the car you tested? Thanks!
thi one has warranty of the japanese.......kkkkkkkkk...........not the bad thing cibertruck,,,,tesla,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,keiti umeki,,,,living in japan,,,,have videos here,,,,
We love our 2012, looking for a 2020 hybrid now, love the tri color white and Iced mocha colors.
Such a simple and solid review. Subscribed to you right away. 👍 Try to do some fuel efficiency test videos too by designing your own test path and conditions. That will be helpful for many who are curious about the fuel consumption.
Just to help you out. The Tucson Hybrid NLine in the USA also has a Snow driving mode for snow! and icy conditions that allow the wheels not to slip as much. Plus it does play a song when in gear, Drive Reverse and even Neutral. Transmission shift delay could bother some people but easy to get used to. Biggest issue "I" have is it is noisy. Not from the engine though it is a 4 cylinder engine and that does make minor noise, but from the outside noise. On the road you will hear every car and wind noise. Car has a TON of room in the cabin. Interior seems to be made well. Granted I have only had the car for a month but I do like driving it and with all the issues these past couple weeks with EV car batteries and very cold weather, going Hybrid is not immune but you do have the gas engine side to take care of that and warm the electric batteries quickly. Lastly gas mileage is very variable. I started out getting 31 mpg with normal driving. So that 38 mpg is a pipe dream and I do at least hope the mpg settles in at 30-32 after 2000 miles. You will like this car. Mine was just under 37k before trade in and taxes. Forced accessories from the factory pushed it up to that. Just wish it came in something other then white, black or grey
My 2024 N Line is one of the quietest vehicles I've owned even at freeway speeds. Have your door and window gaskets checked for proper sealing. The panoramic roof gasket on my Bolt EUV came loose and made quite the racket inside while driving at freeway speeds. Fortunately this thick gasket didn't separate from the car and I was able to reset it in the glide track.
The red rocks
Akio toyoda lately acted like a Elon Musk and like to be on the front page news. Exaggerated a lot about hydrogen and ssd battery.
Massive depreciation or higher priced lease rates? Take your pick. Poor choice whatever you decide.
Great review, and I've watched a lot of them on this vehicle and the CR-V Hybrid. Yours is the only one which showed the Tucson in motion to highlight the lack of noise it makes at low speeds. Thanks!
Thanks for the positive feedback. I try...
Glad to see Richard is still teaching driving , I knew him back in the Shannonville Motorsport Park Spenard -David Racing School days , a very classy guy .
An insane price that shows Nissan has no battery factory capacity to build this car in quantity, so they are intentionally spiking sales by pricing so far above Tesla, that it won't make top 50 much less top 10 EV sales. A very well designed car, at an appropriate price this car would sell very well. Needs to be closer to 40k.
cybertank,,,,,very good,,,,made in japan....not from tesla,,,kkkkkk keiti umeki japan
What's up with liters and km?
I am based in Canada. So metric.
e-shifter, e-parking brake and "hybrid" are all downgrades, so it the elimination of physical buttons in favor of a giant screen. Planned obsolescence is the name of the game here. Most truck owners prefer simplicity and reliability over more electronic gizmos with inflated prices that go along with them.

Hi im buying a 2018 touring with 9 k miles do you recommend it also anything that I need to know as today when buying the car through CarMax I’m getting the max care warranty 150k or 60 months a little piece of mind
Certainly you should get any warranty offered. This is old technology.
do you recumbent a Crv better than the clarity same price @@CatoCarGuy
2019 Crv Touring 21k miles vs 2018 clarity 9k miles I??? value on the Crv are close to the sale price compare to the clarity
@@tonny1924 If I am spending my money, I'm buying the CR-V.
Won’t watch this channel again after hearing the comments about Elon Musk.
The problems I find with the 2023 Honda Accord: 1. No All Wheel Drive is available 2. No heated steering Wheel is available 3. No spare tire is available 4. No heated seats are available. If a 2023or 2024 car missing all of these features is fine for you, then get one.
Don't waste ur time The Toyota Tacoma is a much nicer truck, alot better reliability The 2024 is only 2inches wider, 2 inches longer.woo hoo..wow Save ur money, or alot better trucks out there, if all else buy you're self the f150 for a real truck!
I don’t like the new front end on the 24 Ranger. It looks like the Maverick too much.
Also increased the size too much. It isn’t even a mid size truck anymore.
This comparison video is confusing. It is hard to tell how much of Cato choosing the Lexus is due to his dislike of Musk. He calls Musk "increasingly unhinged" and implies that we should somehow factor Musk into our car buying choice. I just did a comparison between these two cars and decided to purchase the Tesla Y; it was cheaper, had a better range, and more charging stations. (Cato cited these Tesla advantages but chose the Lexus anyway.) I understand that Musk is falling out of favor with the woke but think it's silly to pay attention to that vibe when choosing a car. Cato can and should do a better job of leaving his irrelevant biases out of his videos.
Glad to see some Canadian reviews of this car. I am looking forward to the 2024 model.
Excellent review. Good job explains the Hybrid set-up. Honda's new 2 or 3 motor set up is very good. Look for it in the Civic and HRV soon
If you want a more roomy pickup truck, get a F150. It’s that simple. The full time 4wd mode on the road is the deal maker for me. New digital cluster is not the best, although there is a better cluster for higher end models and maybe as a paid option on Wildtrak. Otherwise it a great small/mid size truck with a 127” wheelbase and 5ft bed. Want more? Again, get the F150 or Jeep or whatever you prefer and to match your priorities. The Ranger is ideal for me and is certainly the most advanced truck in its class outside the USA.
Promo-SM 🤤
New Ranger is already in the Philippines, only option are 2.0 turbo diesel and 2.0 bi turbo. 10 spd with the biturbo 6 spd with the turbo. Trying to stay away from the 10spd
The grey would be my next pick of color after the lighting blue
Hi Jeremy. Thanks for a 2023 Accord Hybrid review that focused on the car's Electric powertrain as it is, as you so astutely stated, the most important part of the appeal for this car. Not alot of reviews do. I loved all the detailed motor info you shared & how you presented it. Thats what I needed for this car....Well done! & thanks so much❤
Wow. I appreciate the feedback.
