Volvo spinoff Polestar sure has its newest product making the rounds these days. Last month, Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire got a chance to drive a Polestar 2 around Malibu —where he was passed by another tester doing the very same thing in an identical car. Now, the Polestar 2 has made its way northward to Canada, where the YouTube channel Throttle House has pitted it in a compare-and-contrast against its main competitor, the established Tesla Model 3. Farah came away from his Polestar test drive incredibly impressed, thinking the car was a significant improvement over the Model 3, but he's only one data point. Now, we've got a pair of testers putting the two (relatively) affordable EVs head to h

After many years of fans wondering if and when the mighty Hummer might return, tonight is the night. The brand is evolving from a gas-guzzling vehicle of excess to one of opulent but environmentally conscious off-road ruggedness. When General Motors said that they were bringing the Hummer back , many doubted that they could truly pull off a unique and capable off-roader but that's precisely what they've accomplis

But getting to the production model definitely took some time. With core concepts in mind, Jenkins said, "We really focused, from that point, building this brand around those attributes, building a core DNA to the brand. And then that, of course, leads to actually designing the car and building an aesthet

With stock specially built 35-inch tires, the Hummer comes with the shoes most fans would've been eager to install had they not sold it as such. In fact, upgrading to 37-inch tires is no big hurdle with the Hummer. Plus, with the Infinity modular roof system, this will be a truly memorable vehicle to occupy. Clearly, GMC and the new Hummer EV game money Guide|https://Evinsightzone.com/ is ready to go where no Hummer has gone bef

Elsewhere, the rest of the cabin is similarly bespoke, with only a handful of items lifted from Volvo cars - Polestar's parent company. In Addition, the raised nature of the car gives the driver a greater elevated view of the road ahead, with simple, clean dashboard displays - showing you range and speed. Its a rival interior that very much holds its own up against Tesla's uniquely snug cabin experie

At the time, Mazda was in the early stages of reworking its platforms, drivetrain tech, and overall aesthetic—Jenkins had a hand in it all, contributing to the CX-3, CX-5, CX-9, MX-5 Miata, Mazda3, and Mazda6. But all the while, he had his eye on the rising tide of electrificat

"I’ve also got a [VW] GTI that’s my daily driver when I’m at work. It’s just fun and sporty. It’s a very holistic, democratic design that’s both sporty and doesn’t say anything pretentious. It’s just co

The more 'expensive' Model 3's are the Mid Range and the Long Range RWD, coming in at $31 and $34,950, falling in the middle/lower end of the pack in terms of pricing. Despite being around $4,000 more expensive than the Standard trim option, these models are still fairly priced for the advanced technologies and drive quality provi

The giant size of the Hummer provides ample space for batteries and with 350 miles available of range per charge, it should be capable of taking most owners anywhere they might want to go. When hooked up to a quick charger, the EV truck can charge to 100 miles of range in just ten minutes. That's clearly enough for the average consumer who travels far less than that each

Just to get the hypercar performance numbers out of the way, Lucid claims the top-spec Air will have over 1,000 horsepower, all-wheel drive, a minuscule 0.21 coefficient of drag, and that it can achieve a top speed of over 200 miles per hour in production form. All with an estimated industry-best range of 517 mi

About Porsche's new EV, the Taycan , Jenkins won't say a bad word: "I like the car, I wouldn’t criticize it. I like modern Porsche design, as well. I could never vote against those guys, they know what they’re doi

The Tesla Model 3, meanwhile, can be had with a single motor and rear-wheel-drive only, but for comparison's sake, the Performance AWD Model 3 starts at $54,990 with an EPA range of 322 miles and a WLTP range of 329. The Model Y costs a few thousand bucks more and features similar stats. But how do the two sedans comp

Finally, the Crabwalk feature we previewed earlier today demonstrates GMC's understanding that sometimes the only way out is sideways with rear-wheel steering. This truck isn't just about off-roading though, as it should be a capable daily driver to and from the office as w

Tesla's primary USP is the insane, raw performance of their flagships. In terms of acceleration, few cars, let alone electric, can compete with some of its market leaders. But, as Top Gear points out , these "YouTube friendly 0-60 times" don't always reflect the car's overall package. The Polestar meanwhile, gives you everything you could possibly want from a saloon/SUV crossover. It's not exactly slow, even if it clocks in at a frankly excessive weight of 2.1 tonnes. but more than that, its spacious and comfortable to drive, thanks to the smooth handling and limited driver modifications required. This isn't one for the purist, but in terms of wider appeal, it ticks all boxes with flying col
