Heat can kill the fuel economy in your Prius, but it can also help it. Here are 3 tips from the hybrid guy to help you get the maximum fuel economy from your Toyota Prius.

Toyota, like any car maker, is subject to the whims of the market as much as any other manufacturer. While Toyota’s president Aiko Toyoda seems to be pushing more for his pet project, Gazoo Racing to guide the company forward, the bZ4X has been revealed as a concept. Not a prototype, like the Cybertruck, or F-150 Lightning. Is it too little, too late?

The Audi E-Tron GT, new in 2021, is a stunning EV. While related to the Porsche Taycan, the E-Tron GT also features Audi’s fabled Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Audi has made the E-Tron GT with the driver in mind and it shows. My friend has been driving Ford Mustangs for the last 20 years, but he’s considering swapping to an EV thanks to the E-Tron GT, and here’s why:

Toyota, as a brand built a reputation of reliability in the 80s and 90s. The 2000s seemed a little rocky for them, with vehicles like the Solara and Venza not being the star performers that companies hope for. Regardless of their foibles, the Japanese automaker has managed to regain a lot of that reliability cred. The RAV4 is one of Toyota’s most popular choices and hopefully a BEV version will be on the way soon.

Tesla recently had its Model S Plaid event last night. The car is one of the safest, fastest, most entertaining, most robust, and most "alien" of any production car ever made. The Tesla Model S Plaid - "It's Alien Technology" - Elon Musk.

With its classic Jeep architecture and design, the Wrangler 4xe is easily the most off-road capable electric vehicle currently available. This hasn’t stopped vehicles like the Tesla Model S or Volkswagen ID.4 from having fun in the dirt, but GM has decided to weigh in on off-roading with the up-coming HUMMER EV. Can it out-off-road a Jeep?

The Mustang Mach E, Ford’s first commercially available Battery Electric Vehicle, has been a smashing success and a great kick-off for the company’s future of electrification. It’s expected that the Cadillac Lyriq will be out later this year to amaze us with the luxury brand’s first BEV. It’s not just the American manufacturers rolling out EV SUVs either. On June 2nd, Toyota announced the BZ4x, and before that, Subaru promised us the Solterra.

Reviewing the 2021 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD Premier package, I learned that no full-size SUV competitor offers a diesel engine. As Chevrolet puts it, the Duramax diesel engine "is expected to give the new SUVs some of the highest fuel economy ratings in the segment."

The Rimac Nevera is a dream car. It’s a limited run battery-powered hyper-car from Croatia. It ran against a Ferrari SF90 Stradale and left the Italian vehicle in the dust. Seriously, this new vehicle is an absolutely amazing machine to watch. The Tesla Model S Plaid is stunning as well, with 7 seats and similar stats to the Croatian hyper-car, but the Nevera is just jaw-dropping.

Tesla’s entrance into the Indian market is picking up speed. Tesla is looking to hire new executives, and it is also trying to build its headquarters.

With the Rimac Nevera destroying the first hybrid Ferrari in a straight-line battle, and BMW showing us the i4 eDrive40 and I4 m50, there’s been a lot to talk about on the electric vehicle front. As the Electric revolution picks up pace, it feels like we’re nearing a tipping point at which electric vehicles will take over as the main means of transportation.

We have a teaser video of the Tesla Model S/X steering wheel, a yoke steering wheel. What was once concept art is now being seen for real. Let’s dive a little deeper and see what people have to say about it.

The Ford Mustang Mach E is no slouch on the track. Even its non GT version puts most SUVs to shame with a blistering 5.1-second 0-60 and its GT Performance Edition tears down the track with an even more impressive 3.5 second sprint from stop to 60 miles per hour. With such speeds, how does it compare to its competition like the Polestar 2, XC40 Recharge, muscle cars, like my Challenger, or even the Jeep Wrangler 4xe?

When I think of SUVs, I think of vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler, Ford Bronco, or Mercedes G-wagon. I typically don’t give much thought to Volvo, but I really should. Volvo’s XC40 Recharge is not just a handsome SUV, it’s got plenty of features that make it one of the safest SUVs on the market, and it’s faster than the Volkswagen ID.4.
