Mercedes-Benz EQS450+ First Test

Hình ảnh
   We  already tested the EQS580 , but this is our first go in the 450+. The test results were predictable. Down 187 hp and a driven axle to the EQS580, the 450+ takes 1.7 seconds longer to reach 60 mph. That's quite a disparity, given how the 450+ is nearly 300 pounds lighter, but remember: The less powerful EQS still weighs more than 5,500 pounds. Around town, there is plenty of pep for shoehorning the large EQS into gaps in traffic, but acceleration tapers off noticeably above freeway speeds. As for range, the EPA says a 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS450+ can do 350 miles on a single full charge (just 10 more than an EQS580). We put more than 200 miles on our test car during a week of parking it outside overnight in cold weather without charging, after starting with an almost-full battery pack (with about 300-some miles of range showing) and never once worried we'd run out of juice. Each night the battery would lose some range (again, we didn't plug it in). At the end of the w...

Kia Sportage 1.6 T-GDi

  Plus ça change in the car industry. We're going through huge upheaval, with widespread electrification, yet some things aren't so different after all. Whereas a new-car buyer in 1985 might have had to make the agonising choice between a 2.0-litre, a 2.3-litre or a 2.8-litre V6, today's buyer somehow needs to navigate whether they need a mild, full or plug-in hybrid and why more might not always be better. Perhaps battery sizes aren't as tangible as cylinder displacements, but they arguably make an even bigger difference to the driving experience and how you use the car. We've previously driven the pure petrol and full hybrid versions of the new  Kia Sportage ; now it’s the turn of the plug-in hybrid. The drivetrain shared by  Hyundai  and  Kia  is a fairly familiar recipe by now: it also features in the  Kia Sorento ,  Hyundai Tucson  and  Hyundai Santa Fe . A 1.6-litre petrol engine an...

Volkswagen T-Roc 2.0 TSI 4Motion

Hình ảnh
  Sales of the first-generation   Volkswagen T-Roc   have exceeded expectations in many markets, including the UK. So it comes as no surprise that the changes made halfway through its planned eight-year life cycle are rather subtle. With over one million deliveries worldwide  since its launch in 2017 , including more than 650,000 alone in European markets,  Volkswagen  clearly sees no need to radically alter what has, up to now, proven a very popular car. There are tweaks here and there, but there is nothing that fundamentally alters the appearance, performance or driving character of the high-riding five-door crossover-style hatchback and the more recently introduced two-door  Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet  sibling in any great way. A new-look front end is the key exterior design change. It includes lightly reworked LED headlamps (optional with IQ Light matrix projectors with adaptive functionality), a revised grille with a more heavily structured b...
