Motorweek Season 37 Episode 94 EV Roundup

  • June 21, 2019

Motorweek season 37 episode 94, entitled "EV Roundup," is a comprehensive review of some of the latest and most exciting electric vehicle (EV) models on the market. Host John Davis and the Motorweek team provide viewers with in-depth analyses of three different EV models, highlighting their unique features, performance capabilities, and potential areas for improvement.

The first car that Davis and his team review is the 2021 Hyundai Kona Electric. This compact SUV boasts an EPA-estimated range of up to 258 miles on a single charge, making it one of the most practical EV options on the market for everyday use. The Motorweek team praises the Kona Electric's responsive handling, peppy acceleration, and intuitive driver assist features. They also note some minor drawbacks, such as a slightly cramped interior and limited cargo space, but overall recommend the Kona Electric to anyone in the market for an efficient, versatile EV.

Next up is the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, a highly anticipated all-electric SUV from one of the most iconic American car brands. The Motorweek team is impressed with the Mach-E's sleek design, spacious cabin, and advanced tech features, such as the 15.5-inch touchscreen display and Ford's Co-Pilot360 driver assist system. They also appreciate the Mach-E's impressive acceleration and sporty handling, comparing it favorably to its gas-powered Mustang brethren. However, they note that the Mach-E's range falls short of some of its competitors, with an EPA-estimated maximum of 300 miles for the premium model.

Finally, the Motorweek team takes a look at the 2021 Tesla Model Y, a compact SUV from the EV pioneer that has taken the market by storm. Like the Mustang Mach-E, the Model Y boasts impressive acceleration and handling, as well as a spacious interior with plenty of high-tech features. The Model Y also has the longest EPA-estimated range of the three vehicles reviewed, with up to 326 miles on a single charge. However, the Motorweek team notes some issues with quality control and build quality on the Model Y, as well as a lack of physical knobs and buttons on the dashboard, which can make some tasks harder to perform while driving.

Overall, "EV Roundup" offers a balanced and informative look at three of the hottest electric vehicles on the market today. Whether viewers are longtime EV enthusiasts or just curious about the latest trends in automotive technology, they'll find plenty to appreciate in Motorweek's expert analyses.
