This week we discuss several topics requested by our audience, including: How does an EV's extra battery weight affect braking? Is it necessary to turn a vehicle's front wheels toward the curb when parking on a steep hill, even if it has an automatic transmission? What are the best practices for storing hybrid cars for long periods of time? We also explain how CR's used-car reliability data is gathered for each vehicle's model year.
SHOW NOTES ----------------------------------- 00:00 - Introduction 00:34 - Question #1: How does an EV’s extra battery weight affect its braking distances over ICE competitors? 05:14 - Question #2: Which vehicle segment you would revamp, given the opportunity? 10:28 - Question #3: What is the proper way to store a hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicle for long periods of time? 15:05 - Question #4: How does CR collect used-car reliability data for each model year? 16:37 - Question #5: Should a Jeep Wrangler be considered a convertible? 19:33 - Question #6: Is it necessary to turn a vehicle’s front wheels toward the curb when parking on a steep hill, even if it has an automatic transmission? 22:05 - Question #7: Is using an extremely thin engine oil, like the 0W-8 used in the new Toyota Crown, for improved gas mileage or just planned obsolescence?

Maserati’s first entry into the vibrant luxury small SUV segment is the all-new 2023 Grecale, which is meant to compete with many desirable models including the BMW X3 and Audi Q5. The 2023 Maserati Grecale GT we bought for CR's auto test program promises high-performance flair by combining potent powerplants and an air of exclusivity. We discuss whether or not the Grecale's sporty handling, modern cabin, and Italian glamour will help to distinguish it from its rivals.

The newly redesigned Chevrolet Trax is almost a foot larger than the outgoing model and offers a tempting low price tag. We purchased the 2024 Chevrolet Trax 1LT for our test program, and discuss if the small price will compel buyers to look past the dull driving experience and uninspired cabin and overcome competitors including the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Venue, Kia Seltos, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, and Nissan Kicks.

The 2023 Mercedes EQE 350 SUV is the EV complement to the GLE, competing with the Tesla Model X, BMW iX, and Cadillac Lyriq, and the SUV version of the EQE sedan also in Consumer Reports's test program. We discuss how this model, built in Tuscaloosa, Ala., compares to the ultra-luxury EQS SUV, the incredible amount of safety features available on this model, and why even the pared-down infotainment screen (compared to the MBUX Hyperscreen) might still be a deal-breaker. Confused on what mpge means, and how it compares to miles per gallon in a gas-powered car? A viewer sends us a quiz in search of answers.

Mazda is aiming upscale with the 2024 CX-90, creating an all-new three-row SUV that separates itself from mainstream models like the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Ford Explorer, with aspirations toward luxury brands such as Acura, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. The CX-90 Turbo Preferred Plus we purchased anonymously for our test program is built on a brand-new platform, and boasts Mazda’s first-ever inline six-cylinder engine mated to the brand's own eight-speed automatic transmission. But will all the new changes be enough to impress buyers within the highly competitive market? We also explain CR's testing process, from the moment we purchase a vehicle to when we publish our conclusions in our Road Test report.
SHOW NOTES ----------------------------------- 00:00 - Introduction 00:15 - 2024 Mazda CX-90 first impressions 01:19 - What is new about the CX-90 03:02 - The Mazda Buyer 04:39 - How It Drives 07:19 - The Ride 08:10 - Can Mazda pull off a 60K SUV? 10:19 - Interior Fit and Finish 12:05 - Controls 14:37 - Rear Seats 15:52 - Question 1: From the time CR purchases a vehicle for the test program how long does it take for the full review to be posted on the website? 20:50 - Question 2: Why does it seem impossible to lease an EV at MSRP and get the EV credit back as lease cash?

One of the primary questions drivers have about EVs is how long do their batteries last, and how much would a replacement cost in the future. We share our expert information on if electric car batteries are expensive to replace, as well as: where more expensive tires wear slower than cheaper alternatives; why a car in Europe might have a better warranty or more features than its US counterpart; warranty coverage for 48V mild hybrid batteries; whether standard, gas-powered vehicles lose range in cold weather like all-electric cars; and how to change the radio station preset on the 2023 Honda CR-V.
SHOW NOTES ----------------------------------- 00:00 - Introduction 00:45 - Question #1: Are EV batteries expensive to replace? 05:11 - Question #2: Why does it seem that European countries have better car warranties and features than the US? 09:14 - Question #3: How can you tell whether a tire will retain good performance over the its life? 12:40 - Question #4: What are the warranty coverages like for 48V mild hybrid batteries? 17:06 - Question #5: Is the drop in range on an EV in cold weather about the same as gas-powered vehicles? 22:10 - Question #6: Is it possible to delete a radio station preset from the favorites list on a 2023 Honda CR-V?
