CLOSED CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY * Announcer: MOTORWEEK , TELEVISION'S ORIGINAL BROUGHT TO YOU BY... FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS HAS HELPED PEOPLE TACKLE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE, MARINE, FROM OUR ORIGINAL LUCAS OIL HAS DEVELOPED OVER TO HELP BOTH PROFESSIONALS TO LEARN MORE VISIT LUCAS OIL, TIRERACK.COM IS PROUD TO SUPPORT AND NOW, A VERY BRIEF HISTORY OF FIRST, THERE WAS THE WHEEL.

THEN, THE TIRE.

"WE'LL CALL IT TIRE RACK."

FORTY YEARS LATER, ROCKAUTO HAS AUTO PARTS FROM OFFERING A VARIETY OF BRANDS, ROCKAUTO.COM, ALL THE PARTS YOUR CAR John: THE HYUNDAI IONIQ BURST AS THE BRAND'S PRIUS-FIGHTING BUT QUICKLY, A PLUG-IN AND EVEN TO SHOW HYUNDAI HAD MUCH AND THAT WAS TO EVENTUALLY SPIN ALL-ELECTRIC SUB-BRAND.

AND NOW, WE'RE DRIVING ITS THE IONIQ 5 SUV.

* AS UNIQUE AS IT APPEARS, IS CLEARLY A GLIMPSE AT THE BUILT UPON HYUNDAI/KIA'S NEW WHICH IS DESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE AS WELL AS COMPLETELY EXPLOIT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE; THE IONIQ 5 AND HOT HATCH-LIKE HANDLING MAX RANGE IS 303 MILES, 225 HORSEPOWER, SINGLE MOTOR POWERTRAIN.

ADDING A SECOND MOTOR TO ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE AND A BOOST AND 446 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE, TO 256 MILES.

IN OUR TEST ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE WE OBSERVED A REAL-WORLD OF 244 MILES WHILE IN ECO MODE AT ITS MOST AGGRESSIVE SETTING.

GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY MPGE 87-HIGHWAY, AND 98-COMBINED; OF 34 KILOWATT HOUR/100 MILES.

BUT ECO MODE DOES SEEM TO AND ONLY ADDS ANOTHER 10 MILES SO, WE PREFER THE ADDITIONAL AS IT DELIVERS A MORE BALANCED AND, YOU CAN ALWAYS TAKE WHERE APPROPRIATE TO ADD IN ADDITION TO MAXIMIZING RANGE, IS WHERE A LOT OF ADVANCES ARE THE IONIQ 5s 800 VOLT CAN GET THE 77.4 KILOWATT HOUR IN UNDER 20 MINUTES.

JUST ENOUGH TIME FOR AND IF YOU'VE SEEN ANY OF THE THEY ARE CLEARLY TOUTING YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY RECHARGEABLE BATTERY, AND POWER LOTS OF THINGS OTHER THERE ARE PLENTY OF ECO-FRIENDLY AS WELL AS NATURE-INSPIRED AND DOVE GRAY.

PLUS, WE TRULY LOVE THE LARGE IN FRONT WITHOUT A BULKY AND THERE IS A LOT OF AS DESPITE ITS SMALL STATURE, WHEELBASE THAN ANY OTHER VEHICLE AT 118.1 INCHES.

THAT'S ALMOST 4.0 INCHES MORE YET, THE IONIQ 5 IS OVER A PAIR OF 12 INCH WIDESCREENS IN A SINGLE DASH-TOP ENCLOSURE; A TOUCHSCREEN FOR INFOTAINMENT, IS THE CONFIGURABLE DIGITAL IT IS DEFINITELY UNIQUE LOOKING AND WE'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT PIXEL-INSPIRED WHEELS.

THE SLEEK FACE FEATURES LIGHTING ELEMENTS.

WHILE, BODYSIDES DISPLAY AN POINTING FROM THE BASE OF THE FLUSH DOOR HANDLES, AND AN EXPRESSIVE REAR, ALL PROVIDE A VERY AND THERE'S ROOM FOR BEHIND THE REAR SEATS, SO, WE LOADED UP OUR TEST GEAR, FOR A FULL SLATE OF TESTING ...WHERE IT LAUNCHED TIRES CHIRP BRIEFLY, BUT THERE'S SERIOUS POWER DOWN AND HIT BUT, LIKE SOME OTHER EVs AFTER THAT INITIAL EXHILARATING POWER SEEMS TO TAPER OFF AS YOU A 13.4 SECOND QUARTER-MILE TIME BUT WE WERE TRAVELLING AT JUST WHEN WE TRIPPED THE LIGHTS.

TOP SPEED IS LIMITED TO AND HYUNDAI CLAIMS YOU CAN ALSO THE IONIQ 5 FELT SMOOTH, STABLE, HANDLING COURSE.

NICE DIRECT STEERING AND GAVE US CONFIDENCE TO PUSH WHERE WE FOUND ONLY MODERATE AND JUST THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF AND BEYOND ALL OF THAT, IT'S PRICING STARTS AT $44,895 SELS BEGIN AT $47,145, THE COST FOR ADDING DUAL-MOTOR WITH TRIM LEVEL.

THE 2022 IONIQ 5 IS AND IS THE FIRST VEHICLE AN ENTIRE FAMILY OF IONIQ EVs AND AS WE'VE COME TO EXPECT, THEIR HOMEWORK, AS WELL AS AMOUNT OF R&D TIME THAT HAS THEM IN THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE FIELD * WHEN IT COMES TO SPORTS, THEY PLAY.

THE 4XE LOOKS LIKE ANY OTHER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SURF BLUE INSIDE, IS SIGNIFIED BY A BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR, ON OUR TRAILHAWK DEMO.

IT BOASTS SOME IMPRESSIVE LIKE A PASSENGER SCREEN, AMBIENT LIGHTING, DRIVERS CAN SELECT FROM ELECTRIC, E-SAVE, AND HYBRID.

ELECTRIC USES BATTERY-POWER WHEREAS, E-SAVE USES JUST SAVING ALL THAT EV JUICE AND HYBRID MODE IS, Jessica Ray: I'M IN THE HYBRID THE BATTERY, BUT THE TURBO-4 HAS PLENTY OF POWER.

I'M THINKING ABOUT MY TIME A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND THIS THAT FEELS INCREDIBLY OF THIS SIZE.

AND THE LARGER GRAND CHEROKEE L FOR OUR 2022 AND I'M JUST REMEMBERING ALL OF THE AMAZING QUADRA-LIFT AIR THE MCINTOSH AUDIO SYSTEM, REALLY FAST AND INTUITIVE SO, ADDING ELECTRIFICATION TO MADE IT BETTER.

John: OUR TRAILHAWK THE QUADRA-DRIVE II 4X4 SYSTEM, FOR TRAIL RATED OFF-ROADING.

AND A STEEL SKID PLATE MEANT OR PUNCTURES OVER ROCKS.

THE 2022 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 4XE WITH SUMMIT RESERVE MODELS Alexander Kellum: IT SEEMS LIKE, ARE TRYING TO TACKLE THE GREAT ADDITIONAL PACKAGES, MAZDA IS PICKING UP THE TRAIL THE CX-50 IS PURPOSE BUILT FOR OF NORTH AMERICANS; TO CALIFORNIA TO SEE THIS FOR OURSELVES.

WE WERE GIVEN A 2.5 TURBO THROUGH SOCAL; THAT'S FLEXING 20 INCH WHEELS, AND A FULL COLOR HEADS-UP SO, HERE I AM DRIVING THE AND SO FAR, THE CX-50 IS FROM A MAZDA CROSSOVER.

I MEAN, IT'S QUIET, AND IT'S PREDICTABLE.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL THE CX-50 WELL, AT LEAST ACCORDING THAT'S RIGHT, MAZDA WANTED TO GET YOU OFF THE HIGHWAY OR AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT.

AND THAT STARTS WITH ALL CX-50'S ARE LED BY ONE NATURALLY ASPIRATED FOR THE OTHER TURBOCHARGED FOR AND 256 HORSES WHEN FUELED BY THAT POWER IS TRANSFERRED BY TO THE ALSO STANDARD ON THE PAVEMENT, THE CX-50 FEEL SPORTY, SELECTABLE DRIVE MODES ALLOW THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE TO IN MY CASE, AND SOME STEEP CONTOURS.

THE KIND OF OFF-ROADING THE THE LAST FEW MILES IT TAKES FOR SO, GRAVEL ROADS, SOME STANDING WATER, NOTHING TOO PERILOUS.

THAT BEING SAID, IT HANDLES ESPECIALLY, I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S LOSING I DON'T FEEL LIKE, UM, AGAIN, RELATIVELY LIGHT NOW LOOK, I'M NOT GOING TO TELL AND TRY TO TAKE ON THE BUT THAT SHOULD BE A GIVEN.

THE CX-50 IS FOR THE ADVENTUROUS PRACTICAL ON THE ROAD AND ON THE TRAILS.

AND WITH A STARTING PRICE OF WE HOPE MORE PEOPLE CAN GET OUT * Greg: TIME FOR AN UPDATE ON IT'S EASILY THE MOST STYLISH WITH THEIR DYNAMIC SHIELD GRILLE AND THE HEADLIGHTS DOWN LOW.

MANUFACTURERS ARE CONSTANTLY AND BE AS EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE AND MITSUBISHI ACKNOWLEDGES WITH THE OUTLANDER'S HOOD.

OWNERS THAT NOTICE THEIRS CAN VISIT THEIR DEALER THAT HASN'T SLOWED US DOWN IN JUST TWO-MONTHS, WITH THE 181 HORSEPOWER 2.5 LITER THE ACCELERATION OF LAST OR THE V6s OF OUTLANDERS PAST, SO FAR FOR OUR NEEDS.

NOT ONLY HAVE THE LOOKS OF THE BUT SO HAS THE FEEL.

ITS ROAD MANNERS ARE MORE HAS NO ISSUES KEEPING UP NOW, IF YOU'RE REALLY COOKING THE CABIN CAN GET A LITTLE BUT THE CRISP 10 SPEAKER TAKES CARE OF THAT WITH A QUICK WE'LL CHECK IN ON OUR VOLKSWAGEN MOTORWEEK LONG-TERM John: IT MAY BE HARD TO AND MAYBE EVEN HARDER TO EXPLAIN BUT THE BMW 4 SERIES GRAN COUPE COUPE/SEDAN/HATCHBACK TYPE AND IS BACK FOR SO, LET'S FIND OUT * BMW SURE KNOWS HOW TO MAXIMIZE WITH SEEMINGLY ENDLESS VARIETIES A WIDE RANGE OF PLATFORMS.

LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THIS 2022 BY NOMENCLATURE, 4 SERIES GRAN COUPE IS A MEMBER BUT WITH A STRETCHED WHEELBASE THAT'S LOVED BY SOME, IT HAS GROWN A LOT FROM WHEN ALMOST 6.0 INCHES LONGER, AND 1.0 INCH WIDER.

LONGER DOORS AND THE FLOWING FROM ITS 3 SERIES SEDAN IT'S CERTAINLY, WITH ALMOST SUV-LIKE ROOM AMONG THAT'S 16.6 CUBIC-FEET WITH A MAX OF 45.6 CUBIC-FEET.

PLUS, THE 3-SECTION REAR ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY.

PERFECT FOR ALL OF THAT YOUNG YOU WANT MORE THAN NEED.

BMW'S LATEST IDRIVE7 CONNECTED, WHILE THE 12.3 INCH DIGITAL GAUGE DISPLAY PROVIDES AND WAY MORE.

ALL IN THE USUAL DRIVER-ORIENTED THE CONTRADICTORY NATURE OF CARRIES OVER INSIDE; IT BORDERS ON TECH OVERLOAD, THERE ARE MANUAL SEATS.

MOST ODD IN A CAR AT THIS BUT SUCH THINGS HAVE LESS DRIVING IT.

THE M440I COMES WITH XDRIVE WITH AN 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC WHILE, BMW'S 3.0 LITER I6 TURBO WITH 382 HORSEPOWER AND AIDED BY A 48 VOLT MILD A REAR-DRIVE 430I GRAN COUPE IS A 255 HORSEPOWER 2.0 LITER I4.

AT THE TEST TRACK, SERIOUS PUNCH FROM THE MODEST OF AND IT WAS ALL GRIP AND GO FROM LEAPING OFF THE LINE WITH AND RIPPING TO 60 IN JUST THE ENGINE MAKES SOME GREAT AS THE TRANSMISSION EVER THINGS TO FIRE OFF LIGHTNING THE WHOLE CAR.

IT MAY LOOK LIKE A LAIDBACK WITH FAMILY HAULER INTENTIONS, LYING BELOW THE SURFACE; QUARTER-MILE TIMES OF AT 111 MILES PER HOUR AND CUTTING THROUGH A CONE TREMENDOUS BALANCE, AND MINIMAL BODY ROLL AS WELL.

EVEN WITH THE STEERING SET SPORT SETTING, WE'D LOVE A BIT MORE FEEDBACK, A GREAT AMOUNT OF SPEED THROUGH FINDING BOTH MINOR UNDERSTEER AT ITS LIMITS.

ADAPTIVE M SUSPENSION IS FOR COMFORT AND SPORT, THAT CONFORMS TO YOUR AND CAN EVEN USE GPS DATA FOR WHAT'S COMING DOWN THE ROAD.

THE M SPORT DIFFERENTIAL WORKS MOVING POWER TO WHICHEVER REAR RATHER THAN USING SELECTIVE PANIC STOPS FROM 60 WERE AND FREE OF ANY ABS NOISE OR MULTIPLE RUNS FOR US TO BELIEVE WE WERE STOPPING IN JUST THESE M SPORT BRAKES ARE SOMEHOW, WITH THE ADDITIONAL OF THE GRAN COUPE, LESS THAN A BASE 4 SERIES COUPE, OF $46,195.

YOU CAN THEN PAY 2-GRAND MORE OR JUST STEP UP TO OUR $59,195 THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF ANYMORE, SO IT'S NO SURPRISE GETTING BLURRIER.

BUT WE KNOW A PRETTY GOOD DEAL AND MOST PEOPLE WILL CERTAINLY OF THE 2022 BMW M440I XDRIVE EVEN IF IT IS JUST A SMART/ THAT'S PRETENDING TO BE A SEDAN, GO FIGURE!

WELL, THAT'S OUR SHOW, NOW, FOR MORE MOTORWEEK , PODCASTS, CRUISE ON OVER TO AND I HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US WHEN WE BOLT OFF THE LINE THEN, IT'S THE RETURN OF THE SUBARU WRX.
