Admittedly, there is a lot of ICE cars featured on this channel, but they also cover EV’s fairly often as well.
Join Alex, Nick and Travis for in-depth looks at the latest cars, trucks, SUVs, and EVs on the market. In every video we cover all the things you should know if you’re shopping for a new vehicle. From what it looks like to what you get on each trim, how much they will cost you and how they compare to the competition. Unlike other channels we don’t waste time on antics, track day diaries, or sweeping vistas with loud music. Instead, we cover the nitty-gritty detail the other channels leave out!
Back in 2006, Alex was car shopping and decided he didn’t like any of the online resources he found. Nobody was showing in detail what the interior looked like, nobody was giving direct comparisons to the segment best sellers, so he decided to do something about it and start Alex On Autos. In 2023 to reflect the other folks here that make our weekly production happen, Alex On Autos became Auto Buyers Guide.
From Alex on Autos. While we all wait for the inevitable hybrid Outback, Subaru has another adventure wagon for you to consider: the Trailseeker. Not only is this the first "Electric Outback" Subaru has sold, it’s the quickest production Subaru ever, thanks to 375 ponies and nearly 400 lb-ft of twist. Also a surprise? It’s…
From Alex on Autos. The C-HR is back and much more electric than the last time we saw it in the US; this time around that means fully. We still get a youthful look but now it comes with over 300hp (338) and while the range hasn’t quite hit 300 it’s still entirely usable. The…
From Alex on Autos. The bz family is growing and the largest (and maybe most surprising) member is the bz Woodland. If you’re looking for some fun in your functional or some zip fior your road trip this is one you have to try. Of the EV’s wearing the Toyota badge you won’t find more…
From Alex on Autos. Acura is making a big push to reach a younger buyer with the Integra and how the ADX. Of these two, it’s likely the ADX that will find more homes in the garage but so much of that is built on what the Integra does well and that is to be…
From Alex on Autos. The Toyota Grand Highlander and Hyundai Palisade are two of the roomiest and most efficient 3-row crossover SUVs in America, offering hybrid power and efficiency, 7 or 8 seats, and enough cargo room for a family of light-packers to head out for the weekend. But when it comes to hauling the…
From Alex on Autos. The Macan Electric is a hoot and a half, but it’s also worth a king’s ransom… The high price tag (easily over $100K for many configurations) and extreme levels of customization are the reason that comparisons are so hard. Literally any other EV this size is MUCH, MUCH less expensive, but…
From Alex on Autos. There are updates, refreshes, and complete transformations but only the last descriptor covers the 2027 Toyota Highlander. We knew something was going to have to change when the Grand Highlander landed (but also took off) and it seems like the future is BEV for Toyota’s popular people mover. It rides on…
From Alex on Autos. Rumors of the A6’s (ICE) demise have been greatly exaggerated. It turns out that the electric only A6 isn’t meant to be for 2026 and instead what is arriving at dealers has more power than the outgoing model and some pretty clever packaging. That cleverness is important because even though this…
From Alex on Autos. Chevy’s unique decision to electrify their Blazer AND Equinox nameplates has some folks understandably confused. Afterall, from Hyundai to Tesla, Ford to Volkswagen, most companies are fielding just one 2-row EV SUV in America, but Chevy decided to create almost scale models of their EV. Was that the right move? I…

From Alex on Autos. With an MSRP less than a RAV4, and an actual out-the-door price well below the average new vehicle in 2025. For $35,000 or less, you can get an EV that will easily replace your old gas Equinox with better performance, more legroom, ginormous screens, and you’ll never have to visit a…
From Alex on Autos. Sedan sales are in a slump and full-size luxury sedan sales are in a near free-fall, with fewer options on sale every year. The best of the bunch for now? In my mind that’s the 7-Series from BMW. It’s not as opulent as a Maybach, but it’s a hair more discreet.…
From Alex on Autos. It seemed like there was nearly an Explorer for all who needed a 3 row SUV, and now they may have completed the quest. The new Ford Explorer Tremor takes everything you love about the original (including up to 400hp) and gives it a more capable, off-road twist. Along with accenting…
From Alex on Autos. The Pilot has been Honda’s biggest SUV but it seems to have been overshadowed by the Passport. No longer, at least that’s what Honda hopes! The boxy, rugged styling of the 2 row midsize has made it’s way to three row and it gets some interior upgrades to boot. It feels…
From Alex on Autos. With the Nissan Versa going the way of the do-do-bird, the Sentra is doing double duty as Nissan’s Corolla/Civic fighter and the least expensive Nissan in America.

From Alex on Autos. The Honda Prelude has returned but in a way that many are unsure of. the shadow is still a racer coupe with a fun wheel drive layout but under the hood you find the same hybrid powerttain as the Civic, Accord, and CR-V. The suspension is also pulled directly from a…
From Alex on Autos. When is a Mini not a Mini? The answer to that question might be the same answer as "What’s the best Mini?". Sound crazy? It might not be considering this is one of the more fun to drive, easy to live with, and daily practical Mini models you may ever see.…
From Alex on Autos. In this in-depth comparison, we put the all-new 2026 Subaru Outback head-to-head with the Toyota Crown Signia in a true battle of modern mainstream wagons. While both vehicles blur the line between wagon and crossover, they approach the segment from very different angles, with the Outback leaning into rugged practicality and…
From Alex on Autos. Volvo has electrified a significant portion of their lineup and today that expands even further. Meet the all new Volvo EX60, quite possibly the Goldilocks solution to your families needs. While this is in the same family line of the XC60 it ends up using space pretty differently with a longer…
From Alex on Autos. Not long ago, station wagons ruled America’s interstates, transporting families on epic road trips from coast to coast. Now however they are mainly the plaything of the rich (I’m looking at you BMW M5 Touring, and your sexy hatch).. Except for the Crown Signia, and maybe the Outback from Subaru, if…
From Alex on Autos. For those in denial, Subaru still actually calls the Outback a "Station Wagon," and that’s a compliment, not an insult. You see, Subaru’s high-riding wagon does something most SUVs can’t: it has a low roofline. That means if you *actually* use your CUV for outdoorsy things like kayaking, bicycling, etc. it’s…
From Alex on Autos. The Dodge Charger EV: It’s a great landing, at the RIGHT airport… but… nobody is waiting to board. Or to put it another way: It’s the "most Dodge" thing Dodge has built since the original Hellcat. Hear me out for a moment. The Dodge Charger is actually a pretty decent EV,…

From Alex on Autos. When Mazda said they would be bringing America not one but two RWD SUVs I was over the moon. When they said that one would be a 2-row mid-sized SUV with an inline 6 engine, many of us were salivating at the thought of a BMW X5 for the masses. What…
From Alex on Autos. A decade ago, Cadillac would have seemed like an unlikely player in the EV market, but today they have arguably one of the broadest EV lineups, spanning a whopping six models from small to huge, and price tags from around $50,000 up to over a quarter MILLION dollars. Smack dab in…
From Alex on Autos. A few months ago, we had the chance to drive Lucid’s Air sedan and sample the latest version of the DreamDrive Pro software which now offers hands-free driving similar to GM’s SuperCruise and Ford’s BlueCruise. While GM’s solution still feels more refined, Tesla is still the only one attempting to put…
From Alex on Autos. If there were a “big and brash” award in the auto industry a strong contender would have to be RAM. To start 2026 off we’re getting BIG announcements for the next model year and those cover both Insane Fun and Serious Capability. Let’s start with the TRX which now has a…
From Alex on Autos. Honda’s new passport is the boxy Honda, so many had been waiting for it, but it’s not quite the rugged SUV that some had hoped would take the fight directly to Toyota’s Forerunner and Jeep Grand Cherokee, but I’m actually okay with that because this is quite simply a better balance…

From Alex on Autos. The 2026 Toyota 4Runner marks one of the biggest changes in the model’s history. Toyota has leaned hard into its new body-on-frame SUV strategy, and the 4Runner now shares more DNA than ever with the Tacoma, Land Cruiser, and Lexus GX. But does this new turbocharged, tech-heavy 4Runner still live up…
From Alex on Autos. It’s not all new, and it’s been awhile since it has been, but the Nissan Pathfinder is finally getting a touch up for 2026. Most of the updates you’ll find to be of the cosmetic variety but not all of them. Inside the infotainment screen is updated and larger as well…
From Alex on Autos. The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is Subaru’s first real step into full hybrid territory — and it might be the hybrid Subaru fans have been waiting for. In this review, we break down Subaru’s new Toyota-assisted hybrid system, real-world fuel economy, performance, interior space, pricing, and how it stacks up against…
From Alex on Autos. If you’re looking for a 3-row EV, forget the Model X, drive by that Rivian lot, say no to the Kia and just get the Ioniq 9 instead. It’s roomier, and a much better value than just about any 3-row EV. Is it better than a Gravity? No, but it’s a…
From Alex on Autos. In a world full of options there’s one option you find less and less; the simple one. Screens, powertrains, and a multitude of configurations have become the norm and with these options comes an increase in price. Nissan may not top the charts in some of these categories but what they…
From Alex on Autos. In this wildly scatterbrained episode, we break down the biggest reveals from the LA Auto Show, including updates on Honda’s Prelude, the Jeep Recon, the redesigned Telluride, and Stellantis’ ever-confusing EV strategy. We also dive deep into Tesla’s shockingly high German inspection failure rates, and answer a listener’s question about how…
From Alex on Autos. Behold! The 2027 Kia Seltos has dropped, and it’ll finally have a hybrid under the hood! Which hybrid? Excellent question. Kia won’t say yet. All we know is that when it goes on sale in about a year in N. America, it’ll be bigger (about 2 inches longer and a hair…
From Alex on Autos. Nissan is bringing an all new Rogue to the US, but it looks more "Rogue relative" than an all new Rogue model (which we’ll see in 2027). It’s related to something, but that something normally wears a Mitsubishi badge and goes by the name Outlander PHEV. There are vehicle partnerships and…
From Alex on Autos. VW’s latest plan for America is to double down on SUVs with one for every occasion. The smallest of the bunch is the recently refreshed Taos which ditched the controversial DCT for a more conventional automatic. If you’re looking for one of the roomiest small SUVs in America, give the Taos…
From Alex on Autos. BMW’s fire-breathing M5 has drawn some controversy in this generation, and it has nothing to do with the new station wagon model… which is epic.

From Alex on Autos. Although I have never owned a Subaru before, it seems like the Wilderness trims were designed exactly for country living. Who lives in a forest down a gravel road? Me. Who likes rubber floor mats? Same. Who wouldn’t mind a set of all-terrain tires in the winter when there’s mud to…
From Alex on Autos. Well, OK, I wouldn’t buy *this* Niro because it’s the electric model, but thankfully I was able to spend a week in a base trim hybrid back to back with this top-trim EV and if I were in the market for an efficient and practical hatch, the Niro is absolutely the…
From Alex on Autos. Nissan is promising that the new Leaf will soon start at $25,360 before destination and under $30,000 in EVERY state, including sales tax. Even if you get a fully-loaded model like we were driving, it’ll still be less than the average new car in America. While it’s not the "best" EV…
From Alex on Autos. What happened to affordable cars? Shoppers stopped buying them, so car companies had to stop making them. There’s no such thing as a profitable low-volume car that’s cheap, so when numbers started falling, car companies had to increase prices and cut models. What does that leave us with? The reality that…
From Alex on Autos. Hear me out guys, they should have called it SubaCruise… Sure, I know GM would have sued, but how epic would that have been?! Afterall, Subaru Highway Hands Free Driving Assist (SHHFDA) is more than a dumb name, it’s a mouthful and any acronyms aren’t much better. They should have called…

From Alex on Autos. Subaru’s best-selling model of all time is perhaps their most unlikely. Created in an era when Subaru badly needed an SUV, but didn’t have the budget, Subaru instead created what would become the iconic Outback, the station wagon crossover/SUV. Often replicated, but rarely matched, Subie’s Outback is oddly more "conformist" than…
