Like most of us, the situation in 2020 is very different from what we expected in January.By the end of February, it is clear that COVID-19 will become a serious problem as the auto show and driving events have been cancelled a lot of. However, our local news fleet is still operating, and a calendar without a calendar means more time to test cars at home. Fortunately, sitting in a car alone can meet the requirements of social evacuation, and the car interior can be a welcome change to spend all day at home.
This means that despite the new reality, we managed to test drive many new cars. These are the highlights of the year spent on the steering wheel.
Hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles

I do hope to be impressed with Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, but it still surprises me. This is the only thing that really stood out at this year’s Chicago Auto Show, because the car fulfilled all its promises and played more roles in the journey. It is very handsome, it provides some useful driver assistance functions, and it does achieve a fuel consumption of 52mpg (4.5l/100km), and these fuel consumption is less than 28,000 US dollars.

In 2020, when we shipped it from our factory in Ohio to Daytona, Florida, we drove more miles on this Acura NSX supercar than anywhere else. This is a beautiful car, the powertrain is very interesting, but it is not my first choice for driving hundreds of miles on the highway every day.

Most of the day will be spent on this Toyota Venza hybrid. I drove from Washington to Cooperstown in New York, and then came back. Unlike NSX, I strongly recommend using Venza on long trips.

A car that can fuel oil? The 2020 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid really impressed us.

Volvo XC40 is already an eye-catching luxury crossover, and the addition of an all-electric powertrain only improves it.

I promise that I did not deliberately search for Butteritz Heights Avenue. But it was a coincidence that I couldn’t stop and take pictures.

Next year, the appearance of the Bolt EV will be different because it will get a styling update, which will also bring faster DC fast charging and adaptive cruise control (but it may not appear in the Bolt with a longer wheelbase. Super Cruise on SUV) This is also in progress).

The Kia Niro electric car is another battery electric car, proving that the Korean auto industry is currently in the leading position.

The appearance is similar to other Mini Cooper, but the fact that it appears on the charger can show that the Mini Cooper SE is a battery-electric Mini.

The interior of the Polestar 2 is one of the best features of the car.

Audi gave its e-tron electric car a new look-this is the Audi e-tron Sportback.

The price of e-tron Sportback is between $70k-$90k, depending on the interior or options, but I don’t think the money will lead to a better EV interior.

This sky blue attack of orange yellow and volt green is (deep breath) the 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe Turbo S E-Hybrid. It is the top Cayenne and also a plug-in.

The houndstooth interior trim comes with a Lightweight Sport Pack. The adaptive front seats and the steering wheel covered with Racetex are excellent.

Seven of the 32 cars we reviewed this year were BEVs. In the future we will have more topics about Volkswagen ID.4 and Volvo XC40 Recharge, because we spend less than an hour with each other. And look forward to evaluating the Ford Mustang Mach-E in the new year-we just planned to use the electric carriage for a week in January. The pandemic delayed the Chevrolet Bolt EV’s plan to make a facelift. The Kia Niro electric car is very capable and is one of the few electric cars close to Tesla in terms of range efficiency. The driving feel of the Mini Cooper SE is cool, the interior of the Polestar 2 is very impressive, and the Audi e-tron Sportback is also very impressive despite the high price.
No money, but I want to have the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid. And I never thought I would type these words myself. Yes, this is a large SUV, and yes, I’m the kind of annoying writer who never stops telling your readers how unsatisfied he is with large SUVs. But the power-to-weight ratio of the Cayenne Coupé means it will not drive like a large SUV. Its battery pack is large enough to handle most of my normal journey. The houndstooth-like interior may be my favorite of all the cars I drove this year.
