Dodge Charger

The gas-powered version of the Charger with added benefits of the electric version makes an appealing vehicle, said DeMuro.
Dodge has a new design for the 2026 Charger with two-door and four-door versions available. Customize your driving experience with five drive modes and monitor the performance of your drive with the Drive eXperience Recorder. The muscle car also has the ability to switch from AWD to rear-wheel drive (RWD) with the push of a button. Other features include Brembo high-performance brakes, front and rear suspension and a dual-valve adaptive damping system that offers a cushier ride on rough roads.
Genesis GV90

DeMuro told viewers that he is looking forward to reviewing all the luxury details of the three-row Genesis GV90.
While the GV90 has not yet arrived, it will be Genesis' largest electric vehicle (EV). Car and Driver predicts that it will be equipped with electrically controlled dampers and air springs for a smooth ride, a befitting luxury cabin and possibly have an electric motor at each axle, providing standard AWD.
Jeep Recon
Starting price: $65,000
Recon is a fully electric off-road Jeep that has the ability to remove the doors for a cool-looking ride, DeMuro noted.
It's designed with removable windows, quick-release door hinges and a Sky One-Touch Power Top that lets the driver and passengers experience freedom on the road. It also includes a dual-level charging cord for charging on the go or at home. The Recon has Jeep's largest touchscreen display and offers more than 170 security and safety features including a rough road cruise control.
Subaru Trailseeker

DeMuro said that the Subaru Trailseeker is the perfect electric vehicle for people who like the Subaru Outback.
The Trailseeker has a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds, 8.3 inches of ground clearance and symmetrical AWD. The dual-function X-MODE will allow you to go where ordinary electric vehicles can't.
