CLOSED CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY * Announcer: MOTORWEEK , 40 YEARS, STEERING YOU BROUGHT TO YOU BY... ROCKAUTO HAS AUTO PARTS FROM OFFERING A VARIETY OF BRANDS, ROCKAUTO.COM, ALL THE PARTS YOUR CAR John: NO ONE WOULD HAVE THE CHEVROLET TAHOE FIRST THAT ONLY 25 YEARS LATER, THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD.

NOW, WHILE MANY OF ITS CHANGED TO FIT INTO THE THE TAHOE HAS SOLDIERED ON AND LET'S SEE IF THAT * BACK WHEN THE FIRST TAHOE AMERICAN SUVs WERE MOSTLY HASTILY ASSEMBLED ON TRUCK WAY DOWN THE LIST OF PRIORITIES.

MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE, 2021 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS BUT, THANKFULLY NOT TOO MUCH.

WE TESTED A TAHOE IN 1995 IN THEIR LINEUP, IT WAS A SHORTENED VERSION OF WE PRAISED ITS GREAT RIDE, PLAYER IN ITS MARKET.

WELL, THAT'S NO LONGER THE CASE, ARE BECOMING RARER, BUT IT DOES EVEN SMOOTHER AND MORE COMPLIANT THAT'S LARGELY DUE TO A NEW WITH MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL.

OR GO FURTHER WITH THE AIR RIDE WITH 4.0 INCHES OF RIDE HEIGHT IT SPEARHEADS WHAT IS THE MOST OF THE TAHOE SINCE INCEPTION.

OVERALL LENGTH IS UP 6.7 INCHES; FORD EXPEDITION BY LESS THAN AND, THERE'S NO DENYING TAHOE AND SLEEKER THAN EVER.

TOP HIGH COUNTRY TRIM ADDS AND 22 INCH CHROME ACCENTED WHILE, STILL BASED ON TAHOE BENEFITS FROM NEARLY OVER LAST YEAR.

THAT, ALONG WITH THE NEW I.R.S, INTERIOR SPACE.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK TO MINIVANS, 25.5 CUBIC-FEET BEHIND THE THIRD 72.6 BEHIND THE SECOND ROW, OF 122.9 CUBIC-FEET; AND EXPEDITION MAX, THERE'S STILL THE SUBURBAN, IN OUR HIGH COUNTRY BOTH SECOND WITH SWITCHES JUST INSIDE SECOND ROW SEAT BOTTOMS ACTUALLY LOAD FLOOR.

CHEVROLET WANTED TO BOOST AND THERE IS INDEED MORE THREE-MORE INCHES OF LEGROOM AND A WHOPPING 10 ADDITIONAL NOTHING PLEASES BUYERS MORE OF EASY TO USE TECH; HERE, A 10 INCH INFOTAINMENT AND AN 8.0 INCH DIGITAL AS IS A HEAD-UP DISPLAY.

YES, WE KNOW MOST KIDS TO LOOK AT THESE DAYS, THESE AVAILABLE 12.6 INCH FOR COOLNESS FACTOR.

SOME MAY FIND THE MULTITUDE OF A STEP BACKWARDS, THEIR FAMILIARITY CHEVY WENT UNTRADITIONAL A PUSH/PULL GEAR SELECTOR NOT A BAD APPROACH, ENGINE CHOICES ARE 5.3 LITER AND 420 HORSEPOWER AND EVEN THE DELIGHTFUL 3.0 LITER DURAMAX TURBO-DIESEL; WITH THE LIGHTER 5.3 LITER THOUGH DIESEL RATINGS ARE NOT OUR HIGH COUNTRY HAS THE BIG AND WE LOVED ITS 460 POUND-FEET WE PUT IT TO GOOD USE AT WHERE AFTER A SLUGGISH START, AND TO 60 IN JUST 7.1 SECONDS.

ALL TAHOE'S COME WITH AND THIS ONE WAS QUITE SMOOTH; QUICKLY ON THE WAY TO AT 93 MILES PER HOUR.

IT'S HARD TO IGNORE THE FACT AT MORE THAN 5,600 POUNDS, THE NEW INDEPENDENT GOES A LONG WAY TO DISGUISE IT.

STILL, IT DOESN'T REALLY AS HYPER-AGGRESSIVE STABILITY WAY BEFORE WE APPROACHED AWAY FROM THE TRACK, PAYS EVEN BIGGER DIVIDENDS, YOU'LL FIND IN THE FULL-SIZE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING OUR HIGH COUNTRY SPORTS WITH A HOST OF CAMERAS GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS ARE ABOUT WHERE YOU'D EXPECT 14-CITY, 19-HIGHWAY, AND, IT NEEDS PREMIUM FUEL, A GREAT 20.3 MILES PER GALLON.

PRICING STARTS AT $50,295 ADD ANOTHER $3,000 FOR AND THEN ON THROUGH THE SIX WHICH STARTS AT $70,895.

SO, PROGRESS APPARENTLY, BUT THERE'S NO DENYING HAS INDEED PROGRESSED.

John: LIKE, MOST OF US, A LOT OF THINGS THESE DAYS NOW, HERE'S WHAT HE THINKS * Pat Goss: KEEPING YOUR CAR TO MAINTAIN ITS VALUE.

BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND SAFE FOR YOU.

BUT FIRST, SOME THINGS THAT NUMBER ONE, YOU SHOULDN'T CLEAN BECAUSE THEY CAN TRAP DIRT SOFT SURFACES.

HERE'S A BIG ONE I DON'T KNOW BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING AND THAT IS TO USE ANY KIND OF TAKES THE COLOR OUT OF THINGS.

INSTEAD OF THE PAPER TOWELS, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO USE, THAT IS THE WAY YOU GO.

PEROXIDE IS A NO-NO AND WHEN IT A LOT OF THEM ARE ANTIBACTERIAL AND IN THIS DAY AND AGE WE NEED SOMETHING THAT SO MAKE SURE YOU READ THE LABELS ALSO, NEVER FORGET TO READ LOOK FOR THE EXCLUSIONS THAT TELL YOU WHAT NOT TO USE BECAUSE NOT ALL CARS ARE NOW, ONE THING THAT IS ARE THE SOFT PLASTICS THAT ARE AND OVER THE INSTRUMENTS THERE ARE SPECIAL CLEANERS DON'T USE A GENERAL PURPOSE THAT PLASTIC.

THEN, HERE WE HAVE WIPES.

WELL, WE HAVE ONE AND ONE THAT'S 5% ALCOHOL.

FIVE PERCENT IS FINE FOR YOUR BUT YOU WANT THE 70% FOR SO THAT IT KILLS BACTERIA OH, HAND CLEANER IT IS A NO-NO MAKE SURE YOU USE IT ON YOUR BUT NOT IN THE CAR.

WHEN IT COMES TO CLEANING WELL, YOU CAN USE ALCOHOL IT WILL CLEAN IT BUT IT'S AND SO ON YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SO THAT IT DOESN'T DAMAGE OR VINYL.

BEST THING TO DO IN THAT CASE, AND VINYL CLEANER THAT'LL CLEAN IT AND CONDITION AND AFTER THAT GO OVER IT AND IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION RIGHT HERE AT MOTORWEEK .

John: IT'S NEW CAR SEASON, OF THE LATEST TO COME OUR WAY.

* Jessica Ray: THE TLX HAS ONLY FOR FIVE-YEARS, BUT IT HAS AS SECOND ONLY TO THE NSX THE ACURA EXCITEMENT METER.

SO, IT LOOKS LIKE TURBO-4 Jessica: THE TLX RIDES ON THAT ACURA PROMISES IS A MUCH ONTO WHICH THEY WERE ABLE SOPHISTICATED SUSPENSION, SHARPER RESPONSE TO INSIDE, AS A SPORT SEDAN SHOULD BE, THAT ACURA NAILS BETTER THAN * THE 2021 TLX WILL BE AVAILABLE STARTING AROUND $35,000.

BUT, IF YOU CAN YOUR HIGH-PERFORMANCE ACURA YOUR PATIENCE WILL BE REWARDED WHICH NOT ONLY FEATURES 3.0 LITER V6 TURBO ENGINE, ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE INTO THE TYPE S STAY TUNED, AS WE'LL HAVE MUCH John: THOUGH, THE PORSCHE FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS, ARRIVED JUST LAST YEAR WITH AND, NOW THAT THIS 2020 TURBO S THINGS ARE REALLY GETTING IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT POWERTRAIN, A 541 HORSEPOWER TWIN-TURBO ADD TO THAT A 100 KW AND YOU'VE GOT AN SUV JUST AS QUICKLY AS IT SPINS AND IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN IN YOUR SUV, OF YOUR DAILY DRIVING WITH BATTERY POWER.

COUPE SUVs ARE A BIT OF A FORM AND IT REALLY WORKS HERE, JUST ADDS TO THE CAYENNE'S TURBO S E HYBRID UPGRADES AERO DESIGN WHEELS, HOWEVER, THE AVAILABLE SHAVES OFF ABOUT 70 POUNDS WITH 22 INCH GT DESIGNS, OUT OF CARBON FIBER, AND ADDING WITH BLACK TAIL PIPES.

* THERE'S NOT MUCH ROOM FOR IN THE SMALL CROSSOVER FIELD AND BARELY ANY IN KIA'S SIZE-WISE, THE 2021 SELTOS THE ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE SPORTAGE, NIRO AND SOUL.

KIA SAYS, "SELTOS IS A PLAY ON WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL NOT A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX.

IT MAY BE THE SMALLEST KIA BUT ITS UPRIGHT STANCE, AND RUGGED DEMEANOR ALL FAVOR THE TELLURIDE, ROOF RAILS, LED LIGHTING, AND 17 INCH ALLOY WHEELS SHARING THE HYUNDAI KONA'S A MACPHERSON STRUT FRONT WHILE IN BACK IT'S A MULTI-LINK TORSION BEAM, IF YOU STICK WITH AND, IF YOU DO STICK WITH YOU'RE ALSO STUCK WITH NATURALLY-ASPIRATED AS THE SMALLER BUT MIGHTIER ONLY COMES WITH ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE.

OUTPUT FOR THE 1.6 IS AND 195 POUND-FEET OF TORQUE.

UNLIKE MOST IN THE CLASS, KIA TRIED TO IMBUE THE SELTOS PITTING IT AGAINST NOT JUST ADDED CLADDING HERE; 7.3 INCHES OF GROUND CLEARANCE, AND A FRONT BUMPER DESIGNED ON PAVEMENT IS WHERE IT WILL DO AND HERE IT FEELS SOLID THAN MANY OF ITS COMPETITORS.

EVEN THROUGH THE CONES OF WHEN LIMITS WERE APPROACHED, WITH VERY LITTLE BODY ROLL YOU WILL STILL BATTLE SOME AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH FAIRLY IN OUR PANIC BRAKING TEST, WITH A 110 FOOT THOUGH, THE BRAKES DID BEGIN AN UNUSUALLY, STEAMY TEST DAY ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE TURBO FASTER THAN 7.5 SECONDS.

STILL, EVEN ON A DAY WITH BOTH IT SHOWED PLENTY OF PEP.

SELTOS ACTUALLY FEELS EVEN AND PAIRS NICELY WITH THAT COMES WITH THE TURBO.

THE 2.0 LITER GETS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION.

THERE'S GOOD COMFORT INSIDE, IS WHERE MOST OF THESE TINY UTEs LIMITING THEIR EFFECTIVENESS BUT THE SELTOS IS ONE SMALL HIT THE HIGHWAY WITH FOR THERE'S AN 8.0 INCH TOUCHSCREEN WITH KIA'S TYPICAL GREAT AND LOTS OF WELL PLACED MANUAL ALSO...HEATED SEATS, REAR CAMERA REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY, OH, AND YOU SHOULD KNOW, JUST ONE STEP UP FROM THE ONLY THINGS ADDED TO OUR WITH THE TURBO ENGINE, AND ADDED SAFETY FEATURES LIKE FORWARD COLLISION AND EVEN LANE KEEP ASSIST FRONT SEATS ARE MORE SUPPORTIVE UP FOR THE LONG HAUL.

REAR SEATS OFFER TRUE WITH RECLINING BACKS THAT ALSO IN 60/40 FASHION.

THAT BRINGS US TO ANOTHER USUAL SHORTCOMING OF AND YET AGAIN, THE SELTOS 26.6 CUBIC-FEET OF SPACE EXPANDING TO 62.8 CUBIC-FEET GOVERNMENT FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS 1.6 LITER ARE 25-CITY, WE AVERAGED A GOOD 28 MILES PREDICTABLY, KIA HAS KEPT STARTING AT JUST $23,110, OF AN ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE LX EX TRIM COMES IN AT $26,410; WITH THE 2021 KIA SELTOS, THEIR FULL-LINEUP EVEN TIGHTER, THIS NOW GIVES THE SPORTAGE IN SIZE TO THE SORENTO.

IT MAY HAVE TAKEN A WHILE FOR TO THE MINI-UTE SEGMENT, IN GRAND FASHION.
