Can this new Hyundai outclass premium luxury SUVs?

We are on location in South Korea to explore the design and premium engineering behind the all-new Hyundai Ioniq 9. This massive three-row electric SUV aims to redefine what big families can expect from sustainable luxury transport. Built on an advanced 800-volt architecture, this vehicle supports ultra-rapid DC fast charging up to 250 kW, allowing drivers to replenish the substantial 106 kWh battery quickly during long journeys. Visually, it steps away from traditional boxy SUV designs by incorporating a sleek, aerodynamic teardrop roofline that cuts down drag and optimizes real-world driving range. The exterior also showcases striking pixel matrix LED lighting and a distinctive rear vertical light stack layout. Step inside the top-tier Calligraphy trim to discover a cabin focused heavily on passenger comfort, highlighted by dual middle-row power-reclining captain's chairs that mimic a premium airline business-class experience with integrated footrests, heating, and ventilation. Cargo versatility is equally remarkable, offering up to 1323 liters of boot space with the power-operated third row folded flat, alongside flexible under-bonnet storage options. We break down the standard equipment levels, the choice between efficient rear-wheel drive and high-performance dual-motor all-wheel-drive variants, and the expected premium pricing structure.

Why racecars are brutal on long road trips

This video follows a difficult cross country drive from Nashville to Oklahoma City in a Caterham racecar that was never built for normal long distance travel. The car has no proper roof no air conditioning no brake booster no ABS and no power steering which makes the trip uncomfortable from the start. Heavy rain turns the open cabin into a wet mess before extreme heat reaches around 120°F and makes the drive even harder. The team tries a risky cool suit wiring fix while moving then the clutch begins to fail because heat from the exhaust causes the fluid to boil. A roadside repair with basic tools and a straw keeps the journey alive. The video shows why a racecar can feel exciting for short hard driving but becomes stressful painful and unpredictable during a full day on the road.

My teen wants an old sports car as a first vehicle because it is 'cheap.' Am I right to refuse?

When a teen says an old sports car is “cheap,” they are usually talking about the asking price, not the full cost of owning it. That is the part parents are right to question.
