~ Recorded Live from KOWS FM 92.5 ~
When it come to value, Tech Talk host Rick DeMeis lauds the 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD model for its abundance of premium refinements and notable safety achievements that bely a sticker price that’s modest for its segment of the market. Praiseworthy, too, was the ability to garner 27+ mpg on the highway while test driving this large SUV – 3.8-liter V8 notwithstanding. Listen up for the full report.
Also, there’s informative automotive news on tap including briefs about Tesla facing stiff competition in China, and Ford bringing new electrified versions of the Escape to market… and more.
A weekly feature on KOWS 92.5 FM radio Newtopian Dream program hosted by RT Newt.
