Had to do it #F1 #LewisHamilton

Have been spending time with the Ford Explorer. Some nice touches, and it generally drives well, but finding road/tyre noise excessive for an EV. I like the exterior design, though black does it no favours.

Never thought I’d see this day. Excited for what’s to come. #F1

This is the Aion V, which will be the first model that GAC will introduce to Europe. It uses a 75.3kWh battery and gets a 521km WLTP range. Great rear passenger space too. Full review coming soon to CompleteCar.ie

This is the Aion Hyptec HT, featuring some familiar Tesla Model X vibes with those doors. The front doors are also automatic, but in the traditional plane. Rear motor produces 340hp and 430Nm. It uses an 83.3kWh LFP battery.

Sampling some of the latest wares from GAC. Let’s start with the Hyptec SSR. Fully electric supercar, generates 1,225hp and clocks 0-100km/h in 1.9 seconds.

That’s a racing driver excuse if ever I heard one

That’s low-level cornering commitment from you based on your usual standard.

You’ll be a while waiting for *that* Tesla Robotaxi to arrive. Meanwhile in Guangzhou, China…

I need to get out and drive this thing a whole lot more this year

It’s such a stunning landscape

Thought it was worth adding a few more pics. All taken by the very talented Andy Morgan

Went to some wild places in 2024. One of the real highlights was driving a Skoda Enyaq across Morocco and spending a night under an incredible sky in the Sahara. I also visited the impressive Noor Power Station. You can watch a whole 40-minute video on it all on the Complete Car YT channel.

Oooooff that’s some 56k dial-up goodness there

As a piece of design the Honda Zoomer remains one of the coolest scooters to come to the market since the 90s. The bare-bones utilitarian image still stands out today. I'm very glad to own this, and even if I didn't use it for the odd coffee run, l'm have it parked in a corner as a design piece.

So good seeing this car again!

Doing a bit of Xmas day reading

Will try to make it happen

This is definitely the best step on from the e-Niro.

For sure. I’m around Dublin for the next few days

Enjoy Dublin while you’re here

The one thing I find with the EV3 is that it’s surprisingly capacious. Certainly more than enough for me, though I don’t have a family to drive around.

That’s a lovely little thing. Looking forward to seeing the results

The big guy knows! Happy Xmas

I’ll share it before it goes back. I keeps tabs on this with every test car

Wasn’t as easy to navigate today!

I think you’re right. I can see Kia selling shed loads of these here. I think it’s cool in many ways. Certain aspects make me imagine it as a sort of ‘what the BMW i3 could have evolved into’.

There’s something about Grafton Street on Xmas Eve

Spending the next couple of weeks driving the Kia EV3. The design has already totally won me over, and it’s pretty good to drive too. Anything you wanna know about it?

Yeah, hypercars and supercars these days don’t do a whole lot for me
