Episode 121: 2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC EV, 2019 Lexus UX, Datsun Track Disasters

Author: Unnamed Automotive Podcast May 19, 2019 Duration: 53:16

Will the 2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC have what it takes to unseat the Tesla Model X, the Audi e-tron, and the Jaguar i-Pace? Sami has the scoop after spending a couple days behind the wheel of the latest German electric car under dreary Norwegian skies. Benjamin's week is a little sunnier, as he samples the 2019 Lexus UX and discovers that the Japanese automaker has been smart when shrinking down its luxury formula. Finally, Benjamin relates two shocking tales of mechanical woe from his most recent Datsun track adventures.


You’re probably used to car reviews that stick to horsepower figures and trim levels, but Unnamed Automotive Podcast takes a different exit. Each week, automotive journalists Benjamin and Sami sit down to tear apart the latest models and the industry at large, but they do it with a blend of genuine expertise and unscripted humor that feels more like a conversation in a garage than a formal critique. They get into the weird quirks of car culture, share honest opinions that often bypass the usual press kit talking points, and aren’t afraid to laugh at the absurdities they encounter. This isn’t just specs and performance data-though that’s in there, too-it’s about the stories, the personalities, and the unexpected moments that happen when you’re truly passionate about cars. Tuning into this podcast feels like hanging out with two friends who happen to know everything about automobiles, making it a perfect mix for anyone who loves cars, comedy, or just hearing a fresh, unfiltered take. You’ll find their chemistry drives the discussion, turning each episode into a ride that’s as entertaining as it is informative.
