From an EV touchscreen failure that takes essential controls with it to a Chevy Colorado that attracts attention everywhere it goes, this episode of You Auto Know with Dave Stall is packed with the kind of real-world automotive insight you won't find in a manufacturer brochure.

Dave Stall and his guest reviewers cover everything from electric SUVs and charging technology to midsize trucks and affordable crossovers, sharing the features they love—and the ones that left them scratching their heads.

The EV conversation starts with Dave's experience in the 2026 Volvo EX30 Twin Motor, a 422-horsepower compact electric SUV with impressive performance but an interface that relies heavily on its central touchscreen. When the system failed during Dave's drive, it affected access to multiple vehicle functions and raised a bigger question: Have modern vehicles become too dependent on touchscreens?

Kristen Barclay offers a very different EV experience with the Hyundai Ioniq 5, highlighting its fast-charging capability, practical design, and vehicle-to-load technology. The conversation also covers Hyundai's aggressive pricing strategy and what changing EV incentives could mean for buyers.

Brian Armstead brings the truck excitement with the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado Trail Boss 250th Anniversary Special Edition, featuring distinctive Stars and Steel styling, blacked-out wheels, and an attention-grabbing LED light rack. Brian says the Colorado generated more positive reactions from strangers than almost any vehicle he's reviewed.

Dave also shares his experience with a Chevrolet Silverado diesel that delivered impressive highway fuel economy during a San Diego-to-Arizona trip—good enough that he nearly bought the truck himself.

Rounding out the show is the 2027 Kia Seltos X-Line SX, a well-equipped subcompact SUV combining turbocharged performance with premium features, Harman Kardon audio, and Kia's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
