In Podcast #341, Jessica Ray fills in for John Davis on hosting duties. Her and the rest of the MotorWeek crew discuss the massive upgrade for the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox. Along with Toyota’s helping hand to Mazda, lending them hybrid tech to put in their CX-50 utility. And finally we’ll finish off with the resurrection of the Scout name–yes, the one from International Harvester—as a new EV truck & SUV brand who recently debuted their first two models. Plus we have a Lightning Round on the recent resignation of the CEO of Stellantis—the company that owns Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM, & Fiat—and what his departure might mean for the brand.

We thought a podcast would be the perfect vehicle for taking viewers behind-the-scenes of MotorWeek. We produce 52 episodes of MotorWeek a year, but we don't always have time to tell you everything. The podcast is a unique opportunity for viewers to hear our personal impressions of the vehicles we road test, discover the stories behind the stories MotorWeek is covering and learn more about where the auto industry is headed as it focuses squarely on fuel economy.
