YouTube Video RkxFQVRQOTVOTTdpRVJFWEJnRF94VFFRLjlCQTZFRDY1MTM3Njk0MTM Lexus has finally turned the ES into an electric luxury sedan — and it may be one of the most normal, useful EVs yet.

The 2026 Lexus ES electric is longer, roomier, quieter, and designed for real life rather than EV theatre. With up to 307 miles of range in the ES 350e, available all-wheel drive and 338 horsepower in the ES 500e, a calmer new design, a bigger interior, available reclining rear seats, massage, a 14-inch touchscreen, and Lexus Safety System+ 4.0, this is an electric car built for commuters, families, airport runs, school runs, and grown-up luxury.

Nik Miles takes a look around the new electric Lexus ES to see whether this is the luxury EV sedan normal people have been waiting for.

Lexus Just Made Its Most Sensible Luxury Sedan Electric

The 2027 Mercedes-AMG GLC 53 looks like a luxury family SUV, but Mercedes has given it 443 horsepower, rear-axle steering, a turbocharged inline-six, and yes — available Drift Mode.

Nik Miles heads to Germany for a first drive of the new AMG GLC 53 to find out whether this is still a practical SUV for families, dogs, luggage, and the weekly shop… or whether Mercedes has quietly built a school-run machine with a serious attitude problem.

We look at the SUV and Coupe body styles, the AMG performance upgrades, the new engine setup, the cabin technology, the suspension, the brakes, and whether this fast luxury SUV really makes sense against BMW, Audi, Porsche, Lexus, and Genesis.

The Indianapolis 500 is more than a race. It is 33 cars, 500 miles, more than 300,000 fans, marching bands, bagpipers, flyovers, food, costumes, tradition, and one of the most intense starts in motorsport.

Test Miles spent the weekend at the Indy 500 as a guest of Honda, getting a first-hand look at the pageantry, the fans, the chief starter Aaron Likens, and the hybrid racing technology that helps shape cars like the Honda Accord Hybrid.

From the green flag to the grandstands, this is why the Indy 500 still matters — not just to racing fans, but to anyone who drives. Based on your script’s focus on Indy tradition, Aaron Likens, fan culture, and Honda hybrid tech.

PODCAST

Test Miles
Test Miles

Test Miles covers the car industry, from new cars to giving potential buyers all the background and information on buying a new vehicle. National TV and Radio expert Anchor Nik Miles brings his dry and sarcastic British views and interview style to the radio. Top Car designers and executives give exclusive and insightful background information on the car development and sales process. Adam Corolla called Nik Miles the V8 of Car Radio hosts. Joining Nik, Marconi, Tricia, and more.

Changing In The Car
byNik Miles

Nik reveals his favorite food to eat in the car and somehow it only gets more chaotic from there. Marconi says something so ridiculous that Nik laughs so hard the entire show temporarily derails and, for a few very concerning minutes, we honestly thought he might be dying. Yes, there is audio evidence.
The crew answers listener questions, talks automotive news, and Nik apparently eats his body weight in fine cheeses while visiting Uncle Bob at his winery. Which honestly explains a lot.
Cars, cheese, near medical emergencies, and questionable life choices. Just another normal episode of Test Miles with Nik Miles, Trish, and Marconi. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
