The Korean Car Blog has a succinct summary of everything that separates the new eMP architecture (underpinning the new GV90 flagship electric SUV) from the more mundane E-GMP (that's underneath a variety of Hyundai and Kia EVs, as well as the Genesis GV60). The list of upgrades is impressive: 🔹Stiffer structure to support pillarless coach rear doors, with a revised flat-floor architecture to support fully swiveling front seats 🔹Rear-wheel steering (to keep up with the Europ

Built on a Genesis-exclusive eMP platform with a large 123.5kWh battery, an estimated 310-mile range, 800V fast charging, and a 656hp twin-motor

Investor Day deck highlights EREVs, new portfolio entries, and affordable performance...

Its Modern Solid design language brings a distinctive Tech Deck front end, T-shaped lighting, flush door handles, large wheels, and aerodynamic detailing, while the powertrain lineup of

Performance is modest (roughly 9–10 seconds to 100 km/h), but the projected EV range is competitive depending on battery, and the feature list is rich with advanced driver assist

Built on a new Electric Compact Architecture, the #2 goes fully electric and targets roughly 186 miles of range (likely on China’s CLTC cycle), a major step up versus the outgoing model. Visually it stays close to the ForTwo’s compa

In a world that's gone SUV-crazy, the Ioniq 3 is a fashionably-styled five-door compact coupe. Rather than wait until the Beijing Motor Show, Hyundai unveiled the Ioniq 3 during (appropriately enough) Milan Design Week. Although it shares its 400V platform with the recently unveiled Kia EV3 and EV2, this is a sportier entry that picks up some flavor from the recently discontinued Veloster. The "Art of Steel" inspired exterior includes four centrally mounted lights up front an

More angular than the Ioniq 6 and visually reminiscent of Honda’s 0 Series Saloon, Venus features a lightweight, frame-structured roof, a transparent rear spoiler, and a highly driver-focused interior. Inside, a wra

IMAGE: HYUNDAI It seems to be almost impossible to keep a secret these days, but that's just what Hyundai did with the cleverly-named Boulder concept unveiled at the New York International Auto Show . With a midsize body-on-frame pickup confirmed "by 2030", my hunch is that they brought the Bronco-esque SUV to New York to gauge customer reaction. You may recall that the Santa Cruz was described by Hyundai as "one of the most researched concepts we have ever done." Unfortuna

There has been plenty written lately about the future of auto shows, and what they mean—or don’t mean—to automakers and consumers in today’s frantic, online, instant-gratification-fueled world. I’m pleased to report that, while several automakers skipped this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, it was an altogether entertaining and educational experience. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be the singular item outside the show’s control: the rain. THE SHOW ITSELF It was

It will launch with the high-end Moab variant at $65,000, with more affordable models to follow. Sales start in North America, with other markets to follow. It shares its STLA Large architecture

There had been some speculation (fueled by the electric Compact Cruiser concept shown in 2022) that this new product might be an electrified BFI entry, but that’s definitely not the case. Underneath is Toyota’s 21-year-o
