In 2021, Ford announced plans to sell exclusively electric cars in Europe by 2030. Two years later, faced with falling EV sales, the brand admitted that its European division may not be electric-only by the end of the decade as planned. It ultimately depends on market demand.
MOAB, Utah — The title of our First Drive of the 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV included the phrase, «It's big, but this elephant can dance.» The truck earned that compliment after a day of squeezing through San Francisco lanes and the slightly-more-commodious back roads in Napa Valley. But an SUV can't be called a supertruck without equivalent mastery on dirt, so GMC led a posse of media to Moab, Utah to run the Hummer's favorite stomping grounds.
The twin-turbo 6.0-liter W12 engine composed the soundtrack to dreams around the world once it found a home in the Bentley Continental GT, which entered a production in 2003. That engine will sing its final encore in the Bentley Batur Convertible before the curtain comes down, tuned to its highest-ever output of 739 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. The Englanders in Crewe have lifted the hood on the successor, without providing all the details. What we know for now is that the powerplant debuting this summer is called the Ultra Performance Hybrid, a V8 PHEV with «more than 750 PS combined output» and an all-electric range of 50 miles on the WLTP cycle.

Audi expanded its range of electric vehicles toward the bottom, but there's a catch: this one isn't all-wheel-drive. The company's newest EV is a mountain bike powered by a drivetrain sourced from Italian manufacturer Fantic and fitted with an impressive suspension system.

Along with the Kia EV3 coming later this year, and the EV4, plus the EV5 for global markets, the automaker's working on a refreshed version of its first battery-electric vehicle for the U.S. market, the EV6. Proving that the design juggernaut won't stop anywhere in the Hyundai Group, the EV6 went on sale here less than three years ago as a 2022 model. But doing everything to maintain focus on its commitment to EVs, Kia wants its veteran rocking the new family look so everyone on the street knows what's what.
