The 2023 GV70 is a sporty vehicle offering a fun driving experience with great acceleration and a nice design. The electrified version, reviewed here, is no exception and keeps the G-Matrix signature on the grille while hiding its charging port.

Some may say that 2022 was the year that electric vehicles (EVs) really took off, saleswise, or (finally) began to rapidly increase market share in the U.S. It is certainly true that electric vehicles sold in larger numbers than ever before in the U.S. last year, and almost every automaker is hurriedly bringing new EVs to market too. But how big are these increases really, and which automakers are capturing the most EV market share?

I’ve written up several predictions of which automotive brands will round out the top 5 plug-in electric sales spots (behind 1st place Tesla). Now that we are near the end of another year, we can pretty well see how those predictions turned out, but what does next year have in store for the U.S. plug-in electric vehicle market? Will the same 5 brands retain their lead spots next year too, or will we start to see some shifts?

The other day I shared a nice lunch and conversation with an older stranger at a winery. We talked about wine, the stories behind each bottle and label, and after a while the conversation turned to electrified vehicles. He was very interested to hear about my experiences and thoughts as he was considering purchasing his first EV or plug-in hybrid for himself, or possibly for his wife.

Do you know about the Hyundai Ioniq 5, and the Kia EV6? If you do, then it should not come as a surprise to you that Genesis, a premium brand from the Hyundai-Kia conglomerate, created a fancy version of that automobile. Welcome the 2023 Genesis GV60, an only-electric EV SUV with Boost mode, Drift mode, face-recognition, and a wireless charging capability.

Tesla just had its AI Day event and it was very technical and detailed. I'm excited for where their AI tech is going, but I also thought about Elon Musk talking in videos about how we must be cautious and very careful as we create AI.

The 2021 Hyundai Elantra is a finalist for North American Car of the Year. Can it win? This could be its year.

There was a lot of hoopla yesterday about the U.S. introduction of the 2021 Hyundai Tucson and 12 new SUVs by 2021. Oddly lost in the news was an announcement of a partnership with Nvidia, which is much bigger for the company.

The new Genesis GV70 SUV just got released, and this could be the vehicle to bring Genesis to the mainstream. I also think this is the perfect vehicle for Genesis to turn into an EV.

This week Torque News reviewed the 2020 G70 RWD 3.3T Sport. G70 has received numerous awards from the hands of various organizations during its few years of existence. The Good Design Award for 2018, North American Car of the Year 2019, JD Power's Best Initial Quality for 2019, IIHS Top Safety Pick plus Top Choice, and the list goes on. Let's see what makes the 2020 G70 so special.

While the 2018 Genesis G80 Sport is far more capable of showing off its performance-inspired design on a cool summer night, this rear-wheel-drive, twin turbocharged luxury sedan does a great job of battling Old Man Winter’s fury - reminding me why the Genesis models deserve to be in a brand of their own rather than a model in the Hyundai lineup.
By Parks McCants on March 25, 2018 - 10:49PM
Out of all fairness to Genesis, our 2018 G80 test vehicle shows 11,000 miles on the odometer. It’s been driven. And frankly, this review could be titled “Used Genesis G80 holds up well under abuse,” knowing that this ultimate sport sedan has been beaten and abused by the press corp.

We try out the newest Genesis trim and give it two thumbs up.

Spy shots out of California appear to show the Genesis G70 sedan, which will slot below the G80 and G90.

Weighing in at close to 5,000 lbs, Hyundai's luxury division Genesis G90 is a reminder of how comfortable and accommodating a posh full size sedan drive and ride experience can be. But can a non-hybrid car this large, this posh, also be fuel efficient and sport-drive-competent?
