Electric vehicles

If the Fisker Ocean can live up to its promises and survive what is currently a very challenging manufacturing environment, the Model Y may have another worthy challenger.

In addition to being Subaru’s first all-electric vehicle, the 2023 Solterra SUV will come with new safety features, mild off-roading capability with standard all-wheel drive and generous ground clearance.

Although the Hyundai Seven Concept appears far from production-ready, the concept hints at the future SUV’s styling, size and range.

The Ariya’s base price is close to but higher than other mainstream EV SUVs like the Ford Mustang Mach-E (43,995) and Volkswagen ID.4 ($41,190), though with more standard estimated range.

Toyota claims the single-motor, front-wheel drive bZ4X XLE model will have 250 miles of range, with (likely lower) figures still to come for other FWD trims and the dual-motor AWD version.

The GMC Hummer EV’s CrabWalk allows all four wheels to be turned in the same direction up to a 10-degree angle, and when the driver hits the throttle, the vehicle will move diagonally.

It’s our opinion that the Tesla Model Y is the benchmark for small electric SUVs. Now that we’ve bought one, we’re putting it to the test.

Subaru says the Solterra will arrive in the U.S. by mid-2022, where it will compete against the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volkswagen ID.4 and its familial rival, the Toyota bZ4X.

The largest infrastructure package in decades encompasses commuter concerns like electric-vehicle charging and substantial improvement projects for roads, bridges and public transit.

Global details for Toyota’s bZ4X all-electric SUV are finally available, and the automaker’s first electric vehicle promises to be an interesting experience.
