EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers a range of automotive news, with a significant focus on upcoming performance vehicles. The 2022 Subaru WRX receives its first official teaser, hinting at a redesigned, powerful, and agile model, though styling details are largely expected to mirror the Japanese Levorg. The Hyundai Elantra N is set for a July 14th reveal, promising to bring its Veloster N mechanicals to a new sedan body. A surprising rumor suggests Lexus might offer a GR86 variant, potentially named 'UC' for Urban Coupe, featuring hybrid assistance for increased power. Dodge teases a new muscle car reveal for July 8th, amidst speculation about electrification and new variants of the Charger and Challenger. The cancellation of the Camaro Z/28 is lamented due to low 6th-gen Camaro sales, with the reviewer criticizing GM's focus on niche performance over broader market appeal and practicality. The Silverado ZR2 is confirmed but criticized for potentially lacking a supercharged V8 to compete with rivals. Conversely, the Silverado Electric is detailed, promising over 400 miles of range. Other news includes the Jeep Wrangler Xtreme Recon package, the debut of the BMW 2 Series, the track-focused Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, the Nürburgring-record-holding Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, Volvo's Concept Recharge previewing future EV tech and styling, Honda's Prologue EV built on GM's platform, and various electrification deadlines from Volkswagen, Renault, and Canada. Finally, the BMW i3's production end in the US is noted.
