EV Channels Review

This weekly automotive news update covers a range of exciting potential releases and updates. The primary focus is on the rumored Toyota GR Corolla, which is expected to feature a 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 257 horsepower. However, a significant point of discussion is the potential omission of the GR Yaris's all-wheel-drive system, which could impact its competitiveness against rivals like the GTI. The reviewer also touches on potential electrified variants. The update also details significant improvements to the Hyundai Veloster N, including a new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission with advanced shifting modes, optional lightweight bucket seats, and upgraded infotainment. Other news includes potential production versions of Hyundai's Prophecy and 45 concepts, a leaked roadmap for future Corvettes with increasing power and electrification, Tesla's software update improving Model S/X acceleration, and updates on the Cybertruck's size and suspension. Land Rover's P300e PHEV models, the revealed 2021 Audi A3 Sedan, the compact Toyota Yaris Cross for Europe, a leaked 2021 Nissan Rogue, a teased 2022 VW Tiguan with potential performance and hybrid variants, a Subaru/Toyota electric SUV project dubbed 'Evoltis', and the potential discontinuation of V6 and diesel engines for the 2023 Chevy Colorado are also covered.
