NISSAN NOW WARNING LEFT LANE HOGS, COROLLA GRMN SPIED, TOYOTA DROPS PRIME NAME + MORE! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly automotive news update covers a range of compelling topics, with a particular highlight on Nissan's innovative ProPilot Assist 2.1 software. The system's ability to warn drivers about lingering in the left lane is lauded as a significant advancement for road discipline, though its $3,200 cost on the Rogue, Armada, and QX80 is noted. The update also features the spied Toyota Corolla GRMN, the surprising discontinuation of Toyota's 'Prime' badging for plug-in hybrids, and teasers for the 2026 Honda Passport and 2025 Ford Expedition. Chrysler's reintroduction of the Voyager for 2025 is met with skepticism due to its dated styling and seemingly high MSRP compared to competitors and even the current Pacifica. Stellantis' search for a new CEO and a patent for fold-out tables are also discussed. Volvo's commitment to plug-in hybrids and EVs, Rolls-Royce's electric future, and potential US restrictions on vehicles with Chinese software round out the news.
