EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers a range of automotive news, with a significant focus on potential new models and concepts. The most prominent discussion revolves around the rumored return of the Toyota Land Cruiser to the US market, potentially based on the Lexus GX platform. The Porsche Mission X concept is highlighted as a near-production-ready hypercar, with the brand hinting at its potential production. The Volvo EX30 is detailed as an affordable, entry-level electric SUV for the US, praised for its performance (especially the AWD version) and price, but criticized for its lack of a gauge cluster and slow charging speeds. Other news includes the Lexus LBX not coming to the US, the uncertain but possible US arrival of the RAM Rampage compact pickup, Acura's ZDX retaining Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a spy shot of the Acura MDX Type S refresh, GM's partnership with Tesla for charging access (with implications for Tesla owners and charging infrastructure), and special editions of the Chevrolet Camaro marking its production end. The segment also touches on the surprising sell-out of the expensive VW Golf R 333 Edition and a leadership change at Stellantis for Ram and Dodge.
