INFINITI'S 4 NEW MODELS COMING SOON, HYUNDAI WORKING ON ELECTRIC TRUCK + MORE! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers a range of automotive news, with a significant focus on Infiniti's upcoming product strategy. The brand is reportedly planning four new models by the end of 2026, including a luxurious, V6-powered QX80 starting above $100,000, a coupe version of the QX60 called the QX65, and two EVs: a sedan reviving the Q70 nameplate and a mid-size electric crossover. While the return of a sedan is noted as brave given market trends, the overall product offensive is deemed potentially underwhelming by some dealers and the reviewer, who suggests Infiniti needs more volume-oriented models. The update also highlights Hyundai's ambitious plans for its second-generation EV platform, supporting 13 models by 2030, including a potential electric pickup truck. Other news includes the Ferrari SF90 XX, Lamborghini Urus going PHEV-only, Aston Martin's partnership with Lucid for high-performance EVs, Volvo adopting NACS, the discontinuation of the VW Beetle, rumors about the new Toyota Land Cruiser, a final edition G500, teasers for the next-gen AMG GT and BMW M5 Touring, the new BMW X1 M35i, and the European-spec Toyota C-HR.
