Kia EV9 vs. Hyundai Ioniq 9: Same Platform, Bigger Battery, and a Price Gap That Flips
Hyundai Motor Group's three-row EV twins share a platform but not a battery. Trim for trim, the Ioniq 9 often gives you more range for little or no extra money.

Revenue rose 38% and software kept Rivian in gross profit, but its vehicle business lost $80 million as R2 launch costs piled up.

Bentley's first EV covered more than 1 million test kilometers, and the company now reveals the battery's weight and the fire and impact tests the pack had to pass.

The 375-hp electric wagon took the overall title on a list where the Corvette won three categories — its second award this month after Wards.

Cox puts the used EV premium at $2,137 and shrinking. With regular at $4.23 and home charging at 18 cents, that gap disappears in under two years.

Audi doesn't know what is causing the battery fault in 9,048 2024–25 Q4s. It is the second VW Group EV in a month to get the same charging cap.

The cheapest RZ costs $8,050 more than the cheapest EV6. Matched by drivetrain, the gap falls to $650–$4,225, and the Kia still goes farther and charges faster.

The three-row EV starts at $54,990 before a $1,645 destination charge, with four trims up by $90 to $190 and the Land now bundling the Nightfall package and Boost torque.

All seven trims carry 2026 stickers and the $1,545 destination fee into 2027, with no new equipment. The cheaper EV3 and a $39,990 Model Y Standard now bracket it.

The fourth installment of Genesis's GV90 engineering series moves to the factory floor. It shows a 72-percent-aluminum body, robotic inspection, and a roller-rig wind test for every SUV.

The 2027 RZ starts at $47,495 with destination, carries over all three powertrains and range estimates, and reaches dealers in early 2027. NACS and M Mode arrived a year ago.

Genesis' second GV90 engineering briefing answers what the coach doors raised: a 72-percent-aluminum body, a roof that holds nearly 31,000 pounds, and a Neolun stiffer than the swing-door GV90.

Both start within $5 of $40,000. Ford adds 88 kWh and free lane centering; Tesla has an EPA rating, native Superchargers, and a $99 FSD subscription.

Every 2027 Mach-E now uses the extended-range pack, the Select RWD still starts under $40,000, and a new Trail package borrows hardware from the Rally.

Genesis's latest GV90 briefing explains the hidden-pillar coach doors, the door-activated startup, and a lounge with swiveling seats and Korean-style floor heating. U.S. pricing is still missing.

The launch edition of Bentley's first EV uses the 876-hp Torcal S powertrain and bundles powered doors, a switchable sunroof, and 28-speaker Naim audio as standard.

Profit fell 43% and R&D jumped 69%, while unsupervised driving for owners' cars slipped to around mid-2027. Here is what that means for FSD and Model Y prices.

On matched laps, the 544-hp Polestar 4 was barely quicker than the Rear motor, but it needed 15% less steering effort and drivers scored it far higher.

A reported 509-hp Outback-bodied prototype is Subaru's first EV engineered without Toyota. The real story is Panasonic cells, a 2029 date, and what Honda and Mazda already got wrong.

The electric X5 can take far more power than any public charger in the U.S. delivers today. Here's what that means for buyers in 2027.
