Subaru Getaway debuts as a 420-horsepower three-row EV SUV with a 95.8kWh battery offering 300+ miles, competing with Toyota’s upcoming Highlander EV. Its 150kW charging speed limits rapid refueling to 30 minutes for 20-80% charge, with a lower-cost 77kWh variant slated for 2027. Hyundai Boulder Concept marks the brand’s 40th U.S. anniversary, showcasing a “Art of Steel” design ethos and hinting at a 2030 midsize pickup. While not a full BEV, its body-on-frame structure suggests hybrid potential. Kia EV3 arrives in the U.S. in 2027, offering a 58.3kWh base model (~$35k) and a 320-mile premium variant.

Its 400V architecture limits charging speed but includes vehicle-to-load tech for powering tools or homes. Genesis GV60 Magma elevates the Ioniq 5 platform with exclusive 21-inch wheels, aerodynamic tweaks, and a molten orange paint job, set for mid-2026 production. Polestar 4 Arctic Circle Edition dazzles with yellow paint, ski racks, and cold-weather features but remains a one-off for the F. A. T.

Ice Race. Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT blends off-road readiness with HTRAC AWD and orange tow hooks, sacrificing 10 miles of range for rugged versatility. Corvette CX Concept teases an electrified hypercar future, while Rolls-Royce Spectre (6,500 lbs, 277-mile range) redefines luxury EV practicality.
