2024 GMC HUMMER SUV EDITION 1:

After announcing the return of Hummer
as an electric pickup, parent company
General Motors in April said it would
also offer a utility version in 2023 for the
2024 model year. The SUV will launch as
a limited-edition model powered by GM's
new Ultium battery technology, providing about 830 horsepower and a range
of up to 480 kilometres. According to
AutoForecast Solutions, GM is expected
to build about 23,000 Hummer SUVs per
year in Detroit.

GENESIS X CONCEPT: This high-performance GT prototype provides a

glimpse of the brand's electrified future. As with Genesis' current production models, the X concept incorporates a " two lines " design language,
seen in the parallel accent lines throughout. The clamshell hood is integrated with the front fenders, " resulting in one clean, sensual and uninterrupted surface, " Genesis said. In a bid to be sustainable, a fabric made of
" leftover pieces of leather from previous manufacturing processes " is used
for the seat belts, airbag cover
and on the steering wheel.

2022 HYUNDAI SANTA CRUZ: Call this small truck a " sport adventure

vehicle, " Hyundai says. The Santa Cruz is built on the same platform as
the Tucson crossover - although the truck is about 33 centimetres longer
- and comes with a four-foot bed. A 281-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-litre
engine drives all four wheels. The pricing in Canada was not available as
of press time, but sibling publication Automotive News reported that the
base trim in the United States " shouldn't be too far from the Tucson. "
The Santa Cruz is expected by summer.

2022 MERCEDES-BENZ EQS: The auto-

maker hopes the new EQS sedan, a reimagined electric version of the S-Class, will
give it a foothold in an increasingly crowded
high-end luxury segment already populated by
the likes of Tesla and Porsche. The EQS will have a
range of about 700 kilometres, according to MercedesBenz Canada, and it will accelerate to 100 km/h from
zero in 4.3 seconds, with a top speed of 210 km/h. It is
expected to arrive in Canada this fall.

LEXUS LF-Z ELECTRIFIED CONCEPT: Toyota's

luxury brand plans to launch 20 " new or improved "
models by 2025, half of which are expected to be electrified
in some way. The LF-Z Electrified concept offers a preview
of what some of those vehicles might look like. The crossover
features a " steer-by-wire " system - meaning there is no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the vehicle's wheels - that
allows for more precise handling than a traditional system, according to Lexus. The
exterior retains a modified version of Lexus's spindle grille. The interior design,
meanwhile, is highly conceptual and minimalist. - ANC
