00:00As the world becomes more connected, so do our cars.
00:04The latest vehicles of 2024 offer advanced connectivity features and seamless integration
00:09with our digital lives.
00:12And these are the top anticipated 2024 car models that you might like too.
00:18Audi Q6 e-tron The Q6 e-tron is Audi's latest all-new electric
00:24SUV that is truly a performance and design masterpiece.
00:29Audi has been quite busy when it comes to electric vehicles, and it looks like they
00:32are taking the fight one step further with the new Q6 e-tron.
00:36So far, the design of the test units that have been spotted reveal its unique design
00:41language that Audi has built for this particular vehicle.
00:44Furthermore, Audi has confirmed that its Q6 e-tron will carry a massive 800-volt electrical
00:49system.
00:50It will also have two design variations, one regular crossover SUV shape and a sloped back
00:56version that gives a more sporty vibe.
00:59Judging by the number attached to the name, this should be a middle ground from what the
01:03Q4 and Q8 e-tron offer.
01:07Fisker Pair How would you feel if you could buy a really
01:11decent electric car from Fisker for around $30,000?
01:16Since its announcement last year, Fisker has continued to drop snippets regarding the Fisker
01:21Pair.
01:22Over 5,000 reservations that have already been made for this budget crossover, which
01:26will start at around $30,000, is proof that the teasers are working.
01:31With around 250 miles of estimated range, most future Pair owners will probably never
01:36need more than that.
01:37The anticipation and excitement are as intense as they could ever be.
01:41When Fisker Ocean became the highly anticipated Tesla Model Y alternative, we knew that the
01:46company could definitely make a smaller size EV for much cheaper than Ocean.
01:51At the moment, we do know that the design of Fisker Pair is pushing boundaries with
01:55its architecture, solar panel roof, and a Houdini trunk.
01:59The only hope right now is that Fisker won't raise prices due to supply chain costs, spikes,
02:04and so on.
02:05If Fisker will be able to do it, then millions of new orders are destined to go to Fisker.
02:12Lincoln Star As usual, Lincoln is presenting one of the
02:16best looking SUV designs you will ever see, but this time it's fully electric.
02:22The jaw-dropping new electric SUV called Lincoln Star is designed as a futuristic self-driving
02:28SUV with fully electric dashboard and infotainment screens.
02:32Apart from the fact that it looks like an SUV that was imported from outer space on
02:36the outside, the interior concept is about as amazing as it can get.
02:41From the full-width display that covers the dashboard to the well-carved front seat and
02:46bucket seats at the back.
02:47There may also be an expensive beverage chiller, crystal touches, and trim pieces in rose gold.
02:53While there's a high chance that a lot of these may be excluded from the production
02:57unit, it would be great to see what would be left in it.
03:00The Lincoln Star is expected to arrive in 2024 as a 2025 model, and we already know
03:06that it'll be available in the options of either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive with
03:10an estimated price tag of $70,000.
03:15Genesis GV90 Taking the luxury EV-SUV conversation to
03:21a whole new level is the new 2024 Genesis GV90.
03:26It is the brand's first attempt at a three-row electric SUV, and it's said to be their flagship SUV.
03:32Genesis has always been great with its design appeal, and all that inspiration will also
03:36be transported to the GV90, so hopes are high.
03:41At the moment, we know that the GV90 will share the same powertrain as the upcoming
03:45Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 7.
03:48This should produce impressive results on the step of the pedal, as well as an impressive
03:52range of around 300 miles on a single charge minimum.
03:55Genesis will also benefit from a 350kW fast-charging infrastructure of Hyundai Motor Group, just
04:02like two other brands like Kia and Hyundai.
04:05Most importantly, Genesis promised to keep the luxury standards throughout the interior
04:09and exterior of this three-row SUV.
04:13Polestar 2 2024 will be a special year for both Polestar
04:19as a company and the new upgraded Polestar 2.
04:22According to the company newsletter, the Polestar 2 will get an increase in power, range, improved
04:27sustainability and have a rear-wheel drive RWD model optional.
04:33The 2024 Polestar 2 will be available in four main models, standard-range single motor,
04:39long-range dual motor with performance pack, long-range single motor, and long-range dual
04:43motor.
04:44Polestar is increasing the EV's range for 2024.
04:48You could be getting as much as 395 miles in some variants.
04:52Still, charging rates are stuck at 205kW unfortunately, a little slower than Tesla's supercharging
04:59speeds.
05:01Kia EV5 If you're going to buy a crossover EV SUV,
05:06then you may want to wait a little bit for the all-new Kia EV5.
05:11This one is bound to be a delight.
05:13If Kia's recent press releases are anything to go by, then we can expect great things
05:18from the EV5.
05:19So far, major specs and numbers are kept secret, but the overall design direction has Kia fans
05:25on a high.
05:26It draws most of its inspiration from the earlier announced EV9, and we have to say
05:31that this is very well done.
05:33From the amazing design on the outside to a very unusual design on the inside as well.
05:38The rear-hinged doors swing open to reveal a very spacious cabin with seats that turn
05:43in different directions.
05:45Considering that this is still a concept design and not the final production unit of the vehicle,
05:49we do expect a few things to be toned down.
05:52But you have to give Kia credit for being so aggressive with EV options you can buy
05:56from them.
05:58BMW i5
06:01The new 2024 BMW i5 may possibly be the most versatile vehicle that BMW has ever designed.
06:08While it'll be fully electric, the German car brand has designed the structure of the
06:12powertrain to fit any condition.
06:14Whether they decide to build a plug-in hybrid version or do a fully gasoline or diesel setup,
06:19they could easily fit it into the same structure.
06:22According to BMW, they intend to have the 2024 i5 be a car that can work in any condition,
06:28lifestyle, and consumer preference.
06:30The 5 Series has always been one of BMW's most popular lines, so the intention is to
06:35give consumers something new to gush over.
06:38We do expect great things from this one, as BMW has a pretty strong record to go by.
06:43The official launch of this new series is set to be sometime in 2024, and we expect
06:48the all-new BMW i5 to match or exceed its direct rival Mercedes-Benz EQE.
06:55Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV
06:59Mercedes unveiled a fully electric SUV that was the more potent AMG model, giving the
07:045-seater up to 671 horsepower and 500 kilowatts.
07:09The two variants each have their front fascias, while the standard EQE SUV has a closed-off
07:15grille with a star motif.
07:17AMG's face has vertical accents with a Panamericana grille-inspired appearance.
07:23The interiors of the two vehicles are similar, and both come with the brand's optional
07:27Hyperscreen display.
07:30Mercedes will also provide four trim levels for the Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV, from the base
07:35350 plus to the AMG.
07:38The rear-wheel drive 350 plus will have a single motor producing 288 horsepower, 214
07:44kilowatts, and 417 pound-feet of torque, or 565 newton-meters of torque.
07:50Mercedes will sell the 536 horsepower or 392 kilowatts EQE 500 SUV and the dual-motor
07:57EQE 350 4MATIC.
08:00Customization will allow new Mercedes EQE owners to determine price as well as how long
08:05their vehicle can go when fully charged.
08:08Dodge Charger
08:10When the next-generation Charger goes on sale for the 2024 model year, it will be an entirely
08:15new car for the Dodge lineup.
08:17A four-door model will also be added to the roster, but we'll learn more about either
08:21vehicle closer to its debut.
08:23There will most likely be more trim levels for the 2024 Charger, but we only know of
08:27three for now.
08:29The number of engines that will power the various trims of the new Charger is still
08:33to be disclosed by Dodge, but the base 340 model is expected to produce 455 horsepower,
08:38while the mid-range 440 model is expected to produce 590 horsepower.
08:43An all-wheel drive 800-volt architecture will be used by a high-performance trim known
08:48as SRT Banshee, although the model's horsepower capacity has yet to be disclosed.
08:54We also know that the initial prototype employs a multi-speed transmission rather than the
08:59traditional EV direct-drive system.
09:02Strong acceleration also gives the driver the impression of a gear shift.
09:06Kia EV9
09:09Early 2024 is when the 2024 Kia EV9 is anticipated to appear.
09:14The 2024 Kia EV9 will be built on the EV6's popularity while being a big-brother SUV with
09:20three rows.
09:21Interestingly, there will be five different trim options for the EV9 with a starting price
09:26of about $55,000.
09:28When built with max options, it should have roughly 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet
09:33of torque.
09:34If you want the top potent version of this EV, those are not bad numbers for a three-row
09:39family SUV.
09:41For Kia, it's crucial to have a family EV in the fleet as the auto industry embraces
09:45electrification more and more.
09:48That will be the 2024 Kia EV9.
09:51Depending on how the interior is set up, it will most likely have seats for six or seven
09:55people as a three-row SUV.
09:58Buick Electra E5
10:01Finally, Buick is also getting into the electric car race with this new Electra E5.
10:07Interestingly, this SUV will run on an Ultium battery platform that is designed by General
10:11Motors.
10:12It may also be similar in specs to the Cadillac Lyric, but a more budget version.
10:17The Electra SUV is expected to have between 350-400 horsepower depending on trims and
10:22feature level.
10:23The design of the new Buick EV is quite balanced.
10:27On the outside, you're getting a good mixture of a traditional design and the futuristic
10:30style of an electric car.
10:32The interior, on the other hand, looks absolutely amazing and unique for the Buick brand.
10:37The style, color theme, space, multi-colored ambient lighting, and a curved 30-inch infotainment
10:43display.
10:44This is bound to be a pretty cool SUV for both China and US markets.
10:49Hyundai IONIQ 7
10:52The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 7, an all-electric SUV resembling the three-row Hyundai Palisade,
10:58is the new electric car Hyundai plans to use as a trigger for deep market penetration.
11:04This vehicle will have a seating capacity of 7 or 8.
11:07The Hyundai IONIQ 7 model is one of the three new electric vehicles the company is already
11:12committed to releasing in the following years.
11:15There's no official word on the vehicle's release, although three trim levels might
11:18be anticipated.
11:20Because the company is concentrating on producing a vehicle that has a driving range of 300
11:24miles minimum, it's anticipated that this vehicle will feature a huge usable capacity
11:28battery and a 350 kilowatt fast charger will be included.
11:33Pretty decent performance, but for a much cheaper price.
11:37Chrysler Airflow
11:40Chrysler may not be the most consistent car brand in the world, but they are trying to
11:44switch up this narrative with an all-new entry.
11:47The Airflow EV concept was already revealed, but what we have right now looks like the
11:51vehicle that is closer to the production model.
11:54The Airflow will have the option of dual motors fitted on the front and rear wheels.
11:59Each of these motors will have about 201 horsepower.
12:02This already sounds exciting, and I look forward to seeing how Chrysler optimizes the drive
12:07to get the best out of these powerful electric motors.
12:10The brand has already mentioned that this SUV is getting a 118 kWh battery pack that
12:15gets you around 400 miles of range, which is a pretty good number and also in the range
12:20of some of the longest-lasting EVs already in the market.
12:24There are a ton of futuristic features in the interior of the Airflow, and if they are
12:29able to get anywhere close to this concept model, we've got an almost sci-fi looking
12:34EV on our hands.
12:36Genesis GV70
12:40With everything turning electric in 2024, Genesis has decided to fully electrify its
12:44premium V6 engine GV70 SUV.
12:48And many people will probably consider it as their next luxury electric SUV.
12:52If you already like how the gas-powered GV70 looks, then you'll be happy to know that
12:56not a lot has changed in its upcoming electrified version on the exterior.
13:01If you don't, well, you may want to look at it again because this masterpiece SUV stands
13:06out from the crowd.
13:07Also, you will be glad to know that the mechanical makeup of the electrified GV70 will offer
13:13just about the same feel as driving its gas-powered counterpart, which will make it easy for people
13:18transitioning from gas to electric.
13:20As for specs, you are getting a 77.5kW battery that should last around 250-300 miles of driving
13:27on a single charge.
13:28Also, with the dual-motor all-wheel drive version, you should be packing about 429hp.
13:35With the 2024 Genesis GV70 electric, the luxury SUV segment is going to get even more competitive.
13:42Volkswagen ID.Buzz
13:46While there are tons of big and small EVs on the market, the one department that seems
13:50to be getting the least attention is the large families that would like to quit gas.
13:55On that note, Volkswagen has decided to fill the gap with the 2024 Volkswagen ID.Buzz.
14:01Grabbing inspiration from the older Type 2 microbus, this offers a nostalgic vintage
14:05vibe on the outside while hosting massive space on the inside with free-for-all seating
14:10in three rows.
14:12This fully electric van will come in both all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive options.
14:16The brand is currently aiming to get the 2024 ID.Buzz to as high as 260 miles of range.
14:23The base-level single-motor rear-wheel drive ID.Buzz will produce about 201hp.
14:29As for the higher dual-motor trim with all-wheel drive, you should get as high as 295hp.
14:35As long as Volkswagen can pull these numbers off, this would be an amazing accomplishment
14:39for a vehicle this size.
14:42GMC Sierra EV Here is an all-new electric GMC truck that
14:48boasts pretty cool numbers in every category.
14:52The Sierra EV will be released in a single most premium Denali Edition 1 trim.
14:58It will be powered by a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup that produces 754hp.
15:03GMC confirmed that its Sierra EV will last for a total of 400 miles from a full charge
15:09and its maximum towing capacity is set at 9,500 lbs.
15:13Combine these with the stunning exterior and luxury premium interior on the inside, you'll
15:18be paying around $100,000 for the 2024 GMC Sierra EV.
15:23Is it worth it?
15:25You can decide on it when it comes out very soon.
15:28Hyundai IONIQ 5 The 2024 IONIQ 5 is supposed to be a higher
15:34voltage version of the 2023 IONIQ 5 that was already pretty good.
15:39If you want a vehicle that offers even crazier performance numbers, Hyundai is adding the
15:43extra power with its IONIQ 5 N variant.
15:46This time, drivers are getting dual electric motors that are tapped to produce around 600hp.
15:52Every other thing will also be significantly upgraded as well.
15:56Larger wheels, bigger brakes, wider fenders, a more sporty nose piece, and a larger rear
16:01diffuser.
16:02This one should be a delight to drive.
16:05It's worth mentioning that the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 5 is getting a massive software update
16:10which is expected to help with customer complaints made in the previous year model.
16:14Hyundai is also planning to reveal a smaller variant of this performance EV, but it's not
16:18going to be revealed until 2025.
16:22Honda Prologue While Honda may not have the most popular
16:26brand when it comes to electric cars, it does look like they are on the brink of a breakthrough
16:30with the 2024 Prologue SUV.
16:33The company has revealed what this SUV is like, and not so much info on what it can
16:37do on the drive.
16:39The only thing we can say for sure is that it's platform will be mainly collaborated
16:43with General Motors, so expectations are high for this one.
16:47Design wise, the 2024 Honda Prologue already snatches a good grade.
16:52You're getting a pretty cool compact SUV that can offer more space than the smaller models
16:56without the bulk of a big size SUV.
16:59A pretty interesting choice by the Japanese automaker.
17:02If you like a minimalist design, the Prologue makes for a perfect choice.
17:07The concept models so far show off a great blend of functionality, aesthetics, and simplicity.
17:12We cannot wait to see what comes next with about a $45,000 price tag.
17:18VinFast VF7 The VF7 is VinFast's response to the Toyota
17:24BZ4X, which suggests that it may end up being a possible best fan favorite of VinFast's
17:30electric SUVs.
17:32The VF7 should appeal to a wide range of electric SUV buyers because it's compact enough for
17:37confined urban environments, but substantially large enough to compete on the open road.
17:43VinFast will be offered in Eco and Plus versions, just like the smaller VF6.
17:48349hp and 368lb-ft of torque are anticipated to be produced by the more potent dual-motor
17:55all-wheel drive Plus variant.
17:57Regarding the front-drive single-motor VF7 Eco, expect the same 201hp and 228lb-ft of
18:04torque, but hopefully something more optimized to offer a little more punch.
18:09Details about battery pack capacity and EV system charging are not yet available.
18:14The VF7 will be marketed as an upscale electric crossover with options including premium vegan
18:20leather upholstery trim and a panoramic sunroof.
18:23A front LED light bar with animated effects and rear trademark LED lights are among its
18:28exterior features.
18:30Each VF7 will also be equipped with various active driver assistance systems.
18:36RAM 1500 REV After getting rumored and teased for nearly
18:40a year, we finally know what RAM's incoming EV truck will look like on the US roads.
18:46While the newly revealed production version of the RAM 1500 REV is not as imposing as
18:51its initial concept reveals, it still comes with the futuristic aesthetic that seems to
18:55be customary with EVs.
18:57For RAM drivers who wouldn't want to go too far from what they're used to already,
19:01the good news is that it still looks just like a good old RAM truck, just electric.
19:07The promised 500 miles range will make the RAM EV truck the longest range pickup truck
19:12with a battery.
19:13One downside here is that a toned down design also means that a lot of the features that
19:18came with the outlandish concept design may also be getting ripped.
19:22RAM is keeping most of the important information regarding the 1500 REV as exclusive as possible,
19:27and it may remain that way for a couple more weeks or months.
19:31All I can confirm right now is that the design still gets a trunk in the front, similar to
19:35its rival electric pickup trucks.
19:38Afila EV This joint effort between Honda and Sony looks
19:44like it's up for a massive debut with the 2026 Afila electric car.
19:49Afila's powertrain details will be available later, but we already know how much tech will
19:54be going into this unique EV.
19:56Do not be fooled by the simple minimalistic design on the outside.
20:01This EV will come with about 45 cameras and sensors in different parts of the vehicle
20:06that I believe are supposed to aid several features, including self-driving.
20:11Yep, autonomous self-driving.
20:14Hopefully we don't have to pay extra money to access the features.
20:18I'm also expecting a powerful computer that will run the infotainment system that has
20:22been designed in partnership with Epic Games, and driver assistance.
20:27Big tech giant Sony working with a traditional auto manufacturer Honda is a match made in
20:32heaven, but let's see how it will turn out.
20:36Cadillac Celestic For many years, the Cadillac has struggled
20:40to compete with European luxury brands.
20:43Still, it has persevered as seen by the release of its new electric flagship, the new 2024
20:49Celestic Luxury Sedan.
20:51Although this stunning vehicle resembles the new Lyric EV SUV in terms of family resemblance,
20:57it stands out thanks to its slender lines, sweeping roof, and bustling rear end.
21:02The designers at Cadillac claim to have combined historical design cues with cutting-edge technologies
21:07that forecast the future course of the American luxury brand.
21:11The interior decor is equally as dramatic as the exterior, and the cabin dazzles with
21:16vividly colored leather, a 55-inch digital dashboard, and bucket seats designed in the
21:22Eames style.
21:23A small group of artisans will hand-build each Celestic as the line assembles them.
21:28According to the EPA, the Ultium battery pack that powers the Celestic is big enough to
21:33provide around 300 miles of driving range per charge.
21:37According to Cadillac, a 200-kilowatt connection will give the battery a range of 78 miles
21:41in just 10 minutes.
21:44Hyundai Kona Hyundai is now prepared to introduce the new
21:49crossover generation, which will hit American shores for the 2024 model year.
21:54There will be four different variants.
21:56Unsurprisingly, we're getting an EV version now.
22:00Then there's the purely combustion-powered, a hybrid, and the inline.
22:05Hyundai's designers first created the new Kona EV before incorporating the design into
22:10the other models.
22:11They all have a recognizable light bar along the edge of the hood up front.
22:16Below this strip on the corners are the headlights.
22:19The 2024 Hyundai Kona retains both of its four-cylinder engines from the previous generation.
22:24A 147-horsepower, 2-liter engine will be the base model, with a turbocharged 1.6-liter
22:30four-cylinder engine offered as an option.
22:33The hybrid drivetrain, revealed for the Kona in other regions, might also be available.
22:39Rolls-Royce Spectre The hallmark of a Rolls-Royce has always
22:44been quiet, smooth propulsion.
22:47It has had a V12 engine ever since the company's brand was incorporated into the BMW Group
22:52in 2003.
22:54But other than nostalgia for gasoline, there are a few reasons why switching to an all-electric
23:00power won't enhance the distinctive Rolls-Royce experience.
23:04The first-ever 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre EV fills that gap.
23:09The luxury brand makes the front and rear electric motors for the Spectre.
23:14They produce 664 pound-feet of torque and 577 horsepower.
23:19A battery that has a capacity of more than 100 kilowatt-hours provides power.
23:23Although it has a different design, the battery has the same chemistry as the BMW iX M60.
23:30According to Rolls-Royce, the Spectre's anticipated range on a full charge is 320 miles.
23:35By applying the WLTP standard, which is utilized in Europe, although EPA estimates can vary
23:41slightly, a range of about 300 miles is reasonable.
23:44A sprint from 0 to 60 mph takes 4.4 seconds.
23:48However, a Rolls-Royce isn't about violence and is unsuitable for drag strip competitions
23:54against a Tesla.
23:56Acura ZDX This is clearly Acura's first major attempt
24:02to join the EV movement.
24:04However, expectations are already high for the 2024 Acura ZDX.
24:08There's been some chatter about the 2024 ZDX sharing the same platform with the Cadillac
24:12Lyric.
24:14While that might come as a shock, it should not distract you from the bigger picture.
24:18The Cadillac Lyric is a pretty amazing ride, and if that's anything to go by, then we
24:22may be getting the 2024 ZDX with around 500 horsepower at its most powerful stage.
24:28Acura has not yet stated what the battery capacity will be.
24:31Nevertheless, the 2024 Acura ZDX may be getting the same 102 kilowatt-hour battery from the
24:36Lyric.
24:37So, we're also looking forward to the range in the 300 mile per charge region.
24:42The 2024 ZDX is expected to retail at about $60,000 to $70,000 for its base model, and
24:48we're looking forward to how that turns out in production.
