Kia’s growing lineup of electric vehicles, ranging from affordable SUVs to vans, helped power the automaker to its best first-half sales performance on record.

Kia is trading in its flagship sedan after 14 years to focus on smaller, more affordable electric vehicles.

GM halted shipments and issued a recall for nearly 15,000 Cadillac Vistiq SUVs. The recall is due to faulty third-row seats that could trap passengers, similar to the issue with the Hyundai Palisade.

The IONIQ 5 is one of the most popular EVs right now outside of Tesla, and now Hyundai’s three-row electric SUV is finding its niche.

The Seal 08 boasts “the power of a million-dollar vehicle,” but can be bought for under $30,000 in China. After it went on sale last week, locked-in orders for BYD’s new flagship electric sedan reached around 65,000 in its first 30 hours.

The IONIQ 5 is steadily carving out a spot among the most popular EVs in the US. Hyundai moved over 20,000 IONIQ 5s in the first half of 2026, putting it ahead of much of the pack.

The Volkswagen ID. Tiguan is expected to debut later this year, bringing much more than just a new look and name.

The PV5 is proving again why it’s the ultimate people mover. Kia converted its electric van into an off-grid racing simulator rig with a massive 55″ screen.

The Trailseeker was Subaru’s best-selling electric SUV last month. Starting at under $40,000, the “go-anywhere, rugged SUV” offers a spacious interior, standard AWD, and a combined 375 horsepower.

The IONIQ 3 is a high-tech, fully electric hatch that the US will miss out on. It can drive over 300 miles on a single charge and is Hyundai’s first vehicle in Europe to use its new Pleos Connect infotainment system.

Kia is dropping the Niro EV from its 2027 US lineup and will only sell the hybrid version. The EV3 will replace it later this year as Kia’s most affordable electric vehicle.

Jeep is bringing its electric off-roader to Europe. The Recon EV will go on sale in early 2027 as Jeep goes on the offensive with three additional SUVs arriving.

Toyota will at least partially compensate suppliers after the scrapped flagship Lexus EV caused an “unprecedented” impact.

Just months after arriving at dealerships, Subaru’s new electric SUVs are outselling the Solterra.

The new 2026 bZ has emerged as one of America’s best-selling EVs, outselling several of Toyota’s popular SUVs.

GM’s best-selling Chevy Equinox EV took a hit after sales dropped 41% in the first half of 2026. The new Chevy Bolt EV and Cadillac’s luxury electric SUVs helped soften the blow.

The new Storm edition variant offers “more bang for your buck,” Kia said after introducing the new special edition model.

The GV90 will go on sale as the largest and most lavish Genesis SUV yet. Genesis announced an official launch date for the GV90 ahead of its upcoming debut.

BYD’s new full-size electric SUV features an industry-first anti-motion-sickness mode for all passengers.

BMW revealed the new X5 on Tuesday, including the first all-electric iX5. The iX5 adopts the Neue Klasse style and tech with an impressive range of up to 525 miles on a single charge.

The world’s top-selling automaker is feeling the impact of rising gas prices. Toyota reported its fourth straight month of lower global sales in May, as EVs continued to drive growth.

Kia’s first electric van, the PV5, is set to go on sale in Canada soon. Kia said the P5 is yet another affordable EV the company plans to launch in 2026.

BMW will officially unveil the iX5 on June 30, but we are already getting an early look after images leaked online.

Jeep’s electric off-roader is now on sale, starting at $67,000, but its driving range comes up a bit short of expectations.
