![]() ![]() Volvo goes small with the upcoming EX30 EV: The Volvo EX30 will be available with one or two electric motors, producing as much as 422 horsepower. More details are expected by the end of the year. It’s expected to use the same 270-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that’s standard in the Jeep Wrangler, but a 375-horsepower plug-in hybrid system, which is a Wrangler option, could also be available in the Rampage. But the Rampage name, which will be used by Stellantis in South America, is expected to arrive on this continent sometime next year as a 2025 model. The midsizer was thought to be called the Dakota, a nameplate that was dropped nearly 20 years ago. With the midsize pickup segment gaining momentum, the Ram Rampage would make sense for North America. Launching with something more humble such as the VF3 might have been a better and quicker way for VinFast - a total unknown - to establish credibility here. At that price, it’s likely that most premium shoppers will opt for established nameplates from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, etc. VinFast has taken the opposite approach with the bigger VF8 and VF9 electric utility-style models, the latter listing for more than $100,000 in Canada. Other import brands such as Hyundai and Kia started here with inexpensive gateway vehicles that helped build acceptance for the larger and pricier models that followed. ![]() It’s the kind of car that would have made a great first impression on our shores and likely at an attractive price. The two-seat mini-sized model that’s loaded with charm will be sold only in Vietnam. The Vietnam automaker, which recently began exporting vehicles to North America, recently provided details about the VF3. VinFast creates a cute car, but not for here VinFast might be better off arriving in North America with a lower-priced entry model such as the VF3. The new chunkier-looking body has space for up to seven passengers. The full-size body-on-frame model swaps out its 4.6-litre V-8 for a twin-turbocharged 3.4-litre V-6 producing 349 horsepower. The TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid has a 3.5-litre V-6 plus electric motors for an net output of 406 horses and a maximum 33 miles (53 kilometres) of battery-only range.Īlso coming is the redesigned four-wheel-drive 2024 Lexus GX. The three-rows-of-seats TX 350 has a 275-horsepower turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder, while the TX 500h hybrid adds two electric motors for a net 366 horsepower. This includes the TX utility vehicle that is based on the Toyota Grand Highlander, which is also new for 2024. Toyota’s upscale division has been busy of late as it rebuilds and expands its lineup.
