Today the first-drive reviews of the all-new, all-electric Kia EV6 are beginning to trickle out. This is the first EV on Kia’s side of the e-GMP electric architecture, but it isn’t their first electric car altogether. That would be the Niro.

Alfa Romeo has released another video teasing the production Tonale, a subcompact crossover coming to slot beneath the Stelvio while running on the brand’s first hybrid/PHEV powertrain.

For many people on the fence about the return of the Acura Integra, one area of much scrutiny has been how far Acura went in differentiating it from the Civic upon which it is based. Today we have further proof that there is going to be a lot of Civic DNA onboard, as spy shots from Instagram user @DERPHOUND01 show off the production interior looking extremely similar to the little Honda’s. More on this over at Car And Driver.
Lotus’ latest new cars include the Evija electric hypercar and the Emira mid-engined sports car. Next in line is what, thanks to the teaser released today, appears to be a second coming of the iconic Espirit. It will benefit from a partnership with Britishvolt, a company that will produce the battery cells specifically for this model and future electric Lotus models. The brand’s focus on weight-reduction will continue with the help of denser battery tech and faster charging systems. MotorTrend has more on this here.
