Among the cars hitting the showroom floors in 2023 are the highly anticipated Tesla Cybertruck, Fisker Ocean, and Chevrolet Silverado EV, but more down-to-earth models like the refreshed Hyundai Kona, Chevy Blazer and Nissan Ariya are also on this list.
2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6
Sitting on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, the sleek-looking Ioniq 6 will be available in the spring, with a maximum estimated range of 340 miles, a max power output of 320 horsepower, all-wheel drive and a 0-60 mph sprint in five seconds.
A 77.4 kWh battery provides power through an 800-volt architecture and can be fully charged in seven hours when using the included 10.9 kWh charger. Connected to a 350 kW fast charger, the Ioniq 6 can top up from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes.
2024 Hyundai Kona Electric
It’s an all-new generation, with more space inside and a fresh exterior design. Details are still scarce, but Hyundai did show the interior and mentioned it would feature 12.3-inch dual wide displays, as well as a so-called Curveless Bench Seat.
2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N
Basically a performance version of the Ioniq 5, it’s expected to come with a sportier suspension setup, as well as more power than the “regular” Ioniq 5. There’s nothing official regarding the powertrain yet, but it would make sense for Hyundai to use parts from the Kia EV6 GT, which has 576 horsepower and 545 pound-feet of torque.
2024 Kia EV9
Based on the same E-GMP platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Ioniq 5, Kia’s biggest electric SUV is scheduled to make an official appearance in the second half of the year. With an estimated price of around $50,000, the EV9 will offer Telluride-levels of space, three-row seating and fast charging.
2023 Genesis Electrified GV70
As the name suggests, this is the all-electric version of the GV70 SUV, and it’s also the first-ever Genesis manufactured in the U.S. Official details for the U.S.-bound model are yet to be released, but we have the South Korean specs at hand, and they should be similar to what’s going to be available in America.
The 77.4 kWh battery powers a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup that outputs a maximum of 320 kW (360 kW in Boost Mode). The sprint from zero to 62 miles per hour takes 4.5 seconds with Boost Mode activated, and the battery pack can fast charge from 0% to 80% in 18 minutes.
2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV
One of the biggest rivals to the Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy’s EV truck is set to bring a whole lot of power to the electric truck game, with a maximum of 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque, as well as an impressive 400 miles of range.
The Chevy Silverado EV is scheduled for launch in the fall of 2023, with a towing capacity of up to 20,000 pounds and an estimated MSRP of $39,900 for the Silverado EV TW and RST variants.
2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV
With a starting price of $44,995, the new Blazer EV will offer up to 557 horsepower and as much as 320 miles on one charge, depending on the trim level. There’s also a peculiar selection of powertrain options: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. It will be available in summer 2023.
2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV
Hitting the showroom floor in fall 2023, the all-electric Equinox will start at around $30,000 for the base, front-wheel drive trim level. More expensive, all-wheel drive variants will also be on offer, with up to 290 horsepower and 346 pound-feet.
2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV
The SUV version of the Hummer EV pickup should see the light of day in the first half of this year, although it’s a bittersweet situation, as the Edition 1 version has been sold out for some time now.
In any case, reservation holders should finally receive their 830-horsepower electric SUVs and put the 300-mile range to the test, along with all the off-road goodies GMC is touting, like the awesome Crabwalk.
