00:00As we prepare to enter a new era of driving, the cars of 2024 reflect a bold new vision
00:06for the future of transportation, one that is smart, sustainable, and safe.
00:10And these are the most exciting new cars revealed so far.
00:16VinFast VF7 The VF7 is VinFast's response to the Toyota
00:21BZ4X, which suggests that it may end up being a possible best fan favorite of VinFast's
00:27electric SUVs.
00:29The VF7 should appeal to a wide range of electric SUV buyers because it's compact enough for
00:34confined urban environments but substantially large enough to compete on the open road.
00:40VinFast will be offered in Eco and Plus versions, just like the smaller VF6.
00:45349 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque are anticipated to be produced by the more
00:51potent dual-motor all-wheel drive Plus variant.
00:54Regarding the front-drive single-motor VF7 Eco, expect the same 201 horsepower and 228
01:01pound-feet of torque, but hopefully something more optimized to offer a little more punch.
01:06Details about battery pack capacity and EV system charging are not yet available.
01:11The VF7 will be marketed as an upscale electric crossover with options including premium vegan
01:17leather upholstery trim and a panoramic sunroof.
01:20A front LED light bar with animated effects and rear trademark LED lights are among its
01:25exterior features.
01:27Each VF7 will also be equipped with various active driver assistance systems.
01:32Mercedes-Benz EQG
01:36The Mercedes-Benz G-Class developed a reputation as an all-terrain vehicle over several decades
01:41before becoming a six-figure prestige symbol for celebrities.
01:45Now that gas-powered vehicles are becoming less popular, the G-Class is giving birth
01:49to the all-electric EQG.
01:52The EQG maintains the traditional G-Class boxy design and Mercedes claims it will continue
01:57to be a capable all-terrain vehicle.
02:00One electric motor is anticipated to be installed in each wheel of the 2024 Mercedes EQG, and
02:05the battery pack will be integrated within a sturdy, vintage ladder frame.
02:10Four individually controlled electric motors, one near each wheel, are expected to power
02:15the EQG, enhancing both on- and off-road driving capability.
02:19If the design is any indication, the EQG will also include a two-speed gearbox that
02:24can be switched between for off-roading.
02:27Like the gas-powered G-Wagon, the EQG will have a stiff rear axle and a sophisticated
02:32independent front suspension that should improve on-road driving.
02:37This vehicle is already hard to find, and imagine trying to get your hand on an electric
02:41EQG now.
02:43Lucid Gravity
02:45The Gravity electric SUV is the logical next step after the release of the Lucid Air electric
02:50luxury sedan.
02:52The 2024 Lucid Gravity is anticipated to take what the Air offers but adding a higher seating
02:58position, a more spacious cabin, an SUV design, and yes, a higher price.
03:04It will use the same technology as the Air.
03:07The Air sedan serves as the mechanical foundation for the Lucid Gravity SUV.
03:12We anticipate a version with dual electric motors and standard all-wheel drive.
03:17Like the Air, the Gravity will be available in high-performance Grand Touring mode with
03:21up to 1,200 horsepower.
03:23However, a Sapphire variant with up to 1,000 horsepower is also possible.
03:28The most expensive variants like the Air will probably be the most potent, with lower-end
03:33gravity trims having lesser horsepower figures.
03:37The Gravity's taller, more angular SUV appearance will likely be less aerodynamic.
03:43Range should be slightly reduced as a result, even though its sedan brother promises a driving
03:48range of up to 516 miles per charge of its 112 kWh battery pack.
03:53The Gravity should be able to charge quickly using DC fast charging just like the Air.
03:58It may include three years of free charging at Electrify America charging stations, plus
04:03still be eligible for federal tax credits for a couple more years.
04:07Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV Mercedes unveiled a fully electric SUV that
04:14was the more potent AMG model, giving the five-seater up to 671 horsepower and 500 kW.
04:22The two variants each have their front fascias, while the standard EQE SUV has a closed-off
04:27grille with a star motif.
04:29AMG's face has vertical accents with a Panamericana grille-inspired appearance.
04:35The interiors of the two vehicles are similar, and both come with the brand's optional
04:39Hyperscreen display.
04:41Mercedes will also provide four trim levels for the Mercedes-AMG EQE SUV, from the base
04:47350 plus to the AMG.
04:50The rear-wheel drive 350 plus will have a single motor producing 288 horsepower, 214
04:56kW, and 417 lb-ft of torque or 565 Nm of torque.
05:02Mercedes will sell the 536 horsepower or 392 kW EQE 500 SUV and the dual-motor EQE 350
05:114MATIC.
05:12Customization will allow new Mercedes EQE owners to determine price as well as how long
05:17their vehicle can go when fully charged.
05:20Polestar 2 2024 will be a special year for both Polestar
05:26as a company and the new upgraded Polestar 2.
05:29According to the company newsletter, the Polestar 2 will get an increase in power,
05:33range, improved sustainability, and have a rear-wheel drive RWD model optional.
05:40The 2024 Polestar 2 will be available in four main models, standard-range single motor,
05:46long-range dual motor with performance pack, long-range single motor, and long-range dual
05:50motor.
05:51Polestar is increasing the EV's range for 2024.
05:55You could be getting as much as 395 miles in some variants.
05:59Still, charging rates are stuck at 205 kW unfortunately, a little slower than Tesla's
06:05supercharging speeds.
06:08Dodge Charger When the next generation Charger goes on sale
06:12for the 2024 model year, it will be an entirely new car for the Dodge lineup.
06:17A 4-door model will also be added to the roster, but we'll learn more about either vehicle
06:21closer to its debut.
06:23There will most likely be more trim levels for the 2024 Charger, but we only know of
06:27three for now.
06:28The number of engines that will power the various trims of the new Charger is still
06:32to be disclosed by Dodge, but the base 340 model is expected to produce 455 horsepower,
06:38while the mid-range 440 model is expected to produce 590 horsepower.
06:43An all-wheel drive 800-volt architecture will be used by a high-performance trim known
06:48as SRT Banshee, although the model's horsepower capacity has yet to be disclosed.
06:54We also know that the initial prototype employs a multi-speed transmission rather than the
06:58traditional EV direct-drive system.
07:01Strong acceleration also gives the driver the impression of a gear shift.
07:06Hyundai Ioniq 7 The 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 7, an all-electric
07:12SUV resembling the three-row Hyundai Palisade, is the new electric car Hyundai plans to use
07:18as a trigger for deep market penetration.
07:21This vehicle will have a seating capacity of 7 or 8.
07:24The Hyundai Ioniq 7 model is one of the three new electric vehicles the company is already
07:29committed to releasing in the following years.
07:32There's no official word on the vehicle's release, although three trim levels might
07:35be anticipated.
07:37Because the company is concentrating on producing a vehicle that has a driving range of 300
07:41miles minimum, it's anticipated that this vehicle will feature a huge usable capacity
07:46battery and a 350-kilowatt fast charger will be included.
07:50Pretty decent performance, but for a much cheaper price.
07:54Porsche Macan EV Porsche's 2024 electrification initiatives
07:59are getting even more aggressive after the launch of the Macan EV.
08:03Before the new crossover makes its official appearance, Porsche will make the performance
08:07rear axle available with the Macan EV, depending on the model, when it goes on sale.
08:13The two valve shock absorbers for the Porsche Active Suspension Management System are one
08:19of the new features of the Macan EV.
08:21They are available with steel or air suspensions, independently adjustable and will provide
08:26better damper characteristics.
08:28The front and rear tires will have different widths to enable the rear-biased weight distribution
08:33and wheel sizes will go up to 22 inches.
08:36The new data aids in giving the Macan EV a complete picture.
08:40In its most powerful configuration, the crossover will have up to 603 horsepower and more than
08:45738 pound-feet of torque.
08:47In addition, it will have the technology, features, and suspension needed to harness
08:52all this power.
08:54Rolls-Royce Spectre The hallmark of a Rolls-Royce has always
08:58been quiet, smooth propulsion.
09:01It has had a V12 engine ever since the company's brand was incorporated into the BMW Group
09:07in 2003.
09:09But other than nostalgia for gasoline, there are a few reasons why switching to an all-electric
09:14power won't enhance the distinctive Rolls-Royce experience.
09:18The first-ever 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre EV fills that gap.
09:24The luxury brand makes the front and rear electric motors for the Spectre.
09:28They produce 664 pound-feet of torque and 577 horsepower.
09:33A battery that has a capacity of more than 100 kilowatt-hours provides power.
09:38Although it has a different design, the battery has the same chemistry as the BMW iX M60.
09:44According to Rolls-Royce, the Spectre's anticipated range on a full charge is 320 miles.
09:50By applying the WLTP standard, which is utilized in Europe, although EPA estimates can vary
09:55slightly, a range of about 300 miles is reasonable.
09:59A sprint from 0 to 60 mph takes 4.4 seconds.
10:03However, a Rolls-Royce isn't about violence and is unsuitable for drag strip competitions
10:08against a Tesla.
10:10Cadillac Celestic For many years, the Cadillac has struggled
10:14to compete with European luxury brands.
10:17Still, it has persevered as seen by the release of its new electric flagship, the new 2024
10:23Celestic Luxury Sedan.
10:25Although this stunning vehicle resembles the new Lyric EV SUV in terms of family resemblance,
10:31it stands out thanks to its slender lines, sweeping roof, and bustling rear end.
10:36The designers at Cadillac claim to have combined historical design cues with cutting-edge technologies
10:42that forecast the future course of the American luxury brand.
10:45The interior decor is equally as dramatic as the exterior, and the cabin dazzles with
10:50vividly colored leather, a 55-inch digital dashboard, and bucket seats designed in the
10:56Eames style.
10:57A small group of artisans will hand-build each Celestic as the line assembles them.
11:02According to the EPA, the Ultium battery pack that powers the Celestic is big enough to
11:07provide around 300 miles of driving range per charge.
11:11According to Cadillac, a 200-kilowatt connection will give the battery a range of 78 miles
11:15in just 10 minutes.
