Kia Sets Sights on U.S. Midsize Pickup With Hybrid and Extended-Range EV by 2030

Kia announced plans to offer a U.S. midsize body-on-frame pickup by 2030 with conventional hybrid and extended-range EV powertrains; a teaser image hints at a double-cab design, though EV specifics aren’t confirmed in the latest statement. The plan supports CEO Ho Sung Song’s goal of roughly 90,000 yearly sales and 7% market share in the segment by 2034, and Kia’s broader aim to reach about 1 million EVs by 2030. The truck would be Kia’s first body-on-frame model in the U.S. since the Borrego and would compete with Tacoma, Colorado, and Ranger.

2027 Kia Telluride: Range Rover-inspired styling, 35 mpg hybrid, under-$40k starting price

The 2027 Kia Telluride updates its look with Range Rover–inspired styling, introduces a turbo 2.5L engine or a hybrid making 329 hp with 35 mpg, and starts at $39,190 (plus $1,545 destination) with AWD from about $44k. Hybrid trims run roughly $46.5k–$48.5k. It adds premium interior touches, practical cargo space, and an off-road–ready X-Pro variant with 9.1 inches of ground clearance, E-LSD, and terrain modes. While engine noise under acceleration and a heavy steering feel are minor downsides, the Telluride remains a strong, value-conscious three-row SUV that now competes more closely with near-luxury rivals.

Kia Delays US Arrival of 2026 EV6 GT Amid Slump in EV Sales

Kia has postponed the 2026 EV6 GT for the U.S. market “until further notice,” citing weak EV6 sales after the federal tax credit ended. The GT, the lineup’s most expensive trim and imported from Korea (subject to a 15% tariff), has been removed from the US configurator, while other trims produced in West Point, GA remain on sale. Kia notes the delay reflects changing market conditions and does not affect the rest of the EV6 lineup. The 2025 EV6 GT boasted up to 641 hp and 3.4-second 0–60 mph performance, and the EV3/EV4 are also delayed in the U.S.

ICCU Flaws Put Hyundai, Kia, Genesis EVs at Risk of Power Loss, CR Finds

ICCU Flaws Put Hyundai, Kia, Genesis EVs at Risk of Power Loss, CR Finds

Consumer Reports warns that Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis electric vehicles can experience ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failures that compromise the 12-volt system and cause power loss or inoperable features, even with adequate main-battery charge. CR surveyed about 380,000 owners; ICCU-related issues affected roughly 2–10% of Hyundai/Kia EV owners, far higher than typical charging problems. The fault stems from a transistor in the ICCU failing due to overvoltage at the start or end of charging. Repairs vary from software updates to replacing the ICCU and fuse plus a coolant flush, with some costs reimbursed. Hyundai says parts are shipping and some expenses will be reimbursed; Kia has parts in stock; Genesis did not comment. The Ioniq 5 performed relatively well in CR’s testing, but ICCU reliability drags overall scores and recalls have occurred in the past.
