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.

Motorola raises US prices across the Moto G (2026) lineup

Motorola hiked US prices for the Moto G (2026) lineup overnight, lifting the Moto G Play 2026 from $179.99 to $249.99, the Moto G (2026) from $199.99 to $299.99, and the Moto G Power (2026) from $299.99 to $399.99, with the Moto G Stylus (2026) at $499.99 as a benchmark. The increases are attributed in part to rising memory chip costs, and Motorola is pushing promotions on the official store while suggesting third-party retailers may still show the old pricing for now. The piece notes that these hikes could foreshadow further increases for Razr/Edge mid-rangers as well.

Nintendo Switch 2 digital games to be cheaper than physical copies in US from May 2026

From May 2026, new Switch 2 titles released in the US will have lower digital MSRPs than physical copies, starting with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book (digital $59.99 vs physical $69.99). Older titles aren’t affected. Nintendo says the difference reflects format production and distribution costs, digital prices won’t rise overall, and future pricing will consider profitability, installed base, and market conditions amid ongoing cost pressures.

Samsung Halts Galaxy Z TriFold Sales as Stock Dries Up

Samsung confirmed it will stop selling the Galaxy Z TriFold after selling through existing stock in Korea and then the US. The $2,899 device is already out of online stock in the US, with a few brick-and-mortar stores still offering limited units; buyers may need to visit Samsung Experience Stores, though stock there is not guaranteed. Samsung is expected to shift focus to upcoming foldables (potential Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8) amid broader cost pressures on its mobile business.

Volvo pulls EX30 from the U.S. lineup as focus shifts to bigger EVs

Volvo has canceled the EX30 for the U.S. market and will stop selling the EX30 and EX30 Cross Country after the 2026 model year, citing a combination of tariff-driven price pressure, a late-quality/price misalignment (roughly $50k), and reliability/software issues; production moved to Europe helped the decision. Volvo says it will continue electrification with upcoming models like the EX90 and EX60, signaling a shift away from this small urban EV despite ongoing demand for EVs overall.

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.
