Honda and Acura unveil next-gen hybrids aimed at US market

Honda and Acura teased next-generation hybrid prototypes with a new platform, promising over 10% better fuel efficiency. The Honda sedan and Acura SUV are set to go on sale within two years, primarily in the US as part of a broader North American push. Honda aims for 15 hybrid models by 2030 and expects cost reductions with a new powertrain, funded by about 4.4 trillion yen (~$28B) for hybrids/gas models, plus roughly 0.8 trillion yen (~$5B) for future EVs; meanwhile, several EVs were canceled and Honda will continue EVs in Japan/Asia while reassessing the US strategy.

Geely Builds a U.S. Footprint Through Volvo, Polestar, and Zeekr

Geely Builds a U.S. Footprint Through Volvo, Polestar, and Zeekr

Geely Holding is quietly building a U.S. foothold by owning stakes in Volvo Cars, Polestar, and Lotus, plus its Zeekr/Lynk & Co brands, gaining dealer-network access and potential U.S. production. Volvo’s Charleston, SC plant could expand, with XC60 hybrid adding about 45k units/year and Volvo aiming for roughly 200k U.S. sales, with a large portion produced locally. Zeekr is seen as the best candidate to lead a U.S. entry, aided by Waymo’s use of Zeekr tech, while bipartisan opposition to Chinese automakers persists; other Chinese players like BYD and CATL are expanding in the U.S. The takeaway: Geely’s U.S. strategy hinges on networks, platforms, and potential local manufacturing.

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Blocked in the US as FCC Ban and Audit Deadlock Loom

DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Blocked in the US as FCC Ban and Audit Deadlock Loom

DJI’s Osmo Pocket 4 won’t launch in the United States due to the FCC’s Covered List ban and an incomplete NDAA-mandated audit, which together block import of new DJI products. Major US retailers aren’t stocking the device, marking a shift from prior messaging that products weren’t “officially available” online but could still reach US buyers. If the audit isn’t completed or policy changes, this could signal a new normal where US consumers may be unable to purchase new DJI gear unless approved, leaving the Pocket 3 as the current option for US buyers.

Ineos bets on the US for its rugged Grenadier SUV

UK billionaire-backed Ineos Automotive, creator of the Grenadier 4x4, is fast-tratching growth in its largest market—the US—with a goal to breakeven this year and possibly start limited U.S. production to dodge tariffs, as it eyes 200,000–250,000 units sold globally by the early 2030s. The company currently relies on a France plant with plans to expand, and is pursuing new models like the Fusilier after pausing its all-electric variant, signaling a rapid, capital-intensive expansion path.

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.
