From this collection, as usual, you will learn the five main automotive news. Everything is just the most interesting: the Mercedes-Benz G-Class became electric, Genesis updated the GV70, Lamborghini presented the first hybrid crossover Urus SE in the history of the brand, Ram released the RHO pickup truck to replace the TRX, and Tesla showed the top-end Model 3 Performance.
Electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class presented
The electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class debuted with a 587-horsepower unit. More than two years have passed since the premiere of the prototype of the “green” Geländewagen, and now the production SUV has finally been presented. It has a familiar appearance and design, and the electric car is driven by four electric motors. In addition to the welcome version of Edition One, Mercedes-Benz has prepared many different “tricks” – from a “tank” turn to imitation of the sound of an internal combustion engine.

Genesis GV70 has been updated and received a new big screen
Genesis introduced the updated GV70 crossover. Almost four years have passed since the premiere of the GV70, and the premium brand Hyundai decided to spur demand with restyling. It almost didn’t affect the exterior of the model, but it’s hard not to notice the changes in the cabin: instead of separate screens, there is a 27-inch cluster on the front panel. There is no information about the technology yet, but it is expected that the motor range will remain the same. Sales will begin in its native South Korea, where the refreshed crossover will appear in May.

Lamborghini has an 800-horsepower hybrid crossover
Lamborghini introduced the first hybrid crossover in its history. The new product is called Urus SE. It differs from the regular Urus not only in design, but also in its power plant, which includes a V8 4.0 engine and an electric motor built into the gearbox. Peak output of the Urus SE is 800 horsepower and 950 Nm of torque – more than the Urus Performante. However, the hybrid is inferior to it in acceleration to hundred: 3.4 seconds versus 3.3. The maximum speed, however, is higher – 312 kilometers per hour.

Ram showed the “successor” to the 712-horsepower 1500 TRX
Ram has unveiled the 1500 RHO pickup, which will try to replace the TRX. The model received a six-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission and a suspension retuned for off-road use with adaptive Bilstein shock absorbers and a Dana 60 rear axle. The Ram 1500 RHO will hit the market next fall. According to the manufacturer, the new pickup will offer more horses per dollar spent than any of its competitors.

Top-end Tesla Model 3 Performance presented
Tesla has declassified the most powerful and fastest Model 3 Performance. This is the top version of the model, which differs from others in a more efficient power plant, improved dynamics, a modified chassis, as well as a sporty exterior and interior design. The peak power of the two electric motors has increased by almost a third, resulting in the electric car accelerating faster to 60 mph (97 kilometers per hour).
