It’s been an incredible summer for reveals, from SUVs to sports cars.

Chevrolet debuted the 2024 Traverse. This third-generation model is powered by a new turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-4 making an estimated 315 horsepower. A new off-road-focused Z71 trim packs all-terrain tires, extra ground clearance, skid plates and more.

Hyundai also took to the web to showcase the fifth-generation Santa Fe. This midsize SUV features a radical redesign both inside and out, with modern, EV-like cues throughout. No exact details on powertrain or pricing just yet.

Subaru made an exciting BRZ reveal at Subiefest in California…

The BRZ will soon receive a tS trim, featuring track-oriented upgrades. This means STI-tuned dampers, gold-painted Brembo brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires on 18-inch wheels. The tS comes with a six-speed manual only.

Nissan is spicing up their own coupe with the Z NISMO. Underneath the trim-specific bodywork, Nissan fitted better brakes, suspension components and Dunlop performance tires. The twin-turbo V6 sees a power increase, now 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft. The Z’s nine-speed automatic is standard.

Finally, in electric vehicle news, the U.S. Department of Energy has selected JD Power to monitor the nation’s EV progress…

The DOE has enlisted JD Power’s EV Index to set benchmarks and monitor rising infrastructure development. The EV Index is an analytic tool used to track the nation’s growing electric vehicle market.

The Index tracks millions of data points across six categories, updated monthly.

According to JD Power, a lack of public charging infrastructure has consistently been a top consumer barrier to EV adoption.

And that’s it for this week’s Motor News.
