CHRYSLER JEEP What's New from the 2024 Los Angeles Auto Show! | MotorWeek Motor News
This week, we’re recapping all that’s new from the 2024 Los Angeles Auto Show, with the most debuts coming from South Korean brands.
The Kia Sportage will receive a substantial refresh for the 2026 model year. New bumpers and LED lighting define the exterior, while a pair of 12.3-inch screens headline the interior. The Sportage hybrid gains 4 horsepower, while the plug-in hybrid gains 7.
On the all-electric side, the 2025 Kia EV6 is also getting a refresh. Underneath the modest exterior tweaks, larger battery packs increase range across the board; an 84-kilowatt-hour pack is targeting up to 319 miles. The EV6 GT is now rated up to 641 horsepower with GT mode on.
And Kia’s three-row EV9 is gaining its own GT trim, estimated at 501 horsepower, sourced from a pair of electric motors. Kia is predicting a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds.
Sister brand Hyundai previewed their own three-row SUV, the IONIQ 9. Built on the E-GMP platform, it carries a 110-kilowatt-hour battery pack, projected at reaching up to 335 miles. The interior can include fully-reclining seats, and the second-row seats can swivel to face the third-row when stationary.
Not to be left out, luxury kin Genesis unveiled the refreshed 2026 GV70 and Electrified GV70. Exterior changes are minimal; the cabin gains a new 27-inch display. The GV70 Electrified is powered by a larger 84-kilowatt-hour battery. Like other new Hyundai and Kia models, it will include the Tesla-style North American Charging Standard port.
Ahead of the show, Volkswagen debuted the all-new Tiguan.
This 2025 Tiguan grows in wheelbase, though overall remains mostly the same size. Now a two-row only compact utility, the cabin is modern thanks to an available 15-inch infotainment screen and a standard 10.25-gauge display. The gear selector has been moved to the steering column to make way for a center console dial, used to control the volume and various functions. The 2.0-liter turbo-four is back, making 17 extra horsepower at 201 total.
And that’s it for the 2024 LA Auto Show and this week’s Motor News.
