| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to EV News Daily. Today, Hyundai Kia pullback, MG teases new compact EV and AMG shows off electric GT. |
| 0:08.5 | Plus, stay tuned later in the show. I'll tell you which emissions record. |
| 0:11.7 | Britain just broke for the first time in 400 years. No EV News China today, our spin-off podcast. |
| 0:18.4 | That's back tomorrow morning, first thing on Monday. Hyundai Keir have started trimming back their EV ambitions in the United States, |
| 0:25.3 | blaming affordability pressure and tariff uncertainty. |
| 0:29.1 | Hyundai will cut the South Korean Bill Arnick 5 line, sorry, Unix 6 line, to a single version. |
| 0:35.5 | That's the Arnick 6N, the proper fast one. The high performance model |
| 0:39.5 | with 641 horsepower will arrive later this year. It's coming as a 2026 model year car. Hyundai |
| 0:46.8 | hasn't confirmed pricing, but Arnix 6N should cost more than the outgoing Arnix 6 limited's sticker price of 52.5. The move ends the standard |
| 0:58.0 | Unix 6 in the US for now. Hyundai priced it at under $40,000, but February sales were low. Dealers have |
| 1:05.8 | some stock that they can sell you. Kia, company, is also pausing their United States sales, |
| 1:13.7 | indefinitely delaying the GT versions of EV6 GT and EV9 GT, US-built EV6 GT line and EV9 |
| 1:21.7 | GT9, that's a trim level, not an indication of performance. That continues. So those are made in West Point, Georgia, |
| 1:30.8 | unaffected. Key had already pushed back the US launch of the EV4 from this year to sometime in the |
| 1:37.2 | future, again, shifting market conditions and uncertainty over tariffs. They sit in the background |
| 1:42.5 | because South Korean-built cars are now facing 15% |
| 1:45.9 | at least as of when we woke up this morning and which way the wind was blowing. And that could |
| 1:51.0 | be a 25% tariff with new threats from the White House to escalate levees. And for now, |
| 1:58.1 | US built cars carry on. The imports wait for an EV market and a tariff rate that makes sense for them. |
| 2:05.7 | Said this many times before. |
| 2:06.9 | I'm no economist. |
| 2:08.1 | But even my tiny simpleton brain can understand that if you want to do any sort of favor for the car industry, you just need certainty. |
