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

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.
