The planned luxury performance sedan has 600 horsepower and can reach 60 miles an hour in under 3.5 seconds, Porsche says. Top speed is 155 miles an hour.

The Accord has the appearance of gas-only models, but inside is a lithium-ion battery and a gas-electric system that is unlike other hybrids.

This plug-in has an all-electric range of 22 miles, but it also has a turbocharged 1.5-liter gasoline engine, which helps propel the car to 60 m.p.h. in 4 seconds.

The company says the electric car has a battery-only range of about 100 miles, but that can be extended on the model with the gasoline-power generator.

The Kia Soul EV joins a growing list of affordable electric cars.

Lexus introduces a new, smaller crossover aimed at a slightly younger, affluent urban buyer than the larger RX.
