Is this our first look at the Hyundai Crater in action? A new Hyundai EV was spotted testing with a unique design.

Is Hyundai testing a new off-road EV?

Hyundai is at it again. At the LA Auto Show last month, Hyundai unveiled the Crater Concept, a compact off-road electric SUV.

According to Hyundai, the Crater Concept “explores the next evolution” of its extreme-rugged-terrain (XRT) design, sharing design elements with other XRT models, like the IONIQ 5 XRT and Palisade XRT Pro.

Hyundai designed the compact SUV with one clear goal in mind: to create a rugged, capable vehicle that can go anywhere. Hyundai’s design team in Irvine, California, crafted it as the company pushes further into off-road, extreme vehicles.

Hyundai’s design team added wide skid plates, 33″ off-road tires, tow hooks, limb risers, rocker panels, and a roof platform to give it a truly rugged, go-anywhere attitude.

Although Hyundai has yet to confirm it, the Crater is expected to come to life as a production model. A test car based on the Hyundai Kona was spotted driving in Korea, believed to be an early Crater test mule.

The video from our friends at Healer TV shows the vehicle with a unique device mounted on the back, a raised suspension, new wheels, added tow hooks, and a light on the side.

With features similar to those of the Kia EV9 and Genesis GV70 test mules, the reporter believes “there’s a very good chance” the vehicle is an early Hyundai Crater test car.

From the back, you can clearly see the vehicle’s higher ground clearance, and it also has a towing device installed. The test mule does have mufflers, but many automakers, including Hyundai, test new vehicles with fake mufflers and other disguises to hide the design from the public.

Is this our first look at the Hyundai Crater in real life? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. We’ll likely find out more info soon. Check back for updates.

It’s the final day of MOD Bikes’ Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale event with up to $400 rare discounts across its e-bike lineup, including one of my favorite rides of all time: the Easy 3 Cruiser e-bike at $2,199 shipped.

The standard Easy 3 e-bike dropped from its $3,499 MSRP to $2,399 during last year’s Black Friday season, which we stopped seeing the brand offer discounts for (alongside its entire lineup) back in spring, likely due to tariffs, but we’re getting a rare discount to its lowest tracked price here today, saving you $200 (and $400 off the SideCar variants to their lowest prices).

You learn more below and browse the entire sale lineup, as well as get my in-depth experience in my hands-on review here.

Best new Green Deals landing this week

The savings this week are also continuing to a collection of other markdowns. To the same tune as the offers above, these all help you take a more energy-conscious approach to your routine. Winter means you can lock in even better off-season price cuts on electric tools for the lawn while saving on EVs and tons of other gear.

Lucid Motors (LCID) is calling out the competition after the 2026 Air remains the most efficient EV in the US according to new EPA rankings.

2026 Lucid Air remains most efficient EV in EPA rankings

It has been 9 years since Lucid introduced the +400-mile-range Air, its first luxury electric sedan. Since then, the California-based EV maker has come a long way, introducing its first electric SUV, the Gravity, and plans to launch a series of more affordable midsize vehicles, starting later next year.

Lucid’s former CEO, Peter Rawlinson, who was a top engineer at Tesla before joining the luxury EV startup in 2013, promised the company’s innovations would be “the key to unlocking greater efficiency,” and ultimately, more affordable vehicles.

Rawlinson was not kidding. The 2024 Lucid Air Pure was deemed the “world’s most efficient car” with a record 5 miles of range per kWh and a 146 MPGe rating, the highest rating ever given to an EV by the EPA.

Even with a slate of new EVs hitting the market, many claiming next-level efficiency, the Lucid Air is still ahead of the pack.

According to new EPA rankings, the 2026 Lucid Air Pure RWD (with 19″ wheels) remains the most efficient EV in the US with a 146 MPGe rating.

The Air beat out the 2026 Tesla Model Y Standard RWD (138 MPGe), 2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD (137 MPGe), 2026 Toyota bZ (131 MPGe), and the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Plus EV (126 MPGe).

Other automakers often tout EV range using lenient WLTP or CLTC test cycles, masking efficiency gaps and inflating expectations. Now that official U.S. EPA numbers are out, the story changes. Lucid Air delivers S-Class size with unmatched efficiency, going farther on less energy… pic.twitter.com/yqYHMgF4tm

— Nick Twork (@ntwork) November 25, 2025

Lucid’s communications boss, Nick Twork, shared the news on social media, saying the Air “delivers “S-Class size with unmatched efficiency.”

While many automakers tout EV range using more lenient WLTP or CLTC test cycles, Twork said Lucid’s advantage “comes from a holistic engineering approach” that was designed years ago and “still ahead of any passenger car sold today.”

Electrek’s Take

By developing electric vehicle components from the ground up, including the powertrain, battery systems, and software, Lucid has an advantage over many legacy automakers that rely on third parties to outsource.

For one, Lucid’s innovations are already driving down costs. The first Lucid Air Dream Edition, launched in 2021, started at $169,000. Today, you can snag the Lucid Air for as low as $70,900.

Lucid is now ramping production of its first electric SUV, the Gravity. Last month, it launched the lower-priced Gravity Touring trim, starting at $79,900.

Starting later next year, Lucid will begin production of its midsize platform, which will spawn at least three “top hats” priced around $50,000. The first will be a midsize crossover SUV, followed by a more rugged SUV that will share design clues from the Gravity X concept. Although it’s yet to be confirmed, the third is expected to be a midsize sedan that could go head-to-head with the Tesla Model 3.

Rawlinson previously said Lucid’s midsize vehicles are aimed “right in the heart of Tesla Model 3, Model Y territory.”

After reporting Q3 earnings last month, Lucid said it had enough liquidity to fund it through the first half of 2027 and confirmed it’s on track to begin production of the midsize platform in late 2026.

Ready to test Lucid’s luxury EVs for yourself? Lucid is running a Cyber Monday Special, offering $2,000 toward an Air or $3,000 toward a Gravity. Check out the links below to find Lucid Air and Gravity models in your area.
