At the other end of the truck spectrum, Ford is also introducing a brand new pickup for those with limited parking space and more modest budgets. This efficient crossover is actually the fastest of the NX lineup. One of the most highly anticipated debuts for 2022 is the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The redesigned Sorento launched last year with a turbocharged, 4 cylinder and a hybrid, like that one right there. It debuts in a single trim, called the XDrive 50 and will start around $85,000. [CAR ENGINE] If you're like us and aren't exactly enthralled with the 181 horsepower engine, you might want to wait until next year when Mitsubishi pulls the wraps off the new Outlander P-HEV. But the M50's bigger wheels, stickier tires, and extra electric motor make it less efficient than its little brother. For now at least, all you can have is a C 300 with a 2 liter turbo and a mild hybrid system. The LYRIQ is going to start at a reasonable $59,990, about as much as a fully-loaded Tesla Model Y and thousands less than rivals like the Audi e-tron and Jaguar I-PACE. And it was actually redesigned last year. Well, it's good looking. As for power and range, the base Sport model will come with a single electric motor mounted at the front axle. Max towing is between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds, which is pretty strong and suitable for small boats or two-wheel trailers. To determine whether the Hyundai Santa Cruz is reliable, read Edmunds' authentic consumer reviews, which come from real owners and reveal what it's like to live with the Santa Cruz. Nissan hasn't quoted acceleration times just yet, but we have managed to get 0 to 60 sprints right around the five second mark and a couple of infinities with the same powertrain. The second is an upcoming plug-in powertrain that offers up to 28 miles of EV range. [MUSIC PLAYING] Shifts are crisp and quick, but the turbo 2.5-liter engine isn't exactly enjoyable to listen to on the highway. The standard configuration, which Audi calls the Q4 40 e-tron is a single electric motor that powers the rear wheels only. As for the regular Grand Cherokee, we don't pricing just yet, so stay tuned to edmunds.com when that information becomes available. My wife and I were in the market for a car, usually we buy a used car that's a year or two old but when we saw the styling on the Santa Cruz we both fell in love. Its flat six is naturally-aspirated and road [INAUDIBLE] at 9,000 RPM. While I wouldn't exactly call the Santa Cruz a luxury pickup truck, its cabin is a really nice place to be. However, we found in our Edmunds testing that that thing is pretty slow. We found that the BRZ does have some upgraded equipment that makes it a better performer in our Edmunds testing. So buyers who are looking for a small car with high horsepower really only have the Volkswagen Golf R or the John Cooper Works Mini to choose from. Genesis has released preliminary range estimates for the GV60 and claims a maximum driving range of 280 miles on a single charge. But, the Style, looks are definitely a Plus compared to Ridgeline and Mavrick, ALISTAIR WEAVER: Alistair Weaver here for Edmunds with the best new cars of 2022. There's a plethora of new tech and almost everything is controlled by a curvaceous touchscreen interface. But with outdated tech, so-so acceleration, and an interior that's just ugh, you pretty much have to be a Subaru fanboy to get one. As I speak, the 450 Plus version sits atop the Edmunds EV range test Leaderboard, having traveled 422 miles on a single charge, smashing its EPA estimate of 350 miles. It sounds incredible at full tilt. [MUSIC PLAYING] PROS The Sorento Plug-In starting price of over $46,000 might dissuade some buyers. I absolutely love this vehicle! Now just like the Colorado ZR2, this is going to be the most hardcore off-road ready version of the Silverado that there is. For far too long, Volkswagen didn't have an offering in the compact SUV segment. SEL Premium 4dr Crew Cab AWD SB (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8AM), Limited 4dr Crew Cab AWD SB (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8AM), Got the Preferred (AWD, 8AT, 8" Screen) here in Canada. other drivers are saying about any vehicle in our database. For example, max towing is between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds, which is pretty strong and suitable for small boats or two-wheel trailers. If you're interested in the Hyundai Santa Cruz, the next question is, which Santa Cruz model is right for you? While I would have liked to buy the Limited, I just couldn't justify the cost so we bought an SEL. But the new car combats the slight power loss with a lighter flywheel and wider power band than before. Take the iconic Corolla name and put it on a compact crossover. Shop Edmunds' car, SUV, and truck listings Audi takes the Porsche Taycan and applies a futuristic design inside and out.
[MUSIC PLAYING] Don't like that there's no built in navigation. That little engine is connected to a six-speed manual transmission that sends power through a helical limited slip differential to the front wheels. Its 2-liter, turbocharged 4 cylinder pumps out 241 horsepower, making it the most powerful GTI Americans have ever been able to buy.
Power comes from one of two engines. SPEAKER 2: Trigger warning-- if you've ever been bitten by a black widow, screamed at the sight of the predator, or frequently have flashbacks of middle school back when they used the force you to find the area of two trapezoids, avert your eyes now. Now what about the regular Bolt EV hatchback? The Lexus NX is a sharply-styled crossover. The Santa Cruz receives a lot of compliments with the consensus being that it has more presence and capability than people expect for a truck that is not a truck. We're looking forward to driving it in early 2022, so keep an eye on edmunds.com/news for the full review. The S-Class is Edmunds top-rated luxury sedan for 2022. The interior is far less busy. The battery pack is located under the floor and powers two electric motors, one in the front, one in the rear. It looks more like a concept car with its evocative front end and a stubby rear end. Like every GTI before, power is sent exclusively to the front wheels. But no matter which model you pick, both of them get an upgraded suspension, larger brakes, and summer tires for extra grip. We like that. The optional 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen and the matching 10.25-inch driver display screen are both high-resolution and typically easy to read. Inside and out, the styling on the Tucson is pretty bold for a small SUV. Plan to start right around $45,000. It still comes with the option for either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission. the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz and all its trim types. For 2022, the Chevrolet Silverado gets some major upgrades. In short, being behind the wheel no longer makes you feel sad. However, the EV6 6's sleek, high-tech design stands in stark contrast to the Ioniq 5's 8-bit styling cues and minimalist interior. And all models will route their power through an eight-speed, automatic transmission to either the rear or all four wheels. Since then however, the automaker has removed that number from its press materials and won't tell us what the bed capacity is. Sure, it's likely pretty slow, but at first glance, check out that cargo area. The new car will only be available as a sedan, and it's 1.5 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder makes a dead even 200 horsepower. experience is great. The 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz comes with a 5 yr./ 60000 mi. Think Corolla sedan just bigger. Inside is a cabin trim with high-quality materials along with exotic features like ventilated second row seats. Mercedes has added two tiny rear seats to the new SL and asked its performance brand, AMG, to do all the legwork. Generally, Porsche's GTS trim has always kind of been the sweet spot for buyers looking for great performance but without the wallet-busting insanity of a turbo model. More than enough power, fun to drive, and the dual-clutch transmission is quick! And then there's safety and reliability. That feeling I would also describe as a low-key sort of 'engine brake' that is always in the background. This is a safe choice for Toyota. The cupholders and center console storage are similar to something you'd find in a compact SUV. Thankfully, you can still get a six-speed manual and the CVT automatic is said to be re-tuned for more responsive performance. We'll see. The company also claims 0 to 60 times from 6.9 seconds in the base version to 3.6 seconds in the most powerful models. Like the Hyundai, this Kia is a compact vehicle whose profile suggests a small crossover or tall hatchback. Subaru and Toyota teamed up to produce two distinct versions of the same underlying car. I paid sticker, so it's definitely possible right now. And you're going to have to shell out at least $143,000 for the privilege. MARK TAKAHASHI: The Kia Sedona Minivan is no more. Cabin upgrades include a redesigned center stack punctuated by a console shifter and a 13.4-inch center touchscreen. It's basically the truck with the rear-end lopped off and an SUV back, similar interior, same power, similar price starting at around $70,000. But during our test, we found using them become second nature after a short time. This titanic body-on-frame SUV shares its underlying architecture with the Toyota Tundra pickup and the all-new but only-available-overseas Toyota Land Cruiser. The EQS is already with us and we've tested it extensively. [MUSIC PLAYING] There's a distinct future-forward look to the cabin thanks to the optional big center touchscreen and full digital instrument panel ahead of the driver.
The GV70 starts at $42,045. But behind those V8 engines is the most luxurious interior we've seen from Jeep to date. The front end takes some getting used to but I had to appreciate the 'Cruz' in relief of the front grill pattern. There are also several redundant buttons on the steering wheel if you prefer the old physical-style controls. It's $24,190 starting price might be a little high for the segment. And as expected, there all sorts of new luxury features as well, including a wireless charging pad, digital instrument panel, and a heads-up display. The Wagoneer starts right around $70,000. We think you can look to the Sportage's mechanical twin, the Hyundai Tucson, for guesses on where Kia will expand the lineup. And they offer a cool overboost feature, which provides extra horsepower when you need it. What does that mean? Funky name aside, the LYRIQ is an important car for Cadillac. The less powerful E Drive 40 models make do with 335 horses and 317 pound feet of torque. When Hyundai first revealed the Santa Cruz, it listed the bed capacity at 660 pounds, a relatively low number considering the high payload rating. It also uses the same battery as the regular Bolt, which gets an EPA estimated 247 miles of range on a full charge. Seems to make it pretty competitive with the Jeep Compass, Subaru Crosstrek, and Volkswagen Taos. And one of two new pioneers for this class is the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. The Mavricks accessories are huge. But I'm going to stop wittering on now. And it immediately impressed us, claiming the Edmunds top-rated Editors' Choice Award for 2022, marking a vehicle that exceeded expectations and delivered something genuinely new. Much of what we've already told you about the Subaru BRZ also applies to this, the Toyota GR86. It's not as much as rivals like the BMW M3 or Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio, but it's still more than enough to get you out of bed in the morning. Inside, the CX-50 isn't a huge departure from the Mazda we currently know. That means the engine in last year's GTS now comes standard on the mid-tier S model, while the uprated V6 from the Turbo moved down to the GTS. For instance, there's now a larger screen, new seats, and a new steering wheel design. It doesn't mean bigger. What are we kidding you guys?
It merely exists to fill what would otherwise be a compact-sized SUV-sized hole in the automaker's lineup. And that's perfect for all of your rooftop campers out there. tow or want to go off-roading you'd probably want the more powerful engine. It seems like Land Rover agrees.
