With the new Stinger, K5 and K8 coming out in the past few months, Kia is bent on sprucing up their sedan lineup, even as others are trimming their sedan count down to zero. Now it is the time of its compact sedan, the 2022 Kia Cerato. The refreshed Cerato showed its face off in new pictures of the equivalent Kia K3 revealed in its South Korean home market. The Kia Cerato GT Hatchback also gets a preview along with the sedan.
Hyundai finally makes its way into the pickup segment with the new 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Instead of taking the big, brawny major players of the segment head-on, the Santa Cruz plays it safe by jumping into a compact category that has almost no players to lock horns with.
Mercedes-Benz is a late entrant to the electric vehicle segment and their current lineup includes the EQA, EQC crossovers and the EQV Van, all of which have received a lukewarm reception so far. But as the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan show that electric sedans can be desirable, the Mercedes-Benz EQS makes its debut.
Ford Escort was quite an important nameplate for the brand till it was discontinued when the Focus came around in 2002. The Escort name can now be found on a China-made sedan on our roads that came in 2019. Now, the 2021 Ford Escort gets a thorough facelift in China.
It is no secret that minivans are fast losing their popularity. To keep their heads up, brands give their minivans innovative designs, hoping to lure more attention to these practical boxes. Kia went the crossover route, adding some “rugged” appeal to their new Carnival while Hyundai has taken a different turn with their all-new minivan. The 2021 Hyundai Staria makes its debut with a futuristic, borderline sci-fi design that makes it stand out from almost everything else on the road.
When the 2022 Subaru BRZ came around late last year, it was an answer to the persistent prayers of the petrolhead lot for a faster model, even though they chose not to strap on a turbo. Toyota hinted that the months-ago delay to reveal their sister-model was because it was going to be very different. The 2022 Toyota GR 86 has now broken cover, almost exactly the same as the BRZ except for a different bumper and an abbreviation of Toyota’s Gazoo Racing division stuck on to its name.
Here is the list of all recalls announced around the world in the month of March 2021.
The Nissan Navara is a model sold around the world in different guises. In the United States, the mid-size pickup is called the Nissan Frontier but remained identical to the Navara until a few years ago. Now, for the 2022 model year, there is a new Nissan Frontier in the U.S. but it will now stand separate from the internationally-sold Nissan Navara.
Mild performance vehicles are now a staple in almost all premium manufacturers’ portfolios, be it the Mercedes-AMG 43 line, or Audi S Line. Lexus joins this party with the launch of an F Sport Performance line filling in the gap between its regular body-kitted F-Sport vehicles and the fully blown F models, just to muddy the waters a bit further. Starting this new family is the V8 variant of their smallest sedan, 2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance.
Half a year ago, Hummer made a comeback 11 years after its demise during The Great Recession as a GMC sub-brand with an electric pickup truck. Everyone knew that a Hummer EV SUV was coming and now their beliefs turn into reality. The 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV officially debuts and it looks like a brute, just like the classic Hummer.
