You’ll also want to consider some of the upcoming sporty SUVs like the Mazda CX-7 and CX-9, the Citroen Z sports coupe, and the Honda Civic.
Mazda CX-7 and CX-9 SUVs
Mazda has announced the release of two new SUVs. The CX-9 is a three-row crossover with a turbocharged engine. This is the largest SUV from the brand and features an attractive interior, along with some of the most advanced safety technologies in its class.
It also has a comfortable ride and is one of the quietest cars on the market. If you want to spend a little more, you can opt for the Touring model, which adds sunshades for the second row windows and leather upholstery. Other options include wireless device charging, a moonroof, and rear-seat captain’s chairs.
Audi e-Tron GT
The e-tron GT from Audi is a sport sedan that comes with a 470-hp engine and a maximum torque of 630 Nm. It is powered by an 800-volt battery architecture and uses a two-speed transmission. This electric car is also available with a ceramic brake package.
The Audi e-tron GT is a four-door luxury performance sport sedan with an impressive powertrain and an aerodynamic profile. It is the first electrified vehicle from Audi that is aimed at enthusiasts.
Mercedes-Benz EQS
Mercedes-Benz has taken a major step towards a fully electric future with the EQS sedan. It’s the first of several new electric vehicles that will be produced by the German automaker.
The EQS is a compact, four-door, luxury sedan that blends futuristic technology and unrelenting power. Aside from its sleek styling, it also boasts a 340-mile WLTP range.
Despite its compact size, the EQS boasts plenty of interior space. It has a trunk that expands to 63 cubic feet with the seats folded down.
BMW X8
The BMW X8 is a sporty SUV, which is expected to be released by the end of 2022. Its styling will be based on the current X7 and will be developed to give it more dynamic feel. This vehicle is also expected to come with a range of performance variants, including the X8 M Competition.
According to reports, the X8 will be a sportier version of the X7, which features a more polarized and coupe-like rear design. There will be three powertrain options available to buyers. The X8 will come with six-cylinder diesel and inline-six petrol engines, as well as a plug-in hybrid option.
Aston Martin Vanquish
Aston Martin has announced its upcoming Vanquish supercar. It will compete in the Italian supercar market. The company also said it will launch a high-output electric vehicle by 2025.
When it comes to styling, Aston is still keeping some of its traditional looks. However, the company says that its next generation supercar will be more road-focused and have aerodynamics inspired by its Valkyrie flagship. This should make it easier for drivers to access the car.
Another interesting point about the upcoming Aston Martin Vanquish is that it will have a manual gearbox. While Aston is known for its use of bonded aluminum structures, the car will likely have a carbon-fiber tub.
Honda Civic
The Honda Civic is one of the most popular compact cars in America. It is a value-oriented vehicle that is fuel-efficient. In addition, it offers a variety of driver assistance features.
The 11th-generation Civic has a new design and a range of improvements in safety and performance. New models include an all-digital LCD driver information display and a revised powertrain. This makes the Civic even more competitive in the segment.
With a base price of $22,350, the Civic comes in a variety of trims, including LX and Sport. Touring and Si add leather upholstery, while the Sport Touring and Type R trims are equipped with all-digital 9-inch touchscreens.
Mazda MX-5 ND3
The Mazda MX-5 is a two-seat sports car with an automatic or manual fabric roof, and it’s a staple of Mazda’s line up. It’s known for its excellent refinement, high-g cornering precision, and a surprisingly low weight.
In the last seven years, the MX-5 has undergone some significant improvements. Among them, a new engine and updated infotainment system. With a base MSRP of $26,830, it’s one of the most affordable sports cars in the market.
The 2.0-litre Mazda MX-5 is powered by a SKYACTIV-G naturally aspirated DOHC motor with 181 horsepower and 184 pounds-feet of torque. Combined with a six-speed manual transmission, it provides an enjoyable driving experience.
Citroen Z sports coupe
In 2022, Nissan will retire the 370Z and replace it with a retro-styled Z sports coupe. The new model shares its underpinnings with the 370Z and is powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 engine. It will be offered with a six-speed manual transmission.
Ford’s next-generation Ranger ute is launching in mid-2022 and will compete with Nissan Navara and Toyota HiLux. A portrait-style touchscreen will be available in higher grades. Another contender is the Isuzu D-Max.
