2022 is an interesting year in the automotive market. The EV revolution is here and in full force, most major brands are releasing either hybrid or fully electric models. However, there still are several fuel-powered models to look forward to. So in this list, we will cover some of our favorite models drifiting into the market in 2022.
The new-for-2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient version of the company’s popular SUV/crossover:
EPA combined fuel economy (electric & gasoline): 76 MPGe
EPA combined fuel economy (gasoline): 33 mpg
The new Santa Fe comes with a modern inside, very similar to other EV and Hybrid options:
The Hybrid version of the 2022 Santa Fe doesn't change much in the interior, but that's because the SUV had already received an impressive revamp the year prior including:
The most interesting aspect of this vehicle is the brand new hybrid engine (the first time we will see one in the popular Santa Fe model), and Hyundai does not disappoint:
260 combined horsepower
258 lb-ft combined torque
The Santa Fe Hybrid comes in two different trims, the SEL and the limited. Both the standard and premium versions are more expensive than comparable Hybrids in the market:
Hyundai has yet to confirm the official release date, but analysts expect it to be available by:
The all-new 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes with another hybrid engine that provides both power and fuel efficiency:
The Mercedes sedan is surprisingly well-equipped with top of the edge technology:
the C-Class is keeping its classy look while adding some great technology to the exterior:
According to reviewers, the C-Class drives smooth and powerful thanks to a supercharged engine with an EQ boost:
Although MB has yet to officially price the vehicle, we expect it to be around the price of similar sedan competitors:
If there are no delays, you should expect the 2022 Mercedes-Benz C-Class to hit the streets:
Although Chevy is releasing cheaper versions of the Corvette this year, we want to focus on the monster that will be the high-performance Z06 model:
Of course, the new Z06 has a luxurious inside, but the tech side is still a bit unknown:
The latest Corvette will keep the coupe body type and racing car aesthetic while allowing drivers a lot of customization:
Chevy will debut debuting their brand new engine, the LT6, alongside the Corvette Z06:
If you know anything about Corvettes you are aware that they are not cheap, and the Z06 is not the exception:
You won't have to wait too long for the new Z06, but beware it will have a very limited launch, so keep your eyes out if you want to get your hands on this one:
The Hummer has had one of the most unique release strategies, releasing the most expensive Edition 1 model last year, and this year launching the slightly cheaper EV3x with a few modifications:
The pickup truck has been designed to include a spacious cabin to fit all sizes and activities, plus adding all the cool tech features you would expect in a 2022 model:
Known for off-roading, the exterior of the Hummer EV needs to have all the gadgets aficionados need to enjoy off-roading the electric way:
General Motors has flaunted for a while that its Ultium Batteries are a gem in the EV industry, and those who have driven the Hummer agree:
As we mentioned before, General Motors has a plan of releasing a new model of the Hummer EV each year until 2024, each one significantly cheaper:
Yes, you can pick up the Edition 1 now (tho reservations are full), but if the wallet is tight just wait until 2024 for the still impressive EV2
Ferrari is joining the hybrid supercar world with the 296 GTB, Ferrari's first RWD hybrid:
The inside of the new 296 GTB is a combination of 2022 minimalist design and the usual Ferrari luxury:
The design of the Ferrari 296 GTB is probably our favorite on the entire list. Slick, sexy, and futuristic this model features an exciting new direction for the Italian brand:
If the design wasn't enough, Ferrari's hybrid engine has a reportedly insane performance:
Ferrari has not announced an official price, but European outlets have been speculating for a while:
The 296 GTB has first announced on June 24 of 2021, and if there are no delays, it should be available this year:
The Ford F-150 has been America's best selling car for a few years now, so the Lightning model is an attempt from Ford to get ahead in the EV market, and with two transverse-mounted fixed-magnet AC electric motors, Ford could be winning the race:
One of the biggest upgrades in the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is the interior. Truly a shocking upgrade:
Pretty much the old F-150 design with a little of an EV spark. Ford needs to ensure the towing capabilities remain on-par or better than fuel-powered models:
For those apprehensive about buying an EV pickup truck, does the battery work for towing? Well kinda... the pull is impressive, but you won't get as much power compared to the fuel version:
The price tag for the F-150 Lightning varies significantly depending on the trim:
The Ford F-150 Lightning is fast approaching, so you won't have to wait long for this beast:
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer was the first American full-size luxury SUV; released back in 1984. Now, 38 years later the newest model is launching with a plethora of impressive features:
One of our favorite features of the Grand Wagoneer is the luxurious interior comfort:
Honestly, the exterior design of the 2022 Grand Wagoneer is a little underwhelming. It doesn't offer much innovation from previous models, but if you already loved the Wagoneer look you should be pleased:
Selec-Terrain system offers the following modes: Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand/Mud, and Rock.
Unlike most of the vehicles on the list, the new Wagoneer has no PHEV option, it is fuel only. However, that fuel engine has a lot of power:
The Wagoneer is no cheap ride, and the higher the model the steeper the price:
Finishing off our list, when will the 2022 Grand Wagoneer be released?:
