How many SUVs are too many SUVs? Hyundai seems to have trouble answering this question as they still dish out new crossovers by the hour. The South Korean brand already has one of the most crossover-rich lineups but that has not stopped them from launching yet another one. Here is the Hyundai Alcazar, a seven-seat version of the Creta launched in India.
Mitsubishi is finally rolling down the curtains on the fourth-generation Pajero after 15 years on sale with almost no changes. The Japanese brand launched a Mitsubishi Pajero Final Edition in Australia, after they stopped selling the SUV in Japan back in 2019.
Hyundai’s N division may be relatively new to the performance arena but with its strong lineup, it certainly has made enough noise to get noticed. But their arsenal still has a crossover-shaped hole in it, which the new 2022 Hyundai Kona N fills in.
The Honda Civic has always been a key to the rising popularity of Honda across the world. With the crossover fad engulfing the market as we speak, the Civic is one of the few sedan nameplates that still stand tall. For the eleventh generation of the sedan, Honda had previewed a dialled-down design. The production version has now debuted, looking much the same as the concept, although in this case, it’s not saying much.
The Lexus ES is the Japanese brand’s only answer to the Mercedes Benz E-Class and BMW 5-Series sedans, now that the sportier GS sedan has been killed off. For the 2022 model year, Lexus has refreshed the ES to compete better with its more technology-laden rivals.
Crossovers are the most popular vehicle segment now, and Hyundai is been keen to exploit it. The South Korean brand has one of the largest crossover SUV portfolios in the world and to this, they add a new one. Here is the 2021 Hyundai Bayon, yet another entrant to the big stage, hoping to make an impression.
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.
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.
