Although there is a lot of talk about all-electric vehicles hitting the market next year, the Plug-in Hybrid SUV class is expected to rise significantly in 2022.
The 2022 Toyota
RAV4 is at the top of its game. It is both seductive and provocative. It
benefits from a veritable plethora of advanced technologies and its range of
engines has something for everyone. In fact, this is the key to the success of
the model since it is no longer the numbers that we see first or even its
description. The 2022 Toyota Rav4 is perfectly capable of giving us love at
first sight and making us experience strong emotions. 10 years ago, it would
have been impossible to describe a Toyota SUV like this to you, but things have
changed and we can only appreciate it.
The newest
generation of the Lexus NX compact SUV is sure to turn heads. Design,
technology, connectivity, driving, comfort. Back to the main strengths of the
Japanese SUV. Introduced in 2014, the Lexus NX quickly became a staple of
Toyota's premium brand. Sold in more than a million copies worldwide since its
launch, Lexus' star SUV is getting a facelift at the start of the year. The New
NX is the brand's first model to offer a plug-in hybrid version.
The fourth-generation
Hyundai Tucson features an unprecedented 230 horsepower hybrid powertrain,
supporting a range also offering two gasoline and diesel micro-hybrids. The Tucson IV cuts a fine figure in the compact SUV category.
However, its brand-new design hides its unchanged width of 1.86m and height of
1.65m. Particular work concerns the daytime running lights and diodes, which
perfectly match the design of the grille.
Ford's luxury
brand demonstrates that it wants to reshape its identity. The silhouette of the
Aviator prototype is grandiose, the shield is imposing and it is fair to say
that this future mid-size crossover fits perfectly into the brand's recent
strategy. For the moment, Lincoln does not say too much about this future
product, but what is certain is that the platform is new, because unlike the
Ford Explorer which uses a front-wheel-drive architecture, that of the Aviator
is rear-wheel drive. In addition, Lincoln intends to propel its Aviator with a
twin-turbo engine combined with a plug-in hybrid engine.
The first model in
the TFSI e range, the Audi Q5 plug-in hybrid is an SUV is equipped with a heat
pump which limits the consumption of auxiliary equipment such as heating or air
conditioning. Equipped with a 7.4 kW on-board charger, the Audi Q5 Hybrid can
be recharged in around 2.5 hours using a domestic charging station. On a standard
socket, allow 5 to 6 hours for a full charge.
After a long wait,
Mitsubishi is unveiling the new generation of plug-in hybrid Outlander. After
three generations, the most famous plug-in hybrid SUV is getting an update. The
Mitsubishi Outlander shows itself in a brand-new version, which marks the break
with the outgoing generation and reviews its autonomy on the rise. The new
Outlander offers a seven-passenger configuration. Its interior is also changing
in depth with a serious upgrade in terms of finishes.
The 2022 MINI
Cooper modernizes nicely, while its reliability continues to climb. It remains
a more emotional than rational purchase, especially in 3-door format with its
persistent space and ergonomic shortcomings, but it retains good value. The
MINI 2022 essentially retains the form we already knew. Its handling is sound,
but if you ever find the ride getting harsh, pavement flaws are easy to avoid
with such precise and enjoyable steering.
Introduced on the
market in 2016, the Kia Niro quickly met with success. In particular in its
100% electric version e-Niro which, it returns as one of the most homogeneous
and most sober electrics. Kia will continue to offer its Niro SUV in hybrid,
plug-in hybrid and all-electric versions. Hybrid models, and in particular the
PHEV plug-in.
