The next coolest cars will be electric with a range of up to 1,000 km
The world witnessed several global car exhibitions, some of which were already held, and some were canceled due to the Corona virus, and despite the cancellations of exhibitions due to Covid-19, but companies and exhibitions resorted to virtual exhibitions and festivals.
Automakers showed and announced a slate of new concepts, new cars and trucks this week, and, oddly enough, they were all electric cars. Unlike in years past, it seems that many of the 2022 offerings are very close to the reality of driving and with a little willpower we will see them a lot next year. These are some of the coolest cars shown in 2022.
The BMW iX M60 is the coolest car on display in 2022
One of the coolest cars that was shown in the virtual exhibitions, is the electric BMW iX M60 from the German manufacturer BMW, which was shown in September, but it has not yet reached the showrooms. And that didn’t stop Munich’s best car from getting rid of the first all-electric car with the M badge, the iX M60. Although its improved aerodynamic design is a point-of-view factor, BMW says the iX M60 will accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds.
Starting at £111,905 and with a range of 351 miles on a single charge, the BMW iX M60 combines the innovative power of BMW i and BMW M. It is the first all-electric BMW M model in the Performance Activity Vehicle segment. It is powered by two BMW M eDrive engines with electric all-wheel drive BMW xDrive, with 455 kW / 619 hp and a torque of 1100 Nm.
It’s faster than a full-featured M car, and faster than the competitive X5 M of similar size.
It really is one of the coolest cars, based on a skateboard-style platform, with more interior space and a lower center of gravity.
It can be charged to 80% with a DC charger in less than 35 minutes.
Deliveries are expected to begin in June of 2022.
It differs from the EX that we have tested and evaluated.
Chrysler
Airflow One of the Coolest Cars for 2022
The public got
their first glimpse into Chrysler’s all-electric future in 2020, when one of the coolest cars called “Vision Airflow” debuted as a static design model intended to showcase an open and airy interior .
This enigmatic concept appeared again in 2021 in the media presentation of the original car manufacturer Stellantis, but almost nothing was mentioned about the model at the time.
Over the past decade, Chrysler has been giving us the coolest cars, but Chrysler’s number has dwindled to just two, an old 300 sedan, and a new 2017 Pacifica pickup. The auto industry has finally rolled its secrets, revealed the long-awaited car and talked extensively about the future of the brand.
And about this new car, said Kristen Foyle, CEO of Chrysler.
The
Airflow won’t hit the market until 2025, but it ushered in a new generation of all-electric Chrysler cars.
It really is one of the coolest cars, and of course it won’t be the only great Chrysler, as Kristen confirmed that four to six other models might eventually join her.
Chevrolet
Equinox EV The Coolest Car of 2022
The pandemic-related slowdown hurt Chevrolet’s numbers in 2021, but the practical and affordable Chevrolet Equinox was the third best-selling SUV in America in 2020, according to Motor Intelligence data.
It’s one of the coolest cars, and that’s what made General Motors’ decision to give it a technically significant change.
But GM hasn’t provided any mechanical details about the new car , other than the fact that it will use a
Ultium battery when it raised the issue of the 2024 Equinox EV at fairs recently.
We found one of the coolest cars. The Equinox EV’s sleek and sporty design makes it a Buick, and it bears some resemblance to General Motors’ Envision SUV.
Inside, front passengers will be treated to a wall of pseudo-screens, and you’ll feel like you’re in a Lexus or Audi.
Chevrolet says the price of the electric Equinox will start at about $30,000, up $3,000 over the current petrol-powered First Class, and deliveries of the new electric vehicle are expected to begin in the fall of 2023.
Chevrolet Silverado EV One of the Coolest Cars of 2022
Pickups accounted for nearly a quarter of new car sales in 2021, and old automakers and start-ups alike were bracing for an onslaught of all-electric trucks to lure truck buyers.
Many people expected Chevrolet to follow in the footsteps of the electric-adapted Ford F-150 Lightning for its current Silverado pickup truck
, but GM went in a different direction.
Introduction to us one of the coolest cars.
Rather than reusing the traditional chassis-on-chassis truck architecture, it relied on a skateboard platform and monocoque that is shared with GMC’s Hummer EV.
Like the Hummer, it also features a compact bed and relatively low payload capacity, but its design is SUV-like, much like the long-discontinued Chevrolet Avalanche.
The electric Silverado will go on sale next year and will debut as a work truck, with a high-end street truck that will follow.
Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX One of the coolest cars of 2022
At first glance, this new Mercedes-Benz concept looks like a high-performance machine.
In fact, the truth is different,
it is a car that has a coefficient of drag of just 17, as if it was designed to bend the ground at LeMans races, however, the aerodynamics are intended to maximize its range rather than hinder it .
The automaker claims the vehicle’s lightweight, highly efficient systems are capable of providing an astounding 621 miles (999,4001) miles from a battery pack of less than 100 kWh.
The coupe-like sedan features a highly efficient aerodynamic design and a battery pack that is lighter and smaller than current Mercedes electric cars.
They also use recycled and bio-engineered materials that increase their sustainability, including a plant-based, mushroom-based “leather”.
Its display in international exhibitions was canceled and the company displayed it only by default.
Not only did it look like one of the coolest cars, it looked stunning and futuristic.
Designed to showcase the automaker’s next generation of electrical technology, the EQXX battery pack is half the size of the battery found in the Sarah EQS, 30% lighter in weight and featuring a 20% higher cell energy density.
It also uses an innovative passive air cooling system to reduce stress on the cells.
Many elements of the EQXX will reach production, possibly as early as 2024, said Markus Schaefer, chief technology officer at Mercedes-Benz.
Sony Vision-S SUV One of the Coolest Cars of 2022
Two years after
the Vision-S sedan was presented at international fairs , the Japanese electronics giant Sony returned in 2022 to dazzle us with one of the most amazing cars, armed with a mid-size crossover, called the Vision-S 02. Like many car companies Electric cars, and many older companies trying to break into the car market, Sony showed us prototypes of some of the coolest cars, but Sony’s Vision-S designs seem well thought out, with many details that look almost production ready.
Today’s cars are electronics on wheels and this seems like a perfect opportunity for Sony.
Which will integrate into its Vision-S car the capabilities of a Sony PlayStation 5 console. Especially since Sony also has experience designing car audio systems for manufacturers.
A total of 40 sensors were installed inside and outside the vehicle to monitor safety.”
However, Sony has no direct experience with the auto industry, and while it announced a partnership with supplier Magna-Steyr to help make the previous Vision-S sedan roadworthy, it’s unclear who might help build the vehicles.
The company says the Vision-S 02 will seat four or seven passengers depending on the configuration and will be powered by two 268-horsepower electric motors.
However, the range, price and date of sale remain unknown.
The Cadillac InnerSpace is one of the coolest cars of 2022
Cadillac has expanded its vision for autonomous personal mobility of the future with the InnerSpace concept – a luxury two-passenger electric and autonomous vehicle.
Leveraging cutting-edge technologies designed to enhance the occupant experience and preserve their personal time through fully autonomous mobility, InnerSpace is growing the Cadillac Halo Concept Portfolio range of vehicles envisioned to not only carry occupants in a luxury environment but enhance their well-being.
A vision of the future of autonomous driving, it is also a quiet pampering lounge without traditional controls.
The Cadillac Halo Concept Portfolio represents future possibilities with a suite of personalized autonomous driving options and advanced connected car features.
It is one of the most amazing cars, says Brian Nesbitt, CEO of General Motors, and it was designed to provide an easy ride through extraordinary means.”
“They are visions for the next decade and beyond, and show the possibilities offered by GM’s comprehensive approach to autonomous technology with the goal of a world without accidents, zero emissions, and zero congestion.”
In contrast to previous Cadillac “wires”, the InnerSpace’s exterior design takes cues from the old Cadillac coupe, from the 1967 Eldorado to the 2013 ElMiraj concept, and remixes them into futuristic lozenges reminiscent of Audi’s Skysphere concept.
The side doors are complemented by an open roof, and other details closer to the late 1960s, seen on concepts as far away as the 1969 Dodge Charger III or the 1970 Lancia Stratos Zero.
It seems unlikely that this reinvented luxury personal car will hit the road any time soon.
The BMW iX Flow is one of the coolest cars of 2022
In the opening sequence of Cannonball Run II, in which Burt Reynolds has long been chasing thieves, a pair of Lamborghini-led runners (actresses Susan Anton and Katherine Bach) trick the cops by changing Countach’s white paint to red with an (unexplained) trick through the process. chemical.
Now BMW has made that imagination possible with E Ink, a technology used to make text appear on e-readers like Amazon’s Kindle.
While the color options are limited to white or gray and the iX SUV isn’t exactly a cinematic trick, when things get technical: Imagine your next BMW in white on hot days and black on cold days.
You only have to press a button.
The BMW iX Flow demonstrates the beauty of this new dazzling look at the world show held by the German manufacturer in Las Vegas.
Introducing us a view of one of the coolest cars.
The BMW iX Flow color changing system is the answer.
Where she can digitally change her appearance.
The body is coated with an electrophoresis membrane containing microcapsules the diameter of a human hair.
Each capsule contains white, black or colored particles of different charge that become visible when a specific electric field is applied.
This creates what is known as an electronic paper display (EPD).
The surface of the BMW iX Flow is covered with millions of microcapsules of E Ink, which contain negatively charged white and dark positively charged pigments.
Depending on your preference, you can change the gradient between either, with the pigments moving toward the surface by an electric field.
The effect is dramatic even if the painting is limited, but don’t expect to see this paint on iXs anytime soon.
BMW says this SUV is a purely design experiment.
Chevrolet
Blazer EV The Coolest Cars of 2022
The most mysterious reveal at the 2022 World Shows was the announcement by General Motors CEO Mary Barra that in addition to the electric Equinox EV, Chevrolet will also build an all-electric Blazer by the end of 2023. While great images abounded of the Equinox EV, it seemed The images of the Blazer EV are not so
clear.
The current gasoline Blazer was introduced in 2019 , but as GM migrated its electric vehicles to platforms based on the Ultium battery architecture.
This new model may have a larger, longer range version of the Equinox EV rather than adapting it to the current model of the Blazer.
A new platform will be built for it, and given that GM’s current Bolt EV and EUV have a range of at least 247 miles (397,507 km), odds are good that the new Chevy EVs will provide at least that.
But the upcoming Blazer’s larger footprint could mean multiple battery options.
Barra also hinted at a wide variety of decors.
Given that the Equinox price is set to start at $30,000 and the current Blazer starts at about $35,000, the price will likely be in the $36-39,000 range.
When more details are available, we will bring them to your attention.
VinFast VF5, VF6 and VF7 The Coolest Cars of 2022
After an impressive debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November last year, Vietnamese automaker VinFast showed three new crossovers at the 2022 shows. While the company may have a little heritage, since it was only founded in 2017 (but the company Mother VinGroup dates back to 1993) and she holds big ambitions.
In 2022, it plans to go into the production of electric cars.
Vinfast’s dreams are not limited to the Vietnam market, and she is thinking of starting to sell cars in the United States and building a battery factory there.
Since VinFast doesn’t have a long legacy of internal combustion vehicles, achieving this first goal is a little easier than it would be for a more established company.
The company recently offered the VF9 SUV at a price between $41,000 and $56,000, roughly the same price as the Hyundai Santa Fe and Palisade.
The Vietnamese company claims the VF8 has 300 miles (482,802 kilometers) of range, and the VF9 nearly 420 miles (675.9228 kilometers), and
VinFast Global CEO Le Thi Thu Thuy took laps from three smaller cars, the VF5 compact cars. , the VF6 minivan, and the VF7, which are comparable to Hyundai Venue, Kia Seltos and Honda CR-V respectively.
Although power, range, and pricing haven’t been announced, these all-electric vehicles are stylish cars.
