Throughout 2021, due to the lack of core and the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, daimler, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, PSA and other auto giants have announced production cuts in the year. In 2022, several international A-class auto shows, including Geneva, have also been confirmed to be postponed or even cancelled. Although the profitability of car companies is not satisfactory, fortunately, the new car listing plan that consumers expect has not stopped. What new cars to look forward to in 2022?
1. BMW i4
The BMW i4 is BMW's true 4 Series coupe with electric drivetrain. The model is scheduled to be available in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the i4 will be available in both single-motor and dual-motor configurations. Both models are powered by an 83.9 kWh battery pack.
Among them, the i4 M50, which is equipped with dual motors and four-wheel drive, is undoubtedly the focus of the i4 series. With the boost mode, the model is able to burst out a maximum power of 469 horsepower and a peak torque of 730 Nm, which is enough for the four-wheel drive i4 to complete a 100-kilometer acceleration in 3.7 seconds.
In terms of charging, the i4 inherits the fast charging function of the iX model, which can accept 200 kilowatts of DC fast charging, and the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes. It can be said that the i4 is the model that really shows the performance of the BMW 4 Series to the fullest. That's the biggest reason it makes the list.
2. Toyota GR86
At the beginning of November 2021, Toyota officially announced the introduction of a new generation of GR86 in China. This is definitely a major good news for domestic people-friendly sports car enthusiasts.
The tail of the new gr86 is beautiful, its wheel arches are designed with a sense of power, the C-type taillights echoing the headlights are perfectly matched with the tail lines, and the large-caliber exhaust of the bilateral double is to show the surrounding vehicles its good strength after "core change". The new GR86 was replaced by a 2.4-litre horizontal-mounted four-cylinder engine code-named FA24, which is a notch higher in performance than the current 2.0-liter engine.
The drive section is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the new Sport mode allows for faster downshift operation. It is only regrettable that gr86 has not passed the emission standards of China VIb at present, and if it does not upgrade the emissions accordingly, it will not be able to sell in first-tier cities after being introduced into China.
3. Acura Integra
If you're a die-hard Honda fan, you've definitely heard the name Integra. The model was updated four generations after its launch in 1985, and finally had to be discontinued in 2006 due to sluggish overall sales in the coupe market. Now, after 15 years, the Acura brand announced that it will resurrect Integra and released a teaser.
Acura officially stressed that the new Integra will return to the brand matrix with the same driving pleasure and DNA as before. The new car adopts Acura's latest family design language, the LED headlight group with daytime running lights is very in line with the modern style, the blackened middle net plus the large size of the Acura logo, the entire front face is still a "fighting posture" that Duntian is good at.
The new car is likely to be equipped with the same 1.5T engine as the Civic Si. According to the head of Acura USA, integra Type-S is already under development, so it is likely that a higher-spec 2.0T engine will be installed on the Integra Type-S.
4. Nissan Z
Many domestic consumers' cognition of Nissan Z models began with a movie more than a decade ago - "Fast and Furious 3 Tokyo Drift", and even fanatical riders went directly to the second-hand car market to find 350Z after watching the movie. Now the 370Z has just been discontinued for more than a year, and a successor has appeared.
Nissan directly named it Nissan Z. It is very different from the old 370Z, and it can be seen from its appearance that it is a very "clean" sports car. It does not have any exaggerated lines and complex design, and the iconic design of the Z series that can be found is only teardrop headlights, and the interior of the headlights has a good recognition after using the upper and lower split light cavity.
The new taillights adopt the popular through-line design, and the overall look is very much in line with the expectations of young people for future cars. The car will be launched in early 2022, but there are no plans to introduce it into China.
5. Tesla Cybertruck
Since Tesla first launched the Cyberteruck in 2019, a prototype that resembles a concept car, Tesla has not yet revealed any information about the mass-produced model. When the car was first released, most consumers scoffed at it, believing that it was just one of the many marketing tools musk used to run Tesla Motors.
However, with the passage of time, the Cyberruck, which is made of 30 times cold-rolled stainless steel, is finally about to show its true face, and the order volume on Tesla's official website has exceeded 1.2 million units. Although the deposit is only $100, if you exclude some of the moisture, the real order volume left behind is even 200,000 vehicles, which is enough for Tesla to be busy for a while.
I hope that this time Tesla will no longer skip tickets, let's also see what this Cyberruck that redefines the "future electric pickup" looks like.
6. Tesla Roadster
It is also a product that makes the electric vehicle field "earthquake-level", Tesla's new generation of Roadster has been released as early as 2017, when the built-in three motors, four-wheel drive, peak torque of 1000 Nm, 100 km acceleration time of 1.9 seconds these data single out to make an electric car will make people exclaim, and Tesla will be all the above technology on the new generation of Roadster.
In September of the same year, Musk said on his personal social media that the new technology to build cars has made it nearly 100 times more difficult to produce than before. As a result, the Tesla Roadster, which was originally scheduled to be produced in 2021, was delayed until 2022.
In fact, even in early 2022, Tesla's supply chain problems have not been completely solved, so whether we can see the new generation of Roadster on the market in 2022 is still unknown.
7. Citroën Ami
The Ami's debut also dates back to a concept car called the Ami One unveiled at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. Today, the production version retains the concept car's compact body shape, and the body lines are designed to be more rounded.
The Ami is 2410 mm, 1390 mm and 1520 mm in length, width and height, and the body size is very mini, with an exclusive reverse opening door to maximize the convenience of occupants getting on and off the car. Equipped with a 5.5 kWh battery, the Ami offers a range of 70 km and can be fully charged in 3 hours.
The car will be launched in the UK in 2022, and unlike other markets in Europe, when driving an Ami in the UK, you will need to provide a full sedan driving license to drive onto the road.
8. Ford Roadbreaker
It's been seven years since the Road Breaker went public in 2015. As the first SUV introduced by Jiangling Ford and ford's first non-carrier 7-seat SUV in China, it is naturally of great significance to Jiangling Ford.
This year we have finally ushered in a change of road shakers, and the new car is based on the third generation of the T6 platform. The new car has greatly changed in appearance, the segmented headlights of the left and right square shapes are quite hard, and the whole vehicle uses a large number of square lines to create an off-road atmosphere.
In terms of power, it is reported that the new car is likely to be equipped with a 2.3T engine with a hybrid system, and a 2.7T V-type six-cylinder engine is available for selection. In terms of drivetrain, it is matched with a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission.
9. Ferrari Purosangue
Ferrari announced the launch of The Purengue back in 2018 and has promised to make a full-scale debut by the end of 2022. At present, Ferrari has revealed that the powertrain of the new car will include hybrid and pure internal combustion engine models.
The Purosangue features Ferrari's all-new front mid-engine architecture. The powertrain is placed between the driver and the front axle, and the dual-clutch transmission is located at the rear of the car, which has the advantage of designing a better balance on the body counterweight. Judging from the spy photos currently exposed, Purosangue is likely to adopt the shape of a crossover SUV, and the entire body posture is a bit like a hunting model.
Today Lamborghini has Urus, Aston Martin has DBX, Rolls-Royce has Cullinan and Bentley has Bentayga. These ultra-luxury brand SUVs have formed a battle line, and we will wait and see how high the arrival of the final Ferrari Purengue can explode.
10. Audi A4avant
Audi has previously announced that it will no longer launch fuel versions after 2025. Therefore, the new generation of A4Avant in front of us is very likely to become the ultimate song of the Audi A4Avant series equipped with an internal combustion engine.
A pure electric version based on Volkswagen's PPE modular electric vehicle platform is also about to be launched, which will launch a number of pure electric models for the Volkswagen Group in the future. The new generation of A4 Avant is based on an updated version of the MLB Evo platform, powered by a 2.0T gasoline engine or 2.0T diesel engine for consumers to choose from, and will also be equipped with a 48V light mix system to improve fuel economy.
The model exposed by the spy photo is the A4Avant with chassis code name B10, and from the current testing stage, the car is expected to debut at the end of 2022.
