2022 New Geely Crossover

Geely Crossover

The new Geely crossover has shared not only Volvo technology with the Tugella coupe. The Chinese SUV is similar to the model of the Swedish brand, but inside they installed three screens. The front passenger has its own touchscreen. The manufacturer himself has so far revealed only the design of the novelty, but the main characteristics have long been merged by the Chinese Ministry of Industry.

The SUV was known under the in house index KX11 and now the brand name for the home market has been announced Xingyue L. The cars are built on the Compact Modular Architecture, created by the Chinese together with Volvo, the same platform is at the heart of the Geely Preface sedan, most of the Lynk and Co brand cars a joint project of Geely and Volvo.

It is assumed that the Geely KX11 will be available in a three row version. The previous spy photo of the interior created the illusion that the crossover received a multimedia system with a touchscreen stretched almost the entire width of the front panel. Now you can see that there are two screens, although both are hidden under a single glass. It is curious that the third display, the same tidy, does not adjoin the rest. By the way, Volvo models do not have a separate screen for the front passenger yet.

The new SUV will be offered with a 2.0 gasoline turbo four, familiar from other models of the Geely holding. The engine has two power options, the version with the 4G20TDJ index produces 218 horsepower, the 4G20TDB produces 238 horsepower. No boxes listed. The Chinese media predict an eight-speed automatic transmission for the novelty and the cross can also be offered with a seven speed robotic gearbox with two clutches. Later, the SUV can still get a hybrid installation. But whether the Xingyue L has four wheel drive is unknown.

Some media believe that the Geely crossover will celebrate its public premiere in April at the Shanghai Auto Show. The new SUV will certainly be sent for export, but apparently by the end of 2021.

Toyota Camry Aggressive GR Sport Aerodynamic Kit And Stylish Modellista ...

Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry is an automobile sold internationally by the Japanese manufacturer Toyota since 1982 spanning multiple generations. Originally compact in size narrow-body later Camry models have grown to fit the mid-size classification wide-body although the two sizes co-existed in the 1990s. Since the release of the wide bodied versions, Camry has been extolled by Toyota as the firms second world car after the Corolla. In Japan, Camry was once exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store retail dealerships.

The latest generation of the Toyota Camry adopts a much sharper more aggressive look than the sometimes unassuming some might say boring appearance of earlier models. Toyota quickly released Camry Gazoo Racing sports aerodynamic kit. Although Camrys original design is already very sporty, after the GR kit is on the body, it seems to have a feeling of even more wings.

The slightly modified Camry was released in the Japanese market not long ago. It also follows the tradition of other Toyota models. Toyota major refitting companies have launched modification kits for this car. The most special style is the GR Sport is up. In fact, this version does not take the exaggerated route like Modellista, but is modified on the original details and added side skirts, so basically it has not changed much, but it seems that the style is stronger. The construction of movement is quite successful.

Angular side sills decorate the lower flanks of the car. At the back, a rear lip spoiler is on the tip of the trunk. Revised rear bumper trim spans the area between the exhausts. The GR parts also include a a set of 19-inch wheels with a complicated spoke pattern in black and a polished rim.

The Modellista components include a set of 19-inch wheels with an angular spoke pattern. There is also a 17-inch design with a swirling pattern.

The company improved the safety tech suite's camera and radar elements for longer range sensing and better functionality in low light conditions. The company also adds an XSE trim level for the Camry Hybrid.

2022 Toyota Tundra – What the next generation Tundra might look like.

Toyota Tundra

The Toyota Tundra is a pickup truck produced in the United States by the Japanese manufacturer Toyota since May 1999. The Tundra was the second full-size pickup to be built by a Japanese manufacturer (the first was the Toyota T-100), but the Tundra was the first full-size pickup from a Japanese manufacturer to be built in North America. The Tundra was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year award and was Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year in 2000 and 2008. Initially built in a new Toyota plant in Princeton, Indiana, production was consolidated in 2008 to Toyota's San Antonio, Texas, factory and is the only full-size pickup truck manufactured in Texas.

The shape and proportions of the body of the second generation Tundra are very successful and large pickups do not require any radical transformation of their appearance due to their purpose, so we made the main changes to the front and rear. With the new spy photos of the new Tundra the pickup received a slightly enlarged grille with a new finish, narrower and horizontally elongated LED headlights and a different bumper. The sidewalls have become more prominent due to new stamping on the front and rear fenders. The pickup has also seen a noticeable change in the rear thanks to new headlights with LED elements in the style of the updated Hilux and a different bumper. Tundra also received new side mirrors.

The current Tundra is offered with two petrol engine options. The base is the 4.6-L 8 cylinder which develops 310 horsepower and 439Nm of torque. A more powerful modification is equipped with a 5.7-L V8 engine with 381 horsepower, and 543Nm of torque. The drive can be either rear or all wheel drive with the 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Earlier unconfirmed reports indicated that it will premiere in December 2021 for the 2022 model year, riding on the TNGA-F platform and powered by a twin turbo V6 engine.

Nissan Pathfinder

The All-New 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is staying in the family crossover milieu. The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder bringing the techno chic curb appeal of the redesigned Rogue and facelifted Armada in midsize three row crossover form. This new version of the three row SUV prioritizes cupholders over suspension travel, although it does looks a bit more rugged and far more modern than before. And if you are keen on nostalgia, know that Nissan has incorporated at least one subtle design cue from the original, the three slats at the top of the grille that hark back to the first generation truck based Pathfinder.

The Pathfinder also adds a long list of safety and connectivity equipment to its roster with family friendly interior packaging and reasonable performance to boot. The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder SUV should also be more enjoyable to drive since Nissan is throwing the old model droning continuously variable transmission in the scrap heap replaced by a conventional nine speed automatic gearbox. Though still a unibody crossover SUV with either front or all-wheel drive, the new Pathfinder offers seven different terrain modes as well as up to 6,000 pounds of towing capacity.

The new Pathfinder dashboard looks far more attractive and its tech offerings are finally up to class standards. The standard infotainment system is an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity upper trims offer a larger 9.0-inch screen and can be had with wireless Apple CarPlay capability. The top Platinum trim also comes with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a head up display along with nicer leather trim.

The naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 engine is carryover but its specs remain competitive enough in the three-row SUV segment, 284 horsepower and 259 pound feet of torque. The biggest powertrain change is a nine speed automatic from supplier ZF that replaces the continuously variable automatic from before. Front wheel drive is standard with all-wheel drive optional on all trims and all wheel drive models get a set of driving modes meant for various terrains including snow, sand, and mud.

The Pathfinder should be an impressively stress free place to while away a long road trip. Adding to that sense of tranquility will be acoustic laminated front door glass, thicker rear door glass, and added door and floor isolation.

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder trim, S, SV, SL, and Platinum will be available in front or all-wheel drive.

All-New 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor

Ford F-150 Raptor

The 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor takes the same approach as the standard F-150. It does not look all that different or more exciting than the truck that came before, regardless of whether you are studying it is physique or taking in the cabin. But more than even the bread and butter truck Ford based it on, the third generation Raptor hides major innovations.

The Blue Ovals high-performance pickup truck does not look dramatically different than the model it replaces, but the new design further emphasizes the trucks broadness of beam and most importantly still looks badass. The Raptor also gets a redesigned rear suspension, a new five link coil spring setup that replaces the outgoing trucks leaf springs plus larger internal bypass dampers. Combined with newly available 37-inch tires, this generation should be even more capable off road. Inside, the Raptor inherits styling and features from the recently redesigned F-150. Highlights include a fully digital gauge cluster, a 12.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a shifter that folds flat into the center console.

The 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor aims to fly higher pound across the desert faster and look meaner than its predecessor. This all new third generation Raptor remains a bulkier body double of the regular F-150, which means they share technology and several innovative features. However, Ford high-performance pickup truck is also fitted with impressive off road equipment, such as a sophisticated long travel suspension and available 37-inch all-terrain tires. Assisting the Raptor powerful twin turbo V6 is a paddle shifted 10 speed automatic transmission, and standard all-wheel-drive. Though its engine should produce at least 450 horsepower that is still relatively wimpy compared with the 702 horsepower Hellcat V8 in the Ram 1500 TRX. That is why Ford is developing an even more ferocious Raptor R that should mark the return of a raucous V8 engine that earns it entry into the 700 horsepower club.

We know the 2021 F-150 Raptor takes an evolutionary step over the outgoing model. The twin turbocharged V6 endures under the hood presumably packing at least 450 horsepower though with the TRX and its Hellcat V8 walking tall, a power boost from the Blue Oval seems not just logical, but necessary. Perhaps of greater news is the Raptor retuned five link suspension that offers gobs of travel.

As for the V8 powered Raptor R, Ford tells us it will arrive in 2022 though we do not know if that is a debut date or an on sale date.

Ford has finally pulled the covers off the new generation F-150 Raptor.

2022 Mini Cooper S – Gets Googly Eye Headlights And A Multi-Tone Roof

The 2022 Mini Cooper S

The 2022 Mini Cooper is an icon in the automotive world, with its cheeky styling, notoriously sharp handling and cornucopia of personalization possibilities. Offered in hardtop three and five door body styles as well as a ragtop convertible, the Cooper is the brands bread and butter. Buyers can choose between a 134 horsepower three-cylinder or a 189 horsepower four-cylinder engine the latter of which is the better match to the Minis fun to drive chassis. While base models offer an affordable price tag, the better equipped S models encroach on entry luxury car territory, putting them in contention with small sedans and hatchbacks from Mercedes-Benz and BMW a tough crowd. Still, the Cooper is a good choice for drivers who value style as much as they appreciate driving enjoyment.

Mini has given the Cooper a facelift for the 2022 model year, which consists of updated front and rear bumpers, a revised grille, new wheel designs, and the introduction of some bold new colors, including a cool color shifting Multitone roof option. The interior sees several upgrades as well, including a redesigned steering wheel, a new checker patterned upholstery option, and tweaked air vents. Mini has also revised some interior trim, and made changes to the infotainment system, making the larger 8.8 inch display standard across the lineup. Also newly standard is a digital gauge display, lane departure warning, and SiriusXM satellite radio.

The most apparent change to the exterior of the Cooper is on the front end. Designers replaced the traditional gloss black grille insert with a body colored trim piece, which gives the small hatchback a cleaner look. The new Mini features a set of standard LED headlights, a few unique 17 and 18 inch wheel options, and the rear end gets a similar simplified treatment with more body colored inserts. The Union Jack taillight treatment does carry over it will be a fixture on every Mini model beginning next year, and there are three bright new hues available for 2022, Island Blue, Grey Metallic, and Zesty Yellow.

The interior every 2022 Mini Cooper is a refreshed dash design that simplifies the layout via repositioned air vents and updated surfaces, plus a piano black plastic finish wraps around the now standard 8.8 inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay compatibility. There are also a few new ambient lighting options, as well as a fresh Light Chequered cloth seating option and for the first time, a heated leather steering wheel.

The base Cooper Hardtop sports the same turbocharged 1.5 liter three-cylinder as last year good for 134 horsepower and 220 newton meter of torque, paired to either a standard six-speed manual gearbox or an optional seven speed dual-clutch. The Cooper S remains slightly more powerful, producing 189 horsepower and 281 newton meter of torque from the same turbocharged 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine from last year. And the John Cooper Works stays the most powerful option of the bunch, offering 228 horsepower and 320 newton-meter of torque. The electric Cooper SE also carries over with no powertrain updates, still offering 184 horsepower and 366 newton meter of torque, with an EPA estimated 177 kilometers of range.
