The automotive industry in 2022 was tough for automakers. In his year full of big changes, including the introduction of new emissions legislation and the move to electric vehicles, auto companies have also had to struggle to keep up with growing consumer demand for new technology. . And they had to keep up with the times to create exciting new cars.
Despite all these adjustments, there have been some big hits in the automotive world since this year. come K5, from the delightful GR86 Toyotaand epic fordMustang GT500. That said, you can’t always get what you want, which can be frustrating, so we made a list of the top 10 cars. The cars on this list either left us wanting more from the manufacturer or left us confused as to where they belong in the automotive world.
Ten 2022 Honda CR-V
No one expected the 2022 Honda CR-V to disappoint. Not really a bad car. It’s not a massive improvement over the CR-Vs we’ve been driving for the last 5-10 years. Seeing it was like opening a box of new Nike shoes and finding old shoes with new fabric sewn on them.
This is not to say the CR-V was a very exciting vehicle. But if you release a new version of something that’s not so good, you can just use it as is. Honda didn’t do that—they just replaced the old part with a “new” one, put it in a new box, and said here they go.
9 2022 BMW X4M
BMW, by contrast, has long had a reputation for building high-performance cars, especially in the M division. But his latest X4 M doesn’t live up to the M’s reputation.
At 473 horsepower on paper, it feels like it should be able to perform better than it actually is. It’s slow and underpowered for its class. It can’t even compete with other small sports SUVs. Most of them are cheaper, faster, better equipped and more exciting.according to car and driverthe base price of the X4 M is $74,595,At that cost, the entire market is flooded with performance SUVs, leaving M SUVs in the dust.
8 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross
Unfortunately disappointing as this car has an identity crisis. The Corolla Cross is a crossover SUV, but the name Corolla is often thought of as a hatchback.
Also, it’s not an SUV. It’s a regular old crossover with a raised roofline and plastic body cladding to make it look like an SUV. In fact, this “SUV” looks more like a hatchback than anything else. But the main problem we have is that it doesn’t live up to the Corolla name and isn’t worth wearing.
7 2022 Honda Accord
The Honda Accord is one of those cars with a very long history. Unfortunately, the 2022 deal has not lived up to expectations.
The new Accord is a half-hearted effort to take cars into the future. There are some cool new features, but nothing really exciting when you look at it in person on paper. The sporty SUV of the has been taken over. That leaves a car like the Accord looking dated and disappointing unless it receives some major updates.
6 2022 Honda Passport Trail Sport
Honda is a company that has been doing well lately (except for the cars on this list). The brand has found success by releasing his SUVs at every opportunity, producing some of the most exciting cars on the market. But when it came to the 2022 Honda Passport Trailsport, things didn’t go as planned.
Since the model’s initial release, we have wanted a real improvement on this model. Instead, it ended up with the same bland design with slight cosmetic touches that made it look like an off-roader. They haven’t done anything for that her 4×4 performance.
Five 2022 Toyota bZ4X
It’s no secret that the Toyota bZ4X was a huge disappointment. It started out with a lot of hype and potential, but when they launched it we realized it was too complicated and boring and didn’t meet the claimed scope. .
There are great competitors on the market today that offer something more exciting, user-friendly, and can go even further.
Four 2022 Subaru Solterra
Like its twin Toyota bZ4X, this car is too complicated. The Subaru Solterra had some amazing features that made him think it was going to be one of the greatest cars ever made. But so did the Toyota bZ4X.
Unfortunately, both were too complicated and ultimately not very exciting. We’ll have to wait until later this year for his two companies to have a chance at greatness.
3 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe
In 2022, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe was a car with huge potential. Unfortunately, it was too rough. It has a 2.0-liter engine with a hybrid system, but it’s jerky and noisy, so you can’t really enjoy the $60,000 ride.
If you’re looking for something quieter, consider another SUV.
2 2022 GMC Terrain
They touted this crossover SUV as an off-road/city champion, but its 1.5-liter turbocharged engine proved otherwise. This little turbocharged engine and transmission seems to have been inherited from someone who has never driven one before.
It feels like you’re running through molasses under torque, the transmission shifts at a slow pace and you can actually see it happening in slow motion with the naked eye.
1 2022 Chevrolet Equinox RS
We’ve worked hard to make you fall in love with the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox RS. I really did. However, it is also true that it is not very good. It’s too heavy for a car that should be sporty and fun to drive. The 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder makes 170 horsepower and he makes 203 lb-ft of torque, and goes surprisingly slow.
The suspension is also poorly tuned, making it feel more like a van than a fun car to drive. The only thing we really like about this car is the infotainment system, but it also has its drawbacks. I wish I loved the Equinox RS more than ever, but this disappointment makes me love it less.
