BMW iX 2022

Image
   BMW iX BMW takes a huge next step into electric luxury vehicles with the iX. Although the i3 and i8 showed BMW's clear interest in alternative-powertrain cars, the new iX is a fully electric look into the brand's future. With a projected driving range of about 300 miles, the 500-hp 2022 BMW iX is an electric SUV that can seat five in comfort and still manage a run to 60 mph in under 5 seconds, the automaker says. BMW's next generation electric SUV comes only as an AWD, with one electric motor driving the front axle and one driving the rear. They combine for a total of 516 hp. The iX xDrive50's estimated 300-mile range puts it firmly in Tesla Model X and Model Y territory. Unlike the upcoming electric X3, there's nothing subtle about the iX's interior or exterior design. BMW's controversial and enormous new front grille design makes an impression up front, while up top is a panoramic roof that's the largest glass roof ever fitted to a BMW. Inside...

Tesla Model S 2022

Image
  2022 Tesla Model S Almost a decade after its launch in 2012, the Tesla Model S is getting a much-needed refresh for the 2021.5 or 2022 model year (Tesla doesn't follow model years as closely as other automakers). Two new tri-motor variants are joining the lineup and both the exterior and interior designs have been meaningfully tweaked for the better. This may be exactly what Tesla needs to stay relevant alongside hot newcomers including the 1,080-hp Lucid Air Dream Edition and the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. •              Updated exterior and interior styling •              New Plaid tri-motor variant •              Futuristic Star Wars-esque steering yoke •              Two new wheel designs   No matter which Model S you choose...

Lucid Air 2022

Image
  2022 Lucid Air The Lucid Air luxury sedan promises beautiful appointments in a sleek all-electric package. Additionally, the sedan boasts thrilling acceleration and an estimated top speed of 217 mph. As we'd expect of a Tesla-rivaling brand, Lucid promises that it will offer autonomous and semi-autonomous driving technologies with the Air. As we discovered in our exclusive Lucid Air Dream Edition First Drive, the electric sedan is smooth and quiet, with a hint of wind noise coming through the cabin. Although a comfortable cruiser, it appreciates a challenge. It's ridiculously quick, and surprisingly, it leaps and bounds out of corners like a Nismo GT-R. The harder you push it, the better it becomes. Steering is quick, not too light and not too heavy. The stylish sedan takes a different approach than rivals when it comes to interior design. Its three screens don't dominate the cabin like they do in the Tesla Model S and Mercedes EQS. A nice mix of leather, wood, Alca...
