2022 NISSAN FRONTIER BLACKWING CADILLACS AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers several significant automotive news items, with a primary focus on the highly anticipated 2022 Nissan Frontier. The reviewer praises its rugged and modern exterior design, noting improvements in interior quality over the previous generation. Key mechanical details include the standard 3.8-liter V6 engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission. However, the Frontier's maximum tow rating is noted as being lower than competitors. The PRO-4X trim, specifically highlighted, gains off-road features like skid plates and an electronic locking differential. The review also touches upon the updated 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, its shared platform with the previous generation, and its new 9-speed automatic transmission replacing the CVT. Other news includes Nissan's electrification goals, GM's 2035 EV target, the impressive Cadillac CT5-V and CT4-V Blackwing models (particularly their manual transmission options and performance figures), the 2021 Ford F-150 Raptor with its new rear suspension, and brief mentions of Lexus, Jeep, Genesis, Apple's car project, and the end of Mustang Bullitt production. The overall tone is informative, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses of the featured vehicles.
