OUR TOP TEN OF 2022

EV Channels Review

This video presents a "Top Ten Cars of 2022" list, with one overall winner. The hosts emphasize that vehicles must have been physically driven in the calendar year and be either new or a significant refresh. The list is presented alphabetically, with the number one pick revealed at the end. Key vehicles discussed include the Audi Q4 e-tron (praised for its conventional EV design and price point), BMW i4 (lauded for its driving dynamics and conventional feel), Ford Maverick Hybrid (loved for its fuel economy and fun driving experience), Honda CR-V (noted for comfort and cargo space but criticized for Canadian pricing), Hyundai Elantra N (highlighted for its everyday usability and performance), Land Rover Range Rover (celebrated for its design and build quality), Lexus RX (commended for a much-needed redesign and improved features), Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (recognized as highly improved with a new design and third row), and Toyota Prius (applauded for a radical redesign making it sporty and a viable road trip vehicle). The overall winner is the Kia Sportage, chosen for its killer pricing, value, handling, and upscale interior, despite some reservations about wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Honorable mentions include the BMW M240i, Kia EV6 GT, Mazda CX-50, and Nissan Rogue.
