* MARCH 2022
2022 KIA EV6: Two battery
options, a choice of rear- or allwheel
drive, plus a top-end GT variant
provide a lot of EV6 variety for
buyers. The new electric crossover
arrived at Canadian dealerships
in March. The EV6 offers up to 500
kilometres of range and has a system
capable of charging at 400 or
800 volts. The EV6 starts at $46,995,
including a $2,000 delivery fee, but
excluding any federal or provincial
rebates.
2022 SUBARU WRX: Set to arrive
in spring, the redesigned WRX gets a
more powerful engine and more
responsive transmission,
according to Subaru. The
sedan is built on the
Subaru Global Platform,
providing a lower centre
of gravity, greater
stiffness and improved
handling, the company
said. As always, all-wheel
drive is standard. A familiar
broad hood scoop emphasizes the
WRX's low appearance, while several
exterior changes serve both design
and aerodynamic functions. The WRX
starts at $31,720 in Canada, including a
$1,725 delivery charge.
CARS&CONCEPTS
By DAVID KENNEDY
2023 NISSAN Z: It's a sports
car with roots running back
more than 50 years to the
Datsun era. The new seventh-generation
Nissan Z
sports car will go on sale in
Canada this spring with a
400-horsepower twin-turbo 3.0litre
V-6 and a choice of a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed automatic. The Z
is built with the latest performance and technology, but Nissan aims to price the car within
reach of mass-market buyers.
Pricing for Canada has not been
released.
CADILLAC INNERSPACE CONCEPT: The fully autonomous concept vehicle
looks ahead to the luxury brand's next decade, offering two passengers
a lounge-like environment with a panoramic roof for unimpeded views,
a large display for entertainment and augmented-reality options. Unlike
today's electric vehicles, the InnerSpace's battery modules are spread
throughout the vehicle, which gives it a lower-profile floor. Not intended for
production, the concept will help inform future design direction at Cadillac.
2023 MERCEDES-AMG EQE: The automaker is adding
a new high-performance sedan to counter Tesla and
other luxury brands. The car's lithium-ion battery technology
provides a claimed maximum range of 518 kilometres,
based on Mercedes-Benz testing. The EQE has
all-wheel drive, 677 horsepower, a top speed of 240 km/h
and accelerates to 100 km/h from rest in a claimed 3.3
seconds. The car is scheduled to arrive in Canada in late
2022. No pricing details have been released.
