2023 ACURA INTEGRA: A familiar nameplate will return to
the Acura fold this June after a 15-year absence. The compact
sport sedan uses the Honda Civic platform and is intended to go
head-to-head with Germany-based luxury brands that currently
dominate the segment. Acura is offering the 2023 Integra in
two trims, both with turbocharged 1.5-litre inline four-cylinder
engines and continuously variable transmissions. The five-door
hatchback - there is no two-door model -
starts at $36,725, including
delivery charges.
2023 LEXUS RZ:
The brand's EV era will begin
late this year with the 2023 RZ 450e, which shares platforms
with the Toyota bZ4X. The compact crossover trades Lexus'
usual spindle grille for a filled-in EV-suited " spindle body. "
The all-wheel-drive RZ 450e will offer a maximum range
of 360 kilometres, according to Lexus estimates. All-wheel
drive is standard, but power output from the dual motors
has not been released, nor has pricing.
CARS&CONCEPTS

2023 BMW 7 SERIES:
The seventh generation
of BMW's
flagship 7 Series will
arrive in Canada in
the fourth quarter of
2022. Included is the i7
xDrive60 - the first electric
model in the line - as well
as the gasoline-powered 760i xDrive. Both models feature updated luxury elements
and a suite of new driver-assist features, allowing for hands-free highway travel at
speeds up to 130 km/h. The electric and gasoline models share a starting price of
$147,000, before shipping.
LINCOLN STAR CONCEPT: The luxury brand plans
four new EVs in the next four years, and the Lincoln
Star concept previews how Lincoln design will
evolve as traditional grilles are phased out.
The vehicle rides on Ford's flexible rearwheel-drive/all-wheel-drive
platform.
Wraparound seating and a
coast-to-coast curved
horizontal display
create a lounge-like
environment, the automaker
said. Lincoln
anticipates more than
half of its sales to be
electric by mid-decade.
2023 JEEP WAGONEER L AND
GRAND WAGONEER L: The new L variants
of the full-size 2023 Jeep Wagoneer and Grand
Wagoneer utility vehicles are 30 centimetres
longer than the standard models. This translates
to more cargo space behind the standard
third-row seat. Stellantis' new " Hurricane "
twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder
engine provides the power. The two models -
the largest in the Jeep lineup - will arrive in
the second half of 2022. Pricing has not been
announced.
