egmp ev platform the state of the art 800 volte gmp-based ionic 5 and the kia ev6 have helped the
korean company to garner various awards including german car of the year and top gears manufacturer

comment and vote on the question that's presented at the end of the video kia celta's facelift july
2022 release believe it or not the rarely talked about kia celtos is one of the best selling
compact crossovers in the world marketed as a premium compact suv which is an odd space in the
automotive classification realm it enjoys great success in markets like native korea and india
even in the states kia small crossover suv saw a growth of 30 percent in sales despite the pandemic
which is second highest growth of all sports utility vehicles from kia after the ever popular
telluride the popularity is due to a traditional suv profile that mimics the styling of the larger
telluride upscale details quality interior large for its size passenger and cargo space and fuel
economy in fact cars.com ranks celta's in the number one spot for the most popular suv crossover
indicating that 94 of owners recommend the car with a 4.7 out of 5.0 reliability rating no
wonder kia saw it fit to develop the ev4 as a top priority after the successful introduction of the
ev6 the ev4 a dedicated electric vehicle based on the advanced egmp platform will essentially be a
smaller version of the ev6 with the dimension and the suv styling inspiration of saltos likely to be
an eventual replacement for saltos the ev4 should be available for sale in 2023 however until then
kia is implementing an upgrade to the existing celta's first introduced in 2019 it's also hard
to believe that 2022 marks the fourth year of production for the small suv which still looks
trendy and premium for the revision it's hinted that kia is freshening up the design by giving it
the sportage treatment with the boomerang shaped lighting signature which was initially heavily
criticized by finding places in people's hearts and being accepted as the iconic look of the
korean brand which has seen tremendous growth in sales due to its successful lineup of suvs
aside from the aesthetics another major change is in the powertrain it's confirmed that kia will
discontinue the 1.6 liter diesel engine due to a drastic fall in popularity with the consumer's
preference towards hybrid and electric vehicles in its place kia will introduce a hybrid power
plant with the same displacement however it won't be the latest turbocharged smartstream power plant
from the larger sportage in tucson but rather a non-turbo version borrowed from the current
hyundai kona which pumps out 139 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque the revised
kia celtos will make its introduction in july 2022 hyundai palisade facelift may 2022 release
hyundai palisade is another tremendously popular hyundai suv model that will undergo revision in
2022. first introduced in 2019 although late to the three-row suv game compared to the competitors
the first bonafide large suv of the brand palisade gave hyundai a tremendous lift in the sales and
the image of the company the palisade and the kia counterpart telluride became an instant success
and being in constant short supply they are known to be fetching price premiums at the dealerships
as a side note hyundai and the labor union in korea finally agreed to increase the production
of palisade by additional 20 000 units per year to resolve the chronic supply problem the korean
labor union at the ulsan factory where palisade is built first refused to build additional units over
the inevitability that it would lose the popular staria minivan production to another factory in
korea by taking on more palisade production but they finally caved in fearing that the assembly
line could move to the u.s plant in montgomery alabama altogether the u.s produced telluride
will not be inflicted with the union issue and is expected to see increased production as well
the 2022 production palisade will now feature a new design and other significant upgrades from
the current model which still looks fantastic and imposing as it did four years ago just like kia's
compact sportage is influencing the design of the new saltos its hyundai counterpart the all-new
tucson's design concept will take the center stage in palisades new appearance known as a parametric
jewel hidden lamp the unique disappearing headlamp and the waterfall grille will now be the look that
defines the hyundai's large suv as innovative and striking as it was in tucson we are not certain if
it's an improvement for the larger palisade however the newly designed interior that's
expected to offer a quintessential panoramic screen comprised of dual 12.5 inch lcds much
like other new hyundai group products like ionic 5 and kia ev6 is definitely a huge improvement over
the current 10.25 inch screen also improved is the power plant as the palisades current somewhat
archaic 3.8 liter v6 unit will be replaced with a new 3.5 liter smartstream v6 engine
which is cleaner and more efficient providing virtually the same power at 290 horsepower
the production of the new palisade begins in may 2022. fyi the platform sharing kia
telluride is also up for renewal and follow palisade within a year hyundai ionic 6 may 2022
release ionic 6 is undoubtedly the most highly anticipated new model to be released in 2022.
the first ever built from the ground up sedan based on the egmp platform that also underpins
phenomenal ionic 5 and the ev6 the ionic 6 is also expected to be one of the best evs in the market
featuring 800 volt charging architecture that can recharge to 80 in just 18 minutes and an efficient
power electric system that includes single motor rear wheel drive with 225 horsepower
and dual motor all-wheel drive with 320 horsepower when combined with the ionic 5 sourced 77.4
kilowatt hours battery the fastback is to deliver in excess of 311 miles or 500 kilometers in range
which is actually longer than that of the current ionic 5 or the ev6 with the improvement
in the efficiency that it is to receive as part of the unusual pre-launch revisions
which pushed back the launch date by a few months from the original release date in february 2022
in addition to being the first hyundai eevee to receive the innovative lighting grill that
acts as a charge status indicator in an emergency message board through the pre-production revision
it is also to receive an improvement in the styling that is met with some heavy criticism
when the prototype was first exposed contrary to the expectation that the new ionic 6 sedan
would inherit the design of the stunning prophecy concept the austere prototype didn't quite capture
the concept car's allure hyundai will attempt to bring back some of the excitement of the concept
by tweaking the front and rear end lengthening the vehicle by six inches or 90 millimeters to
the length of 196 inches or 4990 millimeters which is as long as the genesis g80 sedan
as the rest of the body will remain unchanged we are not certain how effective the revision may be
but in defense of the designers and engineers that created the ionic 6 the sedan was developed
to eventually replace the sonata family sedan and not a four-door sports car to compete with
the porsche take-in and the audi itron gt if you are looking for porsche take-in and addy e-tron gt
kind of excitement hyundai has you covered as well kia ev6 gt october 2022 release the year 2022 will
be the first year in which the korean maker is to have its first legitimate supercar based on the
standard ev6 which is still plenty fast with 0 to 60 miles per hour time of 5.1 seconds powered by a
dual motor 320 horsepower driving all four wheels the gt version will nearly double the output and
offer 577 horsepower and 546 pound-feet of torque the most ever seen in a korean production car and
offers supercar-like performance capable of achieving zero to 60 miles per hour in less
than 3.5 seconds yet its ev credential is still impressive as it delivers a range of 250 miles
or 400 kilometers from its 77.4 kilowatt hours battery furthermore it still maintains all of
the innovative egmp features such as 18 minutes to 80 ultra fast charge time v2l that supplies
3.5 kilowatts of electricity and more the ev6 gt accomplishes all this while maintaining a
relatively sane price of 72 million korean one which translates to about 60 000 us dollars
if the low slung crossover styling is not to your liking there will also be the ionic 5 equivalent
the ionic 5n will offer similar gut wrenching performance and specifications
with hyundai and division's interpretation of what an electric hot hatch should be
as opposed to the more premium and plushier presentation of the ev6 gt look for more edgy and
hardcore characteristics with trick performance features that you come to expect from an end car
the production date for the ev6 gt is october 2022 but the supply is expected to be even slimmer than
the standard version which already has a waiting list mile long with the waiting of up to one year
so we suggest for you to put in your order early if asphalt tearing performance in an eevee is what
you're looking for this concludes part two of the upcoming new model release dates for 2022
be on the lookout for the 2023 preview which promises to be an even busier year
