2022 Toyota Supra Gets A $300 Bump In Price And A New $63k Carbon Fiber Edition

Toyota has announced pricing for the 2022 Supra range and the cost of buying the car has risen, as has the cost of shipping the car to you.

For 2022, the entry-level 2.0-liter Supra rings in at $43,290, $300 more from its base price in 2021, which was $42,990. That’s not the extent of it, though. For 2022, Toyota has also upped its “Delivery Processing & Handling fee” from $995 to $1,025. So customers who waited until this year to buy a cheap Supra will actually be paying $330 more than they would have last year.

Prices for the 3.0-liter Supra have risen even more. Starting at $51,640 ($52,665 w/ destination) in 2022, that’s $650 more than customers were paying in 2021, which was already $1,000 more than they were paying in 2020.

The GR Supra 3.0 Premium also gets a bit of a price bump for 2022, with an MSRP of $54,790 ($55,815 w/ destination), or $300 more than it cost last year. It gets a red leather-trimmed interior option and models equipped with the Premium Audio package get full-screen Apple Car Play.

Finally, the A91-Carbon Fiber Edition is new to the lineup and prices start at a whopping $63,280 ($64,305 w/ destination). The model is limited to just 600 examples, though, and is the most exclusive Mark V Supra to date. It features handmade carbon fiber accents, including a duckbill spoiler, a front splitter, and rockers. It also gets unique 19-inch wheels and can be finished in matte-gray Phantom, Absolute Zero White, or Nitro Yellow.

Like the other 3.0-liter Supras, it makes 382 hp (387 PS/285 kW) and can get to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.9 seconds. The 2.0-liter model, meanwhile, develops 255 hp (259 PS/190 kW) and can reach highway speeds in just five seconds. Both make more power than they did in 2020 thanks to upgrades introduced last year.

As a nice added touch, every 2022 GR Supra comes with a complimentary one-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association (NASA), which gives them access to perks like discounted admission to NASA events and a free high-performance driving event.

2022 Toyota Avalon Drops AWD And TRD, Starts From $36,375 For Its Final Year

The fifth-generation Avalon might have been introduced in 2018, but Toyota has confirmed that 2022 will mark the end of its production. Today, the automaker announced pricing for the 2022 MY alongside a few changes in the lineup.

The 2022 Toyota Avalon starts from $36,375 (excluding the $1,025 fee), making it $250 more expensive than last year’s model.

The full-size sedan is not available in AWD variants anymore, while the sporty TRD trim was also dropped from the range. The good news for prospective buyers is the addition of new safety features as standard, including the upgraded Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ package (dynamic radar cruise control, lane tracing assist, blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, etc), and the addition of a rear-seat reminder system.

Just like last year, the Avalon is available with gas and hybrid powertrains. The 3.5-liter V6 produces 301 hp (224 kW / 305 PS) and 267 lb-ft (362 Nm) of torque, mated to an eight-speed Direct Shift automatic gearbox that sends power to the front axle. The hybrid combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors producing a combined 215 hp (160 kW / 218 PS) and comes with a fuel economy rating of 44 mpg combined.

The 2022 lineup includes six trim levels, including the XSE Nightshade Edition that is visually differentiated from the glossy black accents, the 19-inch wheels, and the rear diffuser. Inside, variants are differentiated with the base XLE featuring SofTex upholstery and “engineered wood” trim, the Limited coming with perforated leather and genuine wood sourced from Yamaha, and the Touring with perforated SofTex / Ultrasuede and aluminum trim.

In terms of equipment, the Limited and Touring come standard with a premium 14-speaker JBL Audio system, a 10-inch Head-up display, a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen (Apple CarPlay / Android Auto / Amazon Alexa), a wireless charging pad, and a moonroof (also standard on the Nightshade, optional in XLE, XLE hybrid). The Touring is the sportiest of the bunch equipped with the electronically controlled Adaptive Variable Suspension system, and an extra driving mode (eco, normal, sport, sport+, custom)

2022 Toyota Avalon Pricing

Avalon XLE 3.5-liter V6 8-speed Auto: $36,375
Avalon XLE Hybrid 2.5-liter ECVT: $37,350
Avalon Limited 3.5-liter V6 8-speed Auto: $42,675

New Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 Priced From £155k In The UK, Nearly £16k More Than 751HP Taycan Turbo S

Two months ago, Mercedes unveiled the AMG EQS 53 at the Munich Motor Show as the first electric vehicle to wear the AMG badge. Now, the German automaker has released pricing for it, and it’s about what you’d expect for a range-topping high-performance EV sedan.

The EQS 53 will start at £154,995 (equal to around $208,000 at current exchange rates) in the UK, or 55% more than the base EQS 450’s starting price of £99,995. It’s also more expensive than the current flagship Porsche Taycan Turbo S that’s rated for 761PS / 751HP and kicks off from £139,280 (about $186,900).

For that money, you get a dual-motor AWD drivetrain producing 649 hp (658 PS / 484 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of instant electric torque. Upgrade to the AMG Performance Package with the Night Edition that pushes the starting price to £163,900 (around $220,000) though, and that same drivetrain produces 751 hp (761 PS / 560 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1020 Nm) of torque.

The former enables a 3.8-second sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) with a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h), while the latter allows for 3.4 seconds to 62 mph with a top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h). The range is the same for both, with a WLTP-estimated 358 miles (576 km) on tap from the car’s 107.8 kWh battery.

Standard features on all variants include the 56-inch Hyperscreen, an AR heads-up display, Nappa leather upholstery, a Burmester® surround sound system, a Parking package with Active Parking Assist, and 360° camera, Driving Assistance Package Plus, AMG sound programs, AMG-specific bodywork, and an AMG steering wheel.

Included with the Night Edition are 21-inch AMG alloy wheels, a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel, and sport pedals. Upgrading to the £8,995 AMG Performance Package (which is only available with the Night Edition) gets you carbon-ceramic brakes, AMG Dynamic Plus boost for Race Start, the AMG Sound Experience, the AMG Driver’s Package with increased top speed, AMG TRACK PACE, and AMG carbon-fiber interior trim.

Finally, serving as a counterpart to the bold Night Edition is the more subtle Touring specification, which comes with 22-inch AMG multi-spoke alloy wheels and elegant ambient lighting in the cabin. On top of that, you can opt for the £2,995 Rear Luxury Lounge package (only available with the Touring), which outfits the multi-contour rear seats with black Exclusive Nappa leather upholstery, power reclining, luxury headrests, neck and shoulder heating, comfort armrests, separate climate controls, an MBUX tablet, wireless charging, and additional USB ports.

The 2022 Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+ is currently on sale now, with the first UK deliveries expected to arrive in April 2022.

The latest generation RS 3 is powered by a turbocharged five-cylinder 2.5 TFSI motor producing 394 hp (294 kW / 400 PS) in the UK, which is slightly less than the 401 hp (299 kW / 407 PS) model that is set to be offered to customers in the U.S. Torque is 500 Nm (368 lb-ft), sent to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch S-tronic transmission.

The RS 3 is currently the fastest compact production car around a lap of the Nürburgring, setting a time of 7:40.748. With performance at its heart, the RS 3 can sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.8 seconds, with a top speed limited to 155mph (249 km/h) for most versions.

[embedded content]

For those wanting more kit than the standard car, the RS 3 “Carbon Black” adds £4,650 ($6420) to the base price and includes darkened Matrix LED headlamps, five-spoke 19-inch matt black alloy wheels, a gloss black front spoiler as well as a carbon fibre finish to the exterior mirror housings, rear spoiler, side skirts and engine cover.

The highest spec RS 3 offered to UK customers is the RS 3 “Vorsprung.” Priced from £58,650 ($81,000) the flagship features different alloys with “graphic print,” an electric boot lid and a 360-degree camera.

Sitting between the Carbon Black and Vorsprung price-wise is the faster “Launch Edition.” The Launch Edition will be limited to just 96 units in the UK, and although it features no changes to power output or acceleration, simply includes a speed limiter set slightly higher, cutting in at 174 mph (280 km/h). Priced at £56,900 ($78,600) for the Sportback (£57,900/$80,000 or the saloon/sedan), the Launch Edition features additional standard kit such as the Driver Assistance pack, Adaptive suspension with Drive Select and Audi’s Comfort & Sound pack. A glass panoramic roof, heads up display, electric front seats, phonebox lite, sports exhaust, red brake callipers and a gloss black finish to various interior and exterior elements is also included.

An additional pack that will raise the RS 3’s speed limited to 180 mph (290 km/h) is the “Dynamic” pack. It includes adaptive suspension with Audi Drive Select, RS ceramic brakes with brake callipers in gloss anthracite grey, and Audi’s RS sport exhaust system. The Dynamic pack adds £5,500 ($7,600) to the price of a standard RS 3 and £5,000 ($6,900) on Carbon Black & Vorsprung versions.

Audi dealers in the UK are currently taking orders for the new RS 3, with the first deliveries expected in November. It competes head-on with the Mercedes-AMG A45 S which starts at just over £51,000 ($70,500), going up to £57,000 ($78,800) for the A45 S Plus.

New 2022 Genesis G70 Starts From $38,570, Lower Than Its German And Japanese Rivals

Genesis announced the pricing details of the redesigned 2022 G70 sedan, which can be now ordered from the carmaker’s website.

Prices for the 2022 G70 start from $38,570, including a $1,045 freight charge, in base 2.0T Standard RWD trim level. Customers can spec all-wheel-drive for an extra $2,100.

That’s notably less than the German premium competition, with Audi charging at least $40,145 for the base A4 2.0T, BMW asking $42,895 for the entry 330i and Mercedes, $42,650 for the C300, with all prices mentioned here including destination. Even Lexus’ IS 300 begins higher at $40,500. However, it’s good to remember that pricing of a new vehicle is one thing, and re-sale value is another. It remains to be seen how the G70 will fare in this regard down the road.

The 2022 G70 2.0T will be offered in Standard and Prestige trim levels while the V6-powered models will be available in the Sport Advanced, Sport Prestige, and Launch Edition grades.

Driven: 2020 Genesis G70 2.0T Might Have Gotten A Refresh, But Is Still Very Competent

The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 252 HP and 260 lb-ft of torque. Those wishing for some extra performance can choose the more powerful 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 with its 365 HP and 376 lb-ft of torque. Both engine options are paired exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

As it’s traditional for Genesis, the updated 2022 G70 will offer a comprehensive range of features as standard, including free scheduled maintenance with Service Valet, Genesis Connected Services, map updates, and more, for 3 years or 60,000 miles.

The 2022 G70 features along list of standard equipment, including a new 10.25-inch infotainment system with Navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED lights all around, power-adjustable and heated seats, an acoustic windshield, as well as a wide range of driver-assistance systems that includes Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and Highway Driving Assist, among other.

Go for the 3.3-liter V6-powered version and you’ll get the Performance Brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels, variable-ratio steering, leather upholstery instead of leatherette, and more. The 3.3T Sport Prestige adds a Brembo braking system, a limited-slip differential, electronically controlled suspension and Nappa leather upholstery.

As for the range-topping $53,545 Launch Edition, it comes with lightweight 19-inch multispoke alloy wheels, a matte paint finish in either Verbier White or Melbourne Gray, and a two-tone Obsidian Black/ Sevilla Red interior.

2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid Arrives In The UK With Subtle Updates For More Refinement

Honda is introducing the new 2021 CR-V Hybrid to the UK market, which has been updated aesthetically to better fit with the company’s latest electrified model range and has been retuned in other areas.

The 2021 CR-V will be available in the UK only as a hybrid starting from December, which is when the first examples of the Japanese SUV will begin showing up at dealerships around the country with prices starting from £30,180.

The updated 2021 CR-V Hybrid features new blue-ringed H badges and Honda’s latest ‘e:HEV’ lettering to signify the electrified powertrain under the bonnet. Other updates include the new 18-inch wheels across the range, standard privacy glass from the SE models upwards, and wireless smartphone charging for the range-topping EX.

Under the skin, the only revisions are about some tweaks to the suspension, which has been retuned for “more linear handling responses” and to provide improved ride compliance. Furthermore, the variable-ratio electric steering has been refined to offer better low-speed maneuverability.

The hybrid powertrain remains unchanged, featuring a 2.0-liter i-VTEC petrol engine running on the Atkinson cycle combined with two electric motors for a total of 181 HP (184 PS). Honda’s innovative fixed-gear transmission claims to offer higher levels of refinement compared to CVTs, as well as better efficiency.

The 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint comes in 8.8 seconds for the FWD version (AWD: 9.2 seconds), while top speed is set at 112 mph (180 km/h). CO2 emissions are rated from 151 g/km for the FWD models and 161 g/km for the all-wheel-drive ones.

2021 VW Tiguan R Is Quicker Than The First-Gen Porsche Cayenne Turbo S

Coinciding with the European launch of the Tiguan R, Volkswagen has released the official specs of the sporty SUV, accompanied by a set of new images.

According to the official specs, the new VW Tiguan R needs only 4.9 seconds to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in the dedicated ‘R’ driving mode, a tenth of a second quicker than the first-generation Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, and will max out at 250 km/h (155 mph).

Power is supplied by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, rated at 320 PS (315 HP / 235 kW) and 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) of torque. It drives the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring through a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic transmission.

Developed by the R division, the new Tiguan R features a specially tuned suspension, which features adaptively controlled shock absorbers, sits 10 mm (0.4 in) lower compared to the regular versions, and has 18-inch brake discs with the R logo on the front calipers. The sports exhaust system can be optionally upgraded to Akrapovic’s titanium exhaust, and the 20-inch wheels can be swapped for the 21-inch Estoril set.

The R design bumpers with aerodynamic enhancements, which can be had in body color or in high-gloss black, matte chrome side mirror caps, high-gloss black rear diffuser and black wheel arches draw a clear line between the standard Tiguans and the sporty model.

Further separating the Tiguan R from the rest of the range are the interior upgrades, such as the premium sports seats with integrated headrests, bespoke ‘R’ logo, carbon grey trim, background lighting, stainless steel pedals, and Digital Cockpit with a lap timer.

Pricing in Germany starts at €56,703.53 ($67,287), almost €28,500 ($33,820) more than the entry-level model, and just €3,207 ($3,806) shy of the bigger Touareg.

The Ariel Atom 4 Is Now Being Made In America And It’ll Cost You Nearly $75k

Ariel North America has started building the Atom 4 in the United States.

Largely identical to the European variant, the North American Atom 4 is built in Virginia and powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine sourced from the Honda Civic Type R.

The engine produces 320 hp (239 kW / 324 PS) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque and is paired to a six-speed manual transmission. This setup enables the 1,350 lbs (612 kg) Atom to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in just 2.8 seconds. If you keep your foot pinned to the floor, 100 mph (161 km/h) will come in 6.8 seconds and the Atom 4 will eventually top out at 162 mph (261 km/h).

If that isn’t fast enough, an optional performance package increases the engine’s output to 350 hp (261 kW / 355 PS) thanks to ECU tuning, a three-stage boost controller and a performance exhaust. The package also includes a limited-slip differential, an adjustable traction control system and an upgraded radiator.

While the powertrain carries over from the Euro-spec model, the American variant has a laminated windscreen, a front wiper and a revised suspension with Eibach springs and adjustable Bilstein dampers.

Staggered 16- and 17-inch wheels are standard, and they’re backed up by a market-specific braking system that features four-piston AP Racing calipers as well as 11.4 inch (290 mm) ventilated discs. Carbon fiber wheels are optional and they weigh nearly 50% less than the standard alloys. Customers can also opt for two-piece rotors and high-performance brake pads specifically designed for the track.

In the United States, pricing starts at $74,750. The performance package costs $7,995 and the car can also be equipped with upgraded suspensions, carbon fiber packages as well as track packs. If that hasn’t scared you off, Ariel is currently accepting deposits of $22,425.
