More and more vehicles are beginning to offer wireless Apple CarPlay, with wireless Android Auto close behind. Which cars have it? How does it work? Here’s what you should know.

Affiliated automakers Hyundai and Kia are issuing recalls for the risk of an engine compartment fire affecting more than 484,500 vehicles.

The overall pace of these reveals is on par with 2021 introductions, though 2022 also features an acceleration of new electrified SUVs.

Here are the new EVs going on sale for the 2022 model year. There may be some slippage in terms of availability, with some models even falling back to the 2023 model year if timing backs up.

Hyundai’s new 2021 Santa Fe Hybrid feels softer than the updated gas-only version — particularly compared with that vehicle’s new turbocharged powertrain — but it’s a welcome, fuel-efficient addition to the Santa Fe lineup.

Already an appealing package, the Kona was updated for 2022 with sharper styling, an upgraded multimedia system and more backseat room.

Our Palisade appeared to be on the up-and-up after the initial fix in November 2020, but a year living with the SUV — and particularly the return of hot weather — unearthed whiffs of the original scent.

The 2022 Kia EV6 has been EPA-rated between 232 and 310 miles of range, depending on the model, with trim levels comprising the EX, EX Plug, GT-Line and, eventually, the GT.

Hyundai’s all-electric, hatchbackish SUV, the Ioniq 5, will hit dealers by year-end with a starting price of $44,875 for the base trim, SE, with a single electric motor and RWD.

The 2022 Tucson’s XRT trim adds rugged exterior styling bits, but, despite Hyundai touting its “go-anywhere attitude,” the package doesn’t translate to any added off-road capabilities.
