Buying a new car in 2022 was not an easy task thanks to extended wait times, stock shortages and dealers seemingly less willing to budge on the sticker price, but that didn’t stop huge interest in reviews.
An exhaustive and comprehensive process goes into every CarsGuide review, so it is especially encouraging to see high interest in particular small-volume models and often unheard of makes.
And if you think the list is just a reflection of the top 10 most popular vehicles, there will be more than a few surprises in store!
10. LDV T60 Max 2022 review: Luxe auto - GVM test
.jpg)
One of only two utes on the top 10 review list, the LDV T60 Max proves that not everyone wants a Toyota HiLux. Sure, it comes from China and it is built to a price, but how does it stack up when loaded with gear in the back?
9. Nissan Qashqai 2022 review
[video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfdu86ZcbFg[/video]
Our first taste of the third-generation Qashqai small SUV happened to be in Ireland while visiting family, but luckily the specification largely mirrors Australian versions that are only now just hitting showrooms.
8. Haval Jolion 2022 review: Lux long-term
[video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yHrnAMX2ks[/video]
The only other Chinese brand to make the top 10 review list, we see what the sharply priced Jolion small SUV is like to live with over an extended period of time in inner-city Sydney, with partner and dogs in tow.
7. Toyota LandCruiser Prado 2022 review: Kakadu - off-road test
There’s no doubting the appeal of a go-anywhere SUV like the Toyota LandCruiser Prado, but what is it actually like to drive once you take it off the blacktop and onto some treacherous terrain? We find out as we take Toyota’s family friendly SUV into some decidedly unfriendly roads.
6. Kia Sportage GT-Line vs Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed vs Subaru Forester 2.5i-S vs Hyundai Tucson Highlander N Line 2022 comparison review
[video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zakxy_BnWE[/video]
Four of Australia’s popular mid-size family SUVs go head-to-head to see which one is crowned superior across numerous categories such as price, design, powertrain, safety, ownership and driving experience. Four will enter… but only one can emerge victorious.
5. Volvo XC60 2022 review: B6 R-Design
[video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZWF98pZT1w[/video]
Volvos are famous for their safety, so what would be better to put your most precious of cargo into? We find out as we put the Volvo XC60 mid-size SUV through family duties to see if your should consider one for your nearest and dearest.
4. Kia Cerato 2022 review: GT sedan
Who would have thought a small sedan would be the third-best-clicking review of 2022? Certainly not us, but the combination of the Kia Cerato GT sedan’s sportiness, value and … four-door shape(?) definitely blend together for a quirky proposition.
3. Ford Ranger 2022 review: Wildtrak V6 - pre-release prototype drive
[video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzgvSvtVIDw[/video]
Ford really went all out with the new-generation Ranger, slotting in not just one, but TWO V6 powertrains. Here we test the Wildtrak grade with the diesel V6 months before the production car made its way to local showrooms, to see how Ford did with what is expected to be the last truly Aussie-flavoured production car.
2. Kia Sportage 2022 review: GT-Line long-term
[video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi59US2FoL8[/video]
It was tough getting your hands on a Toyota RAV4 in 2022, but Kia definitely had more than a few Sportages up for grabs. Does the Kia mid-size SUV fit the bill with hauling the family around? We ‘lived’ with one for five months to find out.
1. Isuzu MU-X 2022 review: LS-T 4x4 long-term
[video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5BmyRtgIFU[/video]
We expect more from our vehicles these days, as they will ferry the kids to and from school, take us to work, and even lead us into new adventures when we find a bit of down time. Is it any surprise then that the best-clicked review of 2022 is a vehicle that can do all three things? If you want to know what living with an Isuzu MU-X is like, we have the answer.
