2022 Lexus IS Reviews SummaryAfter a substantial refresh for the 2021 model year, the 2022 Lexus IS lineup returns with a handful of minor updates and a significant improvement in performance. The new Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance also debuts this year, packing a normally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 and laugh-riot driving dynamics. If you’re among the driving enthusiasts who miss the discontinued Lexus GS F, this is a credible substitute. | |
2022 Kia K5 Reviews SummaryLast model year, as part of a redesign of its midsize sedan, Kia changed the car’s name from Optima to K5. Rakishly attractive and an undeniably good value, the new Kia K5 is an appealing choice in a shrinking vehicle segment where it faces fewer rivals with each year that passes. For the 2022 model year, the K5 wears Kia’s redesigned emblems and upper trim levels add standard features. | |
