Eyeing up a new car for 2022?
We have hand-picked some of the best new cars that are set to arrive in showrooms next year.
From electric city motors from Volkswagen to turbo-charged supercars from Ferrari, there is lots to get excited about for the new year.
Read on below to see which ones you should be looking out for:
Volkswagen ID Buzz
The car world is awash with samey SUVs and crossovers so the VW Buzz will come as a breath of fresh air to anyone wanting a change.
Inspired by the original VW Microbus, the ID Buzz is an all-electric mini van with exterior dimensions on par with the VW Golf and interior space to rival the larger Passat.
It has seven seats and a flat floor that allows those seats to be repositioned in myriad ways to make the space suit your individual needs.
Battery-powered, it will provide a range of around 340 miles, with a decent 111kWh battery, and will be all-wheel drive. More importantly, it also looks cool.
Expect to see the VW ID Buzz in both passenger and commercial vehicle forms in late 2022.
Price tba, expect around £34,000
Range Rover
The latest iteration of the Range Rover promises to be as handsome, desirable and luxurious as the model has ever been – certainly to its target audience, anyway.
This new edition is noticeably smoother and sleeker than before, with smooth, unfussy surfaces. The interior is also set to be immensely spacious thanks to a new seven-seater option, with heightened luxury coming courtesy of new materials, including optional ceramic knobs and switches.
Of course, it also promises to drive as smoothly as ever, and won’t be lacking in off-road capability.
If you want a vehicle that goes anywhere and does anything in absolute opulence, keep an eye on this one.
Available to order from £94,400, landrover.co.uk
Ferrari 296 GTB
No new year is complete without an offering from the Prancing Horse and we’re expecting a real stunner in 2022.
The Ferrari 296 GTB promises to be the company’s new entry-level supercar and will use a twin-turbocharged 2.9-litre V6 engine and plug-in hybrid power to produce a whopping 819hp and 740Nm of torque.
That should allow a 0-62mph time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed in excess of 205mph.
Interestingly, its 7.4kWh battery pack also allows the car to drive silently for around 15 miles on electric power alone so you don’t have to wake anyone when go for a quick blast on a Sunday morning.
Price tba, expect around £260,000
Mercedes SL
Sales of the Mercedes SL have fallen away over recent years but that looks set
to change with the arrival of a brand-new seventh-generation model.
The new SL will have a coupé body style, a convertible roof and four seats – two proper pews for the grown-ups at the front and two for anyone under 5ft at the rear.
It won’t be shy when it comes to deploying its performance – the new SL will use a 4.0-litre V8 engine tucked away under that long bonnet, creating a minimum of 476hp.
A plug-in hybrid model is also in the works and promises in excess of 800hp.
Price tba, expect around £100,00

How often should I check my tyre pressure?
Different cars require different tyre pressures, and the correct settings for yours will be written on a label on the car’s bodywork or in its handbook.
At any time of year it’s really vital to keep checking your tyre pressure, ideally every two weeks or once a month at least.
Lots of people neglect it but remember that your tyres are the only part of your car in contact with the road (unless something’s gone seriously wrong). Incorrect pressures will cause your tyres to wear unevenly and can give you less grip too.
Winter temperatures can mean your tyre pressures fall faster than in the summer so it’s even more important to check them frequently.
Stick to manufacturer-recommended levels and check them outdoors rather than inside a warm garage.
