However, it is time to put the past behind us and brace up for what the future holds. 2022 promises to fulfill your automobile dreams as significant improvements, advancements, remodeling will surface.

We will see an insurgence of new cars on the scene in 2022. The list of vehicles to talk about for 2022 are enormous, but let us get you accustomed to some terms you will find helpful as you read this piece and other automotive articles.

These terminologies will help you understand the workshop jargon used by most car dealers and genuine car parts suppliers.

A typical example is “new car model,” which refers to a car that never existed before or has a similar name with a previous car model but is not a direct substitute or replacement of an older model.
Secondly, you will often hear something like “a redesigned model” when a car model gets redesigned for another year. Nonetheless, we have seen cases whereby a car model was redesigned but given another name.
Thirdly, you will often hear of a “substantially refreshed car model,” simply refreshing an existing model. It is a way manufacturers reduce the cost and time it takes to get a car to the market.

So, manufacturers avoid going through fresh design and engineering processes that cost a lot. They opt for a refurbish, saving them time and money. Refurbishing often comes with a new engine, tech, body, and improved interior.

Without further ado, let’s not dwell anymore on these terminologies but delve into what 2022 vehicles have for us. We will take you through the top Japanese/Korean automotive inventions in the coming year.
