2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS
While there are some luxurious EVs; none could be described as a true luxury sedan like this 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS. The ultra-slick rounded shape may not be so easy on the eyes, but it sure is easy through the wind; Mercedes claiming it has the lowest coefficient of drag for any production car…

2022 Kia Carnival Episode 4042
We’ve seen many attempts to make the minivan cool over the years, this 2022 Kia Carnival may be the first to actually pull it off. While the basic minivan approach remains, the longer hood, tall body sides, and chopped greenhouse, give it an almost pseudo–SUV Ford Flex-like vibe. Oh, and don’t…
