Highlights from the 2022 Chicago Motor Show

The theme of the 2022 Chicago Motor Show is best described as “we’re back … and it’s electric!” Despite being half the size, thanks to the pandemic, this year’s show is still worth watching with a number of interesting concepts and production options from manufacturers, including many plugins.

Here is our selection of highlights:

Chevrolet

Not quite in front and in the center, but definitely under the brightest fire and the busiest display on the Chevrolet stand is a new Silverado Electric. Soon this electric pickup with a rechargeable battery will be sent directly to Ford Lightning with a price aimed at those who work with their installations. The starting price will be about $ 40,000, and configurations and options will exceed $ 100,000.

Ford

Ford has unveiled a new Everglades finish for the Bronco (shown above), and it’s hard to miss at the Chicago show. The new package for the Bronco has several off-road upgrades, covered by our own CC Weiss here.

Also on the stand is the Ford Mustang Mach-E and interesting Ford Eluminator restoration truck.

Hyundai-Kia

Hyundai and Kia are not collaborating on concepts and manufacturing electrical engineering, but they have a lot of them on display. The Hyundai Ioniq 5recently introduced, and the like Kia EV6 are demonstrated as well Kia EV9 concept. Plus several special interactive displays from ChargePoint, an electric car charger.

Nissan

This year, Nissan has focused on the all-new Frontier. Three conceptual “design” trucks were presented at the Chicago exhibition around Frontier. My personal favorites are the Datsun Frontier Project 72X truck, but the Project Hardbody (80’s tribute) and the ready-to-land Project Adventure trucks are also worth the saliva.

Also next to a new one Nissan Ariya electric car, several versions LETTERand more.

Subaru-Toyota Collaboration

Both Subaru and Toyota are showcasing their new joint EV projects. Toyota is called bZ4X while Subaru is more pronounced as Solter. Both cars have a common chassis and most components, but Subaru has a slightly larger ground clearance and all-wheel drive as standard. And, admittedly, a much more impressive show. Plus Subaru brings puppies to the dealership. No kidding.

Toyota
