If you're looking to buy a car, terms like facelift, redesign, and refresh may appear in reviews. These terms usually refer to a vehicle that has been updated and improved in some way.
Facelifts, sometimes known as significant updates or re-engineering by manufacturers, combine typical model year improvements with a significant aesthetic change, a substantially reworked interior, and more additional features than you'd expect from a mere refresh. If an automobile has received a facelift, it should have a substantially different appearance than the previous model, as well as updated features and new equipment. Its price may jump in comparison to the previous year's edition, but a facelifted car usually keeps the same engine options and chassis as its forerunner. It's time to look at the 10 cars that are getting changed in 2022.
10 2022 Hyundai Tucson
Hyundai completely redesigned the 2022 Tucson, and they have pushed the SUV's style, technology, and connection to new heights. Hyundai offers the Tucson with a selection of gas, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid drivetrains for the first time.
Hyundai's best-selling and most important product is the Tucson compact crossover. The fourth-generation Tucson will be introduced in 2022, and it will be longer and broader than ever before, with the most up-to-date infotainment and safety systems.
9 2022 Nissan Leaf
There are a lot of options if you want an all-electric car, so it's timely that Nissan has given its Leaf a makeover for 2022. Bringing modest new aesthetics and technology to the now almost five-year-old value-for-money second-gen Leaf.
It all comes down to Nissan's new emblem, which they featured on all of their car's badging. There are also new black fascia alloy wheel options (in 16- and 17-inch sizes). Also, available are two new paint jobs: 'Pearl Blue' and 'Magnetic Blue.'
8 2022 Audi S8
The four tailpipes in the back and a bigger radiator grille in front give the S8 a more muscular appearance. To keep up with the German premium brand's latest launches. The sportier S8, like the lesser trim levels, gets new patterns for the digital matrix LED headlights and OLED taillights. In terms of technology, the Audi S8 receives several upgrades over the A8.
These upgrades include all-wheel steering, predictive air suspension, and a sport differential for torque distribution between the rear wheels. The major news, though, is the pricing for the 2022 model year: the Audi S8 will cost $12,600 cheaper. With a starting price of $116,900, it is less expensive than the previous year.
7 2022 Jeep Renegade
The popular Renegade SUV has gotten a second makeover from Jeep. Brazil will be the first market to receive the revised model, followed by other countries. The Renegade has been around since 2014 and is now Jeep's smallest SUV worldwide. The facelifted Renegade has a smaller grille than the previous generation.
The headlights now have turn signals and daytime running lights (DRLs). On the other hand, Jeep was able to change the fascia, especially the bottom half. They've also given fog lights a new rectangular design and are now located higher than they were previously. There are more than 5 optional external color options available for the 2022 Renegade.
6 2022 Kia Forte
The Forte is one of Kia's most affordable sedans. Debuted in 2022 with a few outward design tweaks and new features to make it stand out among its competitors. New headlights, slightly altered tail lights, and a new wheel shape distinguish the redesigned Kia K3/Forte for 2022.
Also, onboard is Kia's new logo. It appears to have a bigger entertainment system, as well as a digital instrument cluster on the inside. For the American market, we don't expect any major mechanical changes to the Forte/K3.
5 2022 Toyota Tundra
It's been a long road for the new Toyota Tundra 2022, which is the full-size truck's first substantial redesign ever since the second generation debuted in 2007. It features a larger, more dominant grille flanked on either side by LED headlamp modules. The Tundra's V8 engines are no longer available, and this isn't just a cosmetic change.
A high-tech twin-turbo V6 and a twin-turbo V6 hybrid have been installed in their stead. There's a new air suspension option and a whole new rear suspension. Inside, they have totally overhauled the infotainment system, with up to a 14-inch touchscreen available.
4 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
The Jeep Grand Wagoneer is one of Jeep's oldest and most essential models. The Wagoneer L has a 130-inch wheelbase, which is 7 inches longer than the standard Wagoneer models and is one foot longer total. Because the proportions in the three rows remain the same as the conventional versions, the extra length allows for more cargo room.
The Hurricane Twin Turbo 510 engine produces 510 horsepower powers, the Grand Wagoneer L. Despite the fact that the photos only show a Grand Wagoneer with an extended wheelbase, we think the Jeep will also offer the less luxurious Wagoneer with a long wheelbase.
3 2022 Volkswagen Golf R
The Golf R received a facelift for 2022, as part of introducing Volkswagen's popular compact eighth generation. We have new headlamps, lights, rims, and emblems here, but the same identifiable lovely face. The inclusion of unique bumpers, four exhaust tips, a rear spoiler, and unique 19-inch wheels contribute to its distinction.

The heart of the vehicle is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that now produces 315 horsepower, an increase of 27 horsepower over the previous model.
2 2023 Kia Telluride
The facelifted Kia Telluride for 2023 was originally spotted testing earlier this month. And now, new photographs of the forthcoming SUV's upgraded LED DRLs have appeared online. They will mount LED DRLs vertically for the 2023 Kia Telluride facelift rather than in the rectangular configuration found on the 2022 model.
With a redesigned bumper style, the back end of the 2023 Telluride looks sleeker. This adjustment, yet, may be limited to a specific trim level and may not be implemented by other variants of the popular SUV.
1 2023 BMW X7
The all-new BMW X7 for 2023 has gotten a much-anticipated redesign. The facelifted X7 features a redesigned front end, as well as split-headlight fixtures that replace the previous setup. A new front fascia is the highlight of BMW's four-year-old luxury SUV flagship's revisions. They mounted the LED DRLs near the bonnet line to emphasize the SUV's upright stance, while they mounted the headlamps further down on the bumper.
The X7's base xDrive 40i model gets a new kidney grille with darker slats and silver bumper trim. The X7 xDrive 40i also has a cascade lighting feature built into the grille.
