'Even before it arrived, we knew the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara would be a strong contender for the Best of 2022. It’s loaded with fresh technology and has a new approach to a segment that is fiercely competitive' – Karan Singh

'With a stonking 150bhp at a screaming 11,000rpm, the Katana has some serious firepower. Key in the ignition, thumb the starter (the fuel switch and starter are integrated into one), and the Katana growls into life before settling into a gentle, refined purr' – Karan Singh

'The BMW G 310 RR is a very nimble bike – it tips into corners with next to no hesitation and follows through with great mid-corner stability, even at triple-digit speeds' – Karan Singh

'The Multistrada V2 S comes with a plethora of features, making it one of the fastest motorcycles out in the real world – electronic suspension adjustment, a two-way quickshifter, cruise control, traction control, cornering lights, and more' – Karan Singh

'If styling was the only criterion for scoring, the Hypermotard 950 RVE would be my pick of the lot. It takes the best bits from superbikes and supermotos and motocross motorcycles and combines them in a package that looks as if it’s designed for pure fun' – Karan Singh

'When we first drove the Kia EV6, I called it the best electric car in the world, if the price was right, of course. Fast forward a few months, and now that we have a little more perspective after experiencing the BMW i4 and Volvo XC40 Recharge, my claim wasn’t far off the mark' – Karan Singh

'The Hyundai Venue has just got a facelift which includes a fresher face, redesigned taillights, and a slightly updated cabin and that’s about it. But the Venue has made the cut not because of its facelift but because of the 1.5-litre U2 CRDi diesel engine' – Karan Singh

'In terms of handling, the Baleno is surprisingly good. The chassis is well balanced – it is light on its feet and turns in well, and its class-leading ride quality very well complements the overall driving experience.' – Karan Singh

'The Glanza offers an absorbent ride, sorted dynamics, and predictable handling. It’s powered by the same K12 series engine, which is the benchmark in terms of refinement in its class' – Karan Singh

'The 2022 MG ZS EV could come across as a mild facelift, at first, but a closer look at it will tell you that the changes are comprehensive and make it a much better product overall.' – Karan Singh
