Putnam's family of dealerships have compared notes and compiled a short list of the best cars 2022 has to offer, including the most outstanding 2022 models of any make and model. Having sold innumerable 2022 vehicles throughout the year, we can tell you frankly and candidly which of the year's best used and new cars have made the biggest difference in our customers' lives.
2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT - Our Favorite EV of 2022
With so many new electric models to choose from, this one was a little harder to decide, but we had to give it to the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT. Not only is it making waves in the sport-electric industry, but it is also doing so in the sports-car industry. With its break-neck 0–60 speed of 3.5 seconds, the Mach-E brings the electric market to full throttle. Fast charging and premium interior amenities round it off to create an incredibly comfortable and extremely attractive sports car that just so happens to be electric.
2022 Ford Transit-150 Cargo Van - Our Favorite Commercial Vehicle
Ford’s 2022 Transit-150 Cargo Van gets our top commercial vehicle pick due to its V6, Flex Fuel, 3.5 Liter engine powertrain and a hefty 275 horsepower. Its 10 speed automatic transmission delivers a smooth ride for you and your cargo. Its sleek exterior makes the perfect statement with its front seats bucket style, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
2022's Bronco Sport - Our Favorite SUV of 2022
For over 50 years, the extensive line of Ford's Broncos have stampeded their way to the top of the list for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure lovers – and 2022's Bronco Sport boldly continues that legacy. With outstanding off-road capability, you'll be ready for any terrain with its wide wheelbase and higher clearance, all supported with some of the industry's best stock suspension. True to its DIY fan base, Ford also ensured the 2022 Bronco Sport is highly customizable, with a wide range of options from the factory and the aftermarket garage.
2022 Ford F150 Lightning - Our Favorite Truck of 2022
The 2022 Ford F150 Lightning never ceases to impress – and it practically flew off our lot. Its phenomenal 76 MPG (city) and Intelligent Range ensure that even the longest hauls are not limited. Ford went out of its way to ensure the best luxury features possible for any class truck. Proving you don't need to sacrifice power for electric, Ford's ensured even the toughest jobs and off-road adventures are well within the ability of electric vehicles.
2022 Ford Escape SE - Our Favorite Hybrid Vehicle of 2022
Ford also stated our desire for 2022's best hybrid SUV, the 2022 Ford Escape SE. It offers three cutting-edge engine options – the EcoBoost, Hybrid, or Plug-in Hybrid – and it comes in at an unbelievable price point.
The interior is also incredibly versatile, with a range of genius, on-the-fly space-saving adjustments for passengers and cargo. Altogether, the 2022 Escape SE takes the "compact" out of the compact SUV market. With such skillfully balanced form and function, it is an easy pick for the best hybrid SUV, 2022.
2022 Ford GT - Our Favorite Luxury Vehicle of 2022
It's interesting to see one of the quintessential luxury auto brands so thoroughly break the mold in performance that we had to give it to the 2022 Ford GT – because why not ride in luxury at top speed?
Ford’s homage to its 1964 Ford GT promises 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, 660 horsepower twin-turbocharged and 216 MPH of sheer thrills. It is enough to almost make you forget about the incredibly plush interior, and its sleek carbon fiber interior and exterior.
