A total of eight vehicles from the Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Ram and Jeep® brands are among those selected by the editors of Car and Driver for the 2022 edition of the publication’s annual Editors’ Choice honors.
“Car and Driver tests more cars—more thoroughly—than anyone on the planet,” says Hearst Autos Chief Brand Officer Eddie Alterman. “Our Editors’ Choice lineup represents a wide spectrum of great cars that we editors would love to park in our garages, if we only had the room!”
The 2022 Editors’ Choice list includes repeat honors for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio and Giulia Quadrifoglio premium performance vehicles, as well as the Chrysler Pacifica minivan.
Representing the all-new, fifth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee lineup, both the two-row Jeep Grand Cherokee and the three-row Jeep Grand Cherokee L were selected Editors’ Choice for Mid-Size SUV.
The 702-horsepower 2022 Ram 1500 TRX – the quickest, fastest and most powerful mass-produced truck in the world – makes the Editors’ Choice list for the second straight year. It is joined by the award-winning Ram 1500 light-duty and Ram 2500/3500 heavy-duty pick-up trucks, both repeat winners from the 2021 list.
The 2022 Car and Driver Editors’ Choice list covers 116 vehicles over 37 market segments, selected from more than 400 models that the publication’s editors have tested.
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
As the “halo” model in Alfa Romeo’s sedan lineup, the Giulia Quadrifoglio highlights Alfa Romeo’s exclusive motorsports expertise with a 505-horsepower, 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine, delivering a 3.8-second 0-60 mph time, as well as a Nürburgring lap time of 7:32. The Giulia Quadrifoglio, like the 2.0-liter 280-horespower Giulia Sprint and Giulia Ti models, embody Alfa Romeo’s “la meccanica delle emozioni” (the mechanics of emotion) spirit, bringing race-inspired performance with class-leading power, advanced technologies and seductive Italian style to the premium midsize sedan segment.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio
The 505-horsepower, all-wheel-drive Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio sets the benchmark for performance SUVs with a 0-60 mph time of only 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 176 mph.
