According to a lot of the sponsored content popping up on my social media lately, a new year is a time for renewal and a commitment to change or new things. I’ve never loved those sorts of resolutions, but several automakers are taking the theme of “new year, new me” literally, unveiling new logos meant to signify, well, something. A few even got started early, revealing their new branding before 2020 turned into 2021.

Let’s check out some logos.

At the launch of the Tata Altroz iTurbo, the carmaker announced that it has sold over 50,000 units of its premium hatchback.

  • The 2022 Nissan Ariya is a new electric crossover model similar in size to the Rogue.
  • It promises up to 300 miles of range and a starting price of $40,000.
  • Nissan says it will go on sale in the U.S. in late 2021.

    Last year, Nissan showed the Ariya concept and said it would bring this new electric crossover model to production soon. Now the company is fulfilling that promise by showing the production 2022 Ariya, which looks remarkably similar to the concept car both inside and out. The Ariya also claims up to 300 miles of driving range on a single charge, and Nissan says it will start at around $40,000 when it goes on sale in the U.S. late next year.
