Muscle Cars With The Best Power To Weight Ratio

Displacement figures, horsepower, and torque are great all-around numbers to gauge the performance of a muscle car. However, power-to-weight ratios are equally important. The power available to shift the car’s weight is just as important, with the example below being the top players in the market.

In other words, the lightest vehicle with the most power usually wins. This is determined by dividing the horsepower by the car’s weight, with the lowest number being the winner. On paper, this would mean strapping a rocket to the back of a go-kart to obtain the best power-to-weight ratio (PWR). But, in the real world fashion, history, expectations of the car, and materials all play a part.

2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Power-To-Weight Ratio: 4.72 lbs/hp

A supercar more than a muscle car, the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 can deliver 755HP, with 715 pound-feet of torque, a 0-60 time of 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 212mph. The 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine and seven-speed transmission have turned the long-standing classic into a modern powerhouse, but still with the bowtie attributes.

2022 Ford GT Power-To-Weight Ratio: 4.62 lbs/hp

In reality, the Ford GT was made as a long-distance sports car to compete in the 24 Hours of LeMans race, winning 4 times. The Ford GT has a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 660 horsepower, 550 pound-feet of torque, a top speed of 216mph and a 0-60 time of 3.0 seconds.

2023 Dodge Challenger Demon 170 Power-To-Weight Ratio: 4.17 lbs/hp

Finally, a full-fat muscle car and probably the most potent ever made. The 2023 Dodge Challenger Demon 170 could be the last hurrah of the ICE muscle cars, but what a way to go out if that is the case. The 6.2-liter Supercharged Hemi V8 produces 1,025 horsepower, 945 pound-feet of torque, weighs 4,275 lbs, with a 0-60 time of 1.66 seconds, and a top speed of 2215 mph.

These stats have won the Dodge Challenger Demon 170 accolades as the Fastest Pony car, and the fastest factory Dodge muscle car ever produced. The PWR rivals lighter-weight European supercars to give you an idea.

  Other notable mentions include the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 with 5.5 lbs/hp PWR, The 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Redeye Jailbreak Widebody with 5.69 lbs/hp, The 1969 Dodge Dart GTS with 7.26 lbs/hp, and the 1969 Plymouth Road Runner with 8.08 lbs/hp.

BNHA X Cars

KaminariSo, this is basically BNHA Street racer AU. But to be more precise I’m picking the cars for the characters from BNHA. Because cars have characteristic, it has personality and it describes you as a person. Not just based from the body but the engines and the car as whole. So, this is my pick of cars for the character of BNHA

Part 1 For the boys

I’m going to divide it into 2 cars. One is for daily drive/Sports car and the other is The Supercar. The Sports car will describe them as characters individuals. While the Supercar will describe their full potentials.

Midoriya Izuku

Midoriya Izuku, The protagonist of the Anime. He is too good of a boy to mess around street Racing. The Color for his car is obviously Green, in that case I Recommend Him.

Sport car/ Daily Drive:

The Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX.

To be more specific. It is Brian’s First car In the Fast and the furious franchise (R.I.P Paul Walker). This car is one of the Tuners favorite car to modify. It is run by 4G63 Engine, it is the same Engine that run an EVO F*CKING LANCER which is one of the finest cars that has been made on earth (Minus the Turbo). So it plays well with the whole inheritance thing with All Might.

Supercar:

For the supercar, I would Recommend McLaren 675LT

This car Look Great In green. The whole characteristic of this car reminds me of Midoriya. This car shown how it can blend to the society, how it was able to move fast and aggressively while at the same time maintaining Elegance. This car looked slim, but its performance is something else 3.8 L V8 Twin Turbo Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) Gives the ability for the driver to drive like a maniac. The car produces more or less 675 Horsepower (Just like its name) and can go to 0-100 Km in 2.9 Seconds and a top speed with 330 Km/h (205 Mph).

Bakugo Katsuki

For Bakugo, His car has to be loud and Fast! He needs a car that’s intimidating. For the color I’m Thinking Red, Yellow or Black. But since the car need to look Antagonizing, I’m going with black. So, the car that I propose.

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

Dodge Charger SRT Hell Cat 2015

This car is a 6.2L Hemi V8 Supercharged. The roars in this car is nothing short. This car is for sure is Intimidating. The roar of the engine is equivalent to Bakugo’s Roar of explosive anger. I was considering the newer one like the SRT Redeye Hellcat or even The Demon. But the demons is more of the inner demon screaming trying to get out. It needed a Rumbling sound of the V8, The insane roar that is deafening.

Supercar:

For the Supercar, it is very difficult. I can choose Hyper cars but they just felt a bit too well mannered compared to Bakugo. But I’ve given a lot of thought and the only car that fits is This

Pagani Zonda R

This car is basically an f1 with a two-seater and a roof. This bad boy is a track only car. So, it is “Street Illegal!!” But that won’t stop Bakugo for using this beauty. This car on high rev speaks will be all the explanation needed on the reason why I chose this car. A car with 700 BHP and only weight 1,070 Kg (In comparison Ford focus weight 1,471 Kg) Which is like a feather.

Todoroki Shoto

For Todoroki His car has to be cool, matured and Luxurious but also High performance. I’m a bit mixed up with the colors Whether I should make it blue or white or red. But since I cant decide I leave it in the ‘Grey’ area. Get it? Ill just get on with it.

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

Aston Martin DB11

Aston Martin is well known on it’s Luxury and History. Which fits Todoroki’s Prince aura/Characteristics. The performance is also nothing short, Aston Martin is also well known to make a brilliant Engine for racing. A twin turbocharged V12 Produce 600 BHP with a top speed 201Km/h (125Mph).

Supercar

For the Super car, I think Lamborghini Huracan Performante.

It is a naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 Engine AWD. This car has a fierce fiery engine on its car but still has that cool matured Body. And the ALA (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva) Is brilliant. It is an active Aerodynamic system that allows the car to go faster.

Tenya Iida:

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

Is the Brabus 800 GT 63s

This car is perfect fot Iida, It has a look in which my friend quote “Sophisticated Look”. And Mind you this car is probably The Fastest Car! For the sport/daily drive Car compare than anyone else in the list. This car packs a crazy 800 BHP and that’s says it all

Supercar:                  

The fastest Car In the world! In 2010. The specific look that I would like to go is Drift From Transformer: Age Of Extinction. That Blue Lining is perfect for Iida. For some people engines might be boring, But this car have the power of 1200 Horses in it

Kirishima Eijiro

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

The car that this Manly man need to go with is the 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500.

The Engine has a named called the “Predator” V8 Engine. 750 BHP is nothing short and the roar from within is on par with Bakugo’s SRT Hellcat.

Supercar:                    

I was having second thought of choosing this car. But whenever I think of Kirishima in a car, This car always pops into my head

Lamborghini Adventador SV. This car Looked manly and menacing. Why I thought about this car, is that it associated it self with a bull in which Kirishima and this car can relate to. A loud V12 Engine roars loud and deep in a intimidating voice and its perfect.

Sero Hanta

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

For Sero the car has to be traditional but still a good car nonetheless. So I pick A classic Porsche 911 turbo 1982.

It is a classic sports car, It is tunable which make the car run fast.

Supercar:                    

Ferrari 458 Italia

This car is a normal Aspirated V8 with a high rev engine. It creates something Revolutionary From something traditional.

Kaminari Denki

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

It has to be the SUPRA!!!!!!          

This car is definitely a meme, it fits with Kaminari Personality.  Seeing them is like “WTH ARE YOU DOING?!” Because both Kaminari and the car would do something ridiculously stupid.

Supercar:

For the Supercar I Would say The Lexus LFA

Lexus is one of the Artistic Legacy of the JDM Cars. It is one of the legendary Supercar that ever existed. The Normal aspirated V10 Sounded like Pure Thunder striking down on the earth. Sound menacing and amazing. It fits for Kaminari Racing Persona (Or even his villain Persona).

Mashirao Ojiro

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

Ojiro is a traditional Japanese person, So his car has to be totally Japanese. My pick have to be The S30 Fairlady Z.

To be exact the RB26 Swapped Fairlady Z from Sung Kang (Han’s Actor car from “Fast and Furious”) And that’s all I need to say about this car.

Supercar:

For the Supercar It has to be the last piece of The JDM Legend. It is The GTR R35 NISMO.

This car is perfect for Ojiro, They both are the Representative Character of Japan.

Tokoyami Fumikage

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

Blackbird 370 z

For me it’s a no Brainer. This car was featured as the Replacement of Blackbird in wangan Midnight When they aren’t allowed to use the Porsche. The slick Headlight and the whole body look is the description of Tokoyami Dark Shadow

Supercar:

Mclaren MP4-12C

That Describes Tokoyami as a whole. One of the best car that ever created in history that changes the whole world. With the black fierce look, This car looks like a shark that flies on land.

Sato Rikido

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

Sato is a muscular guy. So His sports car is definitely a Muscle Car. But It seems I have a trouble in finding it, It has to be a classic but not too old. In that reason I recommend Saleen s281 2000

It has that sporty look but still have the Muscle car Essence and history

Supercar:

For the Supercar It has to be The Corvette C8.R

This car is a new take to American cars. It is a Incredible move from the American automotive Industries.

Koda Koji

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

For Koda He is definetly a good Boy so hew probably uses a 4-door car. For instance The Subaru WRX STI 2016.

It doesn't seems Menacing but it still can move around well and when it drives, it definetly drives well.

Supercar:

For the Supercar it is definetly a NSX-R 1992 Tuned with a Rocket Bunny Body Kit.

Koda is definitely a Honda city boi. From the name itself, I am 100% it fits with Koda. Back in the day if you want a Ferrari but you can’t afford one. You’ll buy an NSX.

Shoji Mezo

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

For Shoji I think Ford’s Trophy truck.

A friend of mine said that Shoji, is the kind of guy who would drive a van for daily basis (So I guessed it has to be an American Car). But to me, Shoji is the Kind of guy that likes to get Dirt under his wheels. And I'm pretty sure Shoji is the kind of kid that doesn’t Mind flying in the car on daily basis.

Supercar:

For the Supercar I propose, Ford Gt.

It is well planted and the car is very wide. Fitting to describes Shoji’s ‘Arms’. Although it might not have similarities with his daily car, But this car is all I could think of.

Aoyama Yuga

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

For the Daily Drive, it is obviously something Luxurious, Something High class Like Bentley GT 2019. The V8 Version.

It is a confiscated yet sporty look in a car, It looked like as if he stands out compares to the other Luxury Cars

Supercar:

For the Supercar, It has to be describe as “Noblesse oblige” And the Car that fits the most is Noble M600.

It is a Supercar with all the classic features. It is a RWD Manual Transmission Car, a twin turbocharged 4L V8. Packs 640 BHP 0-60 in 3.1 Second.

Mineta Minoru

Sport Car/ Daily Drive:

It’s the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS

Basically, this car is the Japanese Equivalent To pimp rides. Even though This car is featured in The Fast and The Furious, It is just a now show car. Compared the old one, This version is a slower and much more difficult to Modify. But it is still a nice car and fun to drive with, and it is a popular car in the car culture.

Supercar:

For Mineta The Supercar might be really difficult. So in the end I just came up with the Villain version. (Inspired by ‘Nadaboodraws’ Villain Mineta on Instagram) I came up with this

It is the Audi R8, It is one of the best Affordable Supercar you can get in the world. It is 4wd But it is still an aggressive car with a mean Look.

Okay that’s all I can give for this part. For the next one will be the girls of class 1-A. If you have different opinion let me know, I would love to hear all of your thoughts and if you use my list you can go ahead and use it (But please do tell me, because hearing it will be my vindication and that would make me really happy). Anyway, thank you for reading until this far.

Karma Revero GT Mustang ✈️ ______________________________________ [6/25/19] No no no this isn’t some creation between Karma and Ford but rather Karma has made their 2020 Revero GT a stunning livery wrap to commemorate the P-51 Mustang plane for the 3,000mile GoldRush rally! 🔥@Allcarnews Spec Sheet: Powering the Revero GT is a.. 1.5L BMW Turbo 3 cylinder that acts as a generator for the 28kWh battery pack that powers electric motors to make 536HP and can do 0-60 in 4.5sec. Range is around 360miles in all with around 80miles of EV only driving.🔥 The two Revero GT’s are both fully wrapped in a silver color with one having a more prominent yellow design and the other red. I’m not too sure about the new front end of the Revero…the old Fisker mustache looked A LOT better and now all I see is a Flounder that’s a bit constipated… Its not even fully electric and costs more than a P100D Model S too. ________________________________________ ACN EXTRA: The Pininfarina Karma concept is what this should of looked like! ________________________________________ - - #GoldRush #karmaRevero #Karma #BMW #USA #Texas #ReveroGT #Revero #Electric #hybrid #carbon ||#powerful #performance #turbocharged #supercharged #advanced #SupercarsRevamped #Supercar #HyperCar #ItsWhiteNoise #CarLifeStyle #MadWhips #CupGang #Carstagram #BlackList #AmazingCars247 An #allcarnews poster https://www.instagram.com/p/BzJH0eqhLHi/?igshid=1r0h5j7pze632

Three Electric S.U.V.s With Tesla in Their Sights An electric trickle is turning into a flood: As many as 100 new E.V. models are coming to showrooms by 2025. Heavyweights including Volkswagen, General Motors and Ford are floating promises of all-electric lineups within a decade. The end times of gasoline can almost seem a fait accompli, except for one pesky issue: Even given Tesla’s strides, we’re still waiting for the first genuine E.V. sales hit, let alone a mass exodus from unleaded. In 2014, Nissan sold a mere 30,200 Leafs, and that’s still the American record for any non-Tesla model. Ford routinely sells more than 800,000 F-Series pickups. A single gasoline sport utility vehicle, the Toyota RAV4, finds well over 400,000 annual buyers, compared with roughly 250,000 sales last year for all E.V.s combined — 200,000 of which were Teslas. Automakers insist we’re “this close” to a tipping point. E.V. market share is expected to grow to as much as 50 percent by 2032, from just 1.7 percent last year, said Scott Keogh, president and chief executive of Volkswagen of America. While Tesla captured 80 percent of the U.S. market for electric vehicles in 2020, VW and other global giants — with war chests built on internal-combustion engines and unmatched scale and manufacturing know-how — are well positioned to take a piece of Tesla’s pie. “There’s never been a competitive consumer product that sits at 80 percent market share” for long, Mr. Keogh said. Globally, Volkswagen is poised to pass Tesla as the world’s biggest electric vehicle seller as early as next year, according to Deutsche Bank, with Europe and China its key markets. In America, where the brand remains an underdog, VW and other legacy automakers are concentrating fire on the sales fortress of compact S.U.V.s: Models like the RAV4, which deliver roughly four million annual segment sales. The idea, as ever, is to drive down prices and charging times of E.V.s, while bolstering driving range, until consumers see no reason to stick with polluting gasoline models whose energy-and-operating costs exceed the plug-in alternatives. Like the Rolling Stones pushing the Beatles, Mr. Keogh said, healthy competition will ultimately benefit all E.V. fans and creators. And when consumers sees E.V.s proliferate in their neighbors’ driveways, and take their first test drive, there will be no going back. “When you drive one, you’re driving the future, and that’s what people are going to want, no debate,” Mr. Keogh said. The latest electric-S.U.V. hopefuls to reach showrooms are the VW ID.4, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Volvo XC40 Recharge. The Nissan Ariya, BMW iX and Cadillac Lyriq are set to arrive between late 2021 and next March. I drove the VW, Ford and Volvo to see which might knock Tesla’s Model Y S.U.V. down a peg — or at least outsell the 2014 Leaf. Ford Mustang Mach-E Ford has branded its fabled Mustang name on an electric S.U.V., inflaming some boomers in the process. But the Mach-E seems the most straight-up rival yet to Tesla’s Model Y, in not only price and performance but also the Ford’s maximum 300-mile driving range. Consumers have noticed: Ford sold 3,729 Mach-Es in February, the first full month of sales, almost single-handedly chopping Tesla’s dominant E.V. share to 69 percent, from 80 percent. If Ford could maintain that pace for a full year, the Mach-E would easily set a sales record for an E.V. not built by Tesla. Tesla’s 326-mile Model Y Long Range still squeezes a few more miles from each onboard kilowatt-hour, owing to the carmaker’s expertise in aerodynamics, motor and battery efficiency, and to “simple” stuff that’s anything but: Its 4,416-pound curb weight undercuts the Ford by about 400 pounds. And Tesla rules the public charging space, with its Supercharger network that has rivals — now with a potential infrastructure lift from the Biden administration — racing to catch up. The Ford fires back with a sculpted exterior versus the dad-bod Model Y, a tech-savvy interior with superior materials and craftsmanship, and winning performance of its own. With 346 horsepower from dual motors, the Mach-E Premium A.W.D. that I drove shot to 60 miles an hour in 4.8 seconds. Even the new Shelby GT500 — history’s mightiest Mustang, with 760 horsepower — won’t equal the 3.5-second 0-to-60 m.p.h. blast of this summer’s Mach-E GT Performance version. The Shelby would shame the Mach-E or Tesla on any winding road, of course. Yet the Mach-E is reasonably fun through the curvy stuff, and glides with addictive thrust and confidence. A cinema-scale, 15.5-inch touch screen sneaks past the Tesla’s 15-inch unit. Like other E.V.s, the Ford broadcasts its presence below 20 m.p.h., a throat-clearing hum to alert pedestrians. Inside, in its driver-selectable “Whisper” mode, the Ford would please the most persnickety librarian. Dial up “Unbridled” mode and the Mach-E trades glorious silence for an overwrought, faux-engine sound: Think a V-8, remixed by Kraftwerk. The soundtrack is apparently for people who need to be weaned off gasoline’s combustive beat, but it can be shut off with a screen switch. E.V. shoppers can whistle over the Ford’s price, as little as $36,495, or $48,300 for the extended-range A.W.D. model. Those prices include a $7,500 federal tax credit that’s denied to buyers of Tesla (or General Motors) E.V.s, because those automakers have sold too many to qualify. So despite Tesla’s major, defensive price cuts for 2021, the most-affordable, 230-mile-range Mach-E undercuts Tesla’s 244-mile Standard Range by $6,700. A Mach-E Premium A.W.D. saves $2,900 versus a Model Y Long Range. In a surprisingly taut, compelling matchup with the Tesla, credit the government for what may be the Ford’s most alluring advantage: a $7,500 discount. Volkswagen ID.4 No, Volkswagen is not changing its name to Voltswagen, as the company briefly convinced some media and car fans in a marketing stunt gone bad. Regarding historic names, VW calls the ID.4 its most significant model since the original Beetle. But where the Beetle was a revolutionary leader, the ID.4 feels like a follower. Based on my drive, the VW can easily top its 250-mile range rating, with 275 miles within reach. A rear-drive, 201-horsepower model rolls to 60 m.p.h. in 7.6 seconds. That’s on a par with gasoline sport utilities like the Honda CR-V, but pokey by E.V. standards. Dual-motor, all-wheel-drive models arrive later this year, promising 60 m.p.h. in under six seconds. From a company famed for fun-to-drive German cars, the ID.4’s generic performance and styling are letdowns. Its infotainment system is even more disappointing: The clunky, vexing touch screen can’t touch the onscreen wizardry of the Ford, Volvo or Tesla. The VW’s snappiest performance came during a fast-charging session at a Target in New Jersey, replenishing its 77 kilowatt-hour battery from 20 to 80 percent in an impressive 31 minutes. That growing network of Electrify America chargers is funded by VW’s $2 billion, court-ordered penance for its diesel emissions scandal. And VW is offering indulgences to ID.4 buyers, with three years of free public charging. Thrifty virtues include a $41,190 base price, or $33,690 after the $7,500 federal tax break. That’s $2,800 less than the most-affordable Mach-E. It’s also less money, after credits, than a smaller Chevrolet Bolt. The more powerful ID.4 with all-wheel drive will start at $37,370, postcredit. Still, as Tesla’s triumph and Chevy’s lukewarm Bolt have proved, there’s more to electric success than an attractive price. VW is aggressively investing $80 billion to develop E.V.s, but the ID.4 feels less like a market splash and more like a toe in the water. We’ll see if VW erred by not kicking off with a recognizable design that truly connects its nostalgic, weed-hazed past to today’s green virtues: the electric ID.Buzz Microbus, due in 2023. Volvo XC40 Recharge Volvo seems such a natural fit for E.V.s. And the progressive-minded brand brings us the XC40 Recharge, an electrified take on its gasoline XC40. The Recharge is like that perfect dining table in a shelter magazine: You’re not sure why it costs so much, but you want it anyway. The Recharge’s wedgy Scandinavian styling tops every S.U.V. in this group, as does its lovely interior. That includes soft Nappa leather, versus the ascetic “vegan” materials of many E.V.s. The drive is similarly breezy, with 402 horses and a quicksilver, 4.7-second flight to 60 m.p.h. The biggest tech talking point may be Android Automotive OS: The Recharge (and Volvo’s electric Polestar 2) introduces a cloud-based Google operating system that works like a dream, with Google Maps, search, an ultra-capable voice assistant and more. (Don’t confuse this with the ubiquitous Android Auto, which simply mirrors phone apps on a car’s screen.) Several major automakers, including G.M. and Ford, plan to make Android Automotive the nerve centers of coming cars. If only the Volvo itself were as efficient. The Recharge is an electron guzzler, with a 208-mile range that seems optimistic in real-world use. I drove the Recharge in frigid New York weather, which explained some but not all of its hunger for power: No matter how I babied the throttle, the Volvo stayed on a pace for 190 miles, at best, covering about 2.4 miles for each kilowatt-hour in the batteries. I can achieve 3.6 miles per kilowatt-hour with little effort in the Tesla Model Y and above 3.2 in the Ford. Environmental Protection Agency numbers bear that out: Despite having virtually the same-size battery, the Tesla brings 326 miles of maximum range, 118 more than the Volvo. The Recharge is also expensive for its intimate size: $54,985 to start, and nearly $60,000 for the model I drove. That $7,500 federal tax break softens the blow. Yet if the Volvo indulges bourgeois buyers, they’ll also need to indulge its profligate ways. Source link Orbem News #Electric #Sights #SUVs #Tesla

2021 Bentley Flying Spur V8 first drive review: All-weather escapism

it is a stunning morning in west hollywood and there's a bentley flying spur parked outdoor my apartment. should i take it up the coast? head out to the desert and stretch its legs on some empty roads? or have to i simply cruise thru beverly hills to blend in with the social elite? any of those options is a perfect use case for a car just like the new flying spur. but the solution ended up being a wildcard: none of the above.

see, this precise flying spur is accidentally rolling on pirelli sottozero wintry weather tires, which aren't precisely useful in sunny la. so i determine screw it, i'll simply cross discover a few snow, and it is off to big undergo lake within the mountains northeast of la. turns out the flying spur is an appropriate automobile there, too. the v8 alternative is new for the 2021 flying spur. it is the identical dual-turbo four.zero-liter engine determined within the bentayga and continental gt, as well as a number of different volkswagen institution products. here, the v8 makes 542 horsepower and 568 pound-ft of torque. bentley quotes a four.0-2d 0-to-60-mph time and a 197-mph pinnacle speed, that are zero.three seconds and 10 mph slower than the w12's figures. however, the v8 version makes up for the deficit with a 220-pound weight loss, no longer to say better weight distribution. like the w12, the v8 spur is best available with a rear-biased all-wheel-pressure system.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/23/technology/personaltech/good-bad-tech-2020.html

in spite of the slower acceleration times, the v8 flying spur feels quicker than the w12. the acceleration is more visceral, and you continue to get an epic, porsche-derived, easy-to-use release control system. all you want to do is put the auto in sport mode, put one foot at the brake and the other on the gas, look forward to the revs to hit round 4,000 rpm and launch the brake. if you've never experienced wheelspin at every nook even as launching a five,137-pound, 17.four-foot-lengthy luxury sedan earlier than, i rather advocate it. the flying spur eats up the highway miles quite simply. the v8 has cylinder deactivation, assisting me beat the epa-expected 20 miles in keeping with gallon toll road discern. the winter tires are a little noisy and give the car a piece of a rougher trip as compared to the standard all-seasons, but the spur remains supremely relaxed.

it is about a 30 mile drive from the base of the mountain to the town of huge undergo, and maximum of that uphill journey is in prevent-and-pass traffic. it is a clean day and the roads are dry, and there is a constant circulate of vehicles coming downhill. no matter this spur's subtle silver paint, smaller wheels and black exterior trim, it nevertheless turns heads. the huge majority of automobiles up right here are such things as lifted subarus, toyota 4runners, jeep wranglers and ford f-one hundred fifty raptors, and their occupants factor and stare. they can not believe i'm heading to the snow in a bentley sedan.

https://www.pinterest.com/aaahearingaids/health-tips/

except you have 4-wheel pressure and iciness tires, snow chains are required on all cars in massive bear this time of 12 months. on the manner up the mountain there are numerous pull-off points in which people in family sedans and front-wheel-pressure crossovers stop to suit the chains, every now and then with officials to assist. it is pretty hilarious to waft with the aid of in a bentley sedan whilst getting a rubdown and taking note of some mariah carey on the $eight,880 naim audio machine, understanding that my automobile is greater organized for the snow than theirs.

One Week With the 2020 Maserati Levante Trofeo

This Italian street brawler might just be too much of a gentleman.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA—I hate to use the Jekyll and Hyde metaphor in a car review, because it's just such an overused trope. But try as I might—and I promise you, I have been trying—I just can't come up with a better way to describe the Maserati Levante Trofeo. (This might have something to do with the way the Levante scrambled my brains when driven in full-on Hyde mode.)

For those unfamiliar, the Levante Trofeo is the top-of-the-line version of Maserati's SUV, and what sets it apart from other Levantes is the Ferrari-built 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-8 under its hood. Actually, that's a fib—the Levante GTS gets the same V-8, but with "only" 550 horsepower instead of the Trofeo's 590 horsepower. The engine is a close relative of the 3.9-liter V-8 found in the Ferrari 488 Pista, SF90 Stradale, and the F8 Tributo that stole my heart a few weeks back.

For those whose eyes just glazed over, allow me to repeat the two salient phrases in the previous paragraph: Ferrari twin-turbo V-8. Five-hundred ninety horsepower.

And if you think such a glorious engine is wasted in a family-friendly SUV, then you clearly aren't familiar with Maserati.

Ferrari Power For A Maserati SUV For starters, it's quick. Like, seriously quick. Seriously, amazingly, astoundingly quick. Maser claims a 3.7-second 0-60 time, but those numbers never tell the real story, which is this: The Levante Trofeo frickin' flies. The way it accelerates defies reality. They used to have to split atoms to make things move this fast.

And the soundtrack? Oh, sweet insert-the-name-of-your-favorite-deity-here, does it sound amazing. Though, to be honest, it took me a while to warm to the noises coming from the Trofeo's V-8. I'm a big fan of the V-6 used in the Ghibli and lesser Levantes, which has an exhaust that snaps, crackles, and pops as if an arsonist snuck into a fireworks factory. The Levante Trofeo's voice seems to come more from the intake and engine itself than its exhaust, and it's a soulful wail, a mechanical opera of the sort that Italians do best. I blasted through the canyons with the windows down, and the echoes off the rock walls made it sound as if I was trackside at a vintage Ferrari race.

As for that blasting through the canyons, the Levante Trofeo is surprisingly good in the turns, and not just good-for-an-SUV. The one caveat is that you must, must, must switch the suspension to Sport mode, otherwise the Levante will wallow up and down on its air springs like an old Ford Country Squire wagon. Tie that suspension down, though, and you're in for the SUV ride of your life. The Levante grips tenuously, keeps body motions in check, and blasts out of the corners like a rocket. When I read the spec sheet and saw that it weights nearly 5,000 pounds, I could hardly believe it—the Levante sure as hell doesn't drive like a two-and-a-half ton SUV. We don't know yet how a Ferrari SUV would drive, but I sure as hell hope it'll be pretty similar to the Levante Trofeo.

So that's the evil side of its personality, and it's the best damn Mr. Hyde I've driven in ages.

The Jekyll Side Of The Maserati Levante Trofeo But what of Dr. Jekyll? Yes, the Levante Trofeo does that well. Perhaps a bit too well.

For one thing, there's the styling. It's subtle, to be sure—racy, maybe, but a bit generic. Certainly not in-your-face-badass like a Mercedes GLE63 AMG or a BMW X5 M. The reverse-facing hood scoops are my favorite detail; they face towards the cabin, letting you see into them from inside, which is cool. But the curb appeal is limited. My neighbors figured I must be driving something special, and when I told them it was a Maserati, they responded with equal parts of surprise and delight. It was the surprise that was the problem, I think: The shape is too tame for a Maserati. When you're a $150,000 super-SUV, there is such a thing as being too subtle.

I would level that same accusation at the interior. Nearly everything in the Levante Trofeo's cabin is wrapped in leather, black with red stitching in the case of my test vehicle, or slathered with (optional) carbon-fiber. The problem is that the other trim pieces were made from plastic of a rather chintzy order, not unlike what I'd expect to find in a Fiat 500. Perhaps if my test car had the optional bright-red interior I might have felt differently, but I just didn't get that best-of-the-best sensation that one experiences in a high-end Mercedes. Screens are limited to a square-ish one for the infotainment system and a small-ish one between the gauges, and the level of infotainment technology is about what you'd expect in a Toyota. (Or perhaps I should say a Dodge, as the software is essentially a reskin of Chrysler's UConnect.)

Is The Maserati Levante Trofeo Too Subtle? The driving experience in Jekyll mode is every bit as good as in Hyde mode, and for all the right (and opposite) reasons: The Levante Trofeo is quiet, comfortable, and relaxed, as understated as a proper English butler. My wife Robin and I spent our first day with the Trofeo taking a distraught friend to the beach, and aside from the ability to pass slow 18-wheelers on two-lane back roads at a single bound, there was nothing to indicate what a monster this thing becomes when whipped up. I suppose that's a good thing, but it's also a problem. I hate to keep bringing up Mercedes, but witness the GLE63 AMG. It's just as smooth and comfortable as the Levante Trofeo when driven calmly, but at least it gives you some indication of the hell-hound waiting within.

As a car fanatic, I know I should appreciate the pure elegance of the Maserati Levante Trofeo's split personality. But I have to put myself in the mindset of someone buying this car (a difficult thing to do on the salary of an automotive journalist), and I have to wonder if the target buyer wants something this purely elegant. I see a fair number of Ghiblis and Quattroportes here in SoCal, and I think part of their success is that they've got attitude—not too much, not too little, but attitude. The Levante Trofeo might be playing its proverbial cards just a little too close to the proverbial vest.

It would be a shame if the Levante Trofeo's subtlety hides its true abilities, because unlike other supposedly-sporty SUVs I can name, the Maserati is an outstanding family hauler and an outstanding performance SUV, powered by an astounding engine with a pedigree that no German automaker can top. In terms of its Italian heritage, it's as authentic as Luciano Pavarotti. This is an SUV that need apologize to no one. Its split personality is an amazing thing to behold—but I wish it were a little more Hyde and a little less Jekyll. ผลบอล7mคะแนน

Future Cars! 2021 And Beyond

Everything seems to be changing by the hour as the global health crisis completely upends the way the world works, but while automakers are making face shields and ventilators, the core of the business—designing and engineering cars to (someday) sell—continues apace. It may be happening in home offices and otherwise socially distanced manners, but these machines are just too complicated to completely shut down research and development and restart it later. Plus, suppliers have been contracted to make everything from shock absorbers to stamping dies—and they need to get paid.

The cars on sale today and coming to a dealer near you in the next year have been in development for the past five to 10 years. The ones you’ll be able to buy a few years from now are already deep in the development process. Cars you won’t be able to buy for the better part of a decade are already being approved, with a design freeze in progress. This industry runs on a multiyear cycle, so even when it’s disrupted, there’s always more on the way. One note: The arrival dates are subject to change based on the duration of quarantines in various regions.

From the SUVs, trucks, and cars already confirmed for production when the factories reopen to those waiting to have the sheet pulled later this year and the ones still in the concept phase, we have more than 50 of the most interesting and exciting new vehicles coming to your streets and driveways. Endless variations of SUVs, radical trucks, cars of the future, and all manner of cleaner, safer technology are coming, and we have the goods on all of it. – Scott Evans

Future SUVs: What’s NOW

Whether it’s cheap gas, perceived safety, or just collective preference, SUVs and crossovers are the fastest-growing segment of the vehicle market, mostly at the expense of cars. American shoppers can’t get enough of ’em, and automakers are happy to design as many of these higher-profit margin vehicles as they can to meet the demand.

Much as cars used to offer a wide variety of body styles and functions appealing to all sorts of buyers, SUVs and crossovers today come in seemingly endless shapes, sizes, and powertrains. From EVs to rock crawlers, there’s something for everyone coming to your local showroom soon.

Toyota Venza

(Read our First Look at the all-new 2021 Toyota Venza here)

What’s New: After a brief break, the Toyota Venza is back as a sleek, high-tech, high-efficiency SUV. No longer a tall wagon, the Venza isn’t an off-roader, but rather a lifestyle vehicle. Powered exclusively by a hybrid drivetrain, it’ll get up to 40 mpg while offering standard all-wheel drive by mounting an electric motor on the rear axle. Brake torque vectoring and sport-tuned suspension should make it fun to drive for a crossover, and touches like an option panoramic electrochromatic glass roof that brightens or darkens with the push of a button give it luxury appeal.

What’s Not: The Venza shares a platform, drivetrain, and key components such as the infotainment system with other Toyota products.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $30,000 (est)

Ford Mustang Mach-E

(Read our First Look at the all-new 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E here)

What’s New: The latest addition to the Mustang model line is a battery-electric crossover four-door SUV. Really. Although the Mach-E looks nothing like any Mustang before it, the Blue Oval’s EV certainly packs the straight-line punch to woo pony car fans. The most powerful model—the nearly 460-hp Mach-E GT—aims to scoot from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The slinky crossover relies on one of two available battery packs to power its standard rear-axle motor and optional front-axle motor: a 76-kW-hr Standard Range pack or a 99-kW-hr Extended Range setup. Ford estimates a maximum driving range of 300 miles between charges for rear-drive Mach-Es equipped with the Extended Range battery, though a heavy right foot will surely drag down that distance.

What’s Not: Save for its Mustang nomenclature, the Mach-E shares little else with any Ford before it.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $44,995

Genesis GV80

(Read our First Look at the all-new 2021 Genesis GV80 here)

What’s New: At long last, the Genesis brand’s first SUV is launching for the 2021 model year. The GV80 is a midsize, rear-drive-based SUV with seating for five. The GV80 will be plenty luxurious in base form, offering extra-posh features such as diamond-stitched leather, ash wood trim, augmented reality navigation, and more at a competitive price. Engine choices for the U.S. will include a 2.5-liter turbocharged I-4 making 300 hp and a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 good for 375 hp. Both engines will come mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

What’s Not: The GV80 is all-new from the ground up, but the design hasn’t changed much from the excellent concept we first saw in 2017.

When: Summer 2020

How Much: $49,925

Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV

(Read our First Look at the all-new 2021 Cadillac Escalade here)

What’s New: Cadillac shares its stretched, independently suspended architecture, 6.2-liter V-8 and I-6 diesel engines, and 10-speed transmission with the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon. It justifies its hefty price premium with such tech treasures as 38 inches of curved OLED display screen, augmented reality navigation, Super Cruise, night vision, and AKG Studio Reference 36-speaker sound. New for 2021, a Sport model features blackout trim. Cadillac offers eight interior color themes that can be decorated with myriad woods and leather sew patterns. Standard-wheelbase versions will launch late this year, with the Suburban-size ESV following in early 2021.

What’s Not: Platinum remains the ne plus ultra trim grade.

When: Late 2020 (ESV early 2021)

How Much: $77,500-$102,000 (est)

Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban

(Read our First Look at the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe here)

(Read our First Look at the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Suburban here)

What’s New: Nearly everything, but most important: an independent rear suspension. This change, plus the addition of 4.9 and 6.8 inches to the Tahoe’s wheelbase and length (Suburban adds 4.1 and 1.3 inches) aims to again wrest dimensional and ride/handling superiority from Ford’s Expedition/Max. Fourth-gen magnetic ride control shocks are optional, with the upper trims getting MR plus height-adjustable air suspension. There’s a new 270-hp, 460-lb-ft 3.0-liter I-6 diesel option, and all models get a 10-speed automatic. The fancier High Country trim helps keep the Chevy faithful from straying to Yukon Denalis.

What’s Not: The 5.3- and 6.2-liter V-8s continue, adding DFM cylinder deactivation; 2500 and 3500 variants are dropped.

When: Mid-2020

How Much: $50,295-$70,895 (Tahoe), $52,995-$73,595 (Suburban)

GMC Yukon/Yukon XL

(Read our First Look at the all-new 2021 GMC Yukon and 2021 GMC Yukon XL here)

What’s New: To everything mentioned in Chevy’s Tahoe/Suburban entry, add GMC’s AT4 off-road-optimized package, which builds on Chevy’s Z71 hardware, for both Yukons. It adds Active Response 4WD electronics plus an electric-locking limited-slip differential, red tow hooks, and more luxurious interior trim. Denali models (60 percent of sales) get a unique dash with integrated touchscreen—rather than one perched on top. There are also real wood inserts, a 15-inch color head-up display, four color themes, and a GMC-exclusive power-sliding center console with a “safe drawer.”

What’s Not: The level of exterior bling on Denali models.

When: Early Summer 2020

How Much: $51,995-$54,595 (Yukon), $54,695-$75,395 (XL)

Ford Bronco Sport

(Read our deep dive on the all-new Ford Bronco Sport here)

What’s New: The Ford Bronco Sport is the rugged cousin to the Ford Escape, which it shares underpinnings with. The off-road-focused compact SUV is unibody and front-wheel-drive based, but Ford considers it part of the Bronco family, and as such it shares some styling cues with the larger, body-on-frame Bronco. The Bronco Sport is expected to have the 180-hp 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder as its base engine and an optional 250-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, both mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive will likely be standard. The look is boxier and more upright than the rounded, urban Escape—with shorter overhangs, underbody protection, a two-piece liftgate, chunky roof rails, and black plastic fenders. In keeping with Ford’s overall plans, there will be a hybrid or plug-in hybrid version.

What’s Not: It shares its front-wheel-drive platform and its engines with the Ford Escape.

When: late 2020

How Much: $30,000 (est)

Nissan Rogue

(Read our deep dive on the upcoming Nissan Rogue here)

What’s New: Nissan’s best-seller is moving to a new platform shared with Renault and Mitsubishi alliance to keep it among the top 10 best-selling vehicles in America. What you’ll see and touch has been brought into line with Nissan’s latest styling language inside and out. We expect Nissan’s latest 2.5-liter inline-four under the hood driving the front (or all four) wheels, and there’s also the possibility Nissan will put its clever VC-Turbo inline-four under the hood of a sporty model. No matter what, expect a continuously variable transmission. Inside, look for an optional digital dash and a 9.0-inch infotainment screen borrowed from the new Titan.

What’s Not: We expect the new Rogue to ride on the same platform as before, and a number of its parts and features will be shared from other Nissan products.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $27,000 (est)

Volkswagen Tiguan

(Read our First Look at the 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan here)

What’s New: Volkswagen’s global best-seller is due up for a refresh, and you’ll recognize it right away with its sportier nose job and all-LED external lighting front and back. Inside, the Tiguan gets a sportier steering wheel, borrowed from the larger Atlas Cross Sport, and VW’s latest infotainment system with over-the-air update capability. Also available: multicolor interior ambient lighting to set the mood.

What’s Not: Everything else. Volkswagen is considering a plug-in hybrid drivetrain option for the next-generation Tiguan, but for now, it sticks with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic.

When: Fall 2021

How Much: $26,000 (est)

Alfa Romeo Tonale

(Read our First Look at the Alfa Romeo Tonale Concept here)

What’s New: Alfa needs to expand its lineup, and fast. SUVs are hot, so next up is the subcompact Tonale to slot under the compact Stelvio. We expect it to be front-drive based with the option of all-wheel drive, and it will use FCA’s small SUV architecture. The Tonale Concept was powered by an unspecified plug-in hybrid drivetrain, which we think could be the 1.3-liter turbo-four in front and electric motor in the rear used by the Europe-only Jeep Renegade plug-in hybrid, which makes 240 hp total. We also think the Alfa will get a non-hybrid option, probably a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4.

What’s Not: The Tonale will share a platform and likely powertrains with other FCA small crossovers, such as the Jeep Renegade.

When: Early 2021

How Much: $35,000 (est)

Audi E-Tron Sportback

(Read our First Look at the 2020 Audi E-Tron Sportback here)

What’s New: Although it’s essentially a fastback version of the E-Tron SUV, with a new roof, new rear quarter panels, and a new tailgate, the E-Tron Sportback has a more carlike presence, like a tall hatchback rather than an SUV trying to look sporty. The Sportback will benefit from a number of technical upgrades from Audi designed to boost range. The front motor will disengage under normal driving, the 95-kW-hr battery’s thermal management system has been made more efficient, and the battery’s usable capacity has been increased to 86.5 kW-hr. As with the regular E-Tron, the well-equipped Sportback will be available in Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels.

What’s Not: The powertrain is the same as the regular E-Tron, with a 187-hp, 231-lb-ft motor at the rear axle and a 168-hp, 182-lb-ft motor up front. Total system output is 355 hp and 413 lb-ft, and an overboost mode gives 402 hp and 490 lb-ft for 8 seconds.

When: 2021

How Much: $80,000 (est)

Kia Sorento

(Read our First Look at the 2021 Kia Sorento here)

What’s New: Completely redesigned, the Sorento receives a new windswept exterior design. Kia also upgrades the interior with a large screen and sleek controls. Expect ride quality to improve now that the SUV sits on a new platform. New engine options should give the Sorento an extra pep in its step. A 1.6-liter turbo-four works with an electric motor to produce 227 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.5-liter turbo-four makes 277 hp and 311 lb-ft.

What’s Not: Some styling cues reference the Telluride, including the vertical taillights.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $30,000 (est)

Volkswagen ID 4

(Read our First Look at the Volkswagen ID4 EV here)

What’s New: Volkswagen has learned Americans aren’t much interested in hatchbacks, which is why the first of its all-electric MEB-platform vehicles to arrive stateside will be an SUV. The ID 4 is about the size of Tiguan, but the interior is much roomier. The MEB architecture follows the now-familiar skateboard platform, with a large battery pack between the wheels and motors at the axles. The base ID 4 is likely to be a single-motor rear-drive model, with a GTX version offering two motors, all-wheel drive, and more performance. Top-end ID 4s are expected to have a range of close to 300 miles.

What’s Not: The interior hardware is shared with the ID 3 hatch recently launched in Europe, with a compact digital instrument panel in front of the driver and a large centrally mounted touchscreen for infotainment and HVAC functions.

When: 2021

How Much: $35,000 (est)

Volvo XC40 Recharge

(Read our First Look at the 2020 Volvo XC40 Recharge here)

What’s New: The XC40 Recharge marks the debut of Volvo’s first-ever all-electric powertrain. The Recharge shares Volvo’s Compact Modular Architecture with the regular XC40, but there’s a liquid-cooled 78-kW-hr battery pack under the floor and a motor on each axle. Volvo claims 408 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque and a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds. As with all new Volvos, top speed will be limited to 112 mph. Volvo does its own battery research and development in-house and says the available capacity of the battery pack will be 75 kW-hr, which should easily give the XC40 Recharge a range of 240 miles or more.

What’s Not: Apart from the blanked-off grille, the XC40 Recharge looks just like a regular XC40. That’s no bad thing, as Volvo’s entry-level SUV is one of the most stylish in the segment.

When: 2021

How Much: $55,000 (est)

Polestar 2

(Read our deep dive on the 2021 Polestar 2 EV here)

What’s New: Polestar 2 is the second model for the Scandinavian brand spun off from Volvo to concentrate on performance electric vehicles. Polestar 1 was a plug-in hybrid, but Polestar 2 is a mainstream all-electric premium four-door sedan to battle the Tesla Model 3. The 2 will have a range of about 275 miles with the 78-kW-hr battery in the floor. Front and rear motors provide a combined output of 400 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque. A vegan interior is optional, the infotainment system uses an Android operating system to run Google automotive services, and the advanced tech allows the car to try to anticipate the occupants’ needs.

What’s Not: It features an adaptation of the Volvo CMA architecture used by the Volvo XC40 and the Volvo 11-inch Sensus infotainment screen.

When: Summer 2020

How Much: $63,000 (est)

Fisker Ocean

(Read our First Look at the 2021 Fisker Ocean EV here)

What’s New: Longtime BMW and Aston Martin designer—and creator of the ill-fated Fisker Karma—Henrik Fisker has bounced back with a green-friendly, five-passenger EV crossover called the Ocean. The Ocean checks all the contemporary EV boxes—up to 300 miles of range, battery capacity north of 80 kW-hr, base 2WD and available AWD, a cool 16-inch center-mounted touchscreen with a haptic touchpad, and a charging partnership with Electrify America. Fun features? A novel multilink rear suspension, a roll-down rear-hatch window for carrying long objects, and karaoke words displayed on the head-up display. The Ocean will be significantly composed of recycled materials such as retrieved ocean plastics and old fishing net.

What’s Not: Although the Fisker name is familiar, everything about the Ocean is new, including the company behind the name.

When: Summer 2022

How Much: $37,499

Future SUVS: What’s NEXT

The SUV and crossover craze shows no sign of slowing down, and automakers are doing their level best to feed the fire with all sorts of new models in the pipeline. They’ll be greener, higher-tech, and more luxurious than ever. Some will even question what it means to be a driver, as opposed to a mere occupant. Whether you plug them in or fill them up, whether you drive them or they drive you, there will be more options than ever for an off-road-looking vehicle in the years to come.

Cadillac Lyriq

(Read our First Look at the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq here)

What’s New: The Cadillac Lyriq is an electric midsize crossover with a long wheelbase, wide stance, fastback roof, big air inlets, body-flush door handles, and 23-inch wheels—at least on the concept. The traditional grille is replaced with backlit lines in a precision pattern with Cadillac’s iconic crest between vertical headlights. There are vertical taillights beneath an upper set of lights, called a “sail tail,” that start behind each D-pillar and flow into the directional lights on the tailgate. It will be Cadillac’s first pure EV, using GM’s BEV3 dedicated electric vehicle architecture and Ultium fast-charging batteries. All-wheel drive will be available. The five-passenger vehicle has a 34-inch curved LED touchscreen that dominates the dashboard.

What’s Not: It takes its styling cues from the Cadillac Escala concept.

When: 2022

How Much: $75,000 (est)

Cruise Origin

(Read our First Look at the Cruise Orgin AV here )

What’s New: The Cruise Origin is a boxy, six-passenger, electric, autonomous ride-hail van developed by Cruise in collaboration with General Motors. The robotaxi has two big sliding doors and a low load floor for easy access. The six passengers sit facing each other, with room for their luggage. There is no driver; sensors, cameras, radar, and lidar assess the surroundings and make the driving decisions. The Origin uses GM’s BEV3 dedicated electric vehicle architecture and likely GM’s Ultium fast-charging batteries. It will be a commercial vehicle only, for use in ride-hail services, with plans to also build a delivery van.

What’s Not: Everything is new.

When: 2022

How Much: $50,000 (commercial sale only)

Jeep Wagoneer/Jeep Grand Wagoneer

What’s New: FCA is going all-in on full-size three-row SUVs with the Jeep Wagoneer and Jeep Grand Wagoneer. The former, designed to be more mainstream, will go up against the Tahoes and Expeditions of the world. The latter will be a luxury flagship for the Jeep brand, set to square off against the revitalized Escalade and Navigator. Expect the Jeep’s unique selling proposition to be exceptional off-road capability and a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Here’s hoping for the return of wood paneling, too.

What’s Not: If the modified Ram 1500 test mules that frequently pass by our Los Angeles headquarters are any indication, the Jeep Wagoneers will share much with our 2019 Truck of the Year. The two Wagoneers will be built on a modified Ram 1500 platform in Michigan with a ride-enhancing independent rear suspension. Expect a 3.6-liter V-6 and 5.7-liter V-8—likely both with emissions-reducing eTorque motors—and an eight-speed automatic to be borrowed from the Ram, too.

When: Late 2021

How Much: $50,000 (Wagoneer) (est); $75,000 (Grand Wagoneer) (est)

Chevrolet Bolt EUV

(Read our deep dive on the upcoming 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV here)

What’s New: For the 2022 model year, Chevrolet will expand the Bolt lineup to include the new Bolt EUV, a larger, more SUV-like Bolt variant that is front-drive only. The wheelbase is 3 inches longer for more room in the back seat. Overall the vehicle is 5 to 6 inches longer. The look is more upright and in line with Chevrolet’s latest styling language. It will be the first non-Cadillac to get Super Cruise, the hands-free highway driving system. It also has a push-button gearshift and a button for one-pedal driving. Also available: a sunroof, unlike the standard Bolt.

What’s Not: The new EUV rides on the same BEV2 platform, with the same 66-kW-hr batteries as the current Bolt EV, not GM’s new BEV3 dedicated EV architecture or Ultium battery system for longer range and faster charging.

When: 2021

How Much: $41,000 (est)

Hyundai Tucson

What’s New: The Hyundai Vision T Concept seen here is essentially the next-generation Tucson, introducing the brand’s future SUV design language. Along with a new platform, new powertrains include a hybrid and possibly a sporty N-Line model with the same 2.5-liter turbo I-4 in the Sonata N-Line. Expect plenty of driver assistance features to come standard. A huge 10.3-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster should be on the menu, too.

What’s Not: Hyundai’s user-friendly infotainment system remains. That’s a good thing because it’s one of the brand’s biggest strengths, especially as screen sizes increase.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $22,000 (est)

Lexus LQ

What’s New: Ultra-premium, ultra-expensive SUVs have exploded in popularity and profit margin, and Lexus doesn’t want to be left out. In fact, the brand has already shown us what it’s going to do with the LF-1 Limitless Concept. When it goes into production, expect it to remain a big, roomy two-row luxury SUV with an opulent interior and the next generation of Lexus design language. As for its name, all current Lexus SUVs use a two-letter name with an X as the second letter, but this won’t replace the existing LX. However, Toyota applied for the “LQ” trademark in 2018—right after the Limitless concept made its debut at the Detroit auto show.

What’s Not: Built on Toyota’s new TNGA-L platform, we expect the flagship to carry the new LS 500h’s 3.5-liter V-6, which currently makes 354 hp, and CVT and four-speed automatic hybrid transmission.

When: 2022

How Much: $100,000

Infiniti QX55

What’s New: Infiniti is entering the now-popular SUV coupe game with the QX55. Based on the QX50, the QX55 was inspired by the original, groundbreaking FX, and instead of having a swooping silhouette like the Mercedes-Benz GLE, its profile is nearly identical to the FX. The rear glass has a steep angle, which gives the QX55 that coupelike shape at the expense of some cargo capacity. Expect enormous Infiniti logos and lettering on the hatch and other cool details.

What’s Not: The powertrain. We expect the QX55 to be powered by the same 2.0-liter variable-compression turbo engine, which means its 268 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque would be sent to the front or all four wheels via a continuously variable transmission.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $40,000 (est)

Porsche Macan EV

(Read our deep dive on the upcoming Porsche Macan EV here)

What’s New: Porsche’s Taycan delivers shocking electric performance, but that vehicle’s price and layout give it niche appeal. How can the brand apply its EV learnings to a mass-market offering? By electrifying its best-selling Macan. Trouble is, the MLB platform it rides on wasn’t designed for battery propulsion (though Audi adapted it for the E-Tron crossover). As such, the Macan will be built on the PPE architecture that provides the basis for the Volkswagen Group’s premium electric cars.

What’s Not: Electric hardware and software developed for the Taycan will be adapted for use in the Macan EV—not like that’s a bad thing.

When: 2022

How Much: $65,000 (est)

Volvo XC100

(Read our deep dive on the upcoming Volvo XC100 here)

What’s New: Volvo needs a halo car to show its commitment to and capabilities with electric propulsion. That’ll manifest in the XC100, a flagship luxury SUV. Although it’ll be mechanically similar to the family-oriented next-gen XC90, the XC100 will take a more indulgent approach. Expect a four-seat layout, comfort-tuned dynamics, autonomous capabilities, and dramatic styling intended to distinguish Volvo from its Polestar performance division. Volvo might continue to build a hybrid XC90, but the XC100 will be purely electric to show the brand’s dedication to a gasoline-free future.

What’s Not: The new SPA-II architecture will be the basis for all of Volvo’s SUVs, from the XC40 to the XC100. Also shared: the Android infotainment system that’s making its way into Volvo and Polestar cars.

When: 2022

How Much: $85,000 (est)

Byton M-Byte

(Read our First Look at the all-new 2021 Byton M-Byte here)

What’s New: Byton’s first offering, the battery-electric M-Byte, is an automotive Rorschach test. Some see the natural evolution of the automobile into a connected, interactive, technology-loaded mobility platform. Others are aghast by its dash-spanning 48-inch screen and de-emphasis of driving (the front seats even swivel toward each other by 10 degrees to ease conversation). Although the Level 4 autonomy it anticipates has been delayed, the China-based company is carrying on undaunted. Like many other new EV entries, Byton is partnering with Electrify America for public charging.

What’s Not: The M-Byte is brand new from the ground to its roof.

When: Fall 2021

How Much: $45,000 (est)

Future Cars: What’s NOW

They’re losing market share to trucks and SUVs, but traditional passenger cars are far from dead. Although some automakers (ahem, Detroit) aren’t even trying to sell sedans and coupes anymore, all the car companies remaining are working twice as hard to make their offerings sleeker, more compelling alternatives to the taller, truckier versions of the same underlying vehicles. Whether it’s sexier styling, more power, or more batteries, there’s a car for anyone not taken by the SUV craze.

Ferrari Roma

(Read our First Look at the Ferrari Roma here)

What’s New: Roma is the first car to come off an all-new modular vehicle architecture that will eventually underpin next-gen versions of the Portofino and GTC4Lusso, as well as the long-awaited Ferrari Purosange SUV. Critically, this architecture has been designed from the outset to accommodate a plug-in hybrid powertrain, though the Roma will launch only with internal combustion engine power. The 3.9-liter twin-turbo V-8 under the Roma’s hood makes 612 hp and 593 lb-ft, enough to scoot it from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.2 seconds, and drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Ferrari claims the best weight-to-power ratio in the class. The Roma will feature the latest version of the company’s excellent Side Slip Control, with a drift mode that uses brake pressure to adjust the yaw angles.

What’s Not: The engine is an upgraded version of the V-8 used in the Portofino and GTC4Lusso T, and the transmission comes from the SF90.

When: 2020

How Much: $230,000 (est)

Honda Civic

(Read our deep dive on the next Honda Civic here)

What’s New: Everything. If you take a look at previous life cycles, the Honda Civic has been replaced roughly every five years—and if the New York auto show had happened in April as scheduled, we would have pictures by now. We expect the 11th generation to be completely redesigned for the 2021 model year, with new styling and technology and upgraded powertrains. Given the popularity of the coupe and hatchback, we think Honda will continue to offer those body styles, along with the popular four-door sedan. Expect to see the traditional trims first, followed by the performance-oriented Si and Type R in later year models.

What’s Not: It’s likely we’ll see at least one engine carried over from the current model and parts shared with other Honda products.

When: Late 2020

How much: $22,000 (est)

Hyundai Elantra

(Read our First Look at the 2021 Hyundai Elantra here)

What’s New: The new Elantra continues Hyundai’s design revolution with its odd new mug, lots of triangular themes, and an all-new compact car platform underpinning it. In true Hyundai fashion, the 2021 Elantra is available with an overload of tech features, including two 10.3-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and phone-as-key capability. For the first time, a hybrid model joins the lineup, and it brings fuel economy of more than 50 mpg. Expect an N-Line and full-fledged N model to follow the standard Elantra and the hybrid.

What’s Not: The base 2.0-liter I-4 and CVT carry over from the previous-generation Elantra.

When: Fall 2020

How Much: $19,000 (est)

Genesis G80

(Read our First Look at the 2021 Genesis G80 here)

What’s New: Underpinned by a new Genesis-exclusive RWD platform shared with the GV80 SUV, the second-generation G80 returns with an assertive new look. Two new turbocharged engines, also shared with the GV80, offer 300 hp or more, powering the rear wheels (or all four). Step inside, and you’re greeted with a minimalist yet stylish design highlighted by the infotainment system’s massive 14.5-inch screen.

What’s Not: The standard eight-speed automatic transmission in the 2021 Genesis G80 is an updated version of the same unit found in the G70 and G90.

When: Summer 2020

How Much: $49,000 (est)

Mercedes-Benz E-Class

(Read our First Look at the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class here)

What’s New: It’s basically a refresh of the current E-Class, with a new grille and front bumper, a new hood with twin power domes, new LED rear lights and rear bumper, and the latest generation of the MBUX user interface. The 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 that powers today’s E 450 is gone, replaced by the 3.0-liter turbocharged mild hybrid inline-six that produces the same 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. And the plug-in hybrid E 350e sedan joins the lineup with a powertrain composed of the 2.0-liter turbo-four from the E 350 augmented by a 120-hp electric motor that contributes to a combined output of 315 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque.

What’s Not: The entry-level 255-hp, 273-lb-ft 2.0-liter turbo-four is unchanged. This engine, which shares its architecture and 48-volt mild hybrid system with the new inline-six, arrives in the U.S. with refreshes of the C-Class sedan and GLC SUV.

When: 2020

How Much: $55,000 (est)

BMW 4 Series

(Read our deep dive on the new BMW 4 Series here)

What’s New: Yes, they’re really going with that grille. Make peace with it, because BMW isn’t backing down. Behind it, the 4 Series will be nearly identical mechanically to the 3 Series. For the U.S., this means turbocharged gasoline four- and six-cylinder inline engines with eight-speed automatic transmissions and rear- or all-wheel drive. The M4 is expected to use the new twin-turbo inline-six from the X3 M. The manual transmission is likely dead for this market.

What’s Not: Body styles are expected to remain the same: coupe, convertible, and four-door Gran Coupe hatchback.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $45,000-$70,000 (est)

Acura TLX

(Read our First Look at the 2021 Acura TLX here)

What’s New: The TLX has been completely revamped for 2021 and gone back to its roots as a proper sport sedan. Now built on an exclusive platform, it features a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 272 hp and 280 lb-ft standard. It drives a 10-speed automatic and the front or all four wheels with Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). The Type S model returns after a hiatus with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6, which we expect to make at least 350 hp. It, too, uses the 10-speed and comes with SH-AWD standard. The brakes and suspension, meanwhile, have been redesigned for sportier driving. Inside, it’s an evolution of Acura’s latest design seen previously in the RDX crossover.

What’s Not: Despite its more cab-rearward proportions, the Acura TLX will continue to ride on a front-drive-based platform, though it’s now an exclusive platform.

When: Fall 2020 (base, Spring 2021 for Type S)

How Much: $35,000 (est)

Jaguar XJ

(Read our deep dive on the upcoming Jaguar XJ EV here)

What’s New: The very last Jaguar XJ sedan powered by an internal combustion engine rolled off the line in July 2019, ending 51 years of continuous production of the iconic nameplate. Replacing it is an all-new, all-electric Jaguar flagship that will be a more conventionally styled car than the company’s groundbreaking I-Pace, with a low-slung sedan profile, though it will have a large rear hatch instead of a conventional trunk. The new car won’t share its underpinnings with the I-Pace, either, but will be built on Jaguar’s new Modular Longitudinal Architecture, which is designed to accommodate mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains in addition to a BEV powertrain. Top-spec models are said to be equipped with a 100-kW-hr battery and four motors developing a total of 800 hp.

What’s Not: Everything else is new, but Jaguar’s flagship retains the XJ name.

When: 2021

How Much: $90,000 (est)

Toyota Mirai

(Read our First Look at the 2021 Toyota Mirai here)

What’s New: Every beautiful inch of this car is thoroughly (and thoughtfully) reimagined and designed (a word that scarcely applied to its predecessor) to appeal to a vastly broader audience and command a higher price tag. Longer, lower, and wider (by about 3 inches each), it rides on new rear-drive architecture and 20-inch rolling stock. We’re promised unprecedented driving dynamics apropos of the Lexus-look four-door-coupe styling. Expect a quieter cabin, a 12.3-inch infotainment system, a 14-speaker JBL sound system, and comfortable seating for five. Slicker aerodynamics, improvements in efficiency of the next-gen fuel cell stack, and a larger hydrogen tank will extend the driving range of this bigger, faster, better-handling car to about 400 miles.

What’s Not: The name, which means “future” in Japanese.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $60,000 (est)

Future Cars: What’s NEXT

They may be out of favor right now, but traditional three-box cars will never go away. To make sure, automakers around the world are pouring enormous resources into design and engineering to keep sedans, coupes, and convertibles as interesting and as compelling as possible. Whether they’re built for fun, luxury, a bit of both, or just to get you where you need to go, the cars of the near future will offer more style and technology than ever as they try to woo you away from joining the SUV herd.

Cadillac Celestiq

(Read our deep dive on the upcoming Cadillac Celestiq here)

What’s New: The Celestiq is a massive four-door, four-passenger, full-size electric car with big wheels and a hatch instead of a trunk. It will be a hand-built grand tourer with tons of executive-style space in the very wide back seat. A tinted glass roof extends from the windshield to the rear hatch. Each bespoke sedan will have rich detailing such as flower petals embedded int the acrylic décor. The Celestiq rides on GM’s new BEV3 dedicated electric vehicle architecture, which uses fast-charging Ultium batteries, placed under the floor.

What’s Not: Design takes some cues from the Cadillac Escala concept. Banner technology such as Super Cruise will likely be standard.

When: 2022

How much: $200,000 (est)

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

(Read our deep dive on the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S-Class here)

What’s New: Code-named W223, the new S-Class is a major redesign of the flagship Mercedes sedan. The exterior features taut, elegant surfacing, a long dash-to-axle ratio, and a more rakish C-pillar. Up front, high-tech digital headlights flank a new grille. The lavish new interior features a dramatic dash design and two screens; the horizontal one in front of the driver is similar to the one used in the current S-Class, and a Tesla-sized vertical screen extends upward from the center console. Powertrains will include the recently launched 3.0-liter straight-six and the AMG-developed 4.0-liter V-8—both featuring a 48-volt mild hybrid system—and there will be a plug-in hybrid version. The new S-Class will also boast Level 3 autonomous capability.

What’s Not: Of course there’s a Mercedes-AMG version in the wings. Expect a big-horsepower version of the 4.0-liter V-8, all-wheel drive, and available carbon-fiber trim inside.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $95,000 (est)

Hyundai Prophecy Concept

(Read our First Look at the Hyundai Prophecy Concept here)

What’s New: As its description implies, this is a concept car—and a design you’ll never drive. Evidence? Its steering wheel has been replaced by twin joysticks, a perennial dream car crowd-pleaser. However, note that its name is Prophecy—and we suspect that’s no random choice. It’s a concept, yes, but also a shape that could very likely predict that of a future battery-electric production version. Most notably, Hyundai’s designers have gone to great lengths to minimize aero drag to maximize its range. For instance, note its strikingly Model 3-like nose (except for its multipoint “Pixel” headlights) and that carefully swept-back tail to keep airflow attached as long as possible. Don’t be surprised to see this shape someday sitting atop the skateboard platform created by EV startup and Hyundai partner Canoo.

What’s Not: Being a concept car, the Prophecy was penned on a clean piece of paper.

When: N/A

How Much: N/A

Lexus IS

(Read our deep dive on the new Lexus IS here)

What’s New: The IS is a midcycle refresh of Lexus’ entry-level sedan, last revised in 2016. Although the outside will certainly look different, with more LS-inspired styling, the IS’ underpinnings will be the same, albeit with revised suspension tuning and an improved chassis. The interior will be updated to reflect current design language, as well. Because this isn’t a wheels-up redesign, some elements will be familiar, but changes to the dashboard and infotainment setups will give the IS a fresh look inside.

What’s Not: We expect the powertrains to remain the same. That means a 2.0-liter I-4 making 241 hp in the base model, a 3.5-liter V-6 making 260 hp in AWD versions, and an uprated 3.5-liter V-6 making 311 hp in pricier trims.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $40,000 (est)

Subaru WRX And WRX STI

What’s New: Subaru’s aging WRX and WRX STI high-performance sedans move to the scalable Subaru Global Platform. Despite the cars’ new underpinnings and redesigned bodywork, the two rally-inspired sedans evolve the formula of past WRX and WRX STI models by maintaining staple features such as standard all-wheel drive and a powerful turbocharged flat-four engine. Look for the run-of-the-mill WRX to trade the current car’s 268-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder for a larger, slightly more powerful 2.4-liter unit that mates to either a six-speed manual gearbox or an available CVT. The big-winged, stick-shift-only WRX STI, meanwhile, is due to feature a nearly 400-hp variant of its sibling’s 2.4-liter four-pot.

What’s Not: Both the platform and the basic engine already underpin several other Subaru products.

When: Early 2021

How Much: $30,000 (est)

Toyota GR86

(Read our deep dive on the next Toyota 86 here)

What’s New: Toyota and Subaru are making big changes for the second coming of the co-developed Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ. A new powerplant will steal the most headlines, likely the 2.4-liter turbocharged unit that makes 260 hp and 277 lb-ft in the Subaru Ascent—that would have the upcoming two-door making 55 hp and 122 lb-ft (!) more than the current Toyobaru. The replacement 86 will be rebranded as the GR86, similar to the GR Supra, to strengthen Toyota’s Gazoo Racing performance arm. Toyota is expected to supply the underpinnings for the new coupes, likely a version of the automaker’s modular TNGA platform.

What’s Not: Although it hasn’t been confirmed, we’re praying these two will retain a manual gearbox option.

When: Summer 2021

How Much: $30,000 (est)

Mazda6

What’s New: Mazda has blown up the 6 rulebook. Front-drive four-cylinder? Forget it. The next 6 will be rear-drive and powered by an all-new inline-six with Skyactiv-X spark-controlled compression ignition and a supercharger. An all-new eight-speed automatic backs up the engine, and Mazda’s i-Activ all-wheel drive will be offered. Although this powertrain will be first out the door, recent patents show Mazda is working on electrification ideas, including an electric motor mounted on the gas engine with additional in-wheel electric motors.

What’s Not: The design of the new 6 may be hiding in plain sight, previewed by the Vision Coupe Concept shown here (which is actually a sedan, or four-door coupe in modern marketing speak).

When: 2022

How Much: $28,000 (est)

BMW I4

(Read our First Look at the BMW i4 Concept here)

What’s New: The i4 is BMW’s first stab at a midsize EV, and its first job is to take the fight to the Tesla Model 3. Everything from the massive kidney grill to the funky rear taillights will be new. BMW says it will have an EPA-estimated range of 270 miles on a full charge and will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds. The i4 will also be ready to (mostly) drive itself with radar, lidar, and other sensors hiding behind those inflamed kidneys. It’ll seat up to four, feature BMW’s swoopy Gran Coupe fastback styling, and be the first car to wear BMW’s redesigned logo.

What’s Not: BMW’s i and M brands still aren’t combining their efforts, so no performance models.

When: Early 2022

How Much: $55,000 (est)

Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

(Read our exclusive deep drive on the upcoming Mercedes-Benz SL-Class here)

What’s New: Having drifted far from its Super-Leicht roots, the completely redesigned SL is starting over as an AMG, built on the next generation of the performance brand’s exclusive sports car platform under the GT S, GT C, and GT R supercars. Differentiating itself, the SL will get a folding hard-top convertible roof and 2+2 seating, straddling the divide between the AMG GT roadster and the dying S-Class Cabriolet.

What’s Not: A slew of AMG engines are lined up for duty, from turbocharged and mild hybrid inline-fours and -sixes to twin-turbocharged and mild hybrid V-8s. Both rear- and 4Matic+ all-wheel drive will be offered, indicating a nine-speed automatic rather than the GT’s racy dual-clutch.

When: Late 2021

How Much: $100,000 (est)

Lucid Air

(Read our exclusive interview with the CEO of Lucid Motors here)

What’s New: Coming from much of the brain trust that created the Tesla Model S and every battery used in Formula E, the Lucid Air is in many ways the now-aging Model S’ spiritual successor. The car is a technology powerhouse, initially with 1,000 hp (and potentially 1,200 hp) from its dual electric motors—with a three-motor version in the plans. A key advance is its motors’ operation at a soaring 900 volts, miniaturizing the drivetrain. The result is unexpected passenger room inside, cloaked in a sublime shape penned by ex-Mazda design chief Derek Jenkins.

What’s Not: As Lucid’s from-the-ground-up first offering, it shares nothing with anything before it.

When: Fall 2021

How Much: $60,000 (est)

Mercedes-Benz EQS

(Read our First Look at the Mercedes-Benz EQS Concept here)

What’s New: The EQS is the first of four mid- to large-sized electric vehicles—two cars and two SUVs—scheduled to come off Daimler’s new modular BEV architecture. As the name suggests, this is intended to be the electric equivalent of an S-Class and is roughly the same overall size as the current flagship Mercedes sedan. Despite a sporty roofline inspired by the CLS and AMG GT 4-Door, the BEV architecture follows the familiar skateboard format with a central underfloor battery pack and motors at each axle, which affords significantly more room for passengers and their stuff. The dramatic interior features a full-width screen spanning the dash and extending down to the center console.

What’s Not: Assorted pieces of suspension and brake hardware. The flush door handles and next-gen MBUX system will be shared with the new W223 S-Class.

When: 2021

How Much: $110,000 (est)

Audi TT E-Tron

(Read our deep dive on the upcoming Audi TT E-Tron here)

What’s New: Audi’s shifting priorities killed off the TT as we know it, but the iconic coupe will live on in spirit with battery power. Although Audi and Porsche are working on the PPE platform for large premium EVs and the Taycan’s J1 platform will support Porsche electric sports cars, Volkswagen’s MEB platform will underpin the TT E-Tron. MEB’s dual-motor capability will provide Quattro electric all-wheel drive. As before, the TT EV will have snazzy styling, a practical hatchback, and a drop-top variant.

What’s Not: Like its combustion forebear, the Audi TT E-Tron will share parts with common Volkswagens from the MEB platform.

Future Trucks and Vans: What’s NOW

Pickup trucks are still the best-selling vehicles in America. Millions and millions sell every year, for moving furniture, hauling construction gear, or towing your boat to the river. Throw in higher profit margins than SUVs or cars, and you have a vehicle segment the automakers will always covet and want to expand. A ton (or half-ton) of redesigned trucks have hit the market in the past few years, but there are still more to come in this highly competitive segment.

Meanwhile, minivans may still be fighting to shed their image of parental capitulation, but it’s a fiercely fought segment all the same. We may not be buying as many crumb cruncher carriers as we used to, but when we do, we want them to be the absolute pinnacle of family transportation. So work continues to make them more comfortable, more functional, and more kid-friendly than ever.

Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon

(Read our coverage of the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado here)

What’s New: Updated exterior designs are in store for the refreshed trucks. The Colorado’s previous base trim has been discontinued, making the Work Truck the new entry model and raising the truck’s starting price. On the Canyon, the AT4 trim replaces the All Terrain, and the Denali receives minor updates, including a new grille design and interior color theme.

What’s Not: Mechanical bits stay the same. Engine options will continue to include a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, a 3.6-liter V-6, and a 2.8-liter turbodiesel.

When: Late Spring 2020

How Much: $26,395

Toyota Sienna

(Read our First Look at the 2021 Toyota Sienna here)

What’s New: The 2021 Toyota Sienna marks the model’s first redesign in a decade. Resting on a variant of the Toyota New Global Architecture TNGA-K platform that also underpins the likes of the Toyota Camry sedan and Highlander crossover SUV, the fourth-generation Sienna trades its predecessor’s upright styling and 296-horsepower V-6 engine for lower-slung looks and a standard hybrid powertrain that relies on a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors to produce 243 hp. A third motor mounts to the rear axle on all-wheel-drive models. Yep, it’s hybrid only, which will mean 33 mpg fuel economy in the combined cycle, better than the Chrysler Pacifica minivan, and far better than the gas-only minivan pack. Standard safety and convenience items include automatic front braking with pedestrian protection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and lane centering. Along with its polarizingly muscular styling, the latest Sienna welcomes available niceties like a vacuum cleaner, a refrigerator, kick-activated sliding doors, and second-row “Super Long Slide” bucket seats with 25 inches of fore-and-aft travel.

What’s Not: Save for its name and minivan body style, the 2021 Sienna shares little else with its forebear.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $35,000 (est.)

Chrysler Pacifica

(Read our First Look at the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica here)

What’s New: A new all-wheel-drive option, Pinnacle trim level, front and rear styling revisions, and a major upgrade to the speed and capability of the Uconnect system highlight this midcycle refresh. Available only on gas models, the AWD system preserves Stow ‘N Go seating and can idle the driveshaft to save fuel. Pinnacle models get opulent quilted leather seats and pillows, a suede headliner, and platinum chrome exterior trim. Uconnect 5.0 is five times faster and features Alexa integration plus a higher-resolution 10.1-inch screen that can mirror two Android or Apple phones.

What’s Not: The powertrains remain the same, as does styling on lower-spec Voyager models, which replace the Dodge Grand Caravan.

When: Fall 2020

How Much: $35,500-$52,000 (est)

Honda Odyssey

(Read our First Look at the 2021 Honda Odyssey here)

What’s New: You’ll see numerous safety, technology, and design upgrades. With a redesigned front fascia, grille, and new housings for the foglights, the Odyssey is receiving a pretty extensive midcycle upgrade. The second-row seats can now fold flat (a packaging boo-boo now fixed), allowing more room for larger objects. The Odyssey is also getting a new rear-seat reminder that works with the CabinWatch camera to alert drivers what still resides behind them when they turn off the engine. As with all recently updated Hondas, Honda Sensing is standard on all 2021 Odysseys.

What’s Not: The engine, platform, and infotainment system are the same. All Odysseys will continue to be powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 with 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic will continue to sFuture Trucks and Minivans coming soon concept carsend power to the front wheels.

When: Fall 2020

How Much: $33,000 (est)

Future Trucks: What’s NEXT

Trucks are the best-selling vehicles in America, and we don’t expect that to change any time soon, certainly not before these trucks of the future become the trucks of today. From electric trucks with monster power and zero emissions to small trucks that fit in your garage to a total rethink of what a pickup can be, there will be a lot of ways to move your friends’ furniture in the years to come.

Tesla Cybertruck

(Read our complete coverage of the Tesla Cybertruck here)

What’s New: Tesla’s take on the pickup truck is more than just its stealth-bomber styling. Its sheetmetal is 3mm-thick unpainted stainless steel that’s bent into shape, instead of stamped as with traditional trucks. Its F-150-sized frame has a front and rear trunk, a 6.5-foot bed, and built-in storage in its bed buttresses. Inside are two rows of bench seats with seating for six. Tesla says the Cybertruck can travel up to 500 miles on a charge when packaged with a new “double-stacked” battery.

What’s Not: Its motors—it’s available with single-motor rear drive, dual-motor all-wheel drive, and tri-motor all-wheel drive—are borrowed from the Model S (with the latter setup making around 800 horsepower and 1,000 lb-ft of torque). The Cybertruck’s air suspension, which is both load-leveling and capable of tilting the back toward the ground so you can drive ATVs directly into the bed, comes from the Model X. From the Model 3 and Model Y, the Cybertruck gets Tesla’s familiar horizontal tablet infotainment setup.

When: Early 2022

How Much: $39,900 (single-motor); $49,900 (dual-motor); $69,900 (tri-motor)

GMC Hummer SUT and SUV

(Read our deep dive on the all-new GMC Hummer truck and SUV here)

What’s New: General Motors brings back the Hummer name on a GMC full-size electric pickup it calls an SUT (sport utility truck), to be followed by an electric SUV. Both Hummers will be intimidating: squared-off and boxy with short overhangs and upright windshields, available in short- and long-wheelbase configurations, with an adjustable independent air suspension, giant off-road tires, rugged running boards, and a removable targa top that can be stored in the frunk (front trunk). They ride on GM’s BEV3 dedicated electric vehicle architecture with up to three drive motors (AWD) and Ultium fast-charging batteries in a choice of pack sizes in the floor. The most powerful will provide up to 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of axle torque. Inside is an upright 15-inch touchscreen, beefy steering wheel, and huge gearshift.

What’s Not: Some Hummer design DNA.

When: Fall 2021

How Much: $70,000 (est)

Ram Dakota

What’s New: The decision to bring back the Dakota after a decade off is largely in response to positive reception of the Chevrolet Colorado, the return of the Ford Ranger, and the continued success of the Toyota Tacoma. It will likely feature a scaled-down version of the design language seen on the Ram 1500 and a similar interior design, complete with a large tablet-style touchscreen display. Expect it to feature gas and diesel options, as well as a possible hybrid powertrains.

What’s Not: Powertrains will almost certainly be borrowed from the larger Ram 1500.

When: 2021

How Much: $21,500-$45,000 (est)

Ford F-150

(Read our deep dive on the new F-150 here)

What’s New: It’s easy to focus on the new front end and a mix of styling cues from the recently refreshed Super Duty trucks and the next-generation Ranger. But the real changes are deeper. A new platform supports a hybrid powertrain with a 3.5-liter gasoline V-6 and electric motors, as well as an all-electric model expected after the standard trucks go on sale. All current engines continue, with updates expected to the diesel V-6 and the gas V-8. An updated dashboard gets an all-digital instrument cluster and an enormous touchscreen infotainment system on higher trims.

What’s Not: Aside from the new front end and taillights, bodywork is basically the same. Most powertrains carry over, each using the 10-speed automatic.

When: Late 2020

How Much: $30,000-$70,000

Chevrolet Silverado EV

What’s New: General Motors has confirmed there will be a fullsize electric pickup for Chevrolet, but it might not be called the Silverado and the timeframe is not being disclosed. The Chevy will use using GM’s BEV3 dedicated electric vehicle architecture and Ultium fast-charging batteries. Like the GMC Hummer SUT electric sport utility pickup, it could offer different numbers of electric motors and assorted sizes of battery packs to offer base models as well as additional performance and capability. One concept has an 18-inch touchscreen inside a High Country trim level with lots of brown leather.

What’s Not: No carryover from current Silverado, not even the name.

When: 2025

How Much: $60,000 (est)

Ford Courier/Maverick

(Read our deep dive on the upcoming Ford Courier here)

What’s New: Ford is adding a compact unibody pickup truck to the lineup based on the same platform underpinning the Focus and Fiesta, which are no longer sold in the U.S. Rumored to be named Courier, the trucklet fills the gap left by the cancelled Focus Active crossover. Unlike the Brazilian-built Courier sold in other markets, the new small Ford truck will look the part, taking cues from the next Ranger and new Bronco Sport. Drivetrain options will likely include a range of four-cylinder engines and perhaps even Ford’s EcoBoost turbocharged three-cylinder.

What’s Not: The name. If Ford does go with the Courier moniker, it would revive a nameplate last used on a badge-engineered Mazda pickup in the 1970s. An alternate choice, Maverick (also from the ’70s, but on a coupe) has also been posited.

When: 2021

How Much: $20,000 (est)

The 4 Best Muscle Cars of 2020

With a new decade comes new American muscle. Check out this guide for the 4 best muscle cars of 2020.

The Ford Mustang dominated muscle car sales last year, with a total of 72,489 sold. 2020 is a brand new year, and you have options. While the Ford Mustang is impressive, Chevy and Dodge have stepped their game up.

Check out this list of the best muscle cars on the market for 2020. 

Chevrolet Camaro

The Camaro is thrilling to drive with excellent handling and a comfortable ride. It comes with several engine options, comfy front seats, and an intuitive infotainment system.

New for the 2020 models is an LT1 trim and an optional 10-speed automatic transmission for the V6 engine.

Performance 

The Camaro isn’t short on power with the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that comes standard. It produces 275 horsepower. If this isn’t enough, there are three available engines.

335-horsepower V6

455-horsepower V8

455-horsepower V8

If you’re concerned about fuel economy, then you’ll want to opt for the standard engine. The mpg goes down as you go up in engine size.

Interior 

While the interior isn’t as luxurious as other muscle cars on this list, it’s still impressive. It seats four, though there’s distinctly more room in the front than the back.

When it comes to technology, there’s an intuitive 7-inch touchscreen that lets you navigate the Infotainment 3 system. There are plenty of features to keep you comfortable.

Six-speaker audio system

Wi-Fi hot spot

Two USB ports

Bluetooth

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Models 

There are two body styles and eight different trims to choose from 1LS, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, LT1, 1SS, 2SS, and ZL1. All trims come in the coupe body style, but you can upgrade all except the base model to the convertible body style.

If you’re struggling to pick a trim level, it helps to choose your engine first. This will narrow down your trim level options.

Ford Mustang 

Not resting on their laurels, Ford is adding a Shelby GT500 model, optional high-performance package, EcoBoost Handling package, and FordPass Connect standard. The Mustang is so popular because of the wide variety of engine options, exciting handling, and quality materials in the cabin.

Performance 

Four engines come in the Mustang. The base model comes with a turbocharged 2.3-liter engine. It only gives you 310 horsepower. For more performance, go with the 5-liter V8 that produces 460 horsepower.

Then there are the specialty models, the Bullitt with 480 hp, Shelby GT350 with 526 hp, and the Shelby GT500 with 760 hp.

Interior 

Ford configures the interior of the Mustang to stay true to its roots with its 2+2 configuration for the seats. The two front seats have plenty of room, while the back seats are small and cramped.

When it comes to features, you’ll need to choose a higher level trim. The base model lacks with just the SYNC system and a small display that come standard.

Models 

There are four main trim levels for you to choose from; EcoBoost (or base), EcoBoost Premium, GT, and GT Premium. Then you can also choose between the fastback coupe and convertible body styles.

If performance is your priority, then check out the Bullitt, GT500, and the GT 350. These models have the V8 engine and are designed to perform at the top of its class.

Dodge Challenger 

The 2020 dodge challenger has a new offerings for 2020 with new interior and exterior styling options. These new looks are paired with a large trunk, spacious interior, and powerful engines.

Performance 

There are five different engines to choose from for your Challenger, which is almost too many. They range from the 305 horsepower V6 to the 797 horsepower V8. While the fuel economy ratings aren’t out yet for the Challenger, it’s safe to say that the larger and faster options aren’t going to deliver on fuel economy.

Interior 

Unlike other coupes, the Challenger has spacious front seats and plenty of legroom for the rear seats. The materials Dodge used are respectable, though not top of the line.

You’ll have plenty of features with the 7-inch touchscreen and UConnect 4 infotainment system. It comes with several other modern features.

Six-speaker audio system

Bluetooth

Two USB ports

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Models 

There are six different trim models for you to choose from, the SXT, GT, R/T, R/T Scat Pack, SRT Hellcat, and SRT Hellcat Redeye. If you’re looking for serious performance, then you need to start at the R/T trim levels for a V8 engine. For some serious performance, though, Choose one of the Hellcat trims that have track level performance specs.

Dodge Charger 

If you’re looking for refined handling, a powerful engine, and user-friendly technology, then the Charger is the muscle car for you. The V6 and V8 engines are sure to impress while the interior is comfortable and roomy.

Keep an eye out for the Scat Pack and Widebody SRT Hellcat models as they are new this year.

Performance 

Standard under the Charger hood is a 3.6-liter V6 engine that pumps out 300 horsepower. If this isn’t enough, consider the V8 option that jumps the horsepower up to 370. Then there’s the Scat Pack engine that’s a mind-blowing 6.4-liter V8 that produces a head-spinning 485 horsepower.

If even that isn’t enough, then you need the Hellcat. Aptly named, it’s 6.2-liter V8 pumps out 707 horsepower. Prepare to go from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds.

Interior 

This muscle car has room for everyone with five spacious seats. While other vehicles on this list focus on the front passengers, three adults can comfortably sit in the back seat of the Charger.

While the interior is comfortable, it isn’t the most modern or luxurious feeling. It can even feel a bit dated.

You won’t be disappointed by the included technology. There’s a 7-inch touchscreen that lets you navigate Dodge’s Uconnect infotainment system. Plus, there are plenty of other standard features.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Six speaker stereo

Satellite radio

Bluetooth

Two USB ports

Models 

There are seven different trim levels for you to choose from, including the SXT, GT, R/T, Scat Pack, Scat Pack Widebody, SRT Hellcat Widebody, and Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition. If you’re craving performance, then look at the R/T trim level or higher.

If you’re looking for an everyday driver with comfort, then the GT or SXT models are the smarter choices.

Buy Only the Best Muscle Cars

So which one of the best muscle cars speaks to your inner speed demon? American muscle cars have been around for decades, but the new 2020 models prove that they are anything but old.

【Škoda】Scala 亞洲首發，Karoq Sportline 優惠價 149.9 萬元起接單開跑

舞台的另一款要角，則是旗艦房車 Superb 的小改款更新。預計 2020 年第二季推出的小改款 Superb ，透過更立體的水箱護罩以及 LED 燈組的導入，建構更具科技感且更為氣派的產品樣貌，車尾也改用品牌字母排列的方式作為品牌識別，追上 Škoda 新世代產品共通的設計元素。小改款後，改以 1.5 TSI 以及 2.0 TSI 兩款引擎取代過去 1.4 TSI 、 1.8 TSI 以及 2.0 TSI 所組成的動力編成，不過其他產品細節，則仍需等待上市前夕才能確認。

現階段扮演 Škoda 入門休旅角色的 Karoq ，則是藉由車展的機會推出 Karoq Sportline 運動化調校車型，除了黑化的外觀細節與跑車化的內、外觀套件，更換上具有 190 匹馬力輸出的 2.0 TSI 引擎，搭配濕式雙離合器設計的 7 速 DSG 變速箱與全時四輪驅動系統，並把後懸吊改為多連桿設計，具有 0-100km/h 加速 7.1 秒的性能表現以及更出色的操控實力。 Škoda Taiwan 表示， Karoq Sportline 將開出 156.9 萬元的價格，車展期間則是以 149.9 萬元的優惠價接受消費者訂購。

不僅有運動化調校的車型， Škoda 更把達成 WRC2 連續五連霸的冠軍賽車 Fabia R5 運抵台灣，而且來到 2020 年世界新車大展的，還是首度在亞洲亮相的 Fabia R5 Evo 賽車，透過 Fabia R5 的優異表現，搭配結合虛擬實境的虛擬人偶與真人搭配表演，展現 Škoda 的精湛造車工藝與科技實力。除此之外， Škoda Taiwan 也為車主開闢專屬休息區，只應憑 Škoda 車鑰匙就能進入，展現 Škoda 的體貼。

【Subaru】Forester GT Edition 首度亮相台北車展

日前 2GameSome 新加坡搶先直擊的 Subaru Forester GT Edition，這次也登場台北車展，將搭載於 2020 年式並於 2020 年到港之 Forester 全車型之上，並在車展期間搶先展開預售接單，接單價依各車型為 Forester 2.0i-L 建議售價 110 萬元、Forester 2.0i-L EyeSight 為 116.8 萬元、Forester 2.0i-S 為 116.8 萬元、Forester 2.0i-S EyeSight 為 126.8 萬元。

【Volkswagen】新識別，新氣象， Volkswagen 揭示全新品牌價值

雖然主題新車是先前就已發表的 T-Cross ，但 Volkswagen 將今年 IAA 法蘭克福車展的規格完整移植至 2020 世界新車大展，不僅是展區規劃以及休息洽談區的設置，更是亞洲第二個引入  Volkswagen 全新品牌識別的國家。不但改用全平面設計的廠徽，並導入更多顏色變化的廠徽底色，展現更具活潑、彈性，也更無框架的性格，並且具有更為單純、友善的視覺感受。除此之外，廣告末端的傳統男性聲音，也從此改由溫暖、愉快且自信的女性聲音取代，象徵 Volkswagen 不再只是冷冽的機械產品。並把光的運用視為是重點，不僅是背景光的使用，發光的廠徽以及線條也將是未來 Volkswagen 產品的一大特色，這樣的使用，與聲音以及品牌識別的改變相同，主要目的在於傳達活力且親民的形象。同時，更藉由揭示品牌識別的機會，傳遞由安全科技（Safe Choice）、創新服務（Always Up-to-date）及駕控樂趣（Human Excitement） 組成的品牌核心價值。

除了全新品牌識別，車展期間每個假日，包括 12/28 、 12/29 、 1/1 、 1/4 、 1/5 等五天邀請知名 DJ 於主舞台進行熱力四射的電子音樂表演，利用 Golf R 引擎聲浪、 Tiguan 關門聲、 T-Cross 喇叭聲等 Volkswagen 旗下車款的聲音元素進行音樂創作，感受 Volkswagen 品牌的多元魅力。

【福斯商旅】#VanLife 生活態度展現，商用車不只能商用，更是自在生活的價值

比起一般強調多元使用機能的乘用車產品，單純、簡單的商用車，或許才是最能展現個人生活態度以及個性的車款，因為它的簡單與友善的入手價格，讓他極為容易成為打造個人座駕甚至是生活伙伴的基礎。雖然旗下已經有 California 露營車，能夠實現說走就走的自在生活。但福斯商旅決定更進一步推廣 #VanLife 的生活理念，強調旗下包括 Caddy Van 等商用車產品，也是能透過自由的改裝，化身為自在生活的夥伴。透過 Caddy Van 行動露營概念車以及 Caddy Van 行動扭蛋車，傳達 Caddy Van 既可商用也可露營的多元面貌，並透過 VanLife 心得座談等方式，推廣 VanLife 的生活態度。同時，也邀請知名球星彭政閔於 12/31 日前往展區舉辦見面會，搭配 DJ 皮卡派對的每日舉行，還有全新的品牌識別，打造全新的福斯商旅形象。

【Volvo】啟動新能源元年！主打 PHEV 車型

Volvo 今年以小改款 XC90 搭配 XC60 T8 Polestar Engineered 作為展演核心，輔以全車系共計 20 部車款打造豪華展出陣容。XC60 T8 Polestar Engineered 即日起正式在台上市，2020 年式車型建議售價 319 萬元。

CarGurus: Our Automotive Highlights of 2019

Few could argue that 2019 has been a fascinating year in the world of motoring – but what are your automotive highlights of 2019? We’d love for you to tell us in the comments section below this article, or via the CarGurus Facebook page. To get you started, below our writers have put forward their own automotive highlights of 2019, from pickups to Porsches.

Chris Knapman, Editor, CarGurus UK

Will time show that 2019 was the year the electric car broke through? There’s certainly been no shortage of new products using battery power, from the Porsche Taycan and latest Nissan Leaf to the impossible-to-ignore Tesla Cybertruck.

Combine these new cars with an improving charging infrastructure and you’d expect the tide of public opinion might start showing signs of softening towards EVs. That was certainly the case according to our own research, which revealed that the number of consumers who consider themselves as likely to own an EV in the next five years jumped to 26% in 2019, up from 15% in 2018. This is most likely just the start, too: Who would bet against that number having grown significantly by this time next year?

Back in the world of internal combustion, my honorable mention for 2019 must go to the latest generation of Porsche 911, the 992. Not only does it masterfully update the legendary 911 format for this hi-tech age with its fabulous interior and ultra-sleek exterior, but in terms of performance, the 992 moves even the basic, non-GT or Turbo models firmly into supercar territory. In fact, if I had to narrow down my automotive highlights of 2019 into just one, fleeting moment, it’d be the surreal three-point-something seconds it took our four-wheel drive, PDK-equipped 911 test car to fire from 0-62 mph.

Electric vehicles might be coming, but internal combustion is still more than capable of taking your breath away.

Megan Hennessey, Editor, CarGurus US

I’m struck by the number of performance wagons and SUVs we saw introduced in 2019. Fans of the Audi S4 Avant rejoiced when the German automaker revealed it was bringing its RS 6 Avant to North America. It packs a 4.0-liter V8 that makes 591 hp and 590 lb-ft, hits 60 mph in about 3 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 189 mph.

Just as exciting was the introduction of the RS Q8, a performance SUV packing the same power as the RS 6 Avant. We had a chance to take a closer look at the 2020 RS Q8 at the 2019 LA Auto Show, and it adds plenty of features aside from the engine, like 23-inch wheels and an RS-specific gloss-black grille.

And in the EV space, electric trucks took center stage: Bollinger brought us a production-ready version of its B2 electric truck, Tesla unveiled its unique Cybertruck, and Rivian gets closer to its production-ready model of the R1T. But are truck shoppers willing to make the switch from gas-powered to electric? It’s hard to say. In our yearly Truck Sentiment Survey, we found that 70% of shoppers were willing to switch brands, which is good news for these startup truckmakers. However, their high prices may keep shoppers away.

Steve Halloran, Editor, CarGurus US

With one colleague celebrating electric vehicles and another performance wagons and SUVs, I feel obliged to mention one 2019 highlight they didn’t: Ford’s live-streamed debut of the 2021 Mustang Mach-E just before the LA Auto Show. Ford’s decision to put the name and badge of its mighty Mustang on an electric crossover generated controversy, of course, but a pony-equipped vehicle with up to 300 miles of range, usable seating for 5, almost 60 cubic feet of cargo room, and a 0-to-60 time of less than 4 seconds sounds great to me.

But my 2019 highlights came from two automakers CarGurus has found compelling for years, Mazda and Subaru, in the form of strong new versions of proven models. The redesigned 2019 Mazda3 earned rave reviews from almost everyone who drove it, including George Kennedy, and the updated 2019 CX-5, which we sampled in the snow at the end of last year, also earned praise from a wide variety of reviewers.

A new version of our favorite Subaru model also arrived in 2019. We got a chance to drive the 2020 Subaru Outback back in September and enjoyed it quite a bit. The new edition of this wagon/crossover finally offers a turbocharged engine under its hood, which drivers living at high altitudes should particularly appreciate. Our recently published review of the 2020 Outback found it strong from functionality and cost-effectiveness standpoints, which we consider hallmarks of the Subaru brand.

Matt Smith, Editor, CarGurus US

This time of year, everyone’s talking about electrification and progress and the hot new thing. But as anyone with their eyes open can clearly see, 2019 was the year of the throwback.

First, Chevy resurrected the Blazer as a stylish, sharp, and sexy crossover complete with nearly $1,400 worth of 21-inch tires. Sure, the new 2019 Blazer had its detractors, namely those bemoaning its lack of off-road performance, but I, for one, welcome our new crossover overlords.

And it’s not as if 2019 didn’t bring us plenty of rugged capability, either. Carrying on with the throwback theme, both Ford and Jeep returned legendary truck nameplates to the market, with the 2019 Ranger and 2020 Gladiator.

Finally, the highlight of the year for this writer was the long-awaited return of the Toyota Supra. Partnering with BMW gave the new coupe a brilliant Bavarian heart and soul (or engine and chassis, for our more literal readers) to pair with its stunning exterior styling. Sure, the 2020 GR Supra’s interior might feel a bit familiar, and the lack of a manual transmission will cut it off some enthusiasts’ shopping lists, but it’s safe to say that no other car on CarGurus’ 2019 test-drive review roster received as much attention at gas stations, grocery stores, race tracks, or anywhere else we drove it.
