With wild new sensors and radars, these cars are becoming technological powerhouses. If your set of wheels is beginning to disappoint, check out this impressive list of cars coming to yous streets in the coming year.
Toyota Venza
Estimated cost: $30,0002021-Toyota-Venza-Exterior
The Toyota Venza is back again and is sleek as ever. It may not be the greatest off-roader but it sure is an amazing lifestyle vehicle. The car can go up to 40 mpg while offering a standard all-wheel-drive by mounting an electric motor on the back axle.
The combination of the brake torque vectoring and sport-tuned suspension make it a fun and enjoyable drive. There is also the option of the panoramic electro-chromatic glass roof. This little feature can either brighten or darkens with just the push of a button.
Ford Mustang Mach-E
Estimated cost: $44,995
The newest Ford Mustang is essentially a four-door battery-electric SUV. It also looks really nothing like the previous model but is certainly the most powerful model yet at 460-hp. The Mach-E GT will go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds.
It relies on two battery packs to power both its standard rear-axle motor as well as the optional front-axle motor (76-kW-hr Standard Range pack or a 99-kW-hr Extended Range setup.) The car is estimated to have a driving range of 300 miles between charges with a light foot on the pedal.
Genesis GV80
Estimated cost: $49,925
Finally, Genesis released their very first SUV for the new year. The GV80 is not huge, though can seat five people, and in quite a bit of luxury if we might add. This thing features some beautifully diamond-stitched leather upholstery and ash wood trim.
For the U.S., the engine will include a 2.5-liter turbocharged I-4 making 300 hp as well as a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6.
Cadillac Escalade
Estimated cost: $77,500-$102,000
With its 6.2-liter V-8 and I-6 diesel engines, and 10-speed transmission, the steep price is well justified. This machine also comes with some impressively techy features like a 38 inch OLED display screen, AR navigation system, night vision, and more.
There is also a diverse range of colors offered that come decorated with a plethora of different woods and various leather stitchings.
Chevrolet Tahoe
Estimated cost: $52,995-$73,595
There's a lot to write home about this one, but probably the most impressive feature is the independent rear suspension.
The wheelbase has also been extended by 4.1 inches and 1.3 inches.
Ford Bronco Sport
Estimated cost: $30,000
Introducing the new Ford Bronco Sport. AKA the Ford Escape's rougher cousin. Geared for off-road driving, the more compact SUV is unibody and front-wheel-drive based. With that said, Ford still considers it part of the Bronco gang. We can expect to see the new Bronco have 180-hp and 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder as its core engine as well as a 250-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine as an additional option.
Obviously, the all-wheel-drive will come standard.
Nissan Rogue
Be prepared for some amazing styling both interior and exterior wise. This is an expectation that Nissan will have a 2.5-liter inline-four under the hood and potentially even have VC-Turbo inline-four under the hood of the sportier model.
The interior's digital dashboard will be pretty impressive with things like a 9.0-inch infotainment screen.
Volkswagen Tiguan
Estimated cost: $26,000
The refreshed Volkswagen will still be easy to recognize, even with its slightly sportier new nose and flashy LED lighting (front and back.) This global bestseller will be getting a cool upgrade as it borrows the aesthetic from the Atlas Cross Sport.
The racier style give this car the perfect edge.
Alfa Romeo Tonale
Estimated cost: $35,000
We expect the Alfa to have a front-drive based on the option of all-wheel drive with a small SUV build. The Tonale Concept was possibly powered by a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. The 1.3-liter turbo-four in front and Europe-only Jeep Renegade plug-in hybrid, gives us 240 hp in total.
There may be a possibility that Alfa will get the non-hybrid option, presumably a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4.
Audi E-Tron Sportback
Estimated cost: $77,400
With a brand new roof, a tailgate, and redone rear quarter panels, the new E-Tron Sportback has an even stronger presence and a more sporty appearance. Be prepared to benefit from several technological advances, too.
The front motor will now have the ability to disengage under normal driving. In addition, the 95-kW-hr battery's thermal management system will be far more efficient, as well as the battery system. Sign us up!
Kia Sorento
Estimated cost: $30,000
The soon-to-be-released Kia will be completely redesigned with its brand new windswept exterior. Don't worry, the interior wasn't left behind either and will be installed with a large screen and a super sleek control panel.
The new engine will also turn up the fire a little. The A 1.6-liter turbo-four that works together with an electric motor makes 227 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.5-liter turbo-four produces 277 hp and 311 lb-ft.
Volkswagen ID
Estimated cost: $35,000
Finally, a Volkswagen geared to the American market (they haven't always too enthusiastic about hatchbacks.) This will be the first SUV to be released from its all-electric MEB-platform vehicles. The MEB design is inspired by the now-recognizable skateboard platform.
The GTX version will be available in both two motors and an all-wheel drive. The top-end models are also expected to reach 300 miles.
Volvo XC40
Estimated cost:$55,000
The XC40 Recharge marks the debut of Volvo's first-ever all-electric powertrain. The Recharge combines Volvo's Compact Modular Architecture with the XC40. Expect to find a liquid-cooled 78-kW-hr battery pack beneath the floor and a motor on each axle.
Like with all new Volvos, top speed will be limited to 112 mph.
Polestar 2
Estimated cost: $63,000
The up and coming Polestar 2 will is expected to be an all-electric premium four-door sedan that will likely compete with the Tesla Model 3. Reaching 275 miles with an in-floor 78-kW-hr battery, the motors provide a combined output of 400 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque.
There is even an option for a "vegan" interior. The infotainment system runs on Google automotive systems that anticipate the user's needs. Now that's the future.
Fisker Ocean
Estimated cost: $37,499
Henrik Fisker, the designer, and creator for BMW and Aston Martin is back with an eco-friendly, five-passenger EV crossover called the Ocean. This model has it all; 300 miles of range, base 2WD, battery capacity over 80 kW-hr, a 16-inch touchscreen.
Then there are the fun features. A multilink rear suspension, a roll-down hatch window, and even a karaoke display. The Ocean is also built out of recycled materials that have been retrieved from the ocean!
Cadillac Lyriq
Estimated cost: $75,000
This electric midsize crossover with a wide stance, long wheelbase, low roof, and 23-inch wheels looks pretty darn impressive. Cadillac will say goodbye to the traditional grille and will replace it with a new pattern and the iconic crest between the headlights.
The car will be Cadillac's first true EV(electric vehicle) with GM's BEV3 dedicated electric vehicle structure and Ultium fast-charging batteries. Sadly we will have to wait for 2022 for this one.
The Cruise Origin
Estimated cost: $50,000
This electric, boxy, six-seater was developed by Cruise in collaboration with General Motors appears to be quite the 'robotaxi.' The car has two sliding doors, making it very accessible.
It's also super spacious inside. The many features including cameras, radar, sensors, and lidar make human driving decisions almost non-existent. This vehicle will really only be for commercial use and should actually be ready by early 2022.
Jeep Grand Wagoneer
Estimated cost: $45,000
As expected, this baby shines with its off-road capability and has a plug-in hybrid powertrain. We might even see the return of that iconic wood paneling.
You can also look forward to the 3.6-liter V-6 and 5.7-liter V-8. Don't worry, both will likely have emission-reducing motors.
Chevrolet Bolt EUV
Estimated cost: $41,000
Get ready for this larger, more SUV-like Bolt that is exclusively front-drive. Soon to have a 3-inch wheelbase, which makes the back seat a little roomier, overall making the vehicle about 6 inches. It's also going to be the first non-Cadillac to get the hands-free highway driving system AKA Super Cruise.
The push-button gearshift and a button replaced pedal will be great features too.
The Hyundai Vision T Concept
Estimated cost: $100,000
The next generation Tucson embodies a whole new SUV design language. The powertrains include a hybrid and perhaps a sporty N-Line model with the identical 2.5-liter turbo I-4 in the Sonata N-Line.
Predictably the vehicle will also feature plenty of standard driver assistance tools. Oh and some sizeable screens. That is usually a strong point for models like these.
Infiniti QX55
Estimated cost: $40,000
The QX55 is pretty much based on the QX50. In fact, their profiles are basically similar. The rear's steep angle gives it a coupe-like shape. You can expect some enormous Infiniti lettering and logos on the hatch too.
It will probably be powered by the same 2.0-liter variable-compression turbo engine.
Porsche Macan EV
The new Porsche Macan is going to be blowing people away with its electric performance. The price might however have a similar effect on people. It's not exactly mass-market worthy. One slight issue, the MLB platform it runs on wasn't exactly designed for battery drive.
For this reason, the Macan will be built on the PPE structure that provides the base for the Volkswagen Group's premium electric cars.
Volvo XC100
Estimated cost: $85,000
The new Volvo perfectly showcases the brand's capabilities. While the SUV is mechanically very similar to the family-geared next-gen XC90, it will however take a more luxury approach. Look forward to a four-seat arrangement that is fine-tuned to ultimate comfort. The vehicle will also feature autonomous capabilities and distinct Volvo styling.
There are talks of a hybrid XC90, but the XC100 will certainly be electric to showcase the brand's commitment to an eco-friendly future.
Byton M-Byte
Estimated cost: $45,000
The Byton has evolved to become an interactive, technology-filled automobile with incredible performance. The dash-spans 48-inch screen and is simply jaw-dropping, and the swiveling front seats are pretty amazing too.
The company that's based in China-based company is carrying on courageously. For the production, Byton will be collaborating with Electrify America for public charging.
Ferrari Roma
Estimated cost: $230,000
This is the first automobile with the all-new modular vehicle design that will eventually support the next-generations of the Portofino and GTC4Lusso, and even the highly anticipated Ferrari Purosange SUV. The architecture has been designed from the get-go to contain a plug-in hybrid powertrain, though the initial launch will have an 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 take the machine from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.2 seconds.
Honda Civic
Estimated cost: $22,000
historically the Honda Civic has been replaced with a new model every five years, roughly. This is why we are expecting the 11th generation to be entirely rehashed. Look forward to new technological development and more advanced powertrain.
Look forward to new styling and technology and updated powertrains. Taking the popularity of the coupe and hatchback into account, Honda will likely release those styles too, as well as the popular four-door sedan.
Hyundai Elantra
Estimated cost: $19,000
The new Elantra remains to be the flagship of Hyundai's design revolution. This time, it just got a slight face-lift. In typical Hyundai fashion, the new Elantra will be available with a myriad of tech features, such as two 10.3-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and phone-as-key feature. This is the first time that the hybrid model brings a fuel economy of more than 50 mpg.
The N-Line and full-fledged N model will likely follow the Elantra and the hybrid.
Genesis G80
Estimated cost $49,000
GV80 SUV is back with a bang. Now with two new turbocharged engines, (like the GV80) this model offers over 300 hp.
And wait until you see their interior. With its minimalist yet chic design you can sit back and enjoy the incredible infotainment system on a huge 14.5-inch screen.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Estimated cost: $55,000
This is essentially a refreshed version of the current E-Class, with an upgraded grille, bumper, and new LED lights. The 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 has officially been replaced by the 3.0-liter turbocharged mild-hybrid inline-six (still the same 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.) An additional plug-in hybrid E 350e with a powertrain of the 2.0-liter turbo-four now joins the ranks.
The engine which has a similar architecture to the 48-volt mild hybrid system with the new inline-six will arrive as early as the end of this year.
BMW 4
Estimated cost: $45,000-$70,000
Some people might take issue with this new grille, but BMW just wants us to get used to it. It is technically pretty similar to the 3 Series which means the U.S. consumers should expect the following; turbocharged gasoline four- and six-cylinder inline engines with eight-speed automatic transmissions and rear- or all-wheel drive.
Don't expect any manual transmission, this is dead in today's market.
The TLX
Estimated cost: $35,000
This has been completely revamped and now will be featuring a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder which will produce 272 hp and 280 lb-ft. Expect Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), too! After a long hiatus, The Type S model will return with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6, as well as 10-speed capabilities.
What has been redesigned however is the brakes and suspension, now offering a sportier driving experience.
Jaguar XJ
Estimated cost: $90,000
The last Jag was powered by an internal combustion engine. Next year the automobile will be entirely electric making it the flagship model. While the new model will be internally different, it will have that conventional Jaguar look and not appear as aesthetically groundbreaking as the I-Pace. The new Modular Longitudinal Architecture is intended to support moderate hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
In addition, top-spec models will supposedly be equipped with a 100-kW-hr battery as well as four motors developing a total of 800 hp
Toyota Mirai
Estimated cost: $60,000
Look forward to this total beaut of a car that has been completely redesigned. It certainly may rise in popularity (and somehow price.) Expect it to be lower and about 3 inches wider. It will also be driving on the rear-drive architecture and 20-inch rolling stock.
We are supposedly also expecting a more Lexus-like type driving performance in that the cabin will be quieter and equipped with a better infotainment system, as well as a killer sound system and improved aerodynamics.
Cadillac Celestiq
Estimated cost: $200,000
The massive four-door, four-passenger, the electric vehicle has some big wheels and a hatch in place of a trunk. Expect this hand-built tourer to have plenty of backseat space and a tinted glass roof for extra privacy.
Each sedan will have plenty of design details such as embedded flower petals. It's going to be quite a pretty car, indeed.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Estimated cost:$95,000
This S-Class has been given the code-name "W223" and is a total redesign of the flagship sedan. Elegant as ever and with a more stylish C-pillar, the new exterior is quite a sight. Enjoy the new digital lights and a flashier grille. That's not all. The interior contains an extremely present digital dash equipped with two screens, one horizontal one in front of the drive (it resembles the screen in the current S-Class), and a vertical one that extends beyond the center console.
Powertrains will include the 3.0-liter straight-six and the AMG-developed 4.0-liter V-8—both including a 48-volt light hybrid system.
Hyundai Prophecy Concept
Estimated cost: $40,000
As the name implies, this is a concept car. The shape could likely dictate the future of battery-electric production. What is most notable is that Hyundai's designers have made a real effort to maximize its range by minimizing the aero drag.
The interior will also be updated to reflect the contemporary design style. Don't fret, you can still expect some familiar elements.
Subaru WRX
Estimated cost: $30,000
This high-performance sedan has some serious new underpinnings and a reshaped bodywork. Key staple features have been maintained in the new version with things like standard all-wheel drive and a powerful turbocharged flat-four engine.
The current 268-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder will be replaced for a more powerful and larger 2.4-liter unit, too.
Toyota GR86
Estimated cost: $30,000
Expect big changes for Toyota. This edition will be the product of co-developed Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ. The 2.4-liter turbocharged unit that makes 260 hp and 277 lb-ft in the Subaru Ascent will certainly outdo the current Toyobaru.
Toyota is presumed to provide the underpinnings for the new coupes, and will likely be a variant of the automaker's modular TNGA platform.
Mazda 6
Estimated cost: $28,000
Forget about the front-drive four-cylinder. The up and coming Mazda will be running on a new online-six with Skyactiv-X spark-controlled compression ignition. The soon to be eight-speed automatic will also offer all-wheel drive.
While the powertrain will be dropped, but the latest Mazda patents demonstrate some great electrification ideas such as an electric motor positioned on the gas engine with extra inner-wheel electric motors.
BMW I4
Estimated cost: $50,000
This BMW's first attempt at making a midsize EV, simultaneously, it's also a great competitor to the Tesla Model 3. With an all-new exterior, the EPA-estimated range of 270 miles(fully-charged) will dash from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds.
The i4 will also virtually self-driving as it comes packed with sensors and radars. It might also be the first car to get a redesigned BMW logo.
Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
Estimated cost: $100,000
Since drifting from its Super-Leicht roots, the newly redesigned SL is starting from scratch as an AMG. This vehicle has the next-gen performance of a sports car like that of GT S, GT C, and GT R supercars.
The folding hard-top convertible roof also sets it apart from the lot. Balancing between AMG GT roadster style and the S-Class Cabriolet, this car is something special.
Lucid Air
Estimated cost: $60,000
Largely a result of the brains behind the Tesla Model S as well as every Formula E, the Lucid Air is a technological powerhouse. This will potentially have 1,200 hp.
A key indicator of this incredible is advancement is the motor's ability to soar at 900 volts. Expect a roomy passenger cabin and sublime design by ex-Mazda design chief Derek Jenkins.
Chevrolet Colorado
Estimated cost: $26,395
We will be seeing the new Colorado without the previous base trim as it has been discontinued. This will be the sixth model meaning it will have some major revamped in terms of both exterior and interior build.
The powertrain will also be greatly improved. Enjoy the new front end and tailgate.
Toyota Sienna
Estimated cost: $35,000
The Toyota Sienna will be first the real redesign in a whole decade. The underpinnings rest on a modified Toyota New Global Architecture TNGA-K platform (used for Toyota Camry sedan and Highlander crossover SUV.)
It will also be trading it its 296-horsepower V-6 engine for a standard hybrid powertrain that runs on a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors to generate 243 hp. Enjoy the luxury add ons including a refrigerator, kick-activated sliding doors, and even a vacuum cleaner.
Chrysler Pacifica
Esimated cost: $35,500-$52,000
With a major speed and capability upgrade, this car also has a new all-wheel-drive option. Some stylistic touch-ups have been made, too. For now, it will only be available only on gas models, but the AWD system can save fuel.
You can also enjoy the nifty Alexa integration and a higher screen resolution.
Honda Odyssey
Estimated cost: $32,000
With the redesigned grille and new foglight structure, the Odyssey is looking good. The second-row seats are now even more spacious than ever. In addition, it will be getting a new rear-seat reminder that functions with the CabinWatch camera in order to alert drivers of any left behind goods when the engine goes off.
Unfortunately, all the tech and infotainment systems remain the same.
GMC Hummer SUT
Estimated cost: $70,000
This Hummer is pretty intimidating. The model is said to be available in short- and long-wheelbase configurations, with an air suspension that is adjustable and independent. The monstrous off-road tires, sturdy running boards, and even a removable targa top can be stored in the "frunk" AKA the front trunk.
The new GMC is powered on GM's BEV3 dedicated electric architecture. It also includes the Ultium fast-charging batteries, with the most powerful providing 1,000 horsepower and 11,500 lb-ft of axle torque.
Ram Dakota
Estimated cost: $21,500-$45,000
Seeing as there was such positive reaction over the return of the Chevrolet Colorado, and the Ford Ranger, the Tacoma decided to follow suit. With that said, it will supposedly be a scaled-down a notch, resembling the Ram 1500 (interior wise too.)
We are expecting gas and diesel options, with a potential hybrid option.
Ford F-150
Estimated cost: $30,000-$70,000
Some surprisingly deep changes have been made. The new Ford supports a hybrid powertrain with a 3.5-liter gasoline V-6 and electric motors. We can also expect an all-electric model after the initial sales.
Included in the reworking is an updated with a major digital cluster and infotainment system dashboard.
