A first look at the most exciting cars, pickups, and SUVs set to arrive in the coming years.
Future rides on the horizon: Exciting cars, trucks, and SUVs set to debut between 2025 and 2029.
Even in our fast-paced world of overnight shipping, self-checkouts, and ultra-fast internet, some things still take time. The cars, trucks, and SUVs featured here won’t be hitting showrooms for several months—or even a few years. A few are nearly ready for production, while others are still just sketches on a designer’s screen. But we're spotlighting them now because these are the vehicles that truly stand out, even as the market floods with forgettable crossovers. These are the ones worth waiting for.
The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is getting a major overhaul for its upcoming second generation, expected to launch in 2026. While it will retain the brand’s signature sleek and seductive design, the new Stelvio will be offered with both hybrid and fully electric powertrain options. It’s also transitioning to the STLA Large architecture, potentially expanding its size from a compact to more of a mid-size SUV. A high-performance Quadrifoglio version is also likely in the pipeline, possibly featuring the same Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six engine planned for the Dodge Charger, which shares the same platform.
Inspired by the Vision Neue Klasse concept, the upcoming generation of BMW’s iconic 3-series sedan is set to feature both traditional gas-powered and fully electric versions. The electric model—likely to carry the i3 name—will be built on a brand-new EV platform boasting advanced 800-volt technology. This platform will also serve as the foundation for a high-performance, all-electric M3 variant, expected to utilize a powerful quad-motor setup. BMW is anticipated to unveil the i3 by late 2025, with the electric M3, possibly dubbed the iM3, arriving in 2026.
The Corvette lineup is set to grow in a bold new direction, with a performance SUV wearing the iconic Corvette badge on the way—yes, really. Built on GM’s Alpha platform, the new SUV is expected to carry aggressive styling in line with Corvette’s sporty DNA. Engine options are likely to span from a turbocharged four-cylinder base model to a high-powered Z0-series variant featuring a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. This hotly debated addition to the Corvette family is anticipated to make its official debut before the year’s end.
The mid-engine Corvette C8 was designed from the start to serve as the foundation for a lineup of high-performance models, and the forthcoming Zora promises to be the most thrilling of them all. This range-topping hybrid beast—shown in this rendering—is expected to outperform the ZR1 by combining electric motors with a twin-turbo V8 engine. With an all-wheel-drive setup and electrified boost, the Zora is poised to break the 1000-horsepower barrier with ease, especially considering the gas-only ZR1 is already rated at 1064 horsepower.
Ferrari’s first electric vehicle signals a bold new chapter for the legendary Italian brand. While the company remains committed to its iconic V-12 engines for as long as regulations allow, it’s also embracing the future with a sleek, all-electric high-performance SUV. Designed with a low profile and seating for at least four passengers, this new crossover will feature an entirely in-house developed powertrain, including custom-designed motors and a high-voltage battery. Expected to carry a starting price north of $500,000, Ferrari's electric SUV is scheduled to be officially unveiled on October 9, 2025.
Porsche turned heads with its rugged 911 Dakar, and Lamborghini followed suit by transforming the Huracán into the lifted Sterrato supercar. So why shouldn’t Ford give its iconic Mustang the Raptor treatment? As wild as it sounds, rumors suggest that this off-road Mustang will feature a naturally aspirated V8, all-wheel drive, and a raised suspension equipped with Fox Live Valve shocks. This unconventional, limited-edition version of the Mustang is expected to debut in 2026, starting at roughly $90,000.
Genesis may already offer a flagship sedan, but in today’s luxury market, a top-tier SUV is essential. That’s where the upcoming GV90 comes in—a full-size, three-row electric SUV designed to make a statement. While specific details remain under wraps, it's expected to come standard with all-wheel drive, deliver approximately 250 miles of driving range, and feature a lavish interior on par with the G90 sedan. Likely priced in the six-figure range, the GV90 is set to debut next year. Its bold, upscale styling was previewed by the 2024 Neolun concept.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is among the most thrilling electric vehicles available today, and now Genesis, Hyundai’s luxury division, is preparing its own high-performance electric SUV called the GV60 Magma. This bold, sporty crossover was introduced through a 2024 concept and will launch the new Magma subbrand, which is set to grow across the Genesis lineup and spearhead a motorsport effort, including a planned entry in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race. The GV60 Magma is expected to match the Ioniq 5 N’s power with 601 horsepower, plus a boost mode that temporarily increases output to 641 horsepower. It may also feature the Ioniq 5 N’s simulated gear shifts and artificial exhaust sounds.
Honda is bringing back the legendary Prelude nameplate, and fans are eager to see if the new sports coupe lives up to the legacy of its forerunners. Revealed as a concept at the 2023 Tokyo Auto Show, this upcoming Prelude seems to share its platform with the Civic and is expected to come equipped with a hybrid powertrain. We anticipate it will deliver well over 200 horsepower. Unfortunately, a manual transmission looks unlikely. While Honda has stated it won’t be as aggressive as the Civic Type R, the Prelude should still offer an enjoyable driving experience.
Jaguar has thrown out the playbook and will start afresh in late 2026 when production of the I-type gets underway. The large, four-door grand tourer will be the first model in a line of new EVs as Jaguar attempts to move upmarket to compete with the likes of Bentley. The I-type will be boldly styled, taking its blocky front end and dramatic proportions from the Type 00 concept. Jaguar is also targeting a 430-mile range for its new EV, which should be suitably powerful. We expect pricing to start close to $200,000 as Jaguar aims to capture a wealthier and younger audience.
Since discontinuing the KL-generation Cherokee a few years back, Jeep has been missing a presence in the highly competitive compact SUV market. This absence has impacted the brand’s sales, making the arrival of a new model to bridge the gap between the Compass and the Grand Cherokee long overdue. Jeep has confirmed plans for a new SUV featuring a hybrid powertrain, though it’s still unclear whether the Cherokee name will make a comeback. Regardless of the badge it carries, this new crossover is expected to be built on the STLA Large platform, likely positioning it on the bigger end of the segment alongside competitors like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.
Following the R2, Rivian plans to introduce the even smaller R3, a subcompact electric SUV with a touch of retro styling. Built on the same platform as the R2, the R3 is expected to offer a rear-wheel-drive single-motor option as well as a dual-motor all-wheel-drive model. The sportier R3X variant will feature a powerful tri-motor setup. Pricing for the R3 is anticipated to start below $40,000, while the performance-focused R3X will likely be priced closer to $50,000. Production is slated to begin in 2027, with the R3X arriving first.
Subaru has announced plans to electrify the next generation of its flagship performance model, the WRX STI. While it’s still unclear whether this will be a fully electric or hybrid powertrain, the new WRX STI is expected to remain an all-wheel-drive compact car with strong rally-inspired capabilities. Fans will be excited if Subaru brings back the hatchback version, and power is likely to exceed 400 horsepower. However, don’t hold your breath just yet—the revamped WRX STI is not anticipated to hit the market until 2028.
Toyota has recently been focusing on sports cars, continuing its dedication to the rear-wheel-drive 86—a two-door coupe developed alongside Subaru—and unveiling a new Supra in partnership with BMW. Now, the company is considering bringing back the mid-engine, two-seat MR2. Unlike its predecessors, the upcoming MR2 is expected to feature an electrified powertrain. Toyota teased this possibility with the FT-Se concept, which has heightened anticipation for the model’s return.
Renowned for its practicality, the RAV4 is one of Toyota’s key compact SUVs, making each new generation a significant event. The 2026 model year marks the next iteration, though major changes aren’t anticipated. Toyota is likely to phase out the traditional gasoline-only four-cylinder engine, instead offering hybrid variants exclusively. Following the Camry’s lead, the RAV4’s hybrid powertrain is expected to deliver around 225 horsepower in the front-wheel-drive version and 232 horsepower with all-wheel drive. The SUV will also feature updated, contemporary styling both inside and out. Look for the new RAV4 to be unveiled by mid-2025 and available in dealerships before the year ends.
Volvo has already introduced an electric version of the XC90 SUV with the 2025 EX90, and now the S90 sedan is set to receive its own electric counterpart called the ES90. This luxury electric sedan will compete directly with models like the BMW i5 and Audi A6 e-tron. Built on the same platform as the EX90, the ES90 will offer a range of powertrain options, from a 329-horsepower single-motor rear-wheel-drive version to a high-performance dual-motor all-wheel-drive model producing 670 horsepower. Thanks to a sleeker design and reduced weight, the ES90 is expected to achieve greater driving range—estimated between 343 and 369 miles, depending on the battery choice. The sedan will likely come loaded with advanced driver-assistance technologies, and its interior will feature Volvo’s signature Scandinavian minimalist design. U.S. sales are anticipated to begin in 2026.
