STAGE:Toyota-Subaru battery-electric crossoverThe redesigned 2019 CLS is powered by a new 3.0-liter turbocharged Inline-6 engine, making it the first U.S. application of the automaker's new 48-volt electrical system paired with an integrated starter generator, known as EQ Boost. Mercedes scrapped the eight-cylinder engine for the base U.S.-market CLS, now called the CLS 450. With the update, the CLS moves to the new Modular Rear-wheel-drive Architecture platform, the same platform used for the redesigned E class.
STAGE:Mercedes-Benz CLSPorsche is planning an entry-level, two-wheel-drive version of the Taycan electric sedan. The new variant is aimed at Chinese consumers, and it’s unclear whether the model will come stateside.

STAGE:BMW 6 seriesProduction of the 2020 Corvette Stingray, the first generation of the car to have a midengine layout, begins this year in Bowling Green, Ky., though Chevy hasn't said exactly when it will reach dealerships. Among its innovations is an optional lift system that raises the front end almost 2 inches to clear speed bumps or steep driveways. The 6.2-liter small block V-8 LT2 engine, visible through a rear hatch window, produces up to 495 hp and 470 pound-feet of torque. Chevy hasn't been specific on pricing yet, other than to say the car will start at less than $60,000.

STAGE:Chevrolet Bolt EVThe midsize sedan skipped a redesign onto the MQB platform this year in favor of a freshening as a cost-saving move, given the slow pace of sedan sales. It's unclear whether the Passat will survive into a new generation.
STAGE:VW PassatThe 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E is Ford’s answer to Tesla, General Motors and others that beat it to market with a long-range EV.
STAGE:Ford Mach EBMW and Alpina teamed up to create an X7 powered by a 4.4-liter, bi-turbo V-8 engine that produces 612 hp and 590 pounds-feet of torque.

STAGE:Chevrolet SonicNothing's official, but Hyundai at one point included an additional crossover in Genesis' product guide for the future. With its corporate siblings offering myriad crossover sizes, Genesis could probably go bigger like the Hyundai Palisade or smaller like the possibly upcoming Kia Seltos.
STAGE:Genesis third crossoverThe LC was redesigned in 2017 and would be due for a freshening in 2021, given Lexus product cycles.

STAGE:Cadillac electric crossoversWhile the name isn't official, a Bolt-based crossover is finally expected to arrive for the U.S. in 2021, likely after it arrives in China as a Buick. Spy shots of the vehicle appear to show the design will be a mix of the Bolt and Chevrolet Trax.
STAGE:Chevrolet Bolt crossoverThe Wrangler, which was redesigned for the 2018 model year, will receive a diesel-powered variant for the 2020 model year along with a plug-in hybrid option.
STAGE:Jeep WranglerThe hybrid version of the eighth-generation Sonata, due in U.S. dealerships in spring 2020, offers combined city, highway fuel economy of up to 52 mpg, more than 680 miles of range, new hybrid transmission technology that allows faster shifts and a new solar roof panel that provides 3 miles of the total range.
STAGE:Hyundai SonataThe large roadster is in line for a redesign in first-half 2021.
STAGE:Mercedes-Benz SLGM's heavy-duty pickups received much-needed redesigns and capacity increases for the 2020 model year. The highly profitable vehicles, which began shipping to dealers in June, 2019, feature distinctive designs to separate them from the light-duty pickups.
STAGE:Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and 3500HDThe 570S and 570S Spider carry on as the automaker's lowest price point models. Production of the 570GT has ended.

STAGE:Porsche 718 CaymanThe long-running entry car, sold only as a sedan in the U.S., was redesigned for the 2018 model year and updates its powertrain for the 2020 model year.
STAGE:Hyundai AccentIn April, the automaker debuted a 50th anniversary edition of the 370Z at the New York auto show. Last redesigned for 2009, the iconic roadster could be replaced with a sporty, performance-oriented, possibly electric offering. It would serve as a halo car, showcasing Nissan's future EV technologies. It has not been decided whether the 370Z name will carry on.
STAGE:Nissan 370ZMercedes will discontinue selling the all-electric coupe and convertible in the U.S. and Canada at the end of the 2019 model year.

STAGE:Tesla Model SA redesigned coupe and convertible is arriving at U.S. dealerships now with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 engine that generates 542 hp and 568 pound-feet of torque.
STAGE:Bentley Continental GTThough it has sold well, there may not be room for a next-generation Velar when the next Range Rover debuts in about 18 months. Jaguar Land Rover, to return to profitability, wants fewer nameplates that sell in higher volumes. It's possible that the Velar could morph into the long-rumored Road Rover crossover.
STAGE:Land Rover Range Rover VelarThe freshened Honda Civic Type R hot hatch receives new exterior and interior touches for 2020, in addition to a tweaked suspension, upgraded brakes and standard Honda Sensing safety and driver-assistance technology.

STAGE:Aston Martin ValhallaThe popular family hauler is due for a freshening in 2021, when Lincoln will add a hybrid model.
STAGE:Lincoln NavigatorIn its third generation, the X3 crossover generally maintains its overall exterior dimensions, although the wheelbase has grown 2.2 inches.
STAGE:BMW X3Ford's last traditional sedan is not long for this world. Production of the Fusion Sport trim was phased out this year. And despite relatively healthy sales, the midsize sedan is expected to be killed in 2021, freeing space at Ford's Hermosillo, Mexico, plant for more profitable vehicles.
STAGE:Ford FusionThe midengine hypercar, which debuted at the Frankfurt auto show in 2017, continues to be bogged down by delays.
STAGE:Mercedes-AMG OneThe retro-styled three-row electric minivan is due in the U.S. in 2023.

STAGE:Mini HardtopTwo new variants are coming soon at different ends of the SUV's range.
STAGE:Bentley BentaygaA major refresh is scheduled for late next year.
STAGE:Land Rover Discovery SportDespite the rapid sales success of the hulking Cullinan, the Phantom remains the brand's pinnacle model since its 2018 model year redesign. Considering that the current model replaced the Phantom VII, which launched in 2003, the large sedan likely has a long road ahead of it.
STAGE:Rolls-Royce PhantomThe freshened 2020 Mini Clubman and John Cooper Works Clubman are on their way to stores.
STAGE:Mini ClubmanA redesigned Range Rover on a new lightweight architecture is due in late 2021.
STAGE:Land Rover Range RoverThe crossover hasn't been redesigned since the 2014 model year, although it received a freshening for 2019 that included the addition of an A-Spec appearance package.
STAGE:Acura MDXThe swoopy-looking four-door would compete at the upper reaches of the luxury car market. Faraday claims the FF 91’s 1,050-hp electric motor can propel the car to 60 mph in less than three seconds. The driving range is claimed to be 378 miles on a charge. Fully loaded, the FF 91’s price would be around $200,000. But without financing, Faraday very likely won’t meet its goal of delivering its first vehicles a year from now.
STAGE:Faraday Future FF 91The subcompact crossover, Fiat's only all-wheel-drive vehicle, received a new 1.3-liter turbocharged engine in the 2019 model year.

STAGE:Audi A5 / S5/ RS 5After years of promises and a trip through "production hell," Tesla's vision of a $35,000 Model 3 appears dead. The automaker this year raised the base prices of all Model 3 trims by $400. The cheapest model is now $36,600 including shipping, and that's available only by special order at a Tesla store.

STAGE:Mercedes-Benz EQCA global all-electric crossover, expected to be the first vehicle on GM’s next-generation BEV3 platform for the U.S., is expected to take heavy design cues from a rendering that was shown by Cadillac for the 2019 Detroit auto show. It could launch in China before coming stateside in 2022 and begin a rapid cadence of EVs for the brand.
STAGE:Cadillac midsize electric crossoverWill they ever be redesigned? Expectations are not anytime soon. GM seems content to let the more than 15-year-old vans — whose development costs were fully amortized long ago — quietly age rather than invest in a new generation to compete against Ford's segment-dominating Transit series.

STAGE:Rolls-Royce CullinanGiven a slight freshening in 2019 for its 60th anniversary, the big three-row luxury SUV is expected to be redesigned onto Toyota's global body-on-frame platform in 2023 but could soldier on for one more product cycle with a freshening instead.
