STAGE:McLaren 765LTThe large wagon debuted in 2017, followed by an all-wheel-drive Cross Country variant nearly a year later.
STAGE:Volvo V90Ford's last traditional sedan is not long for this world. Production of the Fusion Sport trim was phased out this year.

Permalink | Email this | CommentsSince adopting its global platform strategy, Toyota has been able to do smaller, less expensive and more timely product interventions on vehicles already on the Toyota New Global Architecture, such as the Camry.
STAGE:Toyota CamryThe convertible expands the Vantage line from a coupe, which was redesigned for a 2018 launch.
STAGE:Aston Martin VantageGM has teased an electric full-size pickup that will be built at Detroit-Hamtramck, likely in 2023.

STAGE:BMW iNEXTThe redesigned 2021 A3 sedan's U.S. arrival was delayed by the COVID-19 outbreak and related production shutdowns.
STAGE:Audi A3 / S3/ RS 3The entry-level car was redesigned for the 2018 model year, and last year received a new engine and continuously variable automatic transmission.
STAGE:Kia RioA new three-row crossover could join the lineup in 2022 on FCA's minivan platform, potentially replacing the Durango and Journey.
STAGE:Dodge full-size crossoverThe Ioniq 5 midsize crossover will launch globally next year but not arrive in the U.S. until the fall.
STAGE:Ioniq 5The fourth-generation sports car was freshened for the 2019 model year with a boost in horsepower, a telescoping steering wheel and new trim packages.
STAGE:Mazda MX-5 MiataA third EV will be a version of the ID Vizzion sedan and possibly arrive in 2023.
STAGE:VW EVBMW has positioned the X2 as a sportier alternative to the X1.
STAGE:BMW X2A freshening of the four-door sedan is expected to arrive in late 2020. The Panamera 4S trim will receive a 2.9-liter, twin-turbo V-6 mild-hybrid powertrain, which debuts in the 2020 Audi S6 and S7 sedans this year. A Panamera redesign could arrive by early 2024.
STAGE:Porsche PanameraSales of the subcompact crossover rose 30 percent in 2019, but some of that volume could soon shift to the larger and newer Trailblazer.
STAGE:Chevrolet TraxThe subcompact carries over for 2021 in gasoline and EV versions.
STAGE:Hyundai KonaA redesigned model, to be built at the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit, is expected to reach dealerships in early 2021. A plug-in hybrid version should be available by the third quarter of 2021.
STAGE:Jeep Grand CherokeeThe unnamed model, which will likely slot below the premium Grand Wagoneer, is expected in 2021.
STAGE:Jeep three-row utility vehicleThe new lifestyle pickup should be revealed this year and go on sale in the third quarter of next year as a 2022 model.
STAGE:Hyundai Santa CruzExpect a freshened version of the subcompact crossover, which was a new entry for the 2020 model year, in 2023.

STAGE:Alfa Romeo KamalThe Sian FKP 37, one of the highlights of the Frankfurt show, is a limited-run hybrid supercar.
STAGE:Lamborghini Sian FKP 37A freshen comes in 2022, and a redesign is still some years off — possibly in the second half of 2024.
STAGE:Infiniti QX50Deliveries of the Speedtail, McLaren's three-seat hypercar with a starting price around $2.3 million, are to begin in January.
STAGE:McLaren SpeedtailA 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 GTIt could be one and done for the most road-friendly Range Rover yet, which debuted in 2017.
STAGE:Land Rover Range Rover VelarLamborghini's hot-selling SUV remains unchanged for the 2020 model year. Variants are likely in the near future, according to press reports. A plug-in hybrid with a V-8 could arrive around 2021. A high-performance variant is likely.
STAGE:Lamborghini UrusA redesigned version of the former Fisker Karma, which starts at $135,000, the Revero sports two electric motors that drive the rear wheels. It can travel up to 80 miles on a single charge, plus about 280 miles more on a full tank of gasoline. Company officials say Revero production is underway at Karma’s Moreno Valley, Calif., plant and that customer deliveries will start this month.
STAGE:Karma ReveroFord executives recently showed off the still-unnamed pickup to roughly 100 high-volume dealers at a multiday event in Tucson in February, according to some who attended.
STAGE:Ford Compact pickupAfter 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. The Model 3 earned a Top Safety Pick Plus award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the institute said this month.
STAGE:Tesla Model 3Redesigned in 2017 and joined by a new convertible this year, the LC is unlikely to receive much more than minor upgrades until at least 2025.
STAGE:Lexus LCAlfa Romeo unveiled a limited-edition 2020 4C Spider Italia in February at the Chicago Auto Show, but production was limited to 15 vehicles.
STAGE:Alfa Romeo 4CWhen the redesigned GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado full-size pickups came out in 2018, critics knocked GM on the interior.
STAGE:Chevrolet SilveradoToyota’s three-row crossover received a redesign in 2019, including some much improved creature comforts and safety features.

STAGE:Buick Midsize electric crossoverMercedes' entry-level vehicle is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine that produces 188 hp and 221 pound-feet of torque. But a more powerful AMG variant — the A 35 — went on sale this spring. The engine is AMG-enhanced, producing 302 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque.
STAGE:Mercedes-Benz A classDespite 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 Clubman was freshened for the 2020 model year and those updates will carry over for the 2021 model year.
STAGE:Mini ClubmanThe current Range Rover large SUV, introduced in 2013, is coasting toward retirement.
STAGE:Land Rover Range RoverThe alternatively styled alternative-fuel sedan carries over for 2021 in its plug-in hybrid and lease-only fuel-cell variations. In the absence of a pure-electric Honda model in North America, the Clarity is a stand-in for more modern zero-emissions vehicles. The Clarity EV — with just 89 miles of range — was scrapped last year. Honda is working with General Motors on two full-electric vehicles.
STAGE:Honda ClarityStartup Bollinger Motors has lined up a contract manufacturer to assemble at least the first year’s production of about 1,000 total units of the B1 and B2, the boxy electric street-legal off-road vehicles the company has designed and engineered in-house. It’s aiming to start selling them in 2021.
STAGE:Bollinger B1/B2The large SUV is basking in the glow of its 2018 redesign — its first in nearly 20 years.
STAGE:Ford ExpeditionThe Malibu likely will get a heavy face-lift in 2022 as a last-ditch effort to attract buyers before Chevy discontinues the midsize sedan in 2024 or 2025.
STAGE:Chevrolet MalibuThe compact sedan carries over for 2021 with aggressive pricing that puts the base model at just $26,925, including shipping.
STAGE:Acura ILXThe “everyday supercar” was freshened for the 2019 model year and carries over into 2021.
STAGE:Acura NSXThe Discovery is expected to get a mild freshening next year with a new grille, headlights and taillights and a new infotainment system.
STAGE:Land Rover DiscoveryAudi's first BEV went on sale in the U.S. in early 2019, and its limited range disappointed.
STAGE:Audi e-tronThe compact crossover arrived in 2017 and will see its first freshening this fall for the 2021 model year.
STAGE:Jaguar E-PaceA new generation debuts in the fall with sharper angles and upscale features, including optional side-by-side instrument and infotainment screens under a single piece of glass.
STAGE:Hyundai ElantraExpect a redesign of the XT5, and potentially a new name, in 2023.
STAGE:Cadillac XT5Teased in August during Monterey Car Week, the unnamed two-seater will debut in 2020 with production starting later that year, according to McLaren.
STAGE:McLaren RoadsterThe electric version of the GLA should arrive in the U.S. next year.
STAGE:Mercedes-Benz EQAThe large crossover, a major hit since it was released as a new model last year, mostly carries over for 2021.
STAGE:Hyundai PalisadeWith its futuristic, angular body, Tesla's Cybertruck electric pickup has a polarizing design that could limit sales in a segment symbolic of a rugged, practical American lifestyle.
STAGE:Tesla CybertruckThe 6 Series GT and Gran Coupe ended production in 2019 and have been discontinued in the U.S.
STAGE:BMW 6 seriesSpy shots suggest the Genesis version could be a tall hatchback, echoing the body of EV crossovers such as the Tesla Model Y that are relatively low to the ground to reduce wind resistance and increase efficiency.
STAGE:Genesis EVThe sedan receives the Widebody treatment for the Hellcat and Scat Pack iterations for the 2020 model year, which is expected in dealerships early next year.
STAGE:Dodge ChargerThe compact sedan was redesigned in January.
STAGE:Nissan SentraExecutives and dealers are counting on the new large crossover, which launched this summer, to be a home run.
STAGE:Lincoln AviatorExpect the Chevrolet midsize crossover to be freshened in 2022 and redesigned in 2024.
STAGE:Chevrolet BlazerCompared with its segment peers, the Toyota full-size pickup is ancient — its current platform dates to 2007 — so in terms of the nation’s most rough-and-tumble, profit-rich segment, the Tundra has quite a bit of catching up to do.
STAGE:Toyota TundraThe lineup will get a new utility option, smaller than the Levante, in 2021, the brand said last week.
STAGE:Maserati midsize crossoverThe 11th-generation Civic sedan will debut in spring 2021 as a 2022 model, after being delayed by a few months because of the coronavirus pandemic.
STAGE:Honda CivicIn 2023, Cadillac is expected to launch an electric SUV similar in size to the Escalade.
STAGE:Cadillac large electric SUVSpy images of the smaller Genesis crossover hint at a design that reflects a diminutive GV80, with a sloping backside and horizontal lines for exterior lighting.
STAGE:Genesis GV70With luxury sedan sales dipping, Lexus chose to reengineer the Lexus IS compact sport sedan in 2020 instead of a full redesign.
STAGE:Lexus ISThe compact commercial van is due to be redesigned in 2022.

STAGE:Kia SportageThe limited-run electric vehicle made its auto show debut this spring in Shanghai.
STAGE:Aston Martin Rapide EA freshening of the compact crossover is due to arrive in the U.S. in 2023, and it is likely to include the addition of a mild-hybrid system, given the brand's ambitions to electrify most of the models across its lineup.

STAGE:Kia NiroAcura is dropping the aging RLX flagship sedan in North America after the 2020 model year as the luxury brand regroups around nimble sports sedans and athletic crossovers because of changing consumer tastes.
American Honda told dealers in May that the low-selling RLX will no longer be imported from Japan, where it's sold as the Honda Legend. The Legend will continue to be offered in Japan and other markets, American Honda said in an email to Automotive News.

STAGE:Rivian R1S/R1TThe smaller of the two confirmed crossovers is expected in 2021, a year after the GV80.
STAGE:Genesis GV70The attractive third-generation Insight arrived for the 2019 model year, so the updates coming in 2021 are minimal.
STAGE:Honda InsightBMW broadened its flagship model range with the 8 Series Gran Coupe last year. The rwd 840i Gran Coupe and awd 840i xDrive variants are powered by BMW's turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. A new M8 Gran Coupe arrived in January.
