STAGE:Honda AccordIn 2018 when then newly minted Subaru Corp. CEO Tomomi Nakamura announced his five-year business plan, it included the launch of a "global strategic SUV" in the early 2020s.

STAGE:Aston Martin DBS SuperleggeraFreshened in 2019, the Passat is likely to be discontinued in the U.S. as sedan sales continue to plunge. When that will be depends largely on when its current production capacity in Chattanooga is needed.
STAGE:VW PassatIt will carry the storied pony car badge, but this electric crossover is a horse of a different color.
STAGE:Ford Mach-EThe versatile midsize pickup gets the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 with stop-start and an eight-speed automatic transmission, due this year for the 2021 model year.
STAGE:Jeep GladiatorWhen the Valhalla midengine hybrid sports car arrives, likely in 2023, it will have the distinct honor of being the first Aston Martin to have the automaker's first in-house-designed powerplant since 1968.
STAGE:Aston Martin ValhallaThe 1,080-hp electric sedan with a 517-mile range, from startup Lucid Motors, is expected to be one of the first production vehicles equipped with standard lidar for detecting vehicles, pedestrians and other obstacles.
STAGE:Lucid AirThe current two-door sports car was given a power boost for the 2019 model year and carries over into the 2021 model year with one notable exception. This fall a special edition will be offered in both the soft-top convertible model and the RF retractable fastback hard top to mark Mazda's 100th anniversary as a company in January.

STAGE:Kia TellurideProduction of the slow-selling two-seater is expected to end this 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 ElantraHow popular has Lamborghini’s first SUV been since its 2018 global introduction? In July, the automaker built its 10,000th example. For the 2021 model year, it added the Pearl Capsule edition, which pairs a yellow, orange or green exterior with a glossy black roof, rear diffuser and spoiler lip. The interior also is two-tone. A V-8 plug-in hybrid variant of the Urus is planned, but it’s unclear when the model will break cover.
STAGE:Lamborghini UrusThe 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:GMC Hummer electric SUVA completely redesigned fourth-generation Sorento was presented by Kia in March with a boxy SUV styling that echoed the new Telluride. The redesigned Sorento is bigger than the outgoing model and packs more technology and upscale materials. Kia has said the European-spec model will have a hybrid version, but has not confirmed that option for the U.S. market. Look for more news on that point when Kia presents the North America version of the crossover.
STAGE:Kia SorentoAfter launching the Encore GX in the first quarter between the Encore and Envision, Buick plans to freshen the vehicle in 2023.
STAGE:Buick Encore GXMazda plans to bring its first electric vehicle, the MX-30 crossover, to the U.S. with a rotary engine as a range-extending option. Prior to Mazda's confirmation of the plans in Jan. 2021, the MX-30 was expected to be sold mostly in Japan and Europe, given its modest 35.5-kilowatt-hour battery and 124-mile range. A Mazda spokesperson told Automotive News that the U.S. version "will be available as both a fully electric model and a series plug-in hybrid, featuring a rotary engine. Additional information about availability will be released at the appropriate time." The MX-30 is similar in size to the CX-3 and CX-30 subcompact crossovers sold in the U.S. But the MX-30 has "freestyle doors" that open along with the front doors like an extended-cab pickup.
STAGE:Mazda EVThe attractive third-generation Insight arrived for the 2019 model year, so the updates coming in 2021 are minimal.
STAGE:Honda InsightFord ended production of the midsize Fusion in late July, completing a plan outgoing CEO Jim Hackett announced in 2018 to eliminate all North American sedans.

For the 2021 model year, it added the Pearl Capsule edition, which pairs a yellow, orange or green exterior with a glossy black roof, rear diffuser and spoiler lip. The interior also is two-tone.

STAGE:Honda PilotThe Voyager, added to the lineup in 2019 as a value-based alternative to the Pacifica, could pick up the slack for the Dodge Grand Caravan, which is being discontinued in the U.S. after the 2020 model year and has ended production.

At least that’s what Musk told Automotive News Publisher Jason Stein this summer, echoing similar comments he made on the company’s earnings call in January. While he hasn’t offered a time frame, a van likely wouldn’t happen before the Cybertruck, Roadster or the semitruck. Musk said he wants to build it if only for looks. “One thing would be, can you make a minivan that looks good? Nobody’s ever done that,” he said.
