Mazda EV

Mazda 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.

Lamborghini Urus

How 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.

Faraday Future FF 91

The 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.

Ram midsize pickup

Rumors of a Ram midsize hauler have swirled for years. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Mike Manley sparked further speculation in 2019 when he said the Ram team was "focused on solving a metric ton midsize-truck solution for us because it's a big part of the portfolio and growth we want to achieve."

Reports emerged this year that FCA had trademarked "Dakota," the name of the midsize pickup dropped in 2011 after a 25-year run. Suppliers told Automotive News in 2018 that the midsize pickup would be built at the Toledo, Ohio, plant where the Jeep Gladiator is produced. A release timeline is uncertain, and a forecaster isn't expecting the vehicle until 2025 at the earliest.

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.
