25 Best Cars Coming In 2023
Here are the models to look out for in 2023, including electric vehicles, crossovers, and swanky new sports cars.
We are far into 2022 and have already seen the majority of the upcoming models. However, 2023 is anticipated to be much more interesting as numerous automakers release wholly unique models from their standard lineup. Additionally, significant adjustments will be made to some of our legendary models. Here are several new automobiles for 2023 that you should be most enthusiastic about in light of this.
Unbelievably, the end of the year is already approaching. That indicates that producers are preparing their goods for 2023 and working to get them into stores as soon as possible. Many of the new debuts for the upcoming year have already been seen; in fact, some of them have even been driven. But before January even arrives, there will be a ton more. These are only some.
Audi A6 E-Tron
The A6 E-Tron Avant Concept, a significant forthcoming entry for Audi in the EV arena, was recently unveiled. The latest skateboard architecture developed by the VW group, which also supports the E-Tron SUV and the future Macan EV, is the basis for this new all-electric version of the A6. The Mercedes EQE and BMW are eagerly awaited i5 cars that will compete head-to-head with the A6 E-Tron.
Expect the sedan's range to be close to that of the E-Tron Avant concept's 100 kWh battery, which should provide roughly 430 miles of range on the WLTP cycle. The A6 E-Tron range should hit showrooms by early 2023 with a starting price of about $75,000 with single as well as dual-motor versions anticipated at the time of launch. RS models will enter the line-up by early 2024 with a strong dual-motor system with up to 476 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. That concludes our list of some of the new cars coming out in 2023.
Ferrari Purosangue SUV
The launch of the first Ferrari SUV is significant, especially in light of the company's prior denials that such a vehicle would ever be produced. This has to be one of the most bizarre 2023 automobiles, in part because it hardly qualifies as an SUV. The Purosangue, the first of numerous Ferrari vehicles to be unveiled before 2023, is anticipated to make its debut in the first half of 2022 as a 2023 model.
Ferrari Purosangue will continue to offer a naturally aspirated V-12 engine. The SUV, which Ferrari refers to as an FUV, is rumoured to have a V-8 variant and potentially a V-6 hybrid accessible in the future. Over $300,000 is the anticipated starting price for the Purosangue.
Toyota GR Corolla 2023
Toyota is fulfilling our demand for a hot hatchback with the new GR Corolla, despite the fact that we won't be getting the GR Yaris here in the US. When the GR Corolla makes its premiere later this year, it may feature roughly 270 horsepower and a manual transmission thanks to rumours that it would have the same turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine as the Yaris.
Aston Martin Vanquish
In terms of Aston Martin model history, Vanquish is a venerable moniker. The forthcoming Vanquish, which will be wholly unique from any other before it, is among one of the most fascinating automobiles to debut in 2023. This is because the future Aston Martin Vanquish will be a supercar with a mid-engine that will compete with models like the McLaren 720S and Ferrari F8 Tributo.
Although less dramatic, it has some of the same aesthetics as the Aston Martin Valhalla. A 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine with 700 horsepower will power the Vanquish. The 2024 Vanquish will go into production in 2023 and have a starting price of $300,000.
2023 Toyota Crown
The Crown is a distinctive new addition to the Toyota portfolio for 2023 that is neither quite a sedan nor quite a crossover. It has two hybrid engine choices, a 2.5-liter engine, and a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine, the most potent of which generates 340 horsepower. Later this year, the new Crown will be available for purchase, although Toyota has not yet disclosed the cost.
Mazda MX-5 Miata ND3
Since 2016, the ND-coded fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 has been available. Mazda's quick, light roadster underwent a facelift in 2018 (ND2), but it appears that Mazda isn't finished just yet. The Mazda MX-5 ND3, which will arrive in December 2022, will deliver the Miata much more than simply a slight increase in power. The upgraded ND3 Miata will therefore go on sale in 2023.
The ND3 Miata will weigh 2,028 pounds (920 kg), which is less than the ND2, which weighs 2,182 pounds (990 kg). However, there have been rumors of downsizing to a 1.2-liter, albeit they haven't been substantiated. On the good side, we are aware that the 2.0 and 1.5-liter engines will still be available, and the Miata will continue to be offered with a six-speed manual transmission until the completely electric version is introduced in 2025.
Toyota GR Corolla
A hot Toyota hatchback is now uncommon, but it appears like Toyota's racing company, Gazoo Racing, is on a roll, producing one fascinating model after another. Toyota recently introduced the eagerly anticipated GR Corolla after delays brought on by COVID-19, and it's perhaps the most thrilling hot hatch of the year. The GR Corolla follows the GR Supra, GR86, and rally-bred GR Yaris.
The 1.6-liter, inline-three engine that debuted with the GR Yaris is upgraded for the GR Corolla. It is capable of 300 horsepower in this application, sending power to all four wheels, and best of all, it is only available with a six-speed manual transmission. The 2023 GR Corolla will hit stores by the end of 2022 with entry-level models expected to start at $32,000 and the circuit edition at $40,000, respectively.
2023 Polestar 3
Polestar is adding one or three more stars to its repertoire. The new Polestar 3 will join the existing Polestar 2 sedan as the company's first electric crossover. The Polestar 3 crossover should take inspiration from the 2 sedan's single- and dual-motor configurations. But until the EV is on sale later this year, we won't know all the specifics.
Mazda CX-70 and CX-90
Mazda just announced that it will not produce the eagerly awaited Mazda 6 sedan. The sole positive aspect of this development is that the mid-sized sedan's underpinnings will be used in Mazda's future CX-70 and CX-90 SUVs. Mazda Europe's chief of engineering and development, Joachim Kunz, corroborated the information that the Mazda 6 sedan was scrapped in favor of several crossover SUVs that will prove to be more lucrative for the company.
The new SUVs will have a widebody design and will replace the outdated Mazda CX-7 and CX-9 SUVs with a more contemporary powertrain. This powertrain will include an inline-six as well as a turbo four-cylinder plug-in hybrid variant on an RWD architecture, with AWD expected to be standard across the range. The CX70, the smaller crossover, will have a 5-seat arrangement and is anticipated to go on sale in the first half of 2023. The larger CX90, with a 7-seat layout, will compete against other three-row premium SUVs like the Telluride and Palisade.
2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV
Later this year, the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV will replace the larger EQS SUV in the lineup. The base model will have 288 horsepower, while the top-of-the-line AMG variant might have 671 horsepower.
Hyundai Ioniq 7
In terms of electrification, Hyundai is moving forward well, and its subsidiary, Ioniq, is ready to expand its model selection with a third vehicle. The Ioniq 7 is a full-size, three-row SUV that the Korean EV brand released following the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6. This vehicle would be at the top of the model series. We currently know that the 350 kW rapid-charge capability of the Ioniq 7 will provide 62 miles of range in just five minutes.
Based on Hyundai-E-GMP Kia's scalable EV platform, the Ioniq 7 could provide up to 100 kWh thanks to battery technology advancements made by Hyundai. Hyundai hasn't released any power numbers, but we do know that the configuration will have a range of 400 miles (644 km). The electric SUV from Hyundai is anticipated to go on sale in the second half of 2023.
2023 Lexus RZ
The RZ crossover, an RX sister powered by batteries, will be the brand's first fully electric vehicle (EV) as Lexus electrifies its lineup. The Toyota BZ4X and the Subaru Solterra should use the same e-TNGA platform as the RZ, however, it probably has a larger battery and a longer range. Later this year, the Lexus RZ will arrive on sale.
2023 Kia Niro
For 2023, the Kia Niro underwent a significant redesign. This upgrade keeps both the PHEV and full-EV models in production and features a new exterior and contemporary interior. However, the base Niro has the same 1.6-liter hybrid system from the previous year, producing 139 horsepower. Within the next few months, the hybrid should be available for purchase in the US.
Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06
The C8 Corvette is one of the most popular sports vehicles now on the market since it is the first mid-engine production Corvette. Nearly two years later, its sexier variant, the C8 Z06, makes its appearance and adds still another surprise. The 6.2-liter pushrod V-8 has been replaced with a 5.5-liter V-8 with a flat-plane crankshaft that sounds more like a Ferrari.
The new C8 Z06 mill produces 470 pound-feet (637 Nm) of torque at 6,300 RPM and 670 horsepower at 8,400 RPM. Once more, it has an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The Corvette C8 Z06 is expected to begin production in the summer of 2022, meaning the first batch of vehicles will be delivered to consumers around 2023.
BMW X8
While it appears that EVs, hybrids, and fuel efficiency will be the main focus in 2023, there will still be a large number of new models that use internal combustion engines. BMW may have created the XM hybrid SUV, but in 2023 it will release the BMW X8, another full-size SUV. Every SUV model offered by BMW has a coupe form, and the X8 is no exception.
The BMW X8 is simply a coupe version of the X7 and is built on the same basis. Similar to the X7, a choice of inline-six and V-8 engines, some of which will function as a mild hybrid system, will power the X8. The X8's sharper appearance comes at the expense of the X7's third-row seats and some cargo room. By the end of 2022, the BWM X8 will be unveiled, and sales will start in 2023.
Porsche Macan EV
Presently, Porsche is in an intriguing position. The business's efforts to develop synthetic fuels show that it is not wholly dedicated to an all-electric future. Despite this, Porsche still intends to extend its EV lineup to take advantage of the growing EV market. Starting in 2023, the Macan will be the first model to switch from internal combustion to electricity.
Porsche is still ironing out some kinks at the time of writing this because the electric Macan was repeatedly seen during cold-weather testing. The Macan's internal combustion engine will be discontinued in 2024, which confirms that Porsche's small SUV will only be powered by electricity in the future.
Ford Mustang S650
The current Ford Mustang S550 model will be discontinued in 2022. The following S650 generation pony car will go on sale in March 2023.
The 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 and the 2.3-liter EcoBoost are both available. They will, nevertheless, be a part of a hybrid system. It is still too early to say whether this also refers to the S650 Mustang's all-wheel drive system. Although a return of the 10-speed automatic is anticipated, nothing has been stated about the manual variant as of yet. Ford is being coy about how much of its vehicles will be hybridized, although it will almost probably be a plug-in or a complete hybrid.
2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6
We anticipate the Ioniq 6 electric car to go on sale later this year outside of the US before coming to America, even though it isn't strictly a 2023 model-year vehicle. The Ioniq 6 should cost around $40,000 and come with a choice of 53.0- or 77.4-kilowatt-hour battery packs with up to 320 horsepower available in the dual-motor option.
2023 Honda HR-V
In 2016, the Honda HR-V crossover made its US debut. However, the subcompact receives a significant upgrade for the 2023 model year, which now features a sporty body and a new 2.0-liter engine that generates 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. For $24,895, a tiny crossover is available.
2023 Honda CR-V
The Honda CR-V for 2023 has been anticipated for a while. For 2023, the beloved compact sedan of the company received a makeover that includes considerable visual changes, a new interior that is inspired by the Civic, and changes to the engine options.
2023 Ferrari Purosangue
Here is the first Ferrari SUV. The Purosangue has the highest power of any naturally aspirated Ferrari product to date, with a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 715 horsepower and 528 pound-feet of torque. Later this year, the new Ferrari Purosangue will be offered for purchase, with prices beginning around $400,000.
2023 Dodge Hornet
With the new Hornet, Dodge (finally) has a tiny crossover of its own. The Dodge Hornet, which is based on the Alfa Romeo Tonale platform, includes a plug-in hybrid engine that can produce up to 285 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 6.1 seconds. It also comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Later this year, the redesigned Hornet will be offered for purchase, with prices beginning around $30,000.
2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Later this year, the eagerly anticipated C8 Z06 goes on sale with a new 5.5-liter V8 engine that produces 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This hyper coupe can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds and can reach an absurd 8,600 RPM. The order books for the 2023 model year are already closed, but the new Z06 has a starting price of $106,395 instead.
2023 BMW XM
Last year, BMW unveiled the XM concept, a vehicle with an eccentric appearance and a plug-in hybrid engine with a maximum output of 750 horsepower. That idea will now become a reality. The 750-horsepower version is anticipated for later in 2023, while the debut version will feature 644 hp and 650 lb-ft. Pricing is unknown.
2023 BMW 7 Series / i7
The largest and most opulent car made by BMW is brand-new for the 2023 model year. The new 7 Series features an edgy appearance, a plush interior, and now a choice between an electric or gas engine. The new BMW i7 has a battery pack with a capacity of 101.7-kilowatt hours, while the gas models come in six- and eight-cylinder variations. Up to 536 horsepower is produced by both the i7 and the gas-powered 7 Series.
2023 Alfa Romeo Tonale
Alfa Romeo added the Tonale to its roster of crossover vehicles, expanding it by one. The Tonale, the brand's first plug-in hybrid car, sits below the bigger Stelvio and has a turbocharged 1.3-liter inline-four engine with battery assistance. It has a range of 30 miles on electricity and a 272 horsepower overall output. Later this year, the new Tonale goes on sale, with prices expected to start at about $30,000.
