upcoming cars Future Cars! 2017 and Beyond

It’s a tumultuous time in the U.S. for a number of reasons, and our automotive marketplace is no exception. Every segment is staring down a big shake-up, and no matter what happens, consumers will have more choice than ever before.

Much of the change is the culmination of years of market forces. Gas prices are down, and expectations are up. The meteoric rise of the crossover continues unabated while the traditional SUV retreats comfortably into its niche. Mainstream electric cars are finally hitting the road with gasolinelike driving range and practicality. Hybrid powertrains are showing up in new places while once-fledgling segment benders such as the coupelike SUV gain greater acceptance. And no matter the segment, the car had better be crammed with the latest technology and features.

What follows are the hottest new cars, trucks, crossovers, SUVs, vans, and everything in between set to go on sale within the next few years. It’s by no means a comprehensive list, but rather the vehicles we’re most excited about and what we know about them so far. Some you’ll be able to buy later this year, and others are a few years down the road. No teases, just real products you’ll be able buy soon in one form or another. Welcome to the future.
