With a focus on brand new models, redesigned vehicles, and those receiving substantial refreshes, this is your ultimate guide to new car models for 2021 and also the existing cars of 2020.
Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo’s been worryingly silent as of late. We haven’t had a new production debut from the Italian brand since the Stelvio SUV in 2016, but we’ve heard plenty of news regarding the upcoming year. For one, the Tonale concept, which previews a sub-Stelvio crossover, looks like going to hit the market. But we’re more focused on rumors of a forthcoming GTV coupe and the return of the range-topping 8C super-GT rendered above. The former is said to be an all-wheel-drive coupe based on the current Giulia platform, packing 600 horsepower from a hybridized twin-turbo V-6, at least according to a slide from Alfa’s presentation on its five-year plan.
Acura MDX
The next-gen 2022 Acura MDX keeps much of what made the mid-sized three-row SUV a success but gains a nearly 3-inch-longer wheelbase, which has been used to increase passenger and cargo room, and a double-wishbone front suspension that ought to improve handling and ride comfort. Acura applied the engaging interior styling components of the RDX and all-new TLX sedan to the larger MDX, however additionally more an unintuitive docudrama system which may be a deal-breaker for a few buyers. Most versions can get a constant engine because of the current model, and therefore the freshly added MDX sort S will feature a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine that Acura estimates will manufacture 355 hp. Each engine sends power through a 10-speed automatic drive with facultative all-wheel drive.
Audi Q5 Sportback
This is a four-door hatchback version of the wonderful Q5 SUV. Audi calls it a “coupe,” but we just see reduced cargo space from a vehicle that rides as high as an SUV. Still, drivers who are willing to sacrifice some practicality in the name of styling should find it rewarding: We praise the Q5 SUV for its nimble, secure handling and compliant, controlled ride. A high-performance SQ5 Sportback will follow.
Buick Envision
Buick’s luxury compact SUV is redesigned for 2021, getting a sharper front end, a sleeker side profile, and an updated interior. The Envision sits between the Encore GX and the larger three-row Enclave. The Chinese-built Envision uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. It comes in front- and all-wheel drive. we tend to hope the design can address the previous Envision’s clumsy handling while not dynamically the simple access and convenient rear seat. The Envision comes commonplace with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and blind-spot warning..
2022 BMW iX
Sized like a BMW X5, the new 2022 BMW iX is an electric midsize luxury SUV with enough space for five passengers and a driving range measuring about 300 miles. Engineered to aerodynamic standards, and built using ecologically conscious methods and materials, the BMW iX is geometrically shaped, inside and out. Next-generation electronics power the infotainment and safety systems and the iX is compatible with 200-kW DC fast chargers.
2021 Aston Martin Valhalla
Valhalla isn’t just the stuff of Norse legend—it’s the name of Aston Martin’s Valkyrie-inspired road car. Built around a turbocharged V-6 hybrid drive system, Aston has promised the Valhalla will surpass first-gen hypercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari in terms of power. Still, about two years from production, the Valhalla will borrow from Aston’s existing ultra-high-performance track cars, nabbing the Vulcan’s sealed oil system for better lubrication under g-load, while the chassis and bodywork are all carbon fiber. An adaptive suspension will be the key to helping the AM-RB 003 make the transition to roadworthy Valhalla.
Aston Martin’s future isn’t all supercars, however, and it’s not even all Aston Martin’s. Its Lagonda sub-brand is making a return, and it’s likely to do so first with something like the Lagonda All-Terrain Concept. We expect to learn more as 2022 draws nearer.
But the gang from Gaydon won’t leave it there. The next Vanquish will go mid-engine. Instead of a carbon-fiber chassis and body, expect bonded aluminum to be the main medium.
Honda Jazz
Now available to order, the new Jazz is a bit rounder while still offering much of the practicality for which the car is so well known. Jazz is not a new line of models and we can see a lot of Jazz sold at Shoppok, but the Japanese automaker seems to have a new release this 2021. The new version will be hybrid, and there’ll be a new Crosstar variant with raised ride height and more rugged styling. Look out for great deals on the current Honda Jazz in the next few months, with the new model expected in showrooms later in 2020 until early 2021.
