This year looks to be a pretty exciting year for new cars. While there are the usual crossovers and everyday vehicles, there are a good number of fun-to-drive cars and most importantly, EVs. So here’s a list of every new or updated vehicle coming in 2023 for all you car buyers out there.
Acura is answering the enthusiast’s call by giving us the Civic Type R, except its an Integra. And I don’t mind at all.
After a bit of infighting, Alfa Romeo will be receiving a much needed third model in the form of the Tonale small crossover. It’ll be a plug-in hybrid, and Alfa says it’ll be capable of driving over 30 miles on electricity alone.
BMW redesigned the 7 Series for 2023 with love-it-or run-from-it styling. The bigger news is the availability of an all-new EV model called i7.
BMW quickly redesigned the X7 for 2023, giving it the same front fascia as the 7 Series. Engine choices mirror the 7 Series as well save for the hybrid and EV setups. The X7 M760i will be the one to get with its 4.5 second 0-60 MPH time.
BMW is very aware that not everyone will like the XM. The styling is polarizing. But it’s an impressive machine that BMW says is the first vehicle engineered by the brand’s M performance division to showcase a new generation of power and efficiency.
With looks that are actually growing on me, the new M2 will be available this spring. With its light weight and over 450 HP, BMW is estimating this pocket rocket will be able to hit 60 MPH in under four seconds.
Cadillac is attempting to be the standard of the world again with the Celestiq EV ultra-luxury sedan. Set to go into production at the end of the year, the Celestiq will be handbuilt at a facility specifically made for the Celestiq.
Chevy is coming for the world’s best supercars with the Corvette Z06. GM engineers went to work on making a masterpiece of an engine. Its 5.5L V8 making nearly 700 HP makes it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 ever made.
The Colorado received a much needed redesign for the 2023 model year. With a variety of cab configurations, trims and options, everyone from the lowly pool cleaning company to the guy that wants a off-road desert runner can choose what they want.
The Trax received a major redesign for the 2024 model year, going from cute ute Hertz rental to something that people may actually want to buy.

The Ferrari Purosangue made its debut in the fall of 2022. But Ferrari has allegedly stopped taking orders for it already due to high demand. So it’s coming, but if you have the means, you probably won’t be able to get one.

Ford updated its Super Duty lineup for 2023. With more capability than ever before, including a massive 6.7L V8 with over 1,000 lb-ft of torque, it should get the ball rolling on yet another heavy duty truck war between the big three.

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is the next striking model in Hyundai’s Ioniq EV lineup. While it looks like it would be a liftback sedan, the Ioniq 6 has a conventional trunk.
The Kona receives a major futuristic redesign for 2024. It’s a bigger vehicle in every way than the outgoing model, growing in both width and length. More details about the new Kona will come available later this year.
Kia’s smallest crossover gets refreshed for the new model year. Other than the updated styling, most changes are in new or updated features or exterior colors.
Lexus gets its own version of the Toyobaru bZ4X/Solterra in 2023. Styling on the RZ is more subdued than its platform mates. The RZ almost comes across as some kind of alternate version of the RX.
Lincoln’s best-selling vehicle gets a redesign for 2023 that makes it look like a mini Aviator. While engines are largely carryover, the Corsair does gain new features.
Maserati’s long running GranTurismo gets redesigned for 2024. While there’s a more powerful V6 engine in place of the V8, the big news is the Folgore EV.

The Mercedes AMG C63 S E Performance is a hell of a feat of performance engineering. The downside is that all those performance goodies make this thing weigh as much as a last-gen S63.
Polestar’s third model is a crossover the brand expects to make up the bulk of its sales. It’ll do battle against Volvo’s own EX90 EV crossover.
Subaru is still trying its hand at small cars with the new 2024 Impreza. While there’s no STi this time around, Subaru gave enthusiasts a nod by giving the Impreza a performance RS trim. There’s no sedan this time around either; all Imprezas are hatch only.
