Future Cars: Hitting The Roads

The future of the automobile industry is innovative and exciting with some long waited super-intelligent cars, electric cars, some of the best SUV’s and high-tech cars waiting to be hitting the roads.

Here are the best of a lot coming in the near future from super expensive cars to the best SUVs and from a mid-size luxury sedan to the fastest car in the world.

2020 TOYOTA SUPRA

Release: The Supra to be available later in 2019.
Price: The sports coupe is expected to start at just under $50,000.

Being made alongside the new 2019 BMW Z4, the new Supra will be powered by BMW’s turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, which produces 335 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic is the only available transmission. The two-seater will feature BMW’s iDrive controller and central touch screen. A large, single digital gauge shows the pertinent performance information, like the tachometer.

The Chevrolet Corvette, which should be one of the Supra’s main rivals, produces 455 horsepower from its base engine. The Porsche Cayman makes 300 horsepower in its base configuration.

2020 POLESTAR 1

Release: You can order the Polestar 1 now.
Price: The starting price is $156,500

The Polestar 1 is a two-door plug-in hybrid coupe. It can run on electric batteries hidden between the front seats and in the trunk, or it can run on a supercharged and turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood. Or it can run on both. That combination makes for 600 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque.— to make a Porsche 911 Turbo envious. And it’s priced accordingly.

Part of the reason for the high price is simply its exclusivity. Polestar will make only 1,500 examples over three years. Each vehicle is built and hand-assembled at the company’s production facility in Chengdu, China.

Each model comes standard with a huge range of premium features, from luxury to safety, and there are no additional packages to that. The only option is matte paint, which runs $5,000. The Polestar 1’s carbon fiber body reduces the car’s weight by about 500. That weight reduction improves performance and makes up for the heavy batteries in the vehicle.

Can it drive in fully electric mode?

Yes. One of the four driving modes in the Polestar 1 is called ‘Pure’, allowing to run the car solely from the onboard batteries to stay in electric mode for everyday driving.

2020 TESLA ROADSTER

Status: Currently taking reservations
Price: The Roadster will start at around $200,000

The performance of the new Roadster is the primary focus since the Roadster is in the supercar/hypercar category.

• 7,376 pound-feet of torque
• 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds (with optional SpaceX thrusters), making it the quickest production car in the world.
• 0-100 mph in 4.2 seconds.
• Quarter mile in 8.8 seconds, which beats every other production car.
• 250+ mph top speed.

The Roadster will hit 60 mph in 1.9 seconds, according to Tesla. The electric coupe will have a top speed that exceeds 250 mph and a range of 620 miles. The Roadster is the first supercar which offers to seat for four – most just have two seats.

2020 CADILLAC CT5

Release: Early 2020
Price: Base Price:  CT5-V: $50,000 (est)

Cadillac has introduced a number of new models over the past few years, including the XT4 subcompact SUV last year, the XT5 midsize SUV in 2017, and the CT6 in 2016. For 2020 they’re continuing this trend with the all-new CT5 luxury small car. With a fastback design, the CT5 looks to combine the latest in driving technology with a presence that speaks luxury.

Powering the CT5 will be a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It comes mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. For those who wish for a little more power, the CT5 offers an upgraded twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder that produces 335 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque – not bad for a small luxury car. Rear-wheel drive comes standard on the CT5; all-wheel drive is available.

PORCHE TAYCAN

Release: Early-mid 2020
Price: The base Taycan is speculated to come in $75,000 or higher.

The all-electric Taycan, with a range of up to 250 miles, is almost here and will be seen on roads in 2020, perhaps even late 2019. Because its official debut remains some months away, final specs remain undecided, but we do know there will be three versions of the sedan with a wagon to come later.

The base Taycan is rear-drive only, sports an 80-kW-hr battery, and is powered by a choice of 240-kW (322-hp) or 280-kW (375-hp) motors.

Powered by a 93.4-kilowatt-hour battery that motivates two synchronous electric motors (one upfront, the other driving a two-speed multi-plate clutch gearbox at the rear), the Taycan accelerates with an effortless forward motion that is easily and accurately modulated with the right pedal. There are four drive modes – Normal, Sport, Sport Plus, and Range (which maximizes efficiency) – and first-gear starts are reserved for the two most aggressive settings.

2020 TOYOTA COROLLA

Release: Spring, 2020
Price: Expect the new Corolla to start around $20,000

Keeping in line with Toyota’s recent move toward advanced safety technology, the new Corolla will feature a multitude of standard safety features, including Toyota’s Safety Connect, which will alert authorities if your Corolla has been in an accident. The Corolla also features Toyota’s Safety Sense 2, which has lane keep assist, a pre-collision system, automatic high beams, and road sign assist, among other features.

The new Corolla will feature the same 1.8-liter four-cylinder that’s in the 2019 Corolla. That engine produces 139 horsepower and 126 pound-feet of torque. That’s not much, but it gets the job done for a compact car. There’s also an optional 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque.
