Great cars coming in 2024 and beyond

Slide of We’ve rounded up every new car coming in 2024 and beyond, and whatever you’re after, there’s something here for everyone. We reveal what’s coming when and what’s special about each car. From V8s to mega-range electric models let's get stuck in; starting with the cars arriving shortly, running through to cars we’re going to have to wait a bit longer for. Cars are illustrated with a combination of spy shots and our own expert illustrations of what we believe they’ll look like: Slide of Hyundai Ioniq 7 Hyundai is making its first all-electric three-row SUV, and we expect it to be unveiled in June 2024. The Ioniq 7 is predicted to have autonomous driving capability. Slide of Land Rover Defender Octa Set for launch on July 3rd, Land Rover say the Defender Octa will be "the toughest, most capable, and luxurious Defender vehicle ever.” It is going to be limited to 1070 examples within the first year of production. It will have 6D air suspension from the SV and will use a twin-turbocharged, mild-hybrid 4.4-litre V8 from BMW.  Slide of Cadillac Escalade V The new Escalade was spotted completely devoid of camouflage gear for the first time recently. The new front end has a sleeker design with narrower lights leading to the edge of the bonnet. The black plastic trim around the grille is like that of an electric Escalade IQ. The largest changes appear to be in the interior. It has digital screens spanning the width of the dash with very little in the way of dials. Expect an autumn 2024 launch.   Slide of Audi A5 Avant In 2024, the Audi A4 model-line will be rebranded to A5 as Audi rethinks its branding for the hybrid era, designating internal-combustion-engined cars with odd numbers. Spotted testing at the Nürburgring ahead of its debut, the new A5’s styling is a clear evolution of the current model's, with more angular headlights and a larger, flatter, front grille.  Slide of Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Performance With ever tightening emission regulations it is likely this will be one of Mercedes’ final V8s.  The prototype photographed here has carbon-ceramic brakes and a larger air duct at the front compared to the outgoing model, giving it an aggressive look. Mercedes says the AMG GT63 Performance reaches 60 mph in a remarkable 2.7 seconds, making it the fastest-accelerating AMG production model of all time. A launch is expected very soon. Slide of BMW M5 Hybrid BMW’s M performance car division will give the seventh-generation BMW M5 a new hybrid drivetrain that is set to boost its reserves to “over 700bhp” and offer “limited electric drive compatibility”, a source close to the German car maker has confirmed.  Due on sale in late 2024, the new super-saloon is among a series of M models that will switch from a conventional petrol engine to plug-in hybrid power in a move that will provide it with a hike in power and performance. Slide of Audi SQ5 The all-new Audi SQ5 is approaching a launch in 2024 as the sportiest variant of the totally overhauled Q5 range. The third-generation version of Audi’s best-selling global model, the Q5, will also be one of the German car maker’s final new ICE cars. Before the German firm starts releasing only EVs from 2026, it will launch a new line of combustion engines compliant with the latest Euro 7 emissions regulations. Slide of Ferrari Roma V12 The current Ferrari Roma is only available with a 3.9-litre V8, but we believe a V12-powered variant may be on the way. The rear window as well as the third braking light has been modified so that this larger engine fits into this car. We hope we’ll see this car in 2024. Slide of BMW 1 Series F70 We believe this camouflaged BMW 1 Series is the new F70 version, being benchmarked alongside an uncamouflaged current 1 Series. Expect the new car in late 2024, with a range of conventional and hybrid engine options. Slide of Volkswagen Tiguan Up until now the only form of electrification the Volkswagen Tiguan has been subjected to is a plug-in hybrid, but the next generation model will be fully electric. Noticeably, the upcoming Tiguan features a brand-new grille design as an open grille will no longer be required. The Tiguan, which is set to arrive in 2024, will sit among the popular VW ID range and offer an alternative to the ID.4 crossover SUV. Testing is currently underway, and it remains to be seen how the Tiguan will perform in 2024. Slide of Aston Martin DBS successor A successor to the Aston Martin DBS is due to be launched by the end of this year. Photos of the first prototypes show sizeable differences to the current DBS. The side profile appears longer, has a noticeably wider grille and a chunkier rear end. The DBS successor is rumoured to revive the Vanquish nameplate and will serve as the flagship of Aston Martin's front-engine line-up. Slide of Lamborghini
