It’s no secret that SUVs are extremely popular. That also means that the segment is highly competitive, and as such, automakers are constantly changing their product lineups to attract buyers. One doesn’t have to look far to find a slew of new or updated models, and we’ve got you covered with that.
Among the many new or updated SUVs waiting to hit the market, we’ve got a list of 20 that look particularly promising. Whether you’re looking for style, features, power, mileage, or a combination of the above, there are dozens of new crossovers and SUVs to look forward to.
Some will be available in just a few months, while others won’t be available for years. But no matter what you’re looking for in an SUV, we’re sure there will be a few on this list that will catch your eye. And your wait will be worth it.
Aston Martin Offroader
Release Date: TBD
Aston Martin is reportedly looking to make the DBX a Land Rover Defender rival. The automaker is still considering design proposals and wants to capitalize on the SUV’s success. Internally, the car is being called “Project Rambo,” and Aston is rumored to be planning to build just 2,500 of the rugged off-roader. It could also use the same 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 that powers the Mercedes-AMG G63, which produces 577 horsepower.
BMW Vision New Class SUV
Release Date: 2025
BMW’s electrified future lies on the Neue Klasse platform. The Vision Neue Klasse X concept debuted last month and previewed the electric crossovers the German automaker is expected to see in the coming years. It features a familiar design language and a cabin with visible buttons. The concept is likely a preview of the future X3, with its styling likely to influence other upcoming models. The Neue Klasse cars will use BMW’s sixth-generation eDrive system and 800-volt architecture.
Cadillac Escalade IQ
Release Date: 2024
Cadillac is leading General Motors into its electric future, which includes adding batteries and motors to the iconic Escalade. It rides on GM’s scalable Ultium platform that underpins vehicles from other brands, with the same 800-volt architecture that powers the GMC Hummer EV. The Cadillac can produce up to 750 horsepower in Velocity Max mode, propelling the big SUV to 60 mph in under 5.0 seconds. Pricing starts at around $130,000.
Cadillac Optic
Release Date: 2025
Next to the Escalade in Cadillac’s lineup is the Optiq. It will be the brand’s smallest EV when it arrives after its bigger siblings go on sale. It should be about the same size as the Chevrolet Equinox EV since both ride on GM’s Ultium platform. Cadillac will likely offer the Optiq in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations and with either 210 or 290 horsepower, which would be on par with the Chevy.
GV90 Incident
Release Date: TBD
There have been rumors that Genesis would launch a large SUV for years. However, it never materialized. However, we may be closer than ever to such a model if the Neolun concept is any indication. Genesis revealed it last month with just two rows of seats, but the production version will likely have up to three rows. It will compete with other large luxury SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz GLS, so expect more information on the upcoming model later this year.
Hyundai Ioniq 7/9
Release Date: 2025
The Ioniq Seven concept, which Hyundai may call the Ioniq 9 when it goes into production, will serve as the Kia EV9’s equivalent. The three-row SUV will share the same platform as the Kia, likely sharing the same battery and electric motor configuration. Hyundai hasn’t officially announced when the car will arrive, but all signs point to it debuting this year before going on sale sometime in mid-2025.
Scout Jeep
Release Date: 2024
The Jeep Recon will be the brand’s second electric vehicle to arrive this year, and it’s the more rugged of the two. It has a boxy design reminiscent of the Wrangler, but it’s not a replacement for the popular off-roader. It rides on the same STLA Large chassis as the Wagoneer S and will likely have the same powertrain. It’s set to enter its first full sales year in 2025, but it could launch and go on sale before the year is out.
Jeep Wagoneer S
Release Date: 2024
The Wagoneer S will be Jeep’s first electric vehicle. It will also be the brand’s fastest model, with 600 horsepower. The electric SUV is expected to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and ride on Stellantis’ STLA Large platform. Inside, it will have up to four screens on the dashboard, including one for the passenger. Sales are set to begin in late 2024.
Kia EV3 Car
Release Date: 2025 (US)
The Kia EV3 will be the brand’s smallest electric product. It will have two battery pack options (at least in Europe) with either 58.0 kilowatt-hours or 81.4 kilowatt-hours and around 200 horsepower. The tiny EV will be coming to the U.S., but we likely won’t see it until at least 2025. However, it could cost as little as $30,000 when it does arrive in the United States.
Lamborghini Lanzador
Release Date: 2028
The Lanzador will be Lamborghini’s first electric vehicle. The concept the automaker unveiled last year, a 1,341-horsepower 2+2, will compete with the likes of the Ferrari Purosangue and Rolls-Royce Spectre once it goes on sale. The car won’t be available for another four years, so Lamborghini hasn’t detailed how it will make that much power, but it will feature a high-performance battery pack and two electric motors, giving it all-wheel drive and a “long range.”
Clear Gravity
Release Date: Late 2024
The Lucid Gravity is the EV brand’s first SUV. It debuted in production form last year, but we likely won’t see it in dealerships until later this year. The Lucid Gravity promises up to 440 miles of range on the top trim and a starting price of under $80,000. It will also have three rows of seating.
Nissan Leaf
Release Date: 2026
The Nissan Leaf is due for a major revival in the next few years. An all-new model is on the way, and it will take its styling cues from the 2021 Chill-Out concept—a sleek crossover with a sloping roofline and a simple fascia. The Leaf will ditch its compact hatchback design. Nissan hasn’t provided any details about the engine and battery, but it could borrow hardware from the Aryia, which slots below it in the lineup.
Rivian R1X Car
Release Date: 2026
Rivian introduced several new products this year, including the new R3X. The launch of the small, rugged crossover/hatchback along with the trademark filing for the R1X suggests Rivian will continue to expand its product lineup with an SUV and the off-road-oriented R1 pickup. There are rumors that the company will refresh the R1 lineup later this year, which would provide an opportunity to introduce new trims.
Rivian R2 Car
Release Date: 2026
The next new Rivan model to go on sale is the smaller, more affordable R2. The SUV will start at $45,000, with the brand’s signature styling cues. The SUV will have one, two, or three electric motors, with a single-motor setup driving the rear wheels. Two- and three-motor configurations drive all four wheels, and the most powerful version will be capable of propelling the R2 to 60 mph in under three seconds.
Scout Electric SUV
Release Date: 2026
There’s still a lot we don’t know about the first vehicle to arrive as part of the Scout revival, other than the fact that it will be fully electric and ride on its own platform. That’s not to say the platform couldn’t be used for other vehicles under the Volkswagen Group umbrella, but the Bronco/Wrangler competitor will be designed from the ground up as an off-roader. We could see a prototype debut later this year, but the long-term plan calls for a production version to arrive in 2026. With demand for electric vehicles plummeting, don’t be surprised if that date is pushed back even further.
Tesla Model Y
Release Date: 2025
The world’s best-selling EV is getting a refresh. When exactly that will happen remains to be seen, though. Europe will likely see the new crossover later this year, but 2025 is when U.S. buyers will get their hands on the new Model Y, which we expect to see some minor styling changes inside and out similar to those seen on the recently refreshed Model 3. For now, you can get the new rear-wheel-drive Model Y Long Range with an EPA-estimated range of 320 miles and a zero-to-60 mph time of around 6.5 seconds. Pricing starts at $46,630 including shipping.
Toyota 4Runner Car
Release Date: Late 2024
Debuting in early April as a 2025 model, the first new 4Runner in 15 years shares its platform with the Tacoma. That means it also shares its powertrain options, namely a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an i-Force Max hybrid setup that adds an electric motor to the mix. Either opt for the 326-horsepower hybrid or the standalone 278-horsepower engine, all through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The new Trailhunter trim looks especially cool for off-grid adventurers, but you’ll have to pay more than the $42,100 base price to get it. The new 4Runner won’t go on sale until later this year.
Toyota FJ Cruiser
Release Date: TBD
The FJ Cruiser name has been bandied about a lot, and in August 2023, we may get a glimpse of a new name. The boxy little SUV was previewed at the 2024 Land Cruiser launch, but there’s no official word on a production schedule. The FJ Cruiser name hasn’t even been confirmed, though Toyota recently filed a trademark for it. Either way, the evidence suggests something is coming in the FJ world, and when it does arrive, expect something that sits below the Land Cruiser with either a plug-in hybrid or fully electric powertrain.
Volkswagen ID.Buzz
Release Date: Late 2024
It’s hard to believe, but the ID. Buzz still isn’t available in the United States. That will change later this year with a longer model that will offer buyers either a single- or dual-motor layout. In single-motor trim, the ID. Buzz makes 282 horsepower. The dual-motor version has 330 hp, but all will have seating for seven. Pricing is still a mystery, but we expect it to start around $50,000.
Volvo EX90 Car
Release Date: Mid 2024
Volvo’s large electric SUV was originally supposed to debut in late 2022, but delays have pushed the production launch to mid-2024. The three-row vehicle is Volvo’s people-carrying flagship, riding on the same company’s SPA2 platform as the Polestar 3. A 111.0-kilowatt-hour battery pack powers two electric motors, producing 510 horsepower in the top trim. It has a maximum range of 300 miles, and when the EX90 finally hits dealerships, its starting price will be $76,695.
