We have already seen most of what we can expect in terms of new models in 2022, and 2024 is expected to be even more interesting as a lot of carmakers bringing out brand new models from their portfolios. Here are some of the list of the top cars that will be launched in 2024 that should make you most excited.
Ford Mustang S650:
This is the last year of the current, S550-generation Ford Mustang. In 2024, the next generation of pony cars will be launched and it will be going to feature a hybrid powertrain. Pedro Mara Maradei who is an automotive engineer and is also involved in the development of the next-generation Mustang confirmed the news last year. The car will have both the 2.3 liter EcoBoost and 5.0-liter Coyote V-8, which will be a part of the hybrid system. This could even mean all-wheel drive for the S650 Mustang. There is a comeback of the 10-speed automatic, but nothing is been disclosed about the manual version yet. Meanwhile, Ford is keeping their mouth shut about the extent of hybridization. But it will certainly go to be a plug-in or a full hybrid.
Porsche Macan EV:
Porsche is one of the most interesting cars at the moment. The company’s work on synthetic fuels proves that it is still fully not committed to a fully electric car. But Porsche still plans to make a profit on the increasingly popular EV segment, by expanding its EV lineup. Macan is the very first model to make the transition from internal ignition to electricity starting in 2024. As we all know that internal combustion-powered Macan is getting canceled in 2024 which totally confirms that Porsche’s compact SUV is purely electric.
BMW X8:
Even today there are plenty of new models that rely on internal combustion engines, one is BMW. While it is seen that many have focused on EVs, hybrids, and fuel economy of 2024. Though BMW has this model of XM electric SUV in 2024, it’s going to give us another full-size SUV model named BMW X8. BMW always offers a fastback version of all its SUV models and the model X8 just fits into that category. Like X7, X8 will be charged by a variety of inline-six and V-8 engines, some of which are a part of the mild-hybrid system. X8 comes at the cost of some cargo space and third-row seats. BMW X8 will be disclosed towards the end of 2022, and its sale will commence in 2024.
Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06:
C8 Corvette model is the first mid-engine production Corvette and is also one of the hottest sports cars which are currently on sale, now it’s hotter version C8 Z06 is on its debut. The 6.2-liter pushrod V-8 has been discarded for a Ferrari noise,5.5litre, V-8 with a flat-plane conrod. This model C8 Z06 is extremely well for 670 horsepower at 8,400 RPM and 470 pound-feet(637 Nm) at 6,300 RPM. The gearbox is an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. The production of this model is scheduled to start in the summer of 2022, and the first batch of cars will reach customers around 2024.
Hyundai Ioniq7:Â Â
Hyundai is making a good impression in the market nowadays in terms of electrification, and its sub-brand, Ioniq, is about to add a third model to its lineup. After Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6, the Korean EV brand is all set to bring out the Ioniq 7 which is a full-size, three-row SUV that would sit at the top of the model lineup. The model will offer 350 Kw rapid-charge capability that will allow for 62 miles of range in just five minutes.
