The shelves will be overflowing with new vehicles next year.
Automakers are introducing a flood of electric vehicles to gauge customer demand and meet onerous government regulations forcing electrification. But they aren’t taking their foot off the gas pedal in producing parallel, profitable, petrol-powered products. Start-up EV automakers also are elbowing into the new landscape, resulting in more brands as well as more models for you to shop.
America is the world’s richest consumer market and there is something for everyone from off-road trucks and on-track hellions to luxury chariots. New car prices have soared in recent years, so get out your checkbook because 65% of new models start at more than $40K. Depending on your budget, you can buy anything from a $21,745 Nissan Sentra to a $34,995 Chevy Equinox EV to an $80,000 Ram 1500 Ramcharger pickup to a $340,000 Cadillac Celestiq EV and a seven-figure Alfa 33 Stradale supercar.

2024 Porsche Macan EV

Stuffed with a similar hybrid powertrain as Camry, Crown Signia is the SUV version of the large Crown sedan. As the fancy name suggests, Insignia comes with a more upscale interior than the typical Toyota.
2024 Toyota Land Cruiser

2024 Volvo EX30
Price: $36,245
At an affordable $36K for a lux-EV, the Made-in-China EX30 combines Tesla and Scandinavian design. A single console screen controls the interior, and the ute is full of typically clever Volvo storage options for phones and purses.
