2013 SUVs & Trucks

2013 Audi Q3: Volkswagen’s upscale division has a sporty new compact crossover SUV that’s earned good reviews in Europe, but may not come to America. The Q3 is a premium proposition, but it’s nearly as small as a Mini Countryman and it’s likely to cost more than Audi’s larger Q5.

2013 BMW X1: BMW fields its first baby SUV with a spinoff of its new 1-Series compact car. With smooth 6-cylinder power, available all-wheel drive, and "ultimate driving machine" cachet, it could be the new star of a fast-growing market class.

2013 Chevrolet Colorado: Chevrolet’s compact pickup is fully redesigned with sharper styling, new features, and slightly larger size. Though key details are still under wraps, the new Colorado will face only import-brand rivals, but success depends on winning over lots of big-truck buyers.

2013 Ford Escape: A popular compact SUV is redesigned within a new global vehicle family headed by the next-generation Focus compact car. The result should be a trimmer, fuel-thriftier Escape with international style and more premium features.

2013 Land Rover Range Rover: The British royal family’s favorite SUV loses serious weight in search of higher mpg and lower emissions. The new-generation Range Rover also promises extra interior space despite a more-rakish but still-stately appearance.

2013 Mazda CX-5: Mazda finally redesigns its compact SUV with “soul of motion” styling and new high-efficiency powertrains. CX-5 replaces Tribute, whose Ford Escape sister is being redesigned too, but will be much “more Mazda” despite likely having some Ford DNA.

2013 Sports Cars

The 2013 Volkswagen Bluesport should share its basic design with a new car from Porsche. The Volkswagen Concept Bluesport is shown. See pictures of the 2012 Porsche Boxster.

2013 Jaguar XE: Jaguar’s next true sports car is finally on the way, with V6 power, lightweight engineering, and a bodacious body. The XE is still subject to changes, but current intel points to a strong new rival for premium two-seaters like BMW Z4 and Porsche Boxster.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class: This posh 2-seat hard-top convertible gets advanced construction tech from Mercedes’ SLS AMG supercar and drops some 400 pounds for more go on less gas. The redesigned SL-Class also boasts fresh styling, new powertrains and--inevitably--more gadgets than ever.

2013 Porsche Boxster: Porsche’s mid-engine convertible powers up for better performance, and a first-time 4-cylinder option is on deck for better fuel economy. The redesigned Boxster won’t look very different, but prices surely will.

2013 Porsche Boxster 356: Volkswagen now calls the shots at Porsche and is eyeing a new 4-cylinder sports car to slot in below the Boxster. This “new 356” won’t be cheap, but it looms as another profit-plumper for Europe’s largest automaker.

2013 Scion FR-S: Toyota's Scion brand is slated to receive a low-dollar, high-mpg Mazda MX-5-fighter with rear-wheel-drive and a Subaru powertrain. Goliath teaming up with David? Yup, and it could be just the start of a beautiful friendship.

2013 Subaru BRZ: Subaru teams with Toyota on a compact sporty coupe with dashing looks and a competition-bred chassis for “drifting” devotees and other young hotbloods. Like sister Scion FR-S, the BRZ is rear-drive only, which could be tough to explain for a brand synonymous with AWD.

2013 Volkswagen BlueSport Roadster: It seems VW’s long-promised sports car will finally happen. Patterned on the recent BlueSport concept, the mid-engine 2-passenger ragtop shapes up as affordable driving fun with high mpg and low emissions. Too bad it’s a few years away.

2013 Luxury Cars

The 2013 Lamborghini Estoque would be the company's first production 4-door sedan. Click here for more Lamborghini pictures.

2013 Audi A6: Audi remixes its midsize sedan with ingredients fresh and familiar, hoping to close the sales gap with class leaders BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The redesigned A6 will be larger but a bit lighter, which should improve mpg, performance, and handling. A high-performance S6 should also debut. But will a gas-electric hybrid A6 come to America too?

2013 BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe: BMW’s 6-Series line adds a “4-door coupe” to answer the Audi A7 and Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. With showcar styling and improvements shared with the latest 2-door 6s, the Gran Coupe could be the new glamour star for the world’s top-selling premium vehicle brand.
