Thinking about buying a new car, but unsure what you want?
We’ve rounded up every car coming soon in 2023 and beyond, and whatever you’re after, there’s something here for everyone. We reveal what’s coming when – supply chain issues permitting – and what’s special about each car, starting with the cars arriving shortly, running through to cars we’re going to have to wait a bit longer for:
Mercedes EQS SUV – early 2023
This luxury SUV comes as standard with a massive 108kWh battery, which will allow you to drive up to 410 miles between recharges. The EQS SUV is also one of just two electric SUVs currently available with seven seats – the other being the Mercedes EQB. We expect the model to be sold globally.
Tesla Model S – early 2023
The Model S has been around since 2012, so some updates are in order especially as the EV space has got so much more competitive recently. Updates focus on the interior, with the portrait-orientated touchscreen infotainment system found in the previous version replaced by a 17.0in landscape unit that looks to be better integrated into the dashboard. Beyond the new interior, the big news is the introduction of a 1006bhp Plaid variant that can sprint from 0-62mph in a scarcely believable 1.9sec. We expect the model to be sold globally.
Jeep Grand Compass – early 2023
This extended version of the existing Jeep Compass seats seven and is likely to offer better off-road abilities compared with most large SUVs. Power is provided by a soon-to-arrive 1.5-litre e-Torque petrol engine or the existing 237bhp plug-in hybrid set-up. Expect generous passenger space inside, but boot space might be compromised by the third row of seats. We expect the model to be sold globally.
Audi Q9 – early 2023
This luxury SUV is set to eclipse the palatial Audi Q7 as the brand’s largest, most opulent car ever. What that means is seating for seven, with more space at the rear than the Land Rover Defender 110, as well a boot large enough to carry all the luggage you could ever need. Expect to pay a price comparable with posher versions of the new Range Rover. We expect the model to be sold globally.
Ford Mustang – early 2023
The next version of Ford’s revered coupe is likely to use an updated version of its 5.0-litre V8 engine, which offers either 443bhp or 453bhp. It might be given mild hybrid technology – which adds a hint of electrical assistance to boost fuel economy without adding heavy batteries – to reduce running costs. Photographs of a prototype version suggest that it will be offered as a convertible as well. We expect the model to be sold globally; indeed the Mustang is by some measures the world’s best selling sports car.
Skoda Superb – on sale 2023
There is a new Skoda Superb coming at the end of 2023, and despite talk of an estate version (which has already been subject to several months of testing), the saloon version has also been spotted being tested. Wearing a partial camouflaged livery, the Superb is expected to come as a plug-in hybrid, though it may be the final iteration before becoming fully electric. The flagship Skoda model will continue to compete against rivals such as the Mazda 6, Vauxhall Insignia, and the Volkswagen Passat on which it is based. It’ll be sold in all of Skoda’s markets, which are mainly in Europe.
Audi S4 Avant – on sale 2023
If you’re a fan of fast practical Audis, then there’s good news; the Audi S4 Avant is on its way. The executive car has already had a mid-cycle facelift so we can expect a new generation S4 Avant in 2023. Seen testing on the mountain roads in the Alps, the S4 is distinctly recognisable from its twin tailpipes on either side. Our predictions are that the new Audi S4 will come with 350bhp, that is slightly higher than the current model. We expect the model to be sold globally.
Ferrari SF90 Versione Speciale – on sale 2023
In 2019 Ferrari graced us with presence of the SF90 Stradale, but as with many Ferraris in the latter stages of the model lifecycle the SF90 is expecting a ‘hardcore’ version. The SF90 Versione Speciale, which translates from Italian as ‘special version’, is expected to be launched in September 2022 to be available for 2023.
The SF90 Versione Speciale is expected to have some changes to the aerodynamic styling, and a slightly larger helping of power than the SF90 Stradale. After the release of the SF90 Versione Speciale we can expect to see the SF90 Spider follow suit. We expect the model to be sold globally.
Porsche 911 S/T – on sale 2023
Since unveiling the Porsche 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design in 2020, Porsche have gone on to add the 911 Sport Classic to the Heritage Design model line-up. The newest model to join the line-up imminently is the 911 S/T. Inspired by the 1970s version of the 911 that went racing, the 2023 Porsche 911 S/T has been seen testing and looks to be based off the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring.
Visible differences to the GT3 Touring are the double-bubble roof and the panel that is incorporated into the bodywork behind the front wheels. The rear spoiler also features an extended lip, and the mesh engine cover can be seen wearing the heritage design plaque like on the 911 Sport Classic. We expect the model to be sold globally.
