It’s shaping up to be a great year for car fans and tech fans alike, in 2025. And automakers are really going for it, from electric powerhouses to high performance gasoline cars. The 2025 lineup has got to cover whether you're into speed, luxury or just want an eco-friendly ride. So let’s take a look at what new cars you will not want to miss out this year.
Due to the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), it’s among the biggest trends in 2025. They’ve been blowing up for a while now, but finally, this year they’ve truly emerged. Despite evs’ future promises, we’re already seeing evs here and now making an impact. It’s showing off just how far the tech has come on the 2025 models. First, the 2025 Tesla Model S Plaid is a beast. And, as good as it is, it’s still beating the EV scene with this model and indeed it has insane acceleration and a 450 mile range on a single charge. It’s pretty much a spaceship on wheels. Then there’s the Lucid Air Sapphire, another luxury EV that’s gaining attention with its extreme power and eco-friendly vibe. And don’t overlook the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT—it’s a speed demon and now boasts a bit more range.

And the good news is there are plenty of affordable electric options hitting the market not everyone can afford luxury Teslas or Porsches. Here, the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV makes a great example. Chevy is making affordable EVs with solid range AND modern features. It’s perfect for anyone looking to switch to electric without overspending. Ford’s in on the action too with the 2025 Ford Explorer Electric. It’s the classic Explorer we all know and love, now fully electric. It’s spacious, rugged, and eco-friendly. Plus, its range and price make it a strong competitor to the Chevy Equinox.
EVs aren’t going to replace performance cars and luxury sedans, just because they are stealing the limelight. The slick and fast 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT is a high performance coupe that enters your garage. They certainly hit the nail right on the head by having Mercedes go out and actually just redesign the whole thing so it’s lighter, faster, but still that comfortable luxury feeling inside. All the right ways the V8 engine roars rings that gasoline engines are not yet dead and still have life in them. The all new M4 CSL takes BMW into 2025, bringing the heat too. It’s built for track days, with a twin turbos inline six engine and lightweight materials. If you enjoy the thrill of driving, this car will make the list.
And it’s cool that hybrid tech isn’t all just about saving gas anymore. They’re using it to add in performance like never seen before, even in sports cars. Take the 2025 Ferrari SF90 Stradale, for example. This plug-in hybrid supercar packs over 900 horsepower. Yep, you read that right. Ferrari is using hybrid tech to take performance to new levels. Then there’s the 2025 McLaren Artura, which combines hybrid power with McLaren’s lightweight design. Its all-electric range might be small, but it uses the electric motor to boost acceleration. It’s like McLaren took the best of both worlds—electric and gas—and created an epic driving experience.
While we can’t really talk about the 2025 lineup without mentioning SUVs, those who travel to select dealerships in January will be presented with something new and exciting. Automakers may be increasing their game, but they’re beloved for their space, comfort and utility. Absolutely gorgeous is the 2025 Range Rover Velar. But it features an interior that feels like a first class lounge, and it is sleek with cutting edge tech. This one really was put in by Range Rover and it shows. The kind of SUV that makes you want to just hit the road for fun. Then there’s the 2025 Audi Q8 e-tron, the next big thing in Audi’s electric SUV lineup. It’s spacious, luxurious, and fully electric. Audi is pushing the boundaries of what we expect from electric SUVs, ensuring they’re not just practical but also a blast to drive. Plus, the new tech inside is mind-blowing—think augmented reality displays and tons of driver assistance features.
For those who need something a bit tougher, 2025 isn’t leaving you behind. Trucks are evolving just like everything else, and the new models show that. The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning is still the king of electric trucks as we approach 2023. It’s got everything people love about the F-150: toughness, reliability and power, with an electric twist. The range and towing capacity are very impressive, plus the smart features combined with it being cool just make it that much better. If electric isn’t your thing, the 2025 Ram 1500 TRX is still proving that gas-powered trucks are here to stay. It’s got a supercharged V8 engine that’s built for off-road adventures. Ram made sure it’s still the truck you want if you’re ready to tackle some tough terrain.
Autonomous driving is also making progress into 2025. For now we’re not at the point where you can take a nap behind the wheel (I’d really love that) but things do seem to be improving. The leader in the game, at least for now, is Tesla’s Full Self Driving (FSD), but others are catching up. The 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ will feature GM's Super Cruise, which is probably the closest competitor to Tesla’s FSD. It’s not fully autonomous, but it’s hands-free on certain highways, and the comfort and control it offers are impressive. If you do a lot of long-distance driving, these tech features will make your life way easier.
Now that they’ve got all of the electric and hybrid options, you might wonder if traditional gas powered cars are headed for extinction. Not just yet. EVs are definitely going to be the future, but in 2025 there’s still a lot of gas cars. Gasoline engines are tweaked by automakers to be as efficient and powerful as they've ever been. For example, the 2025 Subaru WRX STI. It’s still rocking that turbocharged Boxer engine fans love so much, and it’s still dishing up the thrills, as we crave them. Gasoline cars may be fading slowly, but they’re definitely not gone.
