We’re all still on the wild ride that began in earnest 18 months ago, but if nothing else, a lot of things sure do feel different right now than they did at this time last year. We’ll save talk about challenges faced by new car dealers and customers for our Buyer’s Guide issue next month; right now, it’s time to look toward what’s beyond the horizon.

Whether you’re most interested in peering ahead to the near term or further down the road, we have you covered with all of our latest intel on cars of the future. And with info that breaks down more than 50 of the most noteworthy vehicles set to arrive within the next few years—from the continuation of some of the world’s most famous conventional gasoline-powered models to a quickly growing fleet of EVs—there’s sure to be more than a few cars here that catch your eye.

So, get reading, and look forward to the time when the recent unpleasantness will hopefully be even further in our rearview and the models featured on these pages hit the streets. They’ll all be here before you know it.

2023 Aston Martin DBX AMR

WHAT IT IS: A high-performance version of Aston Martin’s stylish SUV. The DBX AMR is aimed squarely at Lamborghini’s Urus.

WHY IT MATTERS: Aston Martin’s first SUV is already a hit, quickly accounting for close to half the marque’s total sales despite being launched in the middle of the pandemic. New Aston Martin CEO Tobias Moers believes DBX sales could reach 5,000 vehicles per year, so he has made expanding the DBX family a priority. As such, the DBX AMR won’t be the only addition to the DBX lineup: Two hybrid models are also coming within two years.
