Kia Niro

The Kia Niro has been fully redesigned for 2023. This five-passenger hybrid SUV has a potent four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor to create 139 horsepower. Adding a battery to make the plug-in hybrid model increases the horsepower to 180. The PHEV features a 33-mile electric-only driving range rated at 108 MPGe combined for superior efficiency

Mercedes-Benz EQE

If you would rather go all-electric, check out the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE. The five-passenger sedan is filled with high-tech and luxurious features. Multiple powertrain options exist, starting with a 288-horsepower single-motor rear-wheel drive configuration. If you want the dual-motor all-wheel-drive model, the horsepower doesn't increase, but there's a massive boost in torque. The EQE 500 4MATIC is rated for 402 horsepower, while the Mercedes-AMG EQE pushes out 617 horsepower. You can also add another package to boost this to 738 horsepower. At most, the cars drive up to 305 miles per charge.

Toyota GR Corolla

Toyota took the Corolla hatchback and tuned it to provide more performance. The 2023 GR Corolla comes equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine that pushes out 300 horsepower. It also features a fun six-speed manual transmission and standard all-wheel drive. The base model includes many features, such as ambient lighting, push-button start, and an 8" infotainment display. 

Chevrolet Corvette Z06

The Chevy Corvette Z06 has been reintroduced for the 2023 model year. This two-seater sports car is sure to give a thrill. The Z06 includes a 670-horsepower 5.5-liter V8 engine mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This rear-wheel-drive model also includes leather upholstery and a ten-speaker sound system.

Cadillac Celestiq

The Cadillac Celestiq will be released in 2024. This high-tech EV has a sweeping roof matched with smooth lines for a head-turning presence. The interior of this SUV is just as beautiful as the exterior, with its 55" digital dashboard, bright leather, and bucket seating. When this EV is released, you can custom-create it like a Rolls-Royce.

Honda Civic Type R

The 2023 Honda Civic Type R hatchback is based on the 11th-generation model, pushing out 315 horsepower from the turbo-four. This front-wheel drive model utilizes a six-speed manual transmission and 19" wheels covered in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Inside the cabin, you get a 9" infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. 

Kia EV9

Also arriving as a 2024 model is the brand-new Kia EV9. This EV SUV features nearly the exact dimensions of the Telluride and shares a platform with the Hyundai Ioniq 7. You can choose a model with rear- or all-wheel drive, with the AWD providing a 379 horsepower dual-motor powertrain. The 99.8-kWh offers up to 300 miles of driving range when using a single motor. Even better, this SUV can tow up to 5,000 pounds. 

Mercedes EQG

The Mercedes-Benz EQG is the electric version of the G-Class, designed to provide high-class luxury to anyone desiring opulence.
