The automotive industry is arguably heading into an
interesting direction with crossovers steadily taking the reign. Furthermore,
every automaker worth its salt has already started implementing an
electrification strategy that should start bearing fruit come MY 2020. In that
regard, even the near future 2020 new cars are radiating the kind of excitement
that would otherwise be expected from vehicles scheduled to arrive at a much
later date.
2020 Chevrolet Corvette (mid-engined)
The father of the Corvette, Zora Arkus-Duntov’s dream of
engineering a mid-engined ‘Vette might finally come to fruition after almost a quarter of a century since his death. After years of rumors and speculation,
the GM has finally decided the time is right for a different perspective. Their
hallmark sports car will thus benefit from significantly different aerodynamics
and weight distribution which should help it raise its performance curve to new
heights.
2020 Aston Martin DBX (Varekai)
The British automaker is one of the last remaining major
luxury and ultra-luxury carmakers without a crossover/SUV in its portfolio.
This is about to get rectified soon as their long-anticipated DBX crossover is
about to arrive during MY 2020.
2020 Polestar 1 and 2
Established in 1996 as Flash Engineering and rebranded
Polestar in 2005 – Volvo’s performance division is finally becoming a brand of
its own after being purchased by the Swedes in 2015. Like its parent company, Polestar will
emphasize on pragmatic luxury, safety, and performance, but unlike Volvo, it’ll
be focusing exclusively on hybrid and electric vehicles from now on.
2020 Ford Bronco
Back by popular demand according to blue oval brass – the
iconic nameplate returns in 2020 after two and a half decades of absence. The
2020 Ford Bronco will be neither the compact off-roading 4X4 SUV of the early
days nor the bulky full-sizer from the SUV’s later years. Instead, it’ll be a
contemporary intermediate underpinned by the Ranger pickup platform.
2020 Porsche Taycan
First unveiled at the 2015 Frankfurt motor show as the
Mission E concept, the first all-electric Porsche vehicle is finally set to
appear in 2020. The high-performance EV has been given a production name which
doesn’t sound particularly pleasing. Roughly translated to a “lively young
horse,” the Taycan name does fit well with everything the German company stands
for, though. After all, their logo depicts a prancing horse upon the Free
People’s State of Württemberg crest and, considering it’s a Porsche, the Taycan
will definitely be “lively.”
