Acura ILX
Base Price: $29,500*
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: After its extensive 2016 refresh, we don’t expect any significant changes to the 2018 Acura ILX. An optional A-Spec package adds a sporty bodykit, 18-inch wheels, and suede seat inserts. Although a 2016 ILX A-Spec we tested wasn’t as quick as some of its competitors, we liked the smooth engine and transmission and the quiet and well-appointed cabin. We expect Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to join the option list soon.
Also Consider: Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class, Audi A3, Buick Regal.
Sum Up: Acura’s attempt to lure millennials.

Acura NSX
Base Price: $158,000*
Body Type: Coupe
Unchanged: Don’t expect major changes for the 2018 Acura NSX for its sophomore year. After five years of concepts and teasing, the Acura NSX arrived for the 2017 model year as a plug-in hybrid supercar. Power comes from a twin-turbo V-6 and three electric motors. Drive modes include EV, Sport, Sport Plus, and Track, and we recommend the optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires for serious track time.
Also Consider: Nissan GT-R, Mercedes-AMG GT, Porsche 911, Audi R8, McLaren 570S.
Sum Up: A true hybrid supercar.
| Acura NSX | |

Acura RLX
Base Price: $56,000-$61,500*
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: The Acura RLX has been on the market since the 2014 model year, but we don’t expect major changes for the flagship sedan. It’s a slow seller, but the RLX offers lots of features and tech. The comprehensive AcuraWatch suite of active safety tech is standard, and the optional Advance package includes a 14-speaker Krell audio system. The three-motor hybrid system in the RLX Hybrid Sport uses similar technology as the NSX supercar.
Also Consider: Lincoln Continental, Cadillac XTS, Infiniti Q70.
Sum Up: Luxury, technology, and safety in a stealthy package.
| Acura RLX | |
| Base Engine | 3.5L/310-hp/272-lb-ft V-6 |

Acura TLX
Base Price: $33,950-$45,750
Body Type: Sedan
Minor: The 2018 Acura TLX gets a face-lift and a new V-6 A-Spec model with black and red interior choices, a body kit, 19-inch wheels, and revised steering and suspension tuning. The automaker’s suite of active safety tech is now standard across the line. The revised infotainment system is faster and gains Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Two naturally aspirated engine options remain, including a 206-hp 2.4-liter I-4 and a 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6.
Also Consider: BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, Buick Regal.
Sum Up: The value-packed compact luxury sport sedan.

Alfa Romeo 4C
Base Price: $57,500-$67,500*
Body Type: Coupe
Unchanged: Alfa added a new Alpine premium audio system option and the Giallo Prototipo Yellow exterior color on the 4C Coupe last year. Don’t expect much to change for 2018; the car is essentially a limited-production weekend toy with minimal creature comforts compared to more mainstream sports cars. The 237-hp 1.7-liter turbo-four and six-speed twin-clutch gearbox will likely remain as the only powertrain choice.
Also Consider: Chevrolet Corvette, Porsche 718 Cayman/Boxster, Jaguar F-Type.
Sum Up: The purist’s Italian sports car.

Alfa Romeo Giulia
Base Price: $39,000-$74,000*
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: Launched as a 2017 model, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is one of the best-driving compact luxury sport sedans available. For 2018, expect the sedan’s powertrains to carry over, including a 280-hp 2.0-liter turbo-four and a 505-hp 2.9-liter twin-turbo V-6 in the Quadrifoglio model. Giulias with both engines have won recent Motor Trend comparisons. New exterior colors might be the only additions to the Giulia lineup for the 2018 model year.
Also Consider: Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, Cadillac ATS.
Sum Up: The handling benchmark among compact luxury sport sedans.
| Alfa Romeo Giulia | |
| Base Engine | 2.0L/280-hp/306-lb-ft turbo I-4 |

Aston Martin DB11
Base Price: $202,320-$219,320
Body Type: Coupe, convertible
Major: Following the debut of the DB11 Coupe, Aston Martin will likely add a softtop called the DB11 Volante. Expect the 600-hp 5.2-liter twin-turbo V-12 and eight-speed auto to carry over. A new twin-turbo V-8 sourced from Mercedes-AMG has been added for 2018 as the new base engine for the DB11. All 2018 DB11 models come with a standard hands-free trunk. Blind-spot warning is a new option.
Also Consider: Rolls-Royce Wraith/Dawn, Lexus LC, Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Sum Up: The most gorgeous grand tourer extant.

Aston Martin Rapide S
Base Price: $207,775-$209,825
Body Type: Hatchback
Unchanged: The Shadow Edition was added to the Rapide S lineup for the 2017 model year. It features additional standard features, including a Performance package that bumps the car’s power to 565 hp. Three exterior colors and three interior choices will be available on the Shadow Edition. The standard Rapide S continues unchanged, and the Performance package is available as an option.
Also Consider: Bentley Flying Spur, Porsche Panamera, Rolls-Royce Ghost.
Sum Up: The four-door sports car for the 1 percent.

Aston Martin Vanquish
Base Price: $298,000-$316,000*
Body Type: Coupe, convertible
Minor: The base Vanquish has been discontinued, leaving the Vanquish S as the only model left once the special edition Zagato models are sold out. Aston Martin has given the car a revised suspension, an updated front fascia with a new Vulcan-inspired carbon-fiber splitter and diffuser, an updated transmission, and a power bump to 580 hp, thanks to larger inlet manifolds and the quad exhaust system.
Also Consider: Ferrari GTC4Lusso, Audi R8, Lamborghini Huracán.
Sum Up: Classiness and pace in a svelte, timeless package.
| Aston Martin Vanquish | |
| Base Engine | 5.9L/580-hp/465-lb-ft V-12 |

Aston Martin Vantage
Base Price: $192,000-$206,500*
Body Type: Coupe, convertible
Unchanged: With the discontinuation of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, the only model left is the V12 Vantage S. The limited edition V12 Vantage S with a seven-speed manual is sold out. Expect the next Vantage to feature a Mercedes-AMG-sourced V-8 as the base engine and the DB11’s V-12 to be available. Aston’s seven-speed automated manual will likely be replaced by the ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic.
Also Consider: Mercedes-AMG GT, Porsche 911, Nissan GT-R.
Sum Up: The luxury sports car for those averse to clinical precision.
| Aston Martin Vantage | |
| Base Engine | 5.9L/563-568-hp/457-465-lb-ft V-12 |

Body Type: Sedan, convertible, hatch
Major: The biggest news is the new-for-the-U.S. RS 3 sedan with a 400-hp 2.5-liter turbo I-5 engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Last year, the base front-drive A3 saw a 2.0-liter turbo replace the 1.8-liter as the base engine. Regular A3 models are available in sedan or cabriolet form, and the A3 e-tron plug-in hybrid is hatchback only. Heated front seats are standard. Trims and option packages are revised.

Audi A4
Base Price: $36,975-$52,375

Major: After a 2017 redesign, the Audi A4 gains standard heated front seats and revised trims. The redesigned Audi S4 sport sedan arrives for 2018 packing a more powerful 354-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 in place of the previous generation’s supercharged engine. An A4 ultra model features a 190-hp 2.0 liter with front-drive, and the lifted A4 Allroad crossoverlike wagon uses the A4 2.0T sedan’s 252-hp 2.0 liter.

Sum Up: A solid full-size sedan.

Chevrolet Malibu
Base Price: $22,555-$31,850
Body Type: Sedan
Minor: In addition to a new exterior color, the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu gets a Redline special edition based on the LT trim. Exclusive features include red hash marks, black nameplates with a red outline, black alloy wheels, a blacked-out grille, and black Chevrolet badges. The L, LS, and LT trims get a larger 15.8-gallon fuel tank, the same as the range-topping Malibu Premier, to give them a longer driving range than the previous two model years.
Also Consider: Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Kia Optima.
Sum Up: The turbocharged American midsize sedan.

Chevrolet Sonic
Base Price: $16,000-$21,000*
Body Type: Sedan, hatchback
Unchanged: Last year, the Chevrolet Sonic received a major refresh, which included a new front fascia, an updated dash design, an updated MyLink multimedia system with a 7.0-inch touchscreen, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. For 2018, the Sonic receives black Bow Tie badges with the RS package plus a new Fun and Sun package option, which adds 17-inch alloy wheels, a sunroof, and the optional 1.4-liter turbo-four.
Also Consider: Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta, Toyota Corolla iM.

Chevrolet Spark
Base Price: $14,000-$17,000*
Body Type: Hatchback
Unchanged: Late last year, the Chevrolet Spark received a new crossoverlike variant called the Spark Activ, which features a slightly raised suspension, roof rails, round foglights, skidplates, and exterior body cladding. For 2018, the only change to the Spark is the addition of a new exterior color, called Sorbet. The EV variant based on the previous-generation Spark was discontinued after the 2016 model year.
Also Consider: Honda Fit, Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa.
Sum Up: GM’s entry in the cheap and cheerful segment.

Chevrolet Volt
Base Price: $34,500-$38,500*
Body Type: Hatchback
Minor: The base LT trim for the 2018 Chevrolet Volt is available with the Driver Confidence package, which adds rear park assist, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. Not much else has changed except for three new exterior colors. A midcycle refresh should arrive in a year or so and come with new standard and optional features, but don’t expect the Volt to receive any major powertrain updates anytime soon because it’s still relatively new.
Also Consider: Toyota Prius Prime, Audi A3 e-Tron, Chevrolet Bolt.
Sum Up: Conventional sheetmetal for an unconventional powertrain.

Chrysler 300
Base Price: $33,500-$47,000*
Body Type: Sedan
Minor: Last year, the 300 received the newest version of FCA’s Uconnect infotainment system, which now has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. For 2018, the 300 isn’t expected to gain many updates except new exterior colors, additional appearance packages, and possibly another special edition like last year’s Alloy Edition, with black Nappa leather, brown contrast stitching, and a blacked-out exterior.
Also Consider: Buick LaCrosse, Toyota Avalon, Chevrolet Impala.
Sum Up: One of the last full-size mainstream sedans with rear-wheel drive.

Chrysler Pacifica
Base Price: $30,200-$46,200*
Body Type: Minivan
Unchanged: The Pacifica was introduced last year, and it was the first minivan to have a plug-in hybrid variant. Don’t expect any changes except for additional exterior colors. The automaker’s 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 should remain standard along with a nine-speed automatic, and the hybrid should continue as an option. The Pacifica Hybrid will remain the most fuel-efficient model even with the added weight from the hybrid powertrain components.
Also Consider: Honda Odyssey, Kia Sedona, Toyota Sienna.
Sum Up: The minivan kicked up several notches.
| Chrysler Pacifica | |
| Base Engine | 3.6L/287-hp/262-lb-ft V-6 |

Dodge Challenger
Base Price: $28,500*-$86,090
Body Type: Coupe
Minor: The big news for 2018 is the Challenger SRT Demon with its monstrous 808-hp supercharged V-8 engine. Dodge claims the Demon is the first street-legal production car to lift its front tires off the ground and run a sub-10-second quarter mile. We expect minor revisions for Challengers with the 305-hp V-6, 372-hp and 485-hp V-8s, and 707-hp supercharged V-8. With 100-octane fuel, the Dodge Demon makes 840 hp and 770 lb-ft.
Also Consider: Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Charger, Ford Mustang.
Sum Up: Full-size coupe available from moderately to wickedly fast.
| Dodge Challenger | |

Dodge Charger
Base Price: $29,500-$69,500*
Body Type: Sedan
Minor: Trim levels for Dodge Chargers with the V-6 are now SXT, SXT Plus, GT, and GT Plus. The SXT Plus with the Super Track package and Leather group adds Nappa/Alcantara performance seats. The Hellcat gets a revised grille and badging and optional Demonic Red Laguna leather with a Gunmetal Gray stripe. Hemi models get new wheel options, and the SRT Hellcat, R/T Scat Pack, and Daytona 392 get optional colored brake calipers.
Also Consider: Chrysler 300, Chevrolet Impala.
Sum Up: Nuclear power for the nuclear family.

Ferrari 488
Base Price: $250,000-$277,000*
Body Type: Coupe, convertible
Unchanged: Ferrari’s mid-engine V-8 masterpiece can be had in the hardtop GTB or convertible Spider body styles. Both models come with the same 3.9-liter twin-turbo V-8 that produces 661 hp at 8,000 rpm and 561 lb-ft of torque from just 3,000 rpm. Ferrari says both the hardtop and the convertible model can hit 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. The 488 is fitted with Ferrari’s second-gen Side Slip Control system.
Also Consider: Lamborghini Huracán, Porsche 911 Turbo S, McLaren 570S.
Sum Up: With or without a top, it’s as fast as it is beautiful.

Ferrari 812 Superfast
Base Price: $375,000*
Body Type: Hatchback
Major: Replacing the outgoing F12, the Superfast packs a front-mounted 6.5-liter V-12 that produces an impressive 789 hp at 8,500 rpm. The 530 lb-ft of torque is made at 7,000 rpm, but 80 percent is available at just 3,500 rpm. The 812 will be the first Ferrari to utilize electric power steering and will sport version 5.0 of the automaker’s Side Slip Control system. Ferrari claims a top speed of more than 211 mph.
Also Consider: Lamborghini Aventador, McLaren 720S, Bentley Continental Supersports.
Sum Up: The most powerful V-12 ever from Maranello.

Ferrari California T
Base Price: $203,000*
Body Type: Convertible
Unchanged: Ferrari’s highest-volume model seats four passengers in a pinch and packs a front-mounted 553-hp twin-turbo V-8 paired to a seven-speed twin-clutch auto. The available Handling Speciale package includes stiffer springs, a louder sport exhaust, a faster-shifting seven-speed, and more aggressive magnetic dampers. While at a stop, the top folds down in 14 seconds.
Also Consider: Maserati GranTurismo Convertible, Bentley Continental GT Convertible, Mercedes-AMG SL63.
Sum Up: The most affordable Ferrari is a top-down thrill machine.

Ferrari GTC4Lusso
Base Price: $275,000-$305,000*
Body Type: Hatchback
Unchanged: The GTC4Lusso combines a hatchback body style with four adult-sized seats and AWD. The 680-hp 6.3-liter V-12 propels the Lusso to 60 mph in an estimated 3.2 seconds. A new GTC4Lusso T base model packs a 602-hp twin-turbo V-8 that routes power to the rear wheels, resulting in improved fuel economy. Both models come equipped with four-wheel steering and Side Slip Control.
Also Consider: Bentley Continental GT Speed, Porsche Panamera Turbo, Aston Martin DB11.
Sum Up: For when you need a practical supercar that fits four (really!).
| Ferrari GTC4Lusso | |

Fiat 124 Spider
Base Price: $26,000-$29,500*
Body Type: Convertible
Minor: For the 2018 Fiat 124 Spider, expect minor updates, such as new exterior colors and packaging changes. Sharing its underpinnings with the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata, the 124 Spider is one of only a handful of small, affordable rear-drive sports cars left. The 124 Spider Abarth with a limited-slip differential, Bilstein shocks, and optional Brembo front brakes recently won a Motor Trend shootout of affordable sports cars.
Also Consider: Mazda MX-5 Miata, Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86.
Sum Up: The turbocharged Italian-Japanese roadster.

Fiat 500
Base Price: $16,000-$34,000*
Body Type: Hatchback, conv
Minor: The Fiat 500 range saw a significant price cut last year, and its lineup was reduced to seven trim levels with the discontinuation of the 500 Turbo hatchback and the Easy grade for both body styles. Don’t expect any major improvements to the aging little Fiat, though, save for additional appearance packages. Bright exterior colors should remain, and Fiat could introduce new special edition models with unique styling cues.
Also Consider: Mini Hardtop, Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Spark.
Sum Up: Pocket-sized retro Italian style and flair.
| Fiat 500 | |
| Base Engine | 1.4L/101-hp/97-lb-ft I-4 |

Fiat 500L
Base Price: $22,000*
Body Type: Hatchback
Minor: Like the recently revealed European-spec model, the North American-spec 2018 Fiat 500L should receive an updated exterior design, a new gauge cluster with a 3.5-inch multi-information display, the latest version of FCA’s Uconnect infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a larger 7.0-inch touchscreen. The 160-hp 1.4-liter turbo-four paired to a six-speed automatic should remain as the sole powertrain.
Also Consider: Mini Clubman, Kia Soul, Honda HR-V.
Sum Up: Polarizing and quirky yet still very Italian.

Ford C-Max
Base Price: $25,500-$31,500*
Body Type: Hatchback
Minor: After a 2017 refresh, don’t expect any major changes to the C-Max Hybrid and C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid for 2018. The automaker could revamp the electrified hatchback for longer electric range via new software, a revised eCVT, or even a more power-dense battery pack. Both versions are powered by a 2.0-liter I-4 mated to an electric motor rated 188 hp total. Last year, Ford lowered the base price and added a top-spec Titanium trim.
Also Consider: Toyota Prius, Toyota Prius V, Kia Niro.
Sum Up: More practical than the Ford Fusion Hybrid.

| Base Engine | 2.0L I-4 + elec, 188-hp |

Ford Fiesta
Base Price: $15,000-$22,500*
Body Type: Sedan, hatchback
Major: We expect the 2018 Fiesta to get many of the same updates as the European model that was recently revealed and is shown here. Even though the 1.0-liter EcoBoost I-3 was optional on the outgoing model, it will likely replace the base 1.6-liter I-4 engine. A new 1.5-liter EcoBoost I-3 will replace the 1.6-liter EcoBoost I-4 in the Fiesta ST. Ford also added a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen and new safety features to the option list of the new Euro-spec model.
Also Consider: Chevrolet Sonic, Honda Fit, Nissan Versa.
Sum Up: Improvements abound for Ford’s smallest car.
| Ford Fiesta | |

Ford Focus
Base Price: $18,000-$37,500*
Body Type: Sedan, hatchback
Unchanged: Changes to the 2018 Ford Focus are limited to four new paint colors: Outrageous Green, Blue Metallic, Hot Pepper Red, and Lightning Blue. Standard models are available as sedan or hatchback and in four trims. The Focus Electric and Focus SE EcoBoost round out the energy-efficient models, and the Focus ST and RS hot hatches offer a more invigorating drive. The all-wheel-drive 350-hp Focus RS features a Drift mode for tail-out fun.
Also Consider: Honda Civic, Mazda3, Chevrolet Cruze.
Sum Up: The Focus is available from mild to wild.
| Ford Focus | |
| Base Engine | 2.0L/159-160-hp/146-lb-ft I-4 |

Ford Fusion
Base Price: $22,995-$39,995
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: After its 2017 refresh, we don’t expect significant changes for the 2018 Fusion. With its 325-hp, 380-lb-ft 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6, the high-performance Fusion Sport introduced in 2017 is the quickest midsize sedan we’ve tested. Other engine options include a 2.5-liter I-4, 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 engines, a hybrid, and an Energi plug-in Hybrid model. Five trim levels are offered from the base S to top-spec Platinum.
Also Consider: Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Mazda6.
Sum Up: A sporty take on the family sedan.
| Ford Fusion | |
| Base Engine | 2.5L/175-hp/175-lb-ft I-4 |
| Opt Engine | 1.5L/181-hp/185-lb-ft turbo I-4; 2.0L 245-hp/275-lb-ft turbo I-4; 2.7L/325-hp/380-lb-ft twin-turbo V-6; 2.0L + elec 188-195-hp |

Ford GT
Base Price: $450,000
Body Type: Coupe
Unchanged: Ford resurrected its famed Le Mans–winning and Ferrari-trouncing Ford GT, this time with a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 instead of a big V-8. Unlike the Ford GT tribute version of the mid-2000s, the new car is as race-bred as the original. The new GT makes 647 horsepower and 550 lb-ft from its EcoBoost engine and drives the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Options include carbon-fiber wheels and accent colors.
Also Consider: Ferrari 488, Lamborghini Huracán, McLaren 720S.
Sum Up: The Ford GT is back and more badass than ever.

Ford Mustang
Base Price: $27,500-$65,000*
Body Type: Coupe, convertible
Major: The refreshed Mustang gets revised styling, LED lighting, and more active safety tech. The V-6 is dropped, and the 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 and new 5.0-liter dual port- and direct-injected V-8 gain power. The six-speed manual has been beefed up, and a new 10-speed auto replaces the six-speed auto. We don’t expect many changes to the GT350/R. A new GT500 with a supercharged 5.0-liter and the new injection setup could debut in 2018.
Also Consider: Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger.
Sum Up: More power and tech for America’s original ponycar.

Engine options could include the F-150’s new 3.3-liter V-6, 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4, and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 for the new SHO. A 2017 Taurus is shown here.

Maserati GranTurismo
Base Price: $135,000-$184,000*

Minor: Mazda3 Sport models gain Smart City Brake Support. The 2.5-liter inline-four engine is standard on the Touring model, as are dark silver wheels, overhead console with sunglasses holder, and vanity mirrors. The new Touring Bose/Moonroof/Satellite Radio package replaces the Touring Popular Equipment package. The Grand Touring Popular Equipment package gains many of the features from the i-Activsense Safety package.

Mazda6
Base Price: $23,000-$32,000*
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: Although Mazda hasn’t revealed details on its midsize sedan, we suspect the automaker might finally add its 2.2-liter Skyactiv turbodiesel I-4 to the option list for the U.S. market. Also look for content revisions for the trims and packages. Despite being a small company, Mazda offers lots of high-tech features on the 6, among them a full suite of active safety and driver-assist tech and an easy-to-use infotainment system.
Also Consider: Ford Fusion, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord.

Mazda MX-5 Miata
Base Price: $26,000-$34,000*
Body Type: Convertible
Unchanged: Last year, Mazda added the Miata RF or retractable fastback body style alongside the standard convertible. We don’t expect many changes to the fun-to-drive open-top two-seater for 2018. Mazda could add its G-Vectoring system, which reduces driver fatigue and improves handling feel. Power for both models comes from a 155-hp 2.0-liter Skyactiv I-4 mated to a six-speed manual or six-speed auto that sends power to the rear wheels.
Also Consider: Fiat 124 Spider, Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86.

The McLaren 570GT will see minor revisions. Both are powered by a 562-hp version of McLaren’s twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

McLaren 720S
Base Price: $285,000*

The side scoops are gone, but the 720S features scoops around the headlights as well as deep channels on either side of the cockpit.
Also Consider: Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari 488, Aston Martin Vanquish.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive
Base Price: $41,000*
Body Type: Hatchback
Unchanged: The B250e is the automaker’s only EV and hatchback. Now nearing the end of its life cycle, the B-Class should continue without major changes. The 177-hp motor provides instant and brisk acceleration and an 87-mile driving range on a full charge, which takes about four hours using a Level 2 charger. The Mercedes EV comes standard with a 7.0-inch infotainment screen, Attention Assist, and a suite of driver-assist safety features.

Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class
Base Price: $33,625-$51,325
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: With a refresh last year, the CLA-Class will likely receive minimal updates for 2018. The automaker’s most affordable model is powered by a 208-hp 2.0-liter turbo-four. The AMG CLA45 packs a very potent 375-hp 2.0-liter turbo-four and AWD standard. The front-drive-based CLA comes standard with an 8.0-inch infotainment screen and a suite of driver assist features.

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
Base Price: $68,500-$110,500*
Body Type: Sedan
Minor: The CLS-Class should remain unchanged, ready for the next generation based on the new E-Class. The base CLS400 will get a new twin-turbo inline-six in in mid-2018, and a 577-hp twin-turbo V-8 powers the AMG CLS63 S. The four-seater started the sloped-roof craze and lends its design to the smaller coupelike CLA-Class.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Base Price: $53,500-$82,000*
Body Type: Sedan, coupe, convertible, wagon
Major: Mercedes expanded the E-Class lineup with a new coupe and cabriolet model and has also added new advanced safety features. The AMG E63 S will be powered by a new 603-horsepower 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8. Pairing the standard 12.3 high-resolution infotainment screen with the available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster creates an impressive-looking single display.

A 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 replaces the outgoing 5.5 liter and sees duty in S560 and Maybach S560 models. (The 12-cylinder Maybach is now called the S650.) A host of advanced driver safety features and three interior upholstery choices are new.
Also Consider: BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Porsche Panamera.

The two-seater has a range of potent engines, ranging from the standard 362-hp twin-turbo V-6 to the AMG SL65’s 621-hp twin-turbo V-12. The SL’s standard features include a Harman Kardon audio system, heated 16-way power seats, and a host of advanced safety features. The available Active Body Control helps to suppress body roll and lateral forces.
Also Consider: Jaguar F-Type, BMW 6 Series, Porsche 911.

Soon after, the rally-bred Evolution reached the U.S., impressing many with its on- and off-road performance.

Both engines are mated to a CVT, which sends power to the front wheels.
Also Consider: Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Mazda6.
Sum Up: The V-6 Altima is nearly as quick as the more expensive and powerful Maxima.
| Nissan Altima | |

Nissan GT-R
Base Price: $112,000-$177,000*
Body Type: Coupe
Minor: Although no updates have been revealed about the 2018 GT-R, we expect Nissan to continue its tradition of giving its flagship supercar yearly refinements. Three trims are available, including the 565-horsepower Premium and Track models and the top-spec 600-hp NISMO. The twin-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 is backed by a rear-mounted six-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all four wheels.
Also Consider: Porsche 911, Chevrolet Corvette, Jaguar F-Type.
Sum Up: Seeking perfection through incremental improvements.
| Nissan GT-R | |
| Base Engine | 3.8L/565-hp/467-lb-ft twin-turbo V-6 |
| Opt Engine | 3.8L/600-hp/481-lb-ft twin-turbo V-6 |

Nissan Leaf
Base Price: $34,000-$38,000*
Body Type: Hatchback
Major: After seven years on the market, the Nissan Leaf will finally get redesigned from the ground up. Expect the IDS concept to preview its styling direction. The next Leaf will feature more than a 200-mile range, thanks to new battery technology also seen in the Renault Zoe concept. That will make the next-gen Leaf competitive with the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3. The hatchback body style, pictured here in camouflage form, will return.
Also Consider: Tesla Model 3, Chevrolet Bolt EV, Hyundai Ioniq.
Sum Up: New model should be on par with newer competitors.
| Nissan Leaf | |

Nissan Maxima
Base Price: $34,000-$41,500*
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: With Nissan’s flagship four-door sports car completely revamped in 2016, we don’t expect major changes for the 2018 Maxima. Last year, the automaker added Apple CarPlay to the infotainment roster. The top-spec Platinum model satisfies the luxury crowd, and the SR and blacked-out SR Midnight Edition focus on the sportier end of the spectrum with sportier suspension tuning.
Also Consider: Toyota Avalon, Chevrolet Impala, Dodge Charger.
Sum Up: Nissan’s big sedan tries to keep its sporty edge.
| Nissan Maxima | |
| Base Engine | 3.5L/300-hp/261-lb-ft V-6 |
| Opt Engine | None |

Nissan Sentra
Base Price: $18,000-$26,000*
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: Automatic emergency braking becomes standard on all Sentra models equipped with the CVT. Expect other minor changes and package revisions. Last year, the Sentra NISMO model arrived with a 188-hp turbocharged engine mated to a six-speed manual or CVT. In our testing the NISMO was more than 2.5 seconds quicker to 60 mph than the base engine. Nissan added its signature V-Motion grille during a 2016 refresh.
Also Consider: Honda Civic, Ford Focus, Mazda3, Toyota Corolla.
Sum Up: NISMO brings zip to Nissan’s compact car.
| Nissan Sentra | |
| Base Engine | 1.8L/124-hp/125-lb-ft I-4 |
| Opt Engine | 1.6L/188-hp/177-lb-ft turbo I-4 |
| Drivetrain | Front-engine, FWD |

| IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value | 42% |
Nissan Versa
Base Price: $13,000-$20,000*
Body Type: Sedan, hatchback
Major: Although Nissan hasn’t released details for its subcompact sedan and hatchback, rumors predict an all-new Versa sedan and Versa Note hatchback for 2018. Despite its subcompact exterior dimensions, the Nissan Versa offers near midsize interior space. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the base sedan, and all other models feature a CVT. Nissan is expected to reveal official info closer to the 2018 model year (the 2017 sedan is shown here).
Also Consider: Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio.
Sum Up: One of the least expensive cars in its class and one of the largest interiors.
| Nissan Versa | |
| Base Engine | 1.6L/109-hp/107-lb-ft I-4* |
| Opt Engine | None |

Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman
Base Price: $56,500-$85,000*
Body Type: Coupe, convertible
Major: The 718 Boxster and Cayman were the first models to feature the automaker’s newest turbocharged four-cylinder engines, which make both cars more potent than their predecessors. Porsche will likely revive the Boxster Spyder and the Cayman GT4 with a naturally aspirated flat-six, possibly a detuned version of the 4.0-liter unit found in the recently refreshed 911 GT3, and it might be paired exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission.
Also Consider: Alfa Romeo 4C, Chevrolet Camaro, Audi TT RS.
Sum Up: Still as potent as a Porsche sports car should be.
| Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman | |
| Base Engine | 2.0L/300-hp/280-lb-ft turbo flat-4 |
| Opt Engine | 2.5L/350-hp/309-lb-ft turbo flat-4; 4.0-liter/400-hp/320-lb-ft flat-6* |

| Intellichoice 5-Year Retained Value | 53% |
| * Estimated | |
Porsche 911
Base Price: $92,150-$250,000*
Body Type: Coupe, convertible
Major: The refreshed GTS and GT3 and the new GT2 RS join the 911 range. The GTS has a 450-hp 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six and a sportier suspension, and the GT3 has a six-speed manual option, a 500-hp 4.0-liter flat-six, a track-tuned suspension, rear-wheel steering, and an aero kit with a carbon-fiber wing. The GT2 RS should have well north of 640 horsepower from its 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six and also gets the GT3’s suspension and aero kit.
Also Consider: Acura NSX, Mercedes-AMG GT, and McLaren 570S.
Sum Up: The seminal 911 keeps improving.
| Porsche 911 | |
| Base Engine | 3.0L/370-hp/331-lb-ft twin-turbo flat-6 |
| Opt Engine | 3.0L/420-450-hp/368-405-lb-ft twin-turbo flat-6; 3.8L/540-680-hp/523-570-lb-ft twin-turbo flat-6*; 4.0-liter/500-hp/339-lb-ft flat-6 |

Porsche Panamera
Base Price: $86,050-$195,850
Body Type: Hatchback, wagon
Major: The Panamera receives a second variant, the Sport Turismo, a wagon that will be available with gas and plug-in hybrid powertrains. A second hybrid variant, called the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, joins the lineup and pairs the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 to an electric motor for a total output of 680 hp and 626 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful Panamera on sale; however, it’s not available in the Sport Turismo body style. Also Consider Aston Martin Rapide, Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, Audi A7.
Sum Up: Blistering speed without sacrificing practicality.
| Porsche Panamera | |
| Base Engine | 3.0L/330-hp/331-lb-ft turbo V-6 |
| Opt Engine | 2.9L/440-hp/405-lb-ft twin-turbo V-6; 4.0L/550-hp/567-lb-ft twin-turbo V-8; 2.9L twin-turbo V-6 + elec, 462 hp/516 lb-ft; 4.0L twin-turbo V-8+ elec, 680 hp/626 lb-ft |

| Basic Warranty | 4 years/50,000 miles |
| * Estimated | |
Rolls-Royce Dawn/Wraith
Base Price: $318,000-$346,000*
Body Type: Coupe, convertible
Unchanged: The Wraith coupe and Dawn convertible both use Rolls-Royce’s 6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12 but in different power outputs. The Wraith Black Badge’s claimed 0–60 time of 4.3 seconds makes it the quickest Rolls-Royce. With the discontinuation of the Phantom coupe and Drophead, the Wraith and Dawn are the only coupe and convertible offered by the automaker. Expect new special editions. Also Consider Bentley Continental GT, Mercedes-AMG SL65, Aston Martin DB11.
Sum Up: Rolls-Royce’s appeal to younger billionaires.
| Rolls-Royce Dawn/Wraith | |
| Base Engine | 6.6L/563-624-hp/590-lb-ft twin-turbo V-12 |
| Opt Engine | 6.6L/624-hp/642-lb-ft twin-turbo V-12 |

| Basic Warranty | 4 years/unlimited miles |
| * Estimated | |
Rolls-Royce Ghost
Base Price: $301,000-$334,000*
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: The 6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12 propels the Ghost to 60 mph in a Motor Trend–tested 4.4 seconds. The Black Badge edition increases engine output to 603 hp and 620 lb-ft of torque. Opt for the extended wheelbase, and receive 6-plus inches of additional rear-seat legroom. Customizable with an almost endless selection of color schemes, veneer styles, and monograms.
Also Consider: Mercedes-Maybach S650, BMW M760i xDrive, Bentley Flying Spur.
Sum Up: The “entry-level” Rolls-Royce is as prestigious as ever.
| Rolls-Royce Ghost | |
| Base Engine | 6.6L/563-hp/605-lb-ft twin-turbo V-12 |
| Opt Engine | 6.6L/603-hp/620-lb-ft twin-turbo V-12 |

| Transmission | 8A |
| EPA Econ City/Hwy | 12/19 mpg |
| 0-60 mph | 4.4 sec |
| Basic Warranty | 4 years/unlimited miles |
Rolls-Royce Phantom
Base Price: $425,000-$500,000*
Body Type: Sedan
Major: The Phantom receives a rare redesign and is now underpinned by a lighter aluminum-intensive architecture. It packs the automaker’s most powerful version of the 6.6-liter twin-turbo V-12 mated to an eight-speed auto with more usable interior space and a fully modernized electronics suite. The coupe and Drophead Coupe models have been discontinued.
Also Consider: Bentley Mulsanne, Mercedes-Maybach S650, BMW M760i xDrive.
Sum Up: A long-awaited overhaul of one of the world’s most prestigious automobiles.
| Rolls-Royce Phantom | |
| Base Engine | 6.6L/624-hp/642-lb-ft twin-turbo V-12* |

Smart Fortwo
Base Price: $15,500-$28,500*
Body Type: Hatch, convertible
Major: The tiny two-seater gains an electric variant in both coupe and convertible body styles. The Electric Drive packs an 80-hp electric motor and has a manufacturer-claimed driving range of 70–80 miles. A full charge takes about three hours using a Level 2 charger. Smart might drop the gas engine, making it an EV only. The Fortwo is available with ambient lighting, a panorama sunroof, a JBL audio system, and a Brabus sport package.
Also Consider: Fiat 500, Mitsubishi Mirage, Mini Hardtop.
Sum Up: A pint-sized two-door made for an urban environment.
| Smart Fortwo | |

Subaru BRZ
Base Price: $26,500*
Body Type: Coupe
Minor: Last year the BRZ received a midcycle refresh, which added slightly more power to cars equipped with the manual, an updated suspension, a new Performance package option, and the Series.Yellow special edition. For 2018, the BRZ tS joins the lineup and comes with Brembo brakes, an adjustable rear wing, Sachs dampers, Bilstein shocks, a more aggressive suspension setup, black leather and Alcantara seats, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Also Consider: Toyota 86, Fiat 124 Spider, Mazda MX-5 Miata.
Sum Up: Balanced handling remains the Subaru BRZ’s biggest strength.
| Subaru BRZ | |

Subaru Impreza
Base Price: $19,500*-$36,955
Body Type: Sedan, hatchback
Minor: The Impreza was redesigned last year and was the first vehicle to ride on Subaru’s new global platform. The WRX gets refreshed with minor exterior tweaks, an optional Performance package for the Premium trim, optional full LED headlights, and an updated EyeSight safety suite. The WRX STI gets a Type RA model with 19-inch BBS alloy wheels, Brembo brakes, a more aggressive suspension, and an uprated 2.5-liter turbo-four.
Also Consider: Honda Civic, Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf.
Sum Up: Practicality and all-weather traction for the most sensible drivers.
| Subaru Impreza | |
| Base Engine | 2.0L/152-hp/145-lb-ft flat-4 |
| Opt Engine | 2.0L/268-hp/258-lb-ft turbo flat-4; 2.5L/305-310-hp/290-lb-ft turbo flat-4 |

Subaru Legacy
Base Price: $23,055-$32,805
Body Type: Sedan
Minor: The 2018 Subaru Legacy receives a minor exterior styling refresh, which includes a revised lower grille, reshaped headlights, more sound-deadening material, and a wider grille. Newly available features include adaptive full LED headlights, LED foglights, and an updated version of the Starlink multimedia interface, which now has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. Subaru also revised the steering, brakes, and dampers.
Also Consider: Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata.
Sum Up: A midsize sedan for all seasons.
| Subaru Legacy | |
| Base Engine | 2.5L/175-hp/174-lb-ft flat-4 |

Tesla Model 3
Base Price: $35,000*
Body Type: Sedan
All-New: Although specs on the much-hyped upcoming Tesla Model 3 sedan are not yet official, a chart on the automaker’s website promises a range of more than 215 miles and a 0–60 time of 5.6 seconds. The Model 3, which is smaller than the Model S, will feature a conventional trunk (and frunk) and will offer seating for five. It will also feature one large center-mounted display for vehicle info and infotainment/navigation.
Also Consider: Chevrolet Bolt EV, Nissan Leaf, BMW i3
Sum Up: The affordable Tesla is scheduled for a late 2017/early 2018 arrival—if you’re on the wait list.
| Tesla Model 3 | |
| Base Motor | 235-hp electric* |
| Opt Motor | 325-hp dual electric* |

| * Estimated | |
Tesla Model S
Base Price: $71,000-$142,000*
Body Type: Hatchback
Minor: Instead of following the conventional model year formula, Tesla model years denote the actual production year. Tesla also rolls out updates periodically during the year, so we expect more model and pricing revisions as well as more software updates to the drivetrain and active safety/autopilot tech. Tesla recently consolidated the model offerings to the rear-drive 75 and all-wheel-drive 75D, 100D, and P100D to simplify the lineup.
Also Consider: Karma Revero, Chevrolet Bolt EV, Honda Clarity.
Sum Up: One of the quickest and greenest cars we’ve tested.
| Tesla Model S | |
| Base Motor | 315-hp/325-lb-ft electric* |
| Opt Motor | 329-hp/387-lb-ft dual electric; 417-hp/485-lb-ft dual electric; 463-532-hp dual electric |

Toyota 86
Base Price: $27,500*
Body Type: Coupe
Minor: The 2017 86 received a number of small changes, among them a mild power bump with the standard manual transmission, some minor exterior styling changes, and a revised suspension. For 2018, the 86 could receive a higher trim level with additional standard features similar to the 860 Special Edition, which comes with heated front seats, keyless entry/start, a 4.2-inch multi-information display, a spoiler, and LED foglights.
Also Consider: Mazda MX-5 Miata, Subaru BRZ, Fiat 124 Spider.

Toyota Camry
Base Price: $24,380-$33,135
Body Type: Sedan
Major: Styled with a more distinctive exterior, the Camry is the third vehicle to move to Toyota’s new TNGA platform, and it will come with a range of new powertrains, including an updated hybrid system with more power and better fuel economy. Toyota says the newest iteration will be sportier and more engaging to drive, and it will feature the newest iteration of its Entune multimedia interface and Toyota Safety Sense-P.
Also Consider: Honda Accord, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Malibu.
Sum Up: One more attempt to shed its vanilla image.
| Toyota Camry | |
| Base Engine | 2.5L/203-206-hp/184-186-lb-ft I-4 |

Toyota Avalon
Base Price: $34,385-$43,685
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: The Avalon is getting on in years, but it will carry over unchanged. Last year, the Toyota Safety Sense-P suite of active safety features became standard across the entire Avalon range. In the near future, a new generation could arrive riding on Toyota’s new TNGA platform; power should come from an updated V-6 paired to an eight-speed automatic or a revised hybrid powertrain with more power and better fuel economy.
Also Consider: Chevrolet Impala, Kia Cadenza, Nissan Maxima.
Sum Up: Soldiering on in a shrinking segment.
| Toyota Avalon | |
| Base Engine | 3.5L/268-hp/248-lb-ft V-6 |

Toyota Corolla/iM
Base Price: $19,500-$24,000*
Body Type: Sedan, hatchback
Minor: The Corolla sedan gets a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel in the SE and XLE grades. All models now come with illuminated sunvisors for the driver and front passenger. The more practical Corolla iM hatchback (née Scion iM) carries over unchanged and will remain as a single-spec model with a generous standard equipment list, including a 7.0-inch touchscreen, Toyota Safety Sense-C, and a 4.2-inch multi-information display.
Also Consider: Honda Civic, Chevrolet Cruze, Mazda3.
Sum Up: Safe and reliable but lacks soul and personality.
| Toyota Corolla/iM | |
| Base Engine | 1.8L/132-140-hp/126-128-lb-ft I-4 |
| Opt Engine | None |

| IntelliChoice 5-Yr Retained Value | 48% |
Toyota Mirai
Base Price: $58,500*
Body Type: Sedan
Unchanged: The Mirai, currently only available in California, should carry over unchanged. Available as a single loaded model, the Mirai is one of the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to go into mass production and is able to travel up to 312 miles on a single tank. It comes with plenty of standard features, but the Mirai will likely get additional tech goodies, such as an updated version of Toyota’s Entune system.
Also Consider: Honda Clarity Fuel Cell, Chevrolet Bolt EV, BMW 330e iPerformance.
Sum Up: Cutting-edge tech meets Dark Lord exterior styling.
| Toyota Mirai | |
| Base Motor | 151-hp/247-lb-ft electric |

| Basic Warranty | 3 years/36,000 miles |
Toyota Prius
Base Price: $24,500-$28,000*
Body Type: Hatchback
Unchanged: Last year, the Prius Prime joined the Prius range as the new plug-in hybrid variant for the world’s most recognizable hybrid vehicle. It’s able to travel up to 25 miles before the gas engine turns on. A new base trim called the Prius One, which lowered the Prius’ base price to compete with new competitors, was also added last year. We don’t expect updates except the possible addition of new colors and packaging.
Also Consider: Hyundai Ioniq, Chevrolet Volt, Honda Clarity Plug-In.

Base Price: $27,500*
Body Type: Wagon
