00:00As technology advances, the cars we drive become smarter, faster, and more eco-friendly.
00:14Here are the top new vehicles to look out for in 2024.
00:19Jeep Recon EV This Jeep is unique in the new lineup.
00:24The impending 2024 Jeep Recon EV is coming to crawl rocks, to say it exactly.
00:31Electric vehicles have impacted nearly every market, zapping into classes of vehicles like
00:36full-size pickup trucks, station wagons, luxury SUVs, and now this.
00:41The four-wheel drive Recon EV is a fully electric mid-size SUV with a power-folding rooftop
00:47and easily detachable doors inspired by the Wrangler 4Xe plug-in hybrid.
00:52Initial renderings show a spare tire mounted on the tailgate, the LED 7-slot front grille,
00:58the beefy BF Goodrich rubber, and the seats for up to 5 people on top of rubberized flooring
01:03that can all be seen in initial renders.
01:06As one of two new electric models to the Jeep portfolio, the Recon EV will join the impending
01:11Wagoneer EV.
01:13We anticipate the Jeep Recon EV to be about the same size as the current Jeep Wrangler
01:18or two-row Grand Cherokee because it belongs to the mid-size SUV class.
01:23According to Jeep, the Recon EV production will be scheduled to begin sometime in 2024.
01:28Maserati GranTurismo
01:31The famous sports car from Maserati will return for the 2024 model year completely refreshed
01:37with new sporty style changes that borrow certain design elements from the new Maserati
01:43A detuned version of the white-hot Nittuno twin-turbo V6 engine from the MC20 will be
01:50used in the gasoline-powered GranTurismo Coupe, which is anticipated to be the first 2024
01:55GranTurismo model to go on sale.
01:57All variants include an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, and if you
02:02look at the Modena trim, the base model, it has 483 horsepower.
02:07If you want even more power, then you can look at the Trofeo trim that offers an enhanced
02:11version of the base engine to boost you up to 542 horsepower at $207,000.
02:18Interestingly, that's not the most expensive GranTurismo.
02:23The engine's distinctive twin-combustion design has roots in Formula One racing and
02:28is loud and characterful.
02:29However, no manual transmission will be available.
02:33Maserati could still make some changes until the production of the fully electric GranTurismo
02:37begins.
02:38Stay tuned for more information on that.
02:41Aston Martin Valhalla
02:43The 2024 Aston Martin Valhalla will be a mid-engine hypercar with a hybrid powertrain, just like
02:49the Ferrari SF90, and the Aston Martin Valhalla's appearance features a blown-up version of
02:54the company's slick bodywork, grille, and engine cover made of carbon fiber.
03:00The hypercar's center tub is also made of carbon fiber, and its dihedral doors will
03:04emphasize the unusual aspect of the vehicle even more.
03:08Aston predicts a top speed of 270 mph and a 0-62mph duration of 2.5 seconds.
03:15An 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission will drive the rear wheels.
03:19An electric motor will also power the front wheels, and the transmission may get one as
03:23well.
03:24According to reports, the Valhalla has a combined 937 horsepower.
03:29Cadillac Lyric
03:32By far one of the most interesting luxury electric SUVs you will ever set your eyes
03:37on, the new Lyric is making a return in 2024 with interesting changes based on customers'
03:43feedback.
03:44The major update to the Lyric is the new trim levels.
03:47You get a base model Tech trim, a mid-range Luxury trim, and at the top of the class is
03:52the new Sport.
03:54The major differences between these three trims are more aesthetic than functional.
03:59You may be able to go with either and still be just fine.
04:02Choreographed exterior lights, illuminated door handles, and rain-sensing wipers are
04:07the kind of features you may be missing out on if you go for the base model.
04:11Interestingly, range estimates are lower than they were in the 2023 Lyric.
04:15Rear-wheel drive will offer about 308 miles, while you get one mile less on all-wheel drive
04:21at 307 miles.
04:23Performance is to be the same, with 340 horsepower on the single-motor rear-wheel drive and 500
04:28horsepower on the dual-motor all-wheel drive variant.
04:31The 2023 model did not disappoint in performance, especially for a vehicle this size in the
04:36SUV class, and we expect more of the same from the new Lyric.
04:40Good news is that the base level still starts at around $59,000.
04:46Jeep Wagoneer EV
04:49The all-new electric 2024 Wagoneer will be one of two electric SUVs offered in the North
04:54American market.
04:56We are getting a possible range of 400 miles per charge, a 600 horsepower output, allowing
05:01the electrified SUV to accelerate from 0-60 in around 3.5 seconds.
05:07The launch of the Jeep Wagoneer EV marks a significant turning point for the off-road
05:11brand, which anticipates that by 2030, EV sales will account for 50% of total sales
05:17in the United States.
05:19Despite being Jeep's first fully electric vehicle, the 2024 Wagoneer EV will take design
05:24cues from the company's current gasoline-powered vehicles and combine them with EV-like elements,
05:29like a grill that lights up.
05:31The Wagoneer EV has a futuristic appearance thanks to this fusion of contemporary and
05:35classic style features while still looking like a Jeep.
05:39MINI Countryman
05:41The largest MINI by size and existence is getting a new upgrade in 2024, and MINI fans
05:46are in for a ride.
05:49Design-wise, it's unsurprising that the new Countryman maintains MINI's unique design
05:54language that faithful fans have come to know and love.
05:57Under the hood, however, MINI is making provisions for both drivers that want to cut their carbon
06:02footprint by driving electric and those that would prefer to stick to gas, and both powertrains
06:07are quite impressive.
06:09The electric Countryman will come with a dual-motor setup and a 64.7 kWh battery pack to put out
06:15308hp and a range of 230 miles.
06:19In the small EV SUV class, these are quite competitive numbers, and it would be nice
06:23to see how it performs in reality.
06:26The gas-powered variant, on the other hand, edges in front with its turbocharged 2.0-liter
06:304-cylinder engine producing 241hp and 295lb-ft of torque, which is quite competitive with
06:36most small SUVs in the market.
06:39Land Rover Range Rover EV
06:42With Land Rover's brand new chassis that can accommodate gas, plug-in hybrid, or electric
06:47propulsion, the company's flagship EV model now makes an evolutionary leap into the completely
06:52electric era.
06:55Luxury SUV that is also electric is expected to bring out the best of the Range Rover's
06:59unique and recognizable design reputation.
07:03Battery range, power, and pricing are among the crucial characteristics that are important,
07:08but we anticipate the Range Rover EV to maintain the plushness and strong off-road prowess
07:13that have come to represent the brand since it was introduced to the U.S. in 1987.
07:19An all-new chassis and new full electric powertrain will be used in the 2024 Range Rover EV.
07:25The electric vehicle will be built on the long-wheelbase variant, which should allow
07:29for three rows of seating, just like the current gas-powered range.
07:33A new multi-link suspension design frees up more space for the EV's battery and rear-wheel
07:39steering system by reducing the amount of room required for wheel articulation.
07:44Chevrolet Silverado EV
07:47A worthy addition to Chevrolet's new electrified lineup is Silverado EV.
07:52A mid-gate design option allows users to fold the partition between the bed and the cab
07:56for added storage space.
07:58A big battery pack is believed to have a range of up to 400 miles on a single charge, and
08:03a battery with a range of 100 miles may be charged in just 10 minutes using DC fast-charging technology.
08:09The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV can tow up to 10,000 pounds and handle loads weighing
08:14up to 1,300 pounds thanks to dual electric motors that produce up to 664 horsepower and
08:20provide standard all-wheel drive.
08:23The Silverado EV will only have two electric motors compared to the GMC Hummer EV's three
08:28electric motors.
08:29The configuration should still deliver strong acceleration performance as Chevrolet claims
08:34the top-spec RST has at least 664 horsepower while the base WT model manages with 510.
08:42Both all-wheel drive and four-wheel steering are standard.
08:45Customers who choose the RST model will discover that their vehicle has an adjustable air suspension.
08:51Nevertheless, a pair of enormous, stylish 24-inch wheels are optional.
08:55Locking differentials, substantial all-terrain tires, and other adventure-ready components
09:00will be added to the Silverado EV's suspension in the Trail Boss Edition.
09:05The maximum towing capacity of the Silverado EV at launch will be 10,000 pounds for the
09:10RST variant and 8,000 pounds for the WT.
09:13According to Chevrolet, a variant with a 20,000-pound towing capacity may be soon added to the list
09:19later on.
