Top 10 Cars and Trucks Introduced in 2019
Another year, another cascade of new models making their debuts. What we've seen over the past 12 months is incredible.
Here are the top 10 cars and trucks that were introduced in 2019...
2021 Aston Martin DBX
Described as “the SUV with the soul of a sports car,” the Aston Martin DBX promises unprecedented style and versatility. It is powered by a new version of the twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine found in the DB11 and Vantage, generating 550 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The DBX sprints from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.
2020 Audi RS 6 Avant
Performance enthusiasts have been waiting for it for a long time, and now it’s about to go on sale in Canada. The 2020 Audi RS 6 Avant arrives next year as a sinister-looking, 590-horsepower wagon and a total badass.
2020 Chevrolet Corvette
The all-new 2020 Chevrolet Corvette is quite a sight to behold. The breathtaking front fascia, the exquisite proportions that mark a radical departure from the C7 Corvette and the mid-mounted engine seen through an exotically styled glass panel blew away the 1,500 guests during the big reveal that took place inside a hangar in Santa Ana, California this summer.
The 6.2-litre, naturally aspirated V8 delivers up to 495 horsepower via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Sadly, the manual gearbox will no longer be available.
2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E
The launch of an electric Mustang in the form of a crossover is another proof that revolutions are anything but quiet. More than 50 years after the spectacular debut of the original Mustang, here comes an all-new, radically different version called Mach-E and powered by either a single- or dual-motor system. It provides a maximum range of 475 kilometres and starts at $50,495 in Canada.
2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
Early in the year at the Detroit Auto Show, Ford unveiled the most powerful production Mustang to ever hit the streets. The 2020 Shelby GT500 produces 760 horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque from a supercharged 5.2-litre V8 engine running on 93-octane premium gasoline. Just like the new Corvette, it does not offer a manual transmission, however.
2020 Mazda CX-30
After making its global debut in Geneva back in March, the all-new Mazda CX-30 landed in North America at the Los Angeles Auto Show this fall. Slotting between the CX-3 and CX-5, it's a bigger, sexier and more upscale version of the former while featuring the same engines as the latter.
2020 MINI Cooper SE
The Cowley plant near Oxford hosted the world premiere of the first all-electric MINI Cooper. This car is motivated by a 181-horsepower motor and its lithium-ion battery enables a range of 230 kilometres. The MINI Cooper SE will go on sale in Canada on March 7 starting at $39,990.
2020 Polestar 2
In Geneva, Polestar unveiled its second car ever. Simply called Polestar 2, this versatile five-door model relies on two electric motors that produce a combined 408 horsepower and allow for an all-wheel drivetrain, while a 78-kWh battery pack provides an estimated driving range of 440 kilometres.
2020 Porsche Taycan
A direct response to the Tesla Model S, the all-new, all-electric Porsche Taycan is available in Turbo, Turbo S and 4S trim. Peak output is rated at 750 horsepower thanks to an overboost function, while acceleration from 0-100 km/h is clocked at 2.8 seconds.
2022 Tesla Cybertruck
Of course the Tesla Cybertruck made our list! This revolutionary, concept-like electric pickup nearly broke the Internet when it debuted in November.
Tesla has received over 250,000 pre-orders already. The Cybertruck impresses with a base price of just $39,900 USD and a maximum range of 800 kilometres in top trim.
