10. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander
Well, folks, Toyota’s been riding high on the success of its streamlined SUV, the unflappable Highlander. It’s got the city-slicking ease and car-like driveability that’s made it a hit in the urban asphalt jungle.
But in their portfolio, a gap emerged – a full-size, three-row SUV that marries off-road prowess with daily commute comfort was conspicuously absent. Enter the Sequoia and the 4Runner, Toyota’s rugged, body-on-frame warriors built to chew up and spit out tough terrains, but perhaps not the smoothest of city cruisers.
And then, like a bolt from the blue, Toyota dropped the mic with their brand-new titan – the Grand Highlander. Borrowing some juice from the powertrain pantry of the freshly minted Crown sedan, this behemoth stands poised to rumble into showrooms across the U.S. by the time the summer sun hits its zenith.

Three beefed-up trim levels โ XLE, Limited, and Platinum โ give the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander its roaring heart. Under the hood, it’s packing a trio of engine options: a punchy 2.4-liter turbocharged four-banger, a reliable 2.5-liter naturally aspirated powerplant mated to a hybrid system, and a souped-up Hybrid Max system that’s got the highest horsepower and quickest get-up-and-go in the pack.
9. 2024 BMW X5 and X6
Hold onto your lederhosen, performance purists, because BMW has just turned up the heat on their iconic X5 and its suave coupe sibling, the X6. The Bavarian behemoths unveiled their 2024 line-up on February 8th, packed to the brim with the latest tech wizardry and German engineering prowess.
A highlight is a sleek, curved glass display that acts as mission control, housing both the instrument cluster and the infotainment touchscreen. But that’s not all โ BMW has turned the eco-dial up to eleven this time around, supercharging the entire range with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. Green, meet growl!

When it comes to choice, the X5 is the grand buffet with four succulent trims: sDrive40i, xDrive40i, xDrive50e, and M60i xDrive. The X6, the sophisticated gourmet, offers two fine-tuned options: xDrive40i and M60i xDrive.
The heart of the 40i models is a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6, while the 50e flaunts a plug-in hybrid system mated to the same. For the speed junkies, the M60i trim unleashes a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8.
All but the sDrive come with AWD as standard, ready to tame whatever the road throws at them.
8. 2024 Mercedes-Benz e-Sprinter
Riding the wave of the electric revolution, delivery vehicles are being swept up in the current, and what’s emerging is a greener, cleaner future on four wheels.

Echoing the eco-credentials of the 2024 BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz is showing its commitment to a greener future without sacrificing performance or luxury. Adding some extra electric zing to the lineup is the new plug-in hybrid model, christened the 400e.

Strap in, gearheads, because Mazda’s throwing a serious curveball with its entrance into the premium three-row SUV segment. Say hello to the 2024 Mazda CX-90, sporting a beefy 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine under its bonnet, taking center stage in this heavyweight SUV’s list of features.
It’s clear as day – Mazda is gunning for the big dogs like the X5 and the GLE but with a twist – the CX-90 comes at a price that makes your wallet breathe a sigh of relief. The CX-90, along with its hybrid brother, has already been teased by Mazda, though we’re still itching to get our hands on them.

5. 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray
Slapping directly in the face of the purists, Chevy launched the Corvette E-Ray, which is a mid-engined, all-wheel-drive, hybrid Corvette. It might be a surprise, as the Corvette has always been known for being a front-engined and pure RWD machine, but with the C8 generation, Chevrolet planned for an electrified future already, and here we have it.
The E-Ray is quite affordable, as it is priced just above $100,000 while competing with cars that are sometimes double its price, such as the Porsche 911 Turbo, McLaren GT, Audi R8, etc.

4. 2024 Nissan GT-R
Next up, we have the 2024 Nissan GT-R, which was revealed back in January 2024. Even though it has slightly distinctive looks over the previous GT-R model, it has some sort of minor change to its mechanicals only.
What everyone expected was a new GT-R, but we believe that with the 2024 GT-R, Nissan is buying some time to create a legendary product as the successor to the GT-R. As we mentioned before, the 2024 GT-R is mechanically pretty similar to the one we used to get; it has a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine that sends its 600 horses to all four wheels.
The boxy-looking sports car used to handle better than most other supercars during its initial period; however, over the years, the stock GT-R has become just another sports car in the market, competing with the likes of the Chevrolet Corvette and the Porsche 911 Carrera.

The engine is also a new unit that has been borrowed from the Trailblazer; it is a 1.2-liter turbocharged three-cylinder that makes 137 horsepower. In terms of power, the 2024 Trax is going to make about 20 horsepower less than its predecessor, which is a significant number.
As of now, in the US market, the 2024 Chevy Trax will be competing against the likes of the Ford Ecosport, Honda HR-V, and Buick Encore.
