Best New Cars Coming In 2025 & 2026 You MUST Wait For

Well... I was getting ready to buy a 2025 model next spring/summer, but you have persuasively convinced me to wait until the new 2026 CX5, Forester, and Rav4 come to market. Unfortunately, I lust for the new 2026 Honda Passport but fear it will be too big and expensive for me.

Mazda, just bring the CX-60 to the US as the CX5 replacement.

[@afcgeo882]

I agree 100%

[@naonomeado]

I agree but disagree haha. The platform and price are different bcok of its power train. 2.5 or 2.5turbo in cx5 against the in-line 6 3.3 turbo.( If I'm not wrong), it's a huge difference to ask as its replacement

[@afcgeo882]

@ Why? The CX-5 is an odd duck in the lineup. It’s from the old family, with old nomenclature. The 50 replaces it. So now there’s a hole in the line-up in the mid-size CUV category and what’s better than a 6 cylinder to fill that? It would compete with the Passport, Highlander and Grand Cherokee directly. The only thing missing from it is an optional hybrid.

[@markmcallister9431]

Thank you for the teaser preview. I am most interested in the new Subaru Forester Hybrid and would love to watch an in-depth review of it.

[@ztekz]

While the in-house developed CX-5 hybrid and Subaru hybrids coming out in future, I’d be sceptical on buying any of them as they’re brand new systems and haven’t been proven for reliability and longevity. I only trust hybrids from Toyota or Honda that have been doing hybrids for at least 2 decades now. Even Kia/Hyundai hybrids haven’t been around that long to be proven to stand the test of time!

[@afcgeo882]

To be fair, even Toyota’s new truck hybrids are having major issues with the engines. Anything new is always not fully baked.

[@craignovy2090]

This channel goes from awesome to awesome in previewing coming new vehicles. I drive a Corolla IM and really like the Subaru Crosstrek but since up to now no hybrid would go with the Corolla Cross hybrid. Thanks to this channel another possibility appears in the near future. Many thanks to you!

[@jhupes3]

More on the new Rav4 please. We bought a new one this last year. It's a limited hybrid that has 2. tone seats and a large screen. It's very nice but it is a bit noisy on the road, and not so smooth driving. So, I'm wondering how much nicer the new one will be if you can find one to buy.

[@ztekz]

That’s why I bought the CRV hybrid. Much refined drive and quiet interior than the RAV4 hybrid! Besides, the wait in our area was 1-1.5yr!

[@afcgeo882]

How is it not smooth driving? I have a 21 RAV4 hybrid and it’s the smoothest hybrid on the road.

[@doc_oc5133]

ADX is the most compelling...can't wait

[@Flying-Fox19]

All of the Toyota hybrids are the best new cars in 2025 because people who ordered in 2023 will finally get their vehicles. When the CX5, Forestor, and Rogue hybrids are available, it will be end of 2026/2027 before customers can start to drive them. Forget these models are coming as it will take forever. For now you can pick up the CRV hybrid and Korean ones easily the former being quite pricey.

[@b.f.378]

I'm surprised a new CX-5 is coming (it's a great seller) but I thought Mazda was just renaming their vehicles with "0" at the end. CX-9--> CX-90. CX-7 --> CX-70... I know the CX-50 already exists

solid state rechargeable hybrid batteries??

[@cathysteinbuck1475]

I would like to know if/when Lexus is making a solid state battery for an all electric car? And hopefully later the plugin hybrid? We asked them earlier in the year and they thought it was for 2025, but at the dealer last week there was no news. We have a gas 2022 RX350 and love it but would consider other options if the solid state were to become available (preferably in a plugin hybrid, I don't care for all electric).

[@mrnarason]

where the heck is the HRV hybrid

[@iComeInPeace8]

Toyota “playing it safe” with next gen RAV4 would be a huge mistake IMO. The RAV4’s greatest edge was that it had the only good reliable hybrid system in its segment. Competitors have offered better refinement, design, dynamics, NVH characteristics etc, that can easily cut into Toyota’s market share when the hybrids come online. Also, the way Toyota dealers have treated their customer base in the past few years have left people actively searching for alternatives.

[@dariuschicic8141]

I'm sure I'm not the first to say this but that new Honda Passport is very Ford Bronco-esque. The Acura ADX could be good. The HR-V is good, but has some bad things, like the seats being too hard and a bad shape, and the engine being underpowered. The ADX looks like it's addressing these kinds of negatives. I think they should also make the suspension a little softer, but they will probably throw some larger wheels and stiffer suspension because dumb buyers think that a sporty feeling suspension is a luxury. The Subaru e-boxer is interesting. I hope it marries well to the AWD. Toyota has really matured their hybrid product, so it's a good time to be taking advantage of the partnership.

The CRV is nice just seems to have too large of a body. The larger the body and smaller the engine/hp , the more problems. The Rav looks real bad in design and the wheel trim is way to high and looks strange. The subarus all have problems within low mileage according to mechanics.

More expensive SUVs coming our way. Expensive to buy, expensive to own when the hybrid components begin to fail unless you intend to lease it for 3 years and the subsequent owners have to deal with it. Meanwhile I'm here looking to replace my lease, when it's up next year, with a used Scion with a manual transmission and low miles. Maybe a Yaris. I definitely don't want to deal with modern car reliability issues/over complicated designs, or the monthly payment.

[@dennisking7469]

ADX,ALL DAY!!

[@johnsanford3596]

If Nissan doesn't sort out their transmission issues with their CVTs, they are going to have a really hard row to hoe with the Rogue. The insistence by car makers to drop the roof line on their compact and subcompact SUVs really, really hurts them. I realize they're doing it primarily for aerodynamics, but seriously, how about making something that 4 ADULTS can comfortably ride in? Rear seat headroom is one of the reasons that midsize 4 door pick-'em-up trucks continue to hold their own, it sure as hell ain't because of the dinky-ass truck beds on those things. So, for me, the three that I'm looking forward to hitting the market the most are the Mazda CX-5, the Honda Pilot (HEADROOOOOOOOM), and the Nissan Murano (buh bye CVT). The ADX is interesting in principle, but between the over-wrought front end and the dropping roofline, 'tis unlikely I'd do more than climb in for a gander. Of course, that front end may look a LOT better in person to me than it does in pics.
