Top ICE cars and SUVs to appear in 2025
2025 Toyota RAV4 - long awaited restyling
Toyota releases a restyling of the current generation of the RAV4 SUV, introduced six years ago with great success in the United States.

The new Kia Telluride will be bright, reliable, and as electric as possible. There's no escape from trends, but Kia did everything smartly: the presentation and assembly were carried out in the USA to occupy the local market immediately. The hybrid system will be common with the Hyundai Palisade, and the SUV will receive a 3.8-liter V6 engine. Although the premiere is promised for 2025, forecasts for the start of sales are shifted a year ahead.
2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE - new generation of the famous C-class
Fans, and the whole world, will finally see the new generation of the C-class, and in three modifications at once (coupe, sedan, and station wagon).

2025 Ford Explorer - restyling with a view to the future
The Ford Explorer will get a complete update only in 2027. After the 2025 restyling, which brings a 13.2-inch touchscreen and a digital instrument panel, the next version will receive even more changes. A new Tremor version will replace the off-road-oriented Explorer Timberline trim. There are also rumors about the return of a hybrid version of this Ford model. Unfortunately, more detailed specifications will appear at least in a year.
Top new electric and hybrid models for 2025
2025 Toyota Highlander - an updated SUV with excellent performance
The Toyota Highlander release is planned for 2025. This date has a symbolic meaning and coincides with the 25th anniversary of the model's release - it will be the 25th Edition. The premiere has already taken place, but it will not reach the mass buyers soon. So far, the manufacturer promises a powerful engine that produces almost 270 hp and an 8-speed automatic transmission, but the brand also went further and made another version - a hybrid. Toyota decided to keep up with the trends, so this hybrid produces less power in total - 246 hp, but more environmentally safe.
2025 Honda HR-V - a new generation hybrid crossover
The brand fans who value it for quality and reliability will be pleased with the 2025 Honda HR-V. The manufacturer has relied on updating electronics and technologies, so inside the 2025 HR-V, drivers will find improved assistance systems, various cameras, and sensors. The only disappointment is the absence of all-wheel drive in this new Honda model.
2025 Hyundai IONIQ 9 - new flagship crossover
Hyundai is preparing to release a new flagship electric crossover IONIQ 9. This Hyundai model will be the largest SUV in the Ioniq lineup and will demonstrate to buyers a combination of luxury, space, and advanced technology. Details about the technical characteristics have not yet been disclosed. It is expected that the IONIQ 9 will go on sale in 2025. However, the price may be a bit high compared to other Hyundai models.
2025 BMW i7 - luxury electric sedan
BMW has always been famous for its elegant, technologically advanced executive sedans that provide incredible comfort. They combined all this in an electric BMW i7, a competitor to the Tesla Model S. In addition to advanced safety systems and autopilot, there is a powerful engine and luxurious design.
2025 Volvo EX90 – electric crossover with autonomous control
Many new crossovers have been announced for the next year, but the Volvo EX90 stands out among them with its top-end electronic filling. For example, Volvo engineers promise an autopilot that is not inferior to Tesla Full Self-Driving. At the same time, the EX90 car will also get advanced safety systems. And it will be impressive in size, offering a spacious interior and trunk.
The complex technological process of designing and producing cars makes the entire path from a raw concept to a finished version a year-long or more, and various overlaps and delays are still possible. But we’ll be waiting for these new models.
It’s high time to think about selling your used car while it still holds good value.
Of course, these are not all the new products of the coming year, and some models will see the light of day closer to the end of 2025, so they have not been announced yet. But even these cars are enough to anticipate the new year and consider selling the previous versions before they become one year older and depreciate even more.
