When you live in California, there is no big surprise when looking for trends in the new car market. The state has mandated that by 2035, every new car, SUV, and light-duty pickup sold must have zero tailpipe emissions. However, this does not mean we are looking toward freeways filled with tiny bubble mobiles that struggle to come up to speed.
Detroit has come a long way in the past decade and there is lots of excitement for the future.
As the worldwide automotive market dives further into the electrification program, designers are crafting rides designed to make us fall in love with cars all over again. Dodge debuted the 2024 Dodge Charger EV concept car last year, and it has everything the storied badge is known for. They are even going to add a 126-decibel “exhaust” so that we won’t miss the rumble of an old-school V8.
Subaru is working on the WRX, Nissan wants to bring back the Maxima, and even the much-discussed 2025 Ram Dakota mid-size pickup will offer an electric drivetrain. Every one of these new rides will include seriously competitive performance in the size and shape we want for our personal transportation.
If you upgraded to a 5G smartphone, you might wonder about the hotspot included with your next new car. The good news is that the major manufacturers are teaming up with the big cell networks to bring you 5G in the cockpit of your vehicle. You and all your passengers will be free to stream music, podcasts, and videos on your own devices without fighting for bandwidth. The 2023 Ford Super Duty and multiple GM vehicles are launching with 5G-capable connectivity this year.
In the early days of electric vehicles, a 100-mile range was considered excellent, while the cabin would barely comfortably seat two. But that hardly made it appealing to the average commuter who would use half that range just going to and from work. Well, 2024 sees multiple EVs rolling off the factory floor, able to run up to 300 miles on a single charge. Also, more options are appearing able to seat seven or eight occupants while still saving big on gas.
Keep a lookout for the 2024 Honda Prologue, a mid-size crossover, and the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette SUV with 3 rows of luxury seating.
For those of us who have transitioned to a work-from-home career, there may be fewer reasons to take your car out for a spin around town. What would you think if your condominium fees included the use of a shared vehicle that belonged to the HOA?
