Cadillac XT6
Predicted Cost: $52,695
When people think of American cars, one of the first car companies that come to mind is Cadillac. The car company is often associated with luxury and power, from its boxy and bulky designs to the powerful and loud engines. Now that we’re entering into the new decade, Cadillac has updated its models and the commercially successful and critically acclaimed Cadillac XT6 car series also received some fantastic upgrades.
The XT6 is not as large as Cadillac Escalade, which is the manufacturer’s most popular car among consumers. The car has three rows and seven seats, it’s a mean crossover that takes the best out of the SR6 and improves on it even further. In terms of performance, the XT6 will take you to your destination relatively fast and at only a slightly premium price, with just shy over 300 horsepower and a $50,000* price tag. Many critics have compared the car to the Lincoln Aviator and found it slightly better.
Volvo Polestar 1
Predicted Cost: $63,000
Volvo has always flirted with groundbreaking technologies in its quest to create the perfect riding experience for its loyal customers. The Volvo Polestar 1 is a brand new piece of technology with a slick look and insane horsepower. Let’s get into the details: the Polestar 1 sports an all-wheel drive, a beautiful and sporty carbon-fiber body and a whopping 591 horsepowers and over 700 lb-ft of torque. What’s most exciting about this unique Volvo invention is its use of hybrid technology, which both helps the car’s performance and makes it extremely environmentally friendly.
How does the hybrid engine of the Polestar 1 fare in terms of performance? With a battery of 34 kilowatts, the car will allegedly get you around 93 miles of driving purely on electrical power. You can charge the car by plugging it into an electricity station, which is becoming a lot simpler and easier as hybrids and electric cars are becoming more and more popular as environmental awareness grows..
Lamborghini Sian
Predicted Cost: $3.4 million
Let’s be honest here, whether you’re a huge fan of eco-friendly cars, or whether you swear by diesel, there’s not a single person in the world who would not be happy to own the supercharged, street-legal hybrid Lamborghini’s Sian. Fans have been faithfully waiting for a long time to finally get updated on the status of the most ambitious and exciting project Lamborghini has taken up in recent decades. Last year, in September 2019, the curtain was finally raised and the world got its first look at the newest creation from the supercar brand.
Lamborghini left no stone unturned in creating this incredible machine and every expense needed was spent on making it as perfect as humanly possible. The Lamborghini’s Sian has a perfect exterior that captures everything amazing about the Aventador and makes it even better. What got everyone most excited isn’t the outer appearance though, rather, it's what’s under the hood that really made us grin. Inside the Lamborghini Sian, you’ll find a 6.5 L L539 V12 hybrid engine that has a top speed of around 220 miles per hour and can go from zero to sixty in just 2.8 seconds, making it arguably the most powerful Lamborghini in the company’s history.
Dodge Viper
Predicted Cost: $120,000
Not many vehicles can be named after a snake and manage to pull it off with flying colors. The Dodge Viper is one of the rare cars that does exactly that, and it’s just as menacing as you’d hope. The Dodge Viper was first released back in the late ‘80s but was discontinued for various reasons. Sometime in 2008, rumors started proliferating about the possibility of return of the legendary Viper. Fans of the supercar were ecstatic when the rumors were finally confirmed by Dodge. It looks like the waiting has paid off, because the new Viper, which is set to arrive in late 2020, looks more badass than ever and has the horsepower to justify.
Dodge has reported that its supercar will have a turbocharged naturally-aspirated V8 engine boasting 550 horsepower of unbridled force. Valiant buyers will also have the option of purchasing an even stronger version of the supercar that reportedly has 700 horsepower. The Viper’s red colors are practically a must, with the only available colors of choice being either red or orange, which is quite fitting since the only people who would seriously consider buying one would certainly not mind the attention. There's a high chance that the car will be launched with an optional manual transmission for avid sports racers.
Mini Cooper SE
Predicted Cost: $38,000
Love it or hate it, the Mini Cooper has become a very popular car. Some will credit Cooper’s popularity to its tiny body, which gives it the ability to park in some very tough places - sometimes even in a perpendicular fashion. Others will tell you that they love the car because of the powerful engine relative to the car’s price, mostly due to its very light build. The Mini Cooper SE is the first mass-produced electric car and has been making the rounds on roads since it was introduced back in 2017 (which feels now like a decade ago). The 2020 Mini Cooper SE carries a powerful 181 horsepower engine which gives a lot of performance due to its lightweight. It has a range of almost 170 miles, which should work for most daily commuters just perfectly.
Some of the new technologies that you’ll get with the model are regenerative braking, auto Start-Stop functionality, and Switch Point Display – which all come with the base version of the vehicle. The Cooper SE also charges itself slightly using a futuristic technology called “regenerative braking,'' where the energy that’s lost through braking is recycled into the battery using an Intelligent Alternator Control and an Absorbent Glass Mat battery. Should you go for the Mini Cooper S or the SE? It depends mostly on your wallet, but the differences are respectable.
