New car launches we’re looking forward to in 2023

There are many amazing vehicles on their way to South Africa next year, ranging from sporty sedans and sensible SUVs, to emissions-free electric vehicles (EVs), cool crossovers, and everything in between.

In the popular SUV segment, incoming models include the likes of the all-new plug-in hybrid BMW XM, Chery Omoda 5, Mahindra Scorpio N, Mazda CX-60, Renault Arkana, Suzuki Grand Vitara, and Toyota Crown.

Bakkies are also in for a big year with the debut of the V6-powered Ford Ranger Raptor, compact Renault Oroch, second-generation VW Amarok, and the hybrid JAC T9 Hunter – the latter of which will be the first partially-electrified model in the bakkie segment.

In the high-performance arena, the big four German automakers Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche, have lined up exciting launches in the form of the RS6 and RS7 Performance Editions, the new M2, the plug-in-hybrid C63 S E Performance, and the 911 Dakar.

On the electric side of things, new-energy aficionados can expect the market introduction of the battery-powered BMW iX1, Mercedes-Benz EQE and EQS SUV, and Volvo C40 Recharge.
