2020

Acura TLX: Look for a hybrid or plug-in hybrid version of the TLX in 2020, when it joins the Accord and others on Honda's modular platform.

Audi A6/S6: Expect the redesigned sedans to arrive in 2020 with Audi's e-tron plug-in hybrid global powertrain available in the U.S.

Audi A7/S7/RS 7: A new generation of Audi's fastback sedan will arrive in 2020 with e-tron plug-in hybrid models to follow.

BMW i3: A redesign of the i3 is expected in 2020.

BMW X3: An electric version of BMW's small crossover will arrive in 2020.

Chevrolet Bolt EV: Chevy will look to update the Bolt, which offers an estimated 238-mile range per battery charge, in about three years.

Chrysler Pacifica: The well-regarded minivan, which comes in a plug-in hybrid version with a battery range of 33 miles, will be freshened in 2020.

Genesis GV70: The compact crossover bows in 2020 and should become Genesis' volume seller. Hybrid or plug-in hybrid versions are possible.

Maserati Alfieri: The concept two-seat coupe debuted at the 2014 Geneva auto show and was to arrive in 2016, followed immediately by a convertible. Now it looks like the Alfieri hardtop won't arrive until at least 2020, and it's rumored to be undergoing a redesign as an EV.

Mercedes-Benz E class: A plug-in version of the E-class sedan already is sold outside the U.S. but likely won't come here until after a 2020 freshening of the vehicle line.

Mercedes-Benz EQA: A production version of the EQA concept, a compact hatchback shown in Frankfurt, is expected to go to market around 2020.

Mini Countryman: Mini's largest nameplate, which gained a plug-in variant with this year's redesign, will be freshened in 2020.

Mitsubishi EV: With the electric i-MiEV getting the ax, Mitsubishi's replacement EV likely will come in the form of a rebadged or reconfigured second-gen Nissan Leaf. The body style remains unknown; it could be a crossover. Look for this to debut around 2020 with a range of more than 200 miles on a charge.

Tesla Model S: After giving its flagship sedan a new nose in April 2016, Tesla is expected to redesign the Model S in 2020.

Tesla Model X: Given the compact crossover's delayed launch, a redesign is unlikely until 2024 or 2025. The falcon-wing doors have proved to be a manufacturing headache for the automaker, and will probably stay for the short term to make the most of Tesla's investment. A mild freshening — such as the grille change the Model S received in 2016 — could come in 2020.

Porsche sedan EV: A production version of the 600-hp Mission E concept will go on sale in the U.S. in late 2019 or, more likely, early 2020, though with a different name. It's expected to have a higher level of autonomous driving features than Porsche has put in its vehicles to date and multiple variants with different levels of power. Porsche is targeting annual sales of about 20,000 vehicles.

Volkswagen EV: VW will launch the first EV based on its new MEB EV platform architecture in the U.S. in 2020. It is expected to be based on the I.D. Crozz crossover concept the brand showed at the Shanghai auto show.

Volkswagen e-Golf: A redesign of the Golf and e-Golf has been moved up a year to 2020.
