2021 Cadillac Escalade
With an estimated starting price of around $80,000, the Cadillac Escalade represents the top end of the family SUV market. It runs on a 6.2-liter, V8 engine delivering 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. It is available in both Sport and Luxury models. With the back seats down, it offers 142.8 cubic feet of cargo space. But space and power aren’t enough to command the premium this SUV does, so the Escalade is packed with performance and experience features as well. The dash features the industry’s first curved OLED screen, which is customizable and has twice the pixel density of a 4k television screen.
2021 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06
For the hot rodder at heart, the iconic sports ride from Chevrolet continues in 2021. There are a variety of models available, ranging from the coupe starting at $59,995 to the convertible at $67,495. But fans of the brand are waiting on the elusive C8 Corvette Z06, which is expected to come with a price tag of around $86,800. This version, a performance variant of the popular mid-engine model, is rumored to have an engine in excess of 600 horsepower and be able to roar from zero to 60 mph in a mere 2.8 seconds. Recent production complications from the COVID-19 pandemic may delay its debut.
2021 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
For those looking for an optimum executive ride, the S-Class from Mercedes-Benz should do the trick, starting at an estimated $95,000. It runs on a 3.0-liter, turbo-boost engine with 429 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque. Known for a sublime driving experience, the new S-Class features the second generation of MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience), with up to five interface screens in the cabin and more than 50 electronic components with over-the-air capability. Ambient interior lighting is provided by 250 installed LEDs. Combined with the ultra-luxurious interiors the brand is known for, this will be a pleasure to drive.
2021 Ford GT
FInally, one for the dreamers. The official word is not out yet on the 2021 Ford GT, but potential buyers can expect the vehicle to start at around $500,000. The company recently announced that the only changes in 2021 will be expanded aesthetic options on the 2020 version. Simply put, the GT is what happens when you take the engineers from one of the most prolific brands and let them go all-out. Hence, it is known as the “Supercar.” From a lightweight, sculpted carbon fiber body to a 3.5-liter, V6 engine that churns out 647 horsepower (it’s a racing car at heart), the Ford GT is an automotive work of art.
