Looking to purchase a brand new car this year? You’ve come to the right place! Buying a new car isn’t something that should be done on the spur of an hour. You need to carefully evaluate what you need and how you will use the car before you buy it to ensure that it’s the best vehicle for you. From the moment you enter a showroom – and no matter which model or brand you choose to drive away – you’re making an investment that’s planned to last for a long time. You’ll want something that looks good and makes you feel good every morning when you head off to work, but you’ll also want to know that it’ll wear well and be around for many years to come.
We’ve researched all the latest models to bring you the best picks of the lot. Here are all the cars that are worth shortlisting.
Volkswagen Arteon
Designed to be the new VW flagship sedan, the Volkswagen Arteon not only looks good, but it has plenty of technology and power under its hood to back up its good looks. This isn’t a big and brash machine, though; it’s one that’s both powerful and fun to drive. The Arteon is available in the state-of-the-art SE and SE R-Line trims with either front- or all-wheel drive, and there are plenty of advanced driver assistance features packed into this German chariot as well. The interior may take a little longer to grow on us compared to the striking exterior, but for around $40,000, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything better.
Buick Envision
Even when people don’t know Buick, they have a general idea of what the brand is about. The Envision turns the idea on its head and builds that idea into something interesting instead. It’s a stylish-looking crossover SUV with a price tag under $35,000 and room to seat as many as seven people. While it’s not as sporty as the BMW X3 or Jaguar F-Pace, careful observers will see that this Buick is more than just an Opel or GMC dressed up in new clothes. The Envision makes the Buick brand seem more like a contender than a bottom drawer relic.
Honda Ridgeline
The Honda Ridgeline is a truck unlike any you’ve ever seen. Built with a monocoque chassis and unibody construction, it’s more like a crossover SUV than it is a traditional body-on-frame truck. It was originally designed for women since its comfy ride quality and family-friendly demeanor make it easy to drive every day. Featuring four full-size doors, plenty of interior space, a 64-inch long and 60-inch wide bed, the Ridgeline is a mature pick. With 280 horsepower at your fingertips and the capability to tow up to 5,000 pounds, you’ll be working hard to find flaws in this capable lifestyle truck.
