We’re only a month into 2018, but the year has already proven to be an exciting one for the automotive industry. We’re seeing cars that are faster than ever, trucks that can take on more difficult terrain than ever, and sedans that have more sophisticated styling and advanced technology than ever. We may not have flying cars yet, but we have some pretty impressive features that make driving fun.
You may have a hard time choosing from all the wonderful options available this year. We’ve made it a little easier with our picks for the best new cars of 2018:
Truck: 2018 Ford F-150
Ford has long been the leader in trucks, and the latest F-150 shows why it deserves to be. This impressive truck comes with an excellent engine selection with class-leading capability. At the top of the line, the power train puts out a commanding 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. That engine and the 10-speed automatic transmission put enough muscle under the hood to tow up to 13,200 pounds, which is the best in the class. But this truck isn’t all brawn and no beauty. The sleek exterior is imposing yet stylish, and the interior has innovative tech features such as a high-end audio system, an infotainment system with optional wi-fi connectivity, and active safety assists such as adaptive cruise control. You get everything you need in a truck with the 2018 Ford F-150.
SUV: 2018 Ford EcoSport
The SUV has always been a popular choice, both among professionals and singles who like the cool styling of the SUV and among families who want the additional space but don’t want a minivan. One thing that has always been a sticking point is the outrageous fuel consumption that SUVs have. The 2018 Ford EcoSport solves that problem, offering reduced fuel consumption in a stylish package. The sporty SUV has a 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine provides impressive performance, but it is more efficient than most SUV power trains. The subcompact SUV is light on its wheels and has fun features like the Sync 3 infotainment system and plugs in the rear for entertainment devices.
Sedan: 2018 Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry has long been one of the most popular cars in its class, and the 2018 model offers even more to love in this mid-size sedan. Aggressive new styling will turn heads when you drive down the road in the 2018 Camry, and improvements to the power train offer a sportier drive. Five trim levels are available, assuring that you get just what you want in terms of power train, interior features, and safety technology. Get an impressive 32 mpg fuel economy, and enjoy the affordable starting price of just over $23,000.
If you have been thinking about buying a new car, 2018 is the year to do it. These are some of the best available right now, but there are many more options that may suit your budget or your particular preferences better.
