We love being among the first to tell you about driving our favorite new cars, sure — but it’s nearly as much fun keeping you up to date on all the latest reports, rumors and projections for future cars coming down the road.

In 2023, we covered the latest updates and launches on everything from new off-road trucks and SUVs to swanky three-row family EVs. But there were certain cars that our readers gravitated to more frequently than others.

Here are the 15 upcoming cars that captured readers’ imaginations the most in 2023. (Note: some of these vehicles have come out by now, but they were all future cars at the beginning of the year and for much of it henceforth, so we’re including them in this list due to the interest they drove over the course of the whole calendar year.)
