Aston Martin Rapide E
Predicted Cost: $400,000
If it’s good enough for James Bond, it’s definitely good enough for us. Aston Martin is one of the world’s most luxurious car brands and is instantly recognizable no matter which angle you look at it. If you’ve got a whole lot of money and are looking for a car that will make you feel awesome while being extremely comfortable to drive (and saving the environment at the same time), the Aston Martin Rapide E is one of your best picks. The Rapide E is the first electric production car for Aston Martin, it outputs an insane 600 horsepower and can get up to 200 miles when fully charged.
Aston Martin decided to make a very limited amount of cars with the Rapide E model, with only 155 models being manufactured and sold. The design of the car remains identical to the fuel-based Rapide model and screams luxury and sports at the same time. Aston Martin’s CEO explained who the car is best suited for: “There’s a whole new breed of entrepreneurs out there who want the best car their money can buy, but it has to be electric.” Anyone up for starting a company?
Buick Encore GX
Predicted Cost: $29,000
One of the best recognized and most reliable car manufacturers in the United States since the early 20th century is undoubtedly General Motors. The company has hired millions of Americans over the years and provided jobs and pensions throughout the mid 20th century to many hard-working middle-class Americans. The company has always put an emphasis on keeping their designs, tech, and models up to date with the latest developments in order to stay competitive. Their latest advancement is an awesome upgrade to their entry-level car, the 2020 Buick Encore GX. What did the 2020 model get? Brand new twin three-cylinder engine.
The 2020 Buick Encore GX has a modest 137 horsepower and 166lb-ft of torque. While the twin three-cylinder engine is relatively rare in the United States, the company believes that the European invention will be embraced by Americans who are looking for a relatively the strong compact car that also works with a small budget.
Porsche Taycan
Predicted Cost: $150,900
Going from an entry-level car to one of the most luxurious and powerful brands in the vehicle industry, the 2020 Porsche Taycan is one of the ultimate “I’m rich and don’t mind if show it” cars on the market right now. We’ve all gotten used to Porsche being right on top of the technological curve, and the 2020 Porsche Taycan, which is projected to begin construction and manufacturing in September 2019, definitely does not disappoint. With the Taycan, Porsche is embracing environmentalism and works hard to minimize the impact of the car on global warming by mainly relying on electrical energy and biogas for heat.
Like many of Porsche’s cars, it will come in two different models. One for people who like extremely fast luxurious cars, and the other for people who like extremely fast luxurious cars that are even faster. The former will produce 616 horsepower and the latter 671 horsepower. Porsche also decided to manufacture this one in their new location in Zuffenhausen, Germany, that has been built specifically for the construction of this environmentally friendly beauty.
Chevy Silverado HD
Predicted Cost: $34,100
One of the strongest and most reliable vehicles on our list is without a doubt the 2020 Chevy Silverado. This beast is one of the most badass vehicles on the market. It can take you on just about any terrain while being able to tow up to 14,500 pounds without breaking a sweat. For anyone looking for an all-American car that just screams “manliness!” with a high-powered megaphone, the Silverado might just be your answer. The heavy-duty car has been well received for driving and reversing exceptionally well, even while towing or carrying heavy payloads. You can get this monster of a car in two versions, either a 6.6-liter V8 engine or a 6.6-liter V8 diesel engine, depending on your preference.
Despite its 5,022 pounds of weight, the 2020 Silverado goes from zero to sixty in only 7.1 seconds, meaning that it actually accelerates faster than many of the regular cars on our list. You can get the 2020 Silverado for mid-thirty-thousand dollars, but be prepared to also pay a big monthly gas bill if you’re planning on driving it often.
Ford Escape
Predicted Cost: $24,885
Ford has long been known for its wide range of consumer-friendly cars which span from entry-level compact cars, SUV’s and even muscle cars with the long-running Mustang (more on the 2020 Mustang later). The Ford Escape is one of Ford’s most popular and best-selling cars, hailed for its reliability, affordable cost and great power-to-dollar ratio. Ford is hoping to entice consumers to upgrade or switch to their new model, and have made sure that the 2020 Ford Escape is bringing us some much-desired improvements to better reflect the beginning of the new decade. The new changes range from a smoother and more sporty looking design to better technology and a slight improvement in power.
The 2020 Ford Escape has between 180 to 250 horsepower which is very respectable when compared to the vehicle’s price. It has three versions that have different engines for people who prefer speed over budget. The first version sports a 1.5 liter, four-cylinder engine, and the second has a 2-liter engine and the third has a 2.5-liter engine. With a choice between an eight-speed automatic engine and a continuously variable transmission, we think this car is a fantastic contender for entry-level vehicles.
