10 new cars that are worth waiting for in 2024 By Ted Welford, PA Motoring reporter While 2023 has been an excellent year for new car arrivals, 2024 looks to be an even more exciting 12 months. With a host of important new arrivals – from low-cost electric cars to flagship V12 supercars – due to arrive in the UK. But what are the most important arrivals expected and are they worth waiting for? Let’s take a look.
Dacia Spring
If you’ve wanted a low-cost new electric car in the UK, your options have been surprisingly limited. But that will change in 2024 with the arrival of the Dacia Spring.While it’s been on sale in other European countries for several years, this is the first time it will be sold in Britain.
Set to bring a price of under £20,000, it will comfortably undercut other EVs. Dacia promises a ‘substantially updated’ version when it does arrive in the middle of 2024.
Ford Explorer
Ford has been somewhat lagging behind many competitor brands when it comes to EVs, currently just having one electric car available. But in 2024 Ford will introduce the Explorer – a new mid-size electric SUV that’s expected to prove popular. The Explorer, which is based on Volkswagen’s electric architecture, will be produced in the same factory where the Fiesta was discontinued earlier in the year, though the new SUV has already been delayed. It should arrive by next summer.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 N
Up until now, manufacturers have struggled to make electric cars feel truly engaging, but that looks to change with the arrival of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N next year.The South Korean firm has already proven itself when it comes to EVs and performance cars and should be on to a winner by combining the two for the first time. Hyundai has introduced numerous features to help liven up the experience, including simulated gearshifts, and with 641bhp, it isn’t exactly short of performance. It’s a real one to watch out for in 2024.
Lamborghini Revuelto
From electric cars, we arrive at monstrous V12 supercars with the Lamborghini Revuelto – the long-awaited replacement for the famed Aventador. But even this supercar now adopts electrification, courtesy of a plug-in hybrid setup. This primarily serves to boost performance rather than efficiency, however, with the Revuelto developing a monstrous 841bhp. It features the typically outlandish Lamborghini design and will be one of the most wild arrivals to the new car market in 2024.
