秋季通常是汽车制造商发布新年多数车型的时候。其中大部分将是此前设计的延续，但也有不少是全新车型或进行重大改款的车型。如果你正考虑在未来六个月内购买新车，了解哪些车型有重大变化或带来显著突破将大有裨益。为了让你抢先了解未来几个月即将推出的新车，埃德蒙兹的汽车专家们挑选了五款值得等待的车型。
小型SUV：2027款日产Rogue混动版
日产最畅销的车型即将迎来自2021年以来的首次全面改款，而且这次改动意义重大。第四代Rogue小型SUV将首次搭载名为E-Power的全新混合动力系统，其工作方式更接近纯电动车，而非传统混合动力。该系统由一台小型汽油发动机充当发电机，为电池充电，再由电池驱动电动机，进而带动Rogue行驶。日产表示，与普通版Rogue相比，这套系统能有效降低噪音，并带来更快的加速体验。日产还预估，Rogue混动版在综合城市/高速路况下的油耗可达每加仑38英里（约合百公里6.2升）。这一数据略低于本田CR-V和丰田RAV4混动版的表现，但对于一款小型SUV而言，已经非常出色。
起售价：37,065美元（含目的地费用）
三排座SUV：2028款丰田汉兰达
2028款汉兰达将迎来重大变革，成为一款纯电动三排座SUV，官方续航里程最高可达320英里。如果消费者仍希望购买燃油版或混动版的三排座丰田SUV，则需考虑尺寸更大的大汉兰达。不过，即便不升级到更大版本，其第三排座椅也能提供相当舒适的乘坐体验，即使对成年人而言也是如此。埃德蒙兹在对新款纯电汉兰达的首次试驾中发现，新车型的第三排座椅远比现款车型舒适。目前，除现代Ioniq 9和起亚EV9外，面向大家庭的三排座电动SUV并不多见，因此我们很高兴看到丰田推出一款全新的选择。
预估起售价：60,000美元
豪华SUV：2027款奥迪Q9
与此同时，奥迪正逐步淘汰其长期以来的旗舰轿车A8，转而推出了一款全新的全尺寸三排座SUV。2027款Q9是奥迪有史以来制造的最大车型，其目标直指宝马X7和梅赛德斯-奔驰GLS等德国老牌竞争对手。动力方面，该车搭载了一台429马力的涡轮增压V6发动机。车内提供七座布局，或更高级的六座布局（第二排采用独立船长座椅）。Q9的第三排乘坐空间比Q7宽敞得多，而Q7今年也将迎来改款。此外，奥迪还为Q9配备了其所有最新的科技和驾驶辅助功能。
起售价：89,095美元（含目的地费用）
紧凑型皮卡：2027款Slate卡车
在2027年车型中，没有哪款车能像Slate Truck那样在精打细算的消费者中引发如此大的关注。这款车是美国一家初创汽车公司推出的首款车型。Slate Truck是一款极简风格的双座电动皮卡，尺寸比福特Maverick还要小。按照设计，它出厂时不带车漆，甚至没有信息娱乐触摸屏。相反，它鼓励车主按自己的喜好进行个性化定制，甚至可以选择将货厢改造成座椅区域，从而将这款皮卡变身为五座SUV。作为一款平价车型，Slate Truck确实颇具吸引力，但入手前务必擦亮眼睛：它缺少许多你在其他车辆上习以为常的功能，而且其预估续航里程仅为205英里（约330公里），这一点也令人担忧。
起售价：26,400美元，含目的地费用
全尺寸皮卡：2027款雪佛兰Silverado 1500
雪佛兰的全尺寸皮卡自2019年以来将迎来首次重新设计，这应使其成为福特F-150、Ram 1500和丰田塔科马更有力的竞争对手。2027款索罗德1500采用了更大胆的外观设计、全新内饰，并标配16.3英寸触摸屏。在沿用涡轮增压四缸和柴油六缸发动机的基础上，新增了两款V8发动机选项。5.7升V8发动机可产生402马力，而更大的6.2升V8发动机则输出481马力，两者均比索罗德此前的V8发动机更强劲。预计顶级配置将提供通用汽车的免手驾驶技术Super Cruise。与所有全尺寸皮卡一样，该车型将提供多种版本——确切地说是七种，其中面向越野的ZR2或豪华版High Country起售价超过8万美元。
预估起售价：40,000美元
埃德蒙兹表示

Fall is typically when automakers release the majority of their models for the new year. Most will be continuations of prior designs, but theres also a good number that are all-new or getting major redesigns. If youre thinking about buying a new vehicle in the next six months, it can be useful to know which ones have major changes or offer notable breakthroughs. To give you an inside scoop on whats coming down the pike in the next few months, the automotive experts at Edmunds have picked five vehicles that promise to be well worth the wait.
Small SUV: 2027 Nissan Rogue Hybrid
Nissans best-selling model is getting its first full redesign since 2021, and its a significant one. The fourth-generation Rogue small SUV debuts with a new hybrid powertrain called E-Power that works more like an electric vehicle than a traditional hybrid. A small gas engine acts as a generator, recharging a battery that powers the electric motors driving the Rogue. The result is reduced noise and quicker acceleration compared to the regular Rogue, Nissan says. Nissan also estimates that the Rogue Hybrid will get 38 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Thats a bit less than what the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 hybrids can do, but its still very good for a small SUV.
Starting price: $37,065, including destination fees
Three-row SUV: 2028 Toyota Highlander
The Highlander undergoes a massive change for 2028, becoming an all-electric three-row SUV with a quoted range of up to 320 miles. Buyers who still want a gas- or hybrid-powered three-row Toyota SUV will need to look at the larger Grand Highlander. But you neednt step up to the bigger version to get a reasonably comfortable third row, even for adults. Edmunds first drive in the new all-electric Highlander showed the new versions way-back seat to be much more comfortable than the outgoing models. Besides the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9, there arent many three-row EVs aimed at bigger families, so were excited to see Toyota offering an all-new alternative.
Estimated starting price: $60,000
Luxury SUV: 2027 Audi Q9
At the same time Audi is sunsetting the longstanding A8 flagship sedan, its adding a new full-size three-row SUV. The 2027 Q9 is the largest vehicle Audi has ever built, and its aimed squarely at rival German stalwarts like the BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS. Power comes from a 429-horsepower turbocharged V6. Inside, theres seating for seven or a more premium six-passenger layout with second-row captains chairs. The Q9s third-row seating area is considerably roomier than the one in the Q7, which also gets a redesign this year. Audi has also fitted the Q9 with all of its latest technology and driver assist features.
Starting price: $89,095, including destination
Compact pickup: 2027 Slate Truck
No 2027 model has generated more buzz among budget-conscious shoppers than the Slate Truck, the debut model from an American startup automotive company. The Truck is a bare-bones two-seat electric pickup thats smaller than a Ford Maverick. By design, it comes without factory paint or even an infotainment touchscreen. Instead, buyers are encouraged to personalize it to their liking, up to and including the option to turn the cargo bed into a seating area and effectively turn the Truck into a five-seat SUV. The Slate Truck is an intriguing option for affordable vehicle, but go in with your eyes wide open: It lacks many features you might take for granted in other vehicles, and its estimated range of just 205 miles is a concern.
Starting price: $26,400, including destination
Full-size pickup: 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Chevrolets full-size truck is getting its first redesign since 2019, and that should make it a more capable rival to the Ford F-150, Ram 1500 and Toyota Tacoma. The 2027 Silverado 1500 brings a bolder exterior design, a new interior and a standard 16.3-inch touchscreen. Two new V8 engine options join the carryover turbocharged four-cylinder and diesel six-cylinder. The 5.7-liter V8 produces 402 horsepower, while the larger 6.2-liter V8 cranks out 481 horsepower. Both are more powerful than the Silverados previous V8s. Expect Super Cruise GMs hands-free driving technology to be available on top trims. And like all full-size trucks, there will be many variants seven to be exact, topping out at more than $80,000 for the off-road-oriented ZR2 or the luxurious High Country.
Estimated starting price: $40,000
Edmunds says
The new model year is jam-packed with big updates for some of the most popular vehicles on the market. These models we listed above will have some significant advantages over a vehicle in the here and now. Buyers shopping for new wheels will have a lot of exciting options to choose from in the next few months.
