When Do 2027 Cars Actually Arrive?
Here is the thing, a car with a model year of 2027 is not necessarily a 2027 car. Automakers tend to release a new model year in their showrooms well before the new year starts, which means that many cars labeled as 2027 will already be available in the second half of 2026.
Most manufacturers tend to produce the model year change in their cars in late summer or even earlier in the year. This means that when you go shopping in the fall of 2026, you may already find yourself driving a 2027 car. Some manufacturers even bring out a few popular models, such as electric cars, a little earlier than the rest. If you want the latest technology and safety features, it is critical to keep an eye on the model year rather than the actual year.
Best New Trucks and SUVs Coming in 2027
Trucks and SUVs still dominate American driveways, and 2027 brings some genuinely big changes here.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (Full Redesign)
Chevy’s best-selling pickup truck got its long-awaited update. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 will feature two new naturally aspirated V8 engines, the most powerful in the company’s history, an improved turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and a refined 3.0-liter Duramax diesel. The model’s range will be streamlined to seven variants, from the value-oriented Work Truck to the luxurious High Country. All models will get a larger digital instrument cluster and upgraded towing features.
Ford’s New Midsize Electric Truck
Ford #39;s First-Ever Vehicle on New EV Platform Will Be Small-to-Midsize Electric Pickup Offered at Introduction for Around $30,000, Sources Say #34;
Ford is developing its first-ever vehicle on a new electric vehicle (EV) platform, a small-to-midsize electric pickup truck that will initially have the wheelbase of a Maverick but offer the interior space of a RAV4. The vehicle will be priced at approximately $30,000 at introduction and employ low-cost LFP batteries, and will be produced at the company #39;s Louisville, Kentucky, factory with a 2027 launch expected.
Scout Terra and Traveler
The revived American brand from Volkswagen Group, Scout Motors, is set to unveil an electric truck and SUV that would be characterized by their robust, retro aesthetic. The company promises up to 350 miles of range on a single charge, and an optional gas engine to extend it to the tune of 500 or so miles, while the towing capacity will max out at 7,000 pounds. Scout expects the vehicles to be produced in South Carolina, with a starting price of less than $60,000 and a direct sales model as opposed to franchising dealerships.
Best New Sports Cars Coming in 2027
If performance is more your thing, 2027 might be the best year for enthusiasts in a long time.
Toyota Celica Returns as a Mid-Engine Sports Car
Toyota is set to revive the Celica nameplate, but the new model is likely to be very different from the front-engine coupe everyone remembers. Based on reports, it will most likely be a mid-engine sports car using a modified GR Yaris platform with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing near 400 horsepower. A 6-speed manual is also expected to be available, as well as a quick ratio automatic. The Japanese pricing is estimated to be around $45,000 and $55,000 yen, which would be higher than the expected import duty and dealers’ markups in the United States. The car is expected to debut in 2027 at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Nissan Skyline Comes Back (as an Infiniti in the US)
Nissan’s Skyline nameplate is returning, and it will be powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 making up to 450 horsepower and will use rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission. American buyers will not see the Skyline badge, as it is set to launch as an Infiniti, and will most likely replace the Q50 or Q60 as a sporty premium sedan, and the top model will most likely be priced at around 65,000 dollars.
Lamborghini Temerario
Lamborghini’s replacement for the Huracan swaps the old V10 for a hybrid V8 setup, reportedly producing around 920 horsepower and hitting 60 mph in about 2.7 seconds. It’s a clear sign of where Lamborghini is headed as it electrifies its lineup, while still keeping the drama buyers expect from the brand.
Best New EVs and Luxury Cars Coming in 2027
Genesis GV60 Magma
Genesis is expanding its high-performance Magma sub-brand with an electric crossover pushing 601 to 641 horsepower with boost mode engaged. Sales already started in 2026 for the 2027 model year, so this is one of the few 2027 vehicles you can actually go test-drive right now.
Ferrari Luce
Ferrari’s first production EV is a four-door grand tourer with a quad-motor setup delivering roughly 1,035 horsepower. It’s aimed at a small, wealthy slice of buyers, but it’s a milestone for the brand — and a preview of where high-end performance EVs are heading.

What Should You Actually Do If You’re Car Shopping Right Now?
If you don’t need a car this month, it’s worth waiting just to see what the final price on the Ford’s proposed midsize EV truck and the Scout Terra will be, as both are expected to significantly undercut most rival electric pickups, and a $30,000 electric pickup would be a huge value in the US market. If you want a sports car and don’t mind waiting, it’s safe to say that you can skip the celica or skyline until actual US prices are released, as those are likely to be dictated by protectionist tariffs. But for people who actually need to buy a car right now, the redesigned silverado is close enough to release that you should contact your local dealer and find out if you can get an ETA on when one might be available.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will 2027 cars go on sale in the US? Many 2027 models start arriving at dealerships in the second half of 2026, with wider availability by early fall. A handful of EVs and redesigned trucks arrive even earlier.
What is the cheapest new EV coming in 2027? Ford’s upcoming midsize electric truck is targeted at around $30,000, which would make it one of the most affordable new EVs sold in the US.
Is the Toyota Celica coming back? Yes. Reports point to a mid-engine sports car with close to 400 horsepower, expected to debut at the 2027 Tokyo Motor Show, with US sales possibly following in the 2028 model year.
Will the Nissan Skyline be sold in the US? Not under the Skyline name. It’s expected to arrive in America as a new Infiniti sports sedan.
Are 2027 trucks getting more powerful engines? Yes. The redesigned Chevrolet Silverado 1500, for example, debuts with new 5.7-liter and 6.6-liter V8 options described as the most powerful naturally aspirated V8s Chevy has offered.
Should I wait for a 2027 model or buy a 2026 car now? It depends on the vehicle. If you want a specific redesign, an EV with a lower target price, or a new nameplate, waiting can pay off. If you need a reliable, already-tested vehicle now, a 2026 model with dealer incentives is often the safer, cheaper choice.
The Bottom Line
2027 is shaping up to be one of the more interesting model years in a while, with a genuinely affordable electric truck, the return of two nameplates enthusiasts have missed for decades, and a major pickup redesign all landing around the same time. Pricing and exact release dates are still moving targets for several of these, so if one catches your eye, keep checking with your local dealer as launch dates firm up.
