What’s coming when? If you’re looking for a new car in 2023, our comprehensive guide is the best place to start.
We’ve listed all of the biggest model launches planned over the next few months, from supercars to superminis, electric cars to V12s and hybrids to hot hatchbacks.
The shift to EVs is arguably having some unintended consequences as car manufacturers are pushing combustion technology to its absolute zenith before it bows out for good.
While there are a number of new nameplates coming through, manufacturers haven’t completely dispensed with the familiar ones we know and love: for every Spectre, there’s a 5 Series – which in these changing times is comforting.
Below, we’ve rounded up all of the new models that you can expect to see in a showroom near you in the second half of 2023.
Cars arriving in November 2023
Honda CR-V
The sharper, more chiselled CR-V arrives later this year, bringing a more upmarket interior and a mix of hybrid powertrains. It’s a comfortable, practical option, but also an expensive one – starting at £45,895.

Mazda MX-30 R-EV
Mazda’s electric debut faced much criticism for its short range, but it’s now addressed that with the addition of a range-extending petrol generator. This isn’t a standard petrol engine, either, as it’s a Wankel rotary engine; the first to be used by the firm since production of the RX-8 ended in 2012. Combined, the 17.8kWh battery and rotary generator provide a range of more than 400 miles – a significant increase on the pure EV’s 124 miles.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class
The new E-Class majors on technology, introducing a new dashboard-spanning infotainment panel – dubbed the superscreen – that comes with a built-in artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. Three powertrains are available at launch: the entry-level E200 petrol with 227bhp, the E220d diesel with 220bhp, and the E300e plug-in hybrid, which outputs a combined 309bhp. Prices start at £55,290.

BYD Seal
This Tesla Model 3 rival is set to arrive in the UK before the end of the year as part of Chinese firm BYD’s bid for a slice of the burgeoning electric car market. It’s priced from £44,990, which nets you a single-motor model with lots of kit, 308bhp, and a range of 354 miles.

Lexus LM
Lexus has responded to the burgeoning popularity of luxury minivans – many imported from Japan – by bringing the next-generation LM to the UK. In four-seat configuration it effectively serves as a mobile executive lounge, with two massaging thrones in the back facing a whopping 48in screen.
