New cars you will definitely consider to buy in 2018
We have seen important updates to industry stalwarts like the Toyota Camry, Ford Expedition, and Honda Odyssey, as well as new introductions of some exciting niche products.

2018 Honda Accord

$23,570 | U.S. News Score: 9.1/10

The Honda Accord is one of the standouts in the midsize car class, made even better thanks to its 2018 redesign. There are a lot of good options in this category, but the Accord is well worth a look.

Whether you want something practical or fun, the Accord will satisfy. The base engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder that provides satisfying acceleration yet gets good fuel economy. Buyers who want sportier performance can upgrade to a larger turbocharged four-cylinder. In either case, the Accord’s handling is deft, and is offers a comfortable ride.

Standard features include the Honda Sensing active safety package and driver drowsiness monitoring.

The Accord is available now with a starting price of $23,570, which is about average for a midsize car.

2018 Toyota Camry/Camry Hybrid

$23,495 ($27,800 Hybrid) | U.S. News Score: 9.2/10 (9.0/10 Hybrid)
The Toyota Camry is the best-selling car in America, but it’s never been known for its dynamic styling or driving prowess. Toyota aims to change that with the 2018 model, which features an edgier design inside and out, a host of standard safety tech, plus more powerful yet efficient engines.

In addition to giving the 2018 Camry a stance that’s lower, longer, and wider, there will be greater visual distinctions between the luxury, sport, and hybrid models. The standard engine will be an all-new 2.5-liter four-cylinder, while updated V6 and hybrid powertrains will be available.

All Camrys will now come standard with the Toyota Safety Sense suite of advanced electronic safety aids and driver assistance technologies. These include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high beams.

2018 Ford Expedition

$51,695 | U.S. News Score: 9.1/10
The Ford Expedition has been around in the same basic form for a long, long time. For 2018, the Ford Expedition will feature a body made of lightweight aluminum, rather than steel. The weight savings, paired with an efficient new powertrain, is expected to provide significantly improved fuel economy.

It will also be a technological powerhouse, with a whole slate of available advanced safety tech and driver assistance features, plus the latest SYNC 3 infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlayand Android Auto. Six USB ports are provided throughout the cabin, and passengers can connect to an onboard Wi-Fi hot spot that pulls data through a dedicated 4G LTE data connection.

It’s set to arrive in dealerships this fall, and pricing has not been announced.

2018 GMC Terrain

$24,995 | U.S. News Score: 8.5/10
GMC’s popular Terrain compact SUV has been redesigned for 2018, with a bolder yet curvier look than the outgoing model. However, the big news is under the hood. Three turbocharged engines will be available, including an efficient 1.6-liter turbodiesel. The new gasoline-powered turbos will employ a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Every Terrain will come with the Traction Select system that allows drivers to fine-tune the SUV's driving dynamics for different conditions. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available. The Terrain will be offered in a number of trim levels, including the opulent Terrain Denali model.

2018 Lexus LS

$75,000 (est) | U.S. News Score: TBD
It’s a busy year at Lexus, with two major products due to come to market for 2018. Their flagship sedan, the LS, is completely redesigned, gaining a dynamic coupe-like silhouette that’s nothing like the outgoing model. It’s longer, lower, and wider than before, gaining 1.3 inches in wheelbase.

The standard engine in the new LS will be a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 that produces 415 horsepower and uses a 10-speed automatic transmission to send power to either the rear wheels or all four wheels. Four-wheel steering is an option. In addition to the advanced safety tech that you would expect in a flagship luxury sedan, the LS is available with a system that will actively try to steer around a pedestrian in its lane.

Pricing has not been announced for the 2018 Lexus LS. It’s expected in dealers by the end of the year.
