From semi-affordable luxury sedans to ultra high-end hypercars, there are a range of incredible vehicles on their way to the market. As is the case with nearly all consumer goods, automobile manufacturers of the world have many new and updated vehicles that will arrive in 2016 and 2017, and as cars incorporate and evolve with technology, they arguably only get better as well. So what are some of the coolest haute cars that you need to watch out for? Here are ten upcoming luxury cars that are worth waiting for, as you definitely don’t want to miss them.

10. The Cadillac CT6
The upcoming Cadillac CT6 is a upper mid-ranged sedan from the American brand that’s looking to offer consumers a great balance between performance and luxury features at a good price. Starting at about $53,500 dollars, the Cadillac CT6 will go up against cars like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the BMW 5-series. It will be available in a range of different version, like rear or four-wheel drive, and it will come stock with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that delivers 400-hp in total. It’s balanced, luxurious, attractive looking, and fast enough to compete with the ever popular German luxury vehicles.

9. The Jaguar F-Pace
Lookout world, as Jaguar is brining their first SUV/crossover to the market sometime soon: the F-Pace. The F-Pace will offer everything Jaguar is known for (luxury, refinement, class, etc.) but in a large package. We’ve seen the global markets demand more luxury SUVs, so this is Jaguar’s response. Jaguar will introduce a few new models that range in price from $40,990 to $69,700. We should expect the F-Pace to land sometime in either in the fall of 2016 or early 2017.

8. The Lexus LC 500
Unveiled just recently at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, the Lexus LC 500 is one car that you cannot miss out on. It’s a sleek sports coupe that’s filled with luxury amenities and it can pack a punch. It’s based on the LF-LC concept car, and Lexus hasn’t changed much for the production version. From the all carbon fiber roof the the 467-hp 5.0-liter V8, the Lexus LC 500 will be one of the sexiest and fastest coupes when it comes to market sometime within one to two years.

7. The Tesla Model X
While Tesla Motors has already begun deliveries of their Model X’s for customers that pre-ordered the vehicle a few years ago, everyone else will still have to wait for the “latter half of 2016” to buy one. The Tesla Model X offers most of the features seen on the Model S, but obviously in a larger, more SUV like package. It’s easily one of the most attractive and luxurious all-electric SUV/crossovers that you can soon buy, and we imagine it will go on to become a big success like the Model S.

6. The Acura NSX
Acura will begin production of their highly-anticipated supercar in the spring of this year, and it’s poised to be something quite special. The vehicle will feature a twin-turbo V6 engine in addition to three electric motors. That means that we can expect some insane levels of acceleration and performance from the NSX, and it will also be an “affordable” supercar that will most likely be priced between $155,000 and $160,000 dollars. Okay, that’s a lot of money for a car, but compared to other supercars like Ferraris or Lamborghinis, it’s fairly cheap.

5. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
The Giulia will be Alfa Romeo’s second car available in the United States, and the Giulia Quadrifoglio will be the top-of-the-line model. It’s a luxury performance sedan that is essentially Alfa Romeo’s version of an M4, or something. It not only has a classy Italian design and luxury features but a host of great performance traits as well. Rear-wheel drive, 50/50 weight distribution, an adjustable carbon fiber spoiler, a racing suspension, torque vectoring technology, and a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 that deliver 505-hp and 443 lb-ft of torque, among other features. With a top speed of 191 mph and a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 3.8 seconds, this Alfa is quite formidable.

4. The Bentley Bentayga
People asked for it, and Bentley delivered: the world’s first Bentley SUV. The Bentley Bentayga will be available sometime within the first half of 2016, and it is essentially the fastest, most luxurious, and probably the most expensive SUV that you can buy. It offers everything we know and love from Bentley, but in a much larger package, in case you felt a standard Bentley was “small”. Just don’t expect to get a deal on this over $200,000 dollar vehicle.

3. The New Ford GT
The 2006 Ford GT was a vehicle that reaffirmed to the world that Americans can make exceptional supercars. Now Ford is following up with an updated model which will be released later this year, and it will most likely be better than ever. The new Ford GT makes improvements on the old vehicle in virtually every way. It’s lighter, faster, more powerful, and arguably better looking. It has a body entirely made from carbon fiber and a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that will pump out well over 600-horsepower.

2. The Maserati Alfieri
Maserati initially unveiled the Alfieri as a concept car back in 2014, however they have since confirmed that they are bringing it to production. Usually when a concept car becomes an official production car, it’s quite good. It’s an extremely attractive looking 2+2 grand tourer which will be available sometime this year. The vehicle will be available with three choices of a V6, with the most powerful one offering 520-bhp. It’s also expected that a V8 version and convertible models will arrive a year later. Regardless it’s on track to be one of the most exiting upcoming cars.

1. The Bugatti Chiron
While there are no official images of the Chiron, Bugatti’s successor to the Veyron (a.k.a the fastest production car ever), we do know that it will make its debut at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. It’s expected that the Chiron will most likely be better than the Veyron in every way, including top speed. It will most likely have an absurd 8.0-liter W16 engine that will deliver 1,200 to 1,500-hp. We will have to keep waiting for more news about this car, but it’s easily the most anticipated supercar probably of all-time. When you make the fastest production car in history, you will have to go above and beyond for its successor and we’re sure that Bugatti can handle it.
