2023 NISSAN ALTIMA: Aggressive front styling and a slew of new standard
technology and safety features greet buyers of the 2023 Altima. The four-model
lineup gets standard all-wheel drive and a 182-horsepower
2.5-litre four-cylinder engine. Exterior upgrades include LED
lights while a 12.3-inch display, wireless phone charging and
Wi-Fi hotspot are standard on the inside. Pricing has not
been released, but the freshened Altima is scheduled
to go on sale this fall.

2023 HONDA HR-V: The second-generation subcompact
crossover courts younger buyers with a sportier
exterior, and a 158-horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylinder
replaces the 141-horsepower 1.8. The HR-V also grows
in all dimensions for 2023, adding 22 centimetres of
length and more than seven centimetres of width.
Tech upgrades include a new seven-inch touchscreen
plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
The HR-V starts at $30,680, including the $1,950 destination
fee.
HYUNDAI IONIQ 6: Contrasting the sharp edges and angles of the
Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 6 is rounded and streamlined. The new sedan
has the lowest coefficient of drag of Hyundai's EVs, which the automaker
says aids battery range. A first look shows a " cocoon-like " cabin built atop
Hyundai's E-GMP platform, which helps stretch interior space. The Ioniq
6 is projected to arrive in Europe later this year before making its North
American debut.
VOLKSWAGEN ID AERO CONCEPT: Despite dropping the midsize
Passat sedan from its lineup, Volkswagen does not think
Canadians are finished with four-door cars. The automaker
premiered its near-production ID Aero concept at the end of
June, offering a glimpse of the brand's first electric sedan.
A sloping roof and smooth door handles trim the coefficient
of drag to 0.23, helping the 77 kilowatt-hour battery
provide up to 458 kilometres of range, the company said.
The ID Aero is expected to arrive in Canada in 2024 following
launches in China and Europe.
