20. Tesla Model 3
In 129 years of automobile glory since Karl Benz first built the first petroleum powered engine, automakers have produced a wide spectrum of vehicle designs and also found out undiscovered concepts or forms of what the future vehicles would look like. Automobiles used to have yearly ground-up refresh on interior, exterior as well as mechanical elements; however, a car model in modern days usually gets mid-cycle refresh to keep things afresh, enjoying a longish production run of mostly five-to-seven or even more. Developing a new car model and making it into production typically costs billions of dollars, taking at-least five or more years. However, this could be changing with the advent of the modular platforms and we are now likely to see a lot more new cars models a lot sooner.
There are already a number of new cars lining up to be launched before 2020, although we have only a few spy photos for those models. The rumors of their existence make news and intensify product life cycles among competitors. So take a look at the top 20 cars coming out before 2020 that are worth waiting for.
