2014 BMW X5

When It Hits: Expect the BMW X5 to hit dealerships later this year as a ’14 model.

What Priddy Says: The ’14 BMW X5 will be longer and lighter than current models. While the reduced weight may help with handling and fuel economy, the additional length will help set apart the X5 from its X3 counterpart and provide the room needed to offer third-row seating as an option.

2014 U.S.-Spec Hyundai Equus

When It Hits: The ’14 Equus was part of the Hyundai luxury-car lineup on display at January’s North American International Auto Show. The Equus will go on sale later this year as a ’14 model.

What Priddy Says: While the front of the Equus is not visible in the photos, front and rear facelifts are in store. The updated U.S. design will most likely mirror its recently introduced Korean-spec sibling.
