DETROIT >> After seven straight years of growth, U.S. sales of new vehicles could be hitting their peak. That’s putting extra pressure on automakers to update their vehicles and hang on to their market share.

Some important vehicles are getting revamps for the 2018 model year, including the Toyota Camry, which has been the best-selling car in the U.S. for 15 years. Two of the Camry’s archrivals, the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata, are also new for 2018. The Ram pickup — a consistent best-seller — will also be getting an update. So will the Jeep Wrangler.

There’s a heavy focus on SUVs, which are popular with both Baby Boomers and Millennials in an era of low gas prices. There are several new full-size SUVs, including the Lincoln Navigator, Chevrolet Traverse and Volkswagen Atlas. At the other end of the market are new compact SUVs like the Toyota C-HR, Hyundai Kona and Ford EcoSport.

Drivers who want something smaller and sportier can find plenty of enticing models, from the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon to the Ferrari 812 Superfast. And electric car sales could get a boost with the arrival of the Tesla Model 3 and the revamped Nissan Leaf.

Here is a list of new and updated vehicles coming out in the 2018 model year. All prices listed exclude shipping charges, which vary by company.

ALFA ROMEO

STELVIO: Named for a twisty mountain pass in Northern Italy, the midsize Stelvio SUV has Alfa’s triangular grille and curvy styling.

Buyers can also opt for the top-of-the-line Stelvio Quadrifoglio, which has a 2.9-liter V6 that produces 505 horsepower. All-wheel-drive is standard on all models. The Italian-made 2018 Stelvio went on sale during the summer. It starts at $41,995 excluding shipping.

ACURA

NSX GT3: Acura began selling a racing version of its NSX supercar in July. Unlike the street version of the NSX, it has no electric motor; the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine is paired to a six-speed sequential racing transmission. Its carbon fiber body also makes it lighter than the street version, which is aluminum. The NSX GT3 is eligible for more than 25 different global racing series. It has a starting price of $547,000, making the $156,000 NSX seem like a bargain.

TLX: Acura’s midsize sedan, launched in 2015, gets a redesign for 2018. It has Acura’s new “diamond pentagon grille,” a more sharply sculpted hood and front fenders. Inside, there’s a new touchscreen with more intuitive menus that responds more quickly than the outgoing screen. A suite of safety features, including collision mitigation braking — which automatically slows the car when it senses an impending collision — and lane departure warning. Engine choices — a 2.4-liter, 206-horsepower four-cylinder or a 3.5-liter, 290-horsepower V6 — remain the same, and the TLX gets up to 27 mpg in combined city and highway driving. The 2018 TLX, which went on sale in June, starts at $33,000.

AUDI

A5/S5 COUPE: Audi debuted a new A4 midsize sedan last year. This year, it updates the two-door coupe version of that sedan. The new A5 sits wider and lower than its predecessor, giving it a more athletic look. The A5 coupe is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 252 horsepower; it’s mated to either a seven-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. The sporty S5 coupe has a new, 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 that puts out 354 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque; it flies from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. The S5 has an eight-speed transmission. A standard feature on both models is a system that lets drivers select one of four driving modes — comfort, auto, dynamic or individual — and automatically adjusts gear shift points, steering and other bits. The A5 coupe gets 27 mpg in combined city and highway driving; the S5 gets 24 mpg. The cars went on sales earlier this year, starting at $42,800 for the A5 and $54,600 for the S5.

Q5: This is the second generation of Audi’s Q5 midsize SUV, which was introduced in 2009. Subtle changes to the design, including a wider and less tapered rear, make the new Q5 look sportier and more solidly planted than before. Inside, there’s increased legroom and cargo space. The driver can use a touch pad that recognizes handwriting to input telephone numbers, addresses and other commands. Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection is standard; optional safety features include a vehicle exiting system that warns the driver if a vehicle or cyclist is approaching when a door is open. The 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine has been tweaked to produce 252 horsepower; it’s mated to a seven-speed transmission. The SUV gets 25 mpg in combined city and highway driving. The Q5, which went on sale in the spring, starts at $41,500.

That means it has a 95 horsepower electric motor and a 2-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged gas engine that puts out 180 horsepower. With both systems it can go from zero to 60 in 6.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 130 mph. On battery power alone it can go 15 miles. It went on sale in the spring, starting at $52,400.

It also has a 4.4-liter twin-turbo eight-cylinder engine but it puts out 600 horsepower. The M5 hits showrooms in the spring; pricing hasn’t been announced.

It’s powered by BMW’s 335 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3-liter inline six-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed transmission. That takes the car from zero to 60 in 5.1 seconds, BMW says. Available in the fall at a starting price of $69,700.

BUICK

ENCLAVE: The all-new version of the seven-passenger, three-row family hauler is a little larger than the outgoing three-row model, and about 400 pounds lighter, although the turning radius is 1.4 feet tighter for better maneuverability. There’s added legroom in the third row plus more cargo space in the back. Powered by a 302-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 with a nine-speed automatic transmission. There’s also an Avenir version, a luxury brand within Buick. It arrives in early October at a starting price of $39,995.

REGAL SPORTBACK: Buick’s slow-selling midsize car gets an update with sleeker looks and a move to General Motors’ new midsize chassis.

It’s powered by a 2-liter, 250 horsepower turbocharged four. All-wheel-drive models get an eight-speed automatic while front-wheel-drive versions get nine-speed transmissions. There’s also a GS performance version with a 310-horsepower 3.6-liter V6. Available in late November or early December. It starts at $24,990.

REGAL TOURX: Press releases for the new Regal wagon show a kayak on the roof as the brand makes a play for the outdoorsy crowd that might consider a Subaru or Volvo. It’s all-wheel-drive with a higher ground clearance than the Sportback, but it has the same 2-liter turbo with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s available in late November or early December and starts at just over $29,070. A high performance GS version comes later.

CHEVROLET

Gone are the Equinox’s old 3.6-liter V6 and 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines, replaced by two smaller four-cylinder gas powerplants and a diesel. All are turbocharged for better acceleration.

TRAVERSE: General Motors went small when it started revamping its aging midsize people-hauling SUVs last year with the GMC Acadia. But it’s going bigger with the Acadia sibling, the Chevy Traverse. The company says Chevrolet buyers want more space, so the Traverse will seat up to eight and have more cargo room. It comes standard with a new 3.6-liter V6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission. A 2-liter turbo four is available. It’s just arriving at dealerships and starts at $30,875.

DODGE

The car comes standard with a mere 808 horsepower, but another $1 buys you a crate of parts to set the car up for the drag strip. This includes a high-performance powertrain control computer with a high-octane fuel setting that adds 32 horsepower. The car will be available in the fall and starts at $84,995. That includes a $1,700 federal gas-guzzler tax.

JEEP

WRANGLER: The small, rugged SUV is all-new for 2018, but Fiat Chrysler has been mum on details.

Mitsubishi promises a fun-to-drive package like the old Eclipse sports car. It will have a new 1.5-liter turbocharged gas engine with a continuously variable transmission that can work as an eight-speed manual. It will be available early next year. Price and other details will be released later.

OUTLANDER PHEV: Mitsubishi SUV gets a rechargeable gas-electric powertrain with two electric motors and a 2-liter gasoline engine. It will go on sale by the end of this year. Full details such as electric range to be released this fall.

NISSAN

LEAF: Nissan planned to unveil the second generation of its all-electric Leaf sedan on Sept. 5. The Leaf, introduced in 2010, is one of the world’s best-selling electric cars. But its current range of 107 miles on a charge has put it behind competitors like the Chevrolet Bolt and Tesla Model 3, which get above 200 miles. The 2018 Leaf is expected to have better range and a new, more aerodynamic design. It will also debut Nissan’s ProPilot Assist system, which controls acceleration, braking and steering for the driver during stop-and-go traffic.

RAM

RAM 1500 PICKUP: Fiat Chrysler’s top-selling vehicle will be new from top to bottom for 2018, but no details about the new pickup have been released. CEO Sergio Marchionne says it will be revealed at January’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It’s likely to be lighter to compete with an all-new Chevrolet Silverado and the aluminum-skinned Ford F-150 in a highly competitive U.S. market. The current version, last reworked for the 2013 model year, will be on sale until the new one comes out. No release date or price were available.

ROLLS-ROYCE

PHANTOM: BMW’s uber-luxury brand unleashes the eighth generation of the Phantom with a base price of $430,000. It has an all-aluminum frame to make it stiffer, lighter and quieter than previous models. Rolls-Royce says it’s the most technologically advanced car it’s ever made. It says the new dashboard is a work of art. When a valet steps forward, the door “whispers” closed with the light touch of a sensor. The Phantom is powered by a new 6.75-liter twin-turbo V-12 engine. There’s also a long wheelbase version available. Rolls is taking orders now with deliveries expected early next year.

SMART

FORTWO: The big news for the tiny Mercedes brand isn’t so much what’s new, it’s what’s going away. The brand is getting rid of its gas-powered versions in the U.S. and Canada and will be exclusively electric after the 2017 model year. The electric drive fortwo carries over for the new model year.

SUBARU

CROSSTREK: Subaru’s compact wagon is all new for 2018, and the company says the redesigned version is more agile, safer and more comfortable. Looks haven’t changed dramatically. It comes standard with a more powerful 152-horsepower 2-liter direct fuel injection engine paired with a continuously variable transmission or a six-speed manual. The car has 8.7 inches of ground clearance for off-road driving. The Crosstrek starts at $21,795, just $100 more than the previous model. It’s already in showrooms.

LEGACY: The midsize sedan gets a mid-cycle update that includes a refreshed front fascia, grille, side mirrors and rear bumper. The interior also was upgraded, and Subaru says the new version will handle better and ride quieter than the outgoing model. The refreshed version already is in showrooms. It starts at $22,195.

OUTBACK: The wagon/SUV, Subaru’s most popular vehicle, also is refreshed for 2018. It gets new bumpers, headlights and an updated grille. New door mirrors cut through the air better and reduce wind noise. The 2018 Outback is already in showrooms. It starts at $25,895.

TESLA

MODEL 3: Tesla’s hotly anticipated lower-cost sedan went on sale in July, but there’s a long waiting list; buyers ordering now will likely have to wait until the end of 2018 to get one. The all-electric Model 3 starts at $35,000, about half the cost of Tesla’s previous models. For the base price, drivers get 220 miles (322 km) of range. But the price can rapidly increase from there. Black is the only standard color, for example; any other color is $1,000 extra. A fully loaded Model 3 with 310 miles of range and Tesla’s full semi-autonomous Autopilot system costs $59,500. Among the ways Tesla cut costs is doing away with the instrument panel; information that’s normally found there, like the vehicle speed, can instead be found on a large touchscreen in the dashboard.

TOYOTA

CAMRY: The midsize Camry, which has been the best-selling sedan in the U.S. for the last 15 years, has a completely new look and feel. Tired of the sedan’s practical but bland image, designers made the car lower, wider and sportier and gave it a more pointed nose. On sport trim levels, there’s an aggressive, spindle-shaped grille similar to the ones now found on Lexus sedans. Toyota says a new, more rigid platform and lightweight body materials — including an aluminum hood — vastly improve handling and driving dynamics. There are two engine choices: a new 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 206 horsepower and gets 34 mpg in city and highway driving or a newly developed 3.5-liter V-6 with 301 horsepower that gets up to 26 mpg. Both are paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid version of the new Camry gets up to 52 mpg. Standard safety systems include pre-collision automatic braking with pedestrian detection. The Camry went on sale in July; it starts at $23,495.

C-HR: Toyota joins the hot subcompact SUV segment with the C-HR. True to its name — which means “coupe-high rider” — the five-seat SUV has a sporty, angular look and a swept-back roofline. The CH-R is slightly longer, wider and shorter than its chief rival, the Honda HR-V. It also has a little more power, with a 2-liter four-cylinder engine than puts out 144 horsepower. The engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission. The CH-R gets up to 29 mpg in combined city and highway driving. A suite of safety features is standard, including pre-collision automatic braking with pedestrian detection. The C-HR went on sale in April; it starts at $22,500.

SIENNA: Toyota’s eight-passenger minivan got a new engine lineup in 2017. In 2018, it gets a new front end that more closely reflects the brand’s other vehicles. It also gets significantly enhanced safety; every Sienna now comes standard with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and a lane departure warning system that can also gently nudge the van back into its lane if it starts to drift. The updated Sienna goes on sale in November. Pricing hasn’t been released.

VOLKSWAGEN

ATLAS: Volkswagen, which has struggled in the U.S. without a full lineup of SUVs, attempts to correct that with the seven-passenger Atlas. The beefy Atlas has a three-passenger bench or available captain’s chairs in the second row and a third-row bench that seats two more passengers. Both the second and third rows can fold flat for 96.8 cubic feet of cargo space. Safety features include automatic emergency braking and post-collision braking, which applies the brakes once an air bag detects a collision to help reduce residual energy from the crash. There are two engine choices: a 2-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out 235 horsepower or a 3.6-liter V-6 that produces 276 horsepower. Both are mated to an eight-speed transmission. The V-6 gets up to 20 mpg in city and highway driving, or 19 mpg if the buyer opts for all-wheel-drive; the four-cylinder will be available later and hasn’t yet been rated. The Atlas went on sale in the spring starting at $30,500.

TIGUAN: This is the second generation of Volkswagen’s small SUV, which debuted nine years ago. Responding to American customers, who found the outgoing Tiguan cramped, Volkswagen has made the new Tiguan almost 11 inches longer and added up to 58 percent more cargo space in the two-row model. The Tiguan also offers a three-row model that seats seven. The Tiguan has spare, clean lines and a lower, wider stance than its predecessor. Under the hood is an updated 2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 184 horsepower and an eight-speed transmission. The Tiguan gets 24 mpg in city and highway driving, or 23 mpg with all-wheel-drive. It went on sale earlier this summer, starting at $25,345.

XC60: Volvo’s midsize all-wheel drive SUV gets redesigned with a more refined, sculpted look and three available powertrains: A turbocharged 2-liter, 250-horsepower four-cylinder gas engine, a 316-horsepower supercharged and turbocharged 2-liter, or a gas-electric plug-in hybrid that puts out 400 horsepower and can travel 15-20 miles on battery power. The 2018 XC60, which is already on sale, starts at $41,500.

S90: Volvo has added 4 inches to its S90 sedan for more back-seat legroom. It also added all-wheel-drive to the lower-end T5 model of the big sedan. Buyers can choose a plug-in hybrid powertrain or a 2-liter, 250-horsepower turbocharged four cylinder. The plug-in version has a 400 horsepower gas and electric system that can travel 15-20 miles on battery power. The S90 is on sale now, starting at $48,100.
