Praise for earlier editions

‘You need this brilliant yearbook about the current global car market … totally absorbing.’—Mark Dixon, contributing editor, Octane

‘In the great tradition of automotive annuals, Autocade is packed with great reading …’—Giles Chapman, automotive industry authority and award-winning writer

‘A genuine collector’s item. You won’t want to put it down.’—William Woollard, historian, producer and former Top Gear presenter

‘Autocade is in the grand tradition of beautifully produced annuals like World Cars, Car Design Yearbook, Autocourse and Auto Universum, yet offers a deep read for the road car devotee like nothing else I’ve seen. It helps you take stock of this rapidly changing automotive world, provokes thought, and feeds the appetite for insight. That it’s been made tangibly real from a digital background only reiterates the big-hearted passion behind it.’—Giles Chapman, automotive industry authority and award-winning writer

]]> It’s our third yearbook, and we’re covering everything from the Renault Twingo E-tech and Clio VI to the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bugatti Tourbillon.

We’ve brought you more of what you love, with a 20-page guide to some of 2025’s (and a few of 2026’s) débutantes around the world, an analysis on whether there’s a 30-year cycle for car design, industry analyses including whether BYD will beat Ford in sales, how BMW’s kidney grille has morphed since its first appearance in 1931, and a celebration of 100 years of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Read more about models such as the Polestar 5, Ferrari 849 Testarossa, Toyota bZ7, and the aforementioned Bugatti and two Renaults—as well as a look back at the Daewoo Winstorm, your next most searched-for car on Autocade’s main website. We close this edition with two of Kylie Minogue’s car marketing gigs, for Ford and Lexus.

As with previous years, Autocade Year of Cars 2026 is lavishly presented, on high-quality paper, and a hardcover with dust jacket, to be pride of place on a special car enthusiast’s bookshelf.

Printed in the UK, 144 pp. on 150 g/m² stock, plus cover. Hardcover, case bound, with dust jacket. Dispatch takes place a minimum of three working days from the time of your order.

We learned from your feedback, and honed what a good yearbook is all about: a reference you could return to through the year as it plays out.

We’ve again included beautiful imagery. There’s more of a voice on interesting automotive subjects that we think mark the Zeitgeist.

We cover market trends such as the new push for aerodynamics and Chinese luxury: surely this is the time for them, coming up with brands more quickly than you could once have said Acura, Infiniti, Lexus three decades ago. We have spotlights on the Ford Capri, Renault 4 E-Tech, Lambor­ghini Temerario, and the Dodge Charger. We pay tribute to the late Marcello Gandini and offer a guide to his production designs. And just who are today’s designer names?

You’ve searched for the Opel Astra J more than any other model on our website (Ford Taunus 80 in last year’s Yearbook excepting), so we take a closer look. Since economic times are tough, we glance at some historical recession specials.

More pages, more photos and more considered writing. This year, it’s even more lavish in hardcover format with a dust jacket.

Autocade Year of Cars 2025: bigger, longer, harder.

‘Thank goodness Autocade’s new annual print edition has finally arrived: the comprehensive auto book we’ve been waiting for.

This one stays on my coffee table!’—­Stanley Moss, branding guru and author

Finally, a publication for the car enthusiast who isn’t impressed merely by horsepower and torque figures, but by the automobile’s place in society and history, including its design and wider trends.

Autocade takes the lead of the original, long-running online car encyclopædia, uses its foundation and builds on it with behind-the-scenes stories, stunning visuals and considered writing.

It’s a homage to the automotive yearbooks of yesterday, brought into the mid-2020s in this attractive volume.

We’re here! Welcome to the first Auto­cade Yearbook. It’s been a long time coming since our founding in 2008, but we knew Autocade deserved to be in print—because there are a lot of enthusiasts like ourselves, and you’re the ones we’ve created this publication for.

We’re not just about horsepower and torque, but the human stories behind the motor car, the design and thinking that go into one, and what it means in society. There is discussion on new cars and classics, bringing history into sharp relevance for the 2020s, especially when we examine their bloodlines.

Autocade features behind-the-scenes stories, stunning visuals and considered writing. It’s a homage to the automotive yearbooks of yesterday, brought into the mid-2020s in this attractive volume.

We welcome your feedback—because we’d love to do a second issue and tailor it to you.

Printed in the United Kingdom, 128 pp. on 150 g/m² coated stock, plus cover. Laminated softcover, perfect bound. Dispatch takes place three days from the time of your order.
