These cars are all set to take the market by storm this year
Alfa Romeo Stelvio
The successful launch of the Giulia saloon means that Alfa Romeo can now count itself as a genuine player in the luxury car segment. The Italian company wants to maintain this momentum with the launch of its Stelvio SUV.
The Stelvio has a lot of shared parts with the Guilia. The engines available are a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol with 276 horse, or the oil burner 2.2-litre turbodiesel which produces 207bhp and 470Nm of torque. Both models will come with all-wheel drive paired to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The interior looks upmarket and tastefully done with the huge paddle shifters behind the wheel making you feel like you’re driving a sports car. Alfa Romeo has promised a dynamic ride quality and the SUV is sure to be a hit with customers.
Audi A8
The Audi A8 is the brand's flagship product. The A8 showcases the company’s cutting-edge technology with ultra-luxury. When the car hits showrooms, it will be the first mass-produced car in the world to be sold with Level 3 autonomous driving technology. The system improves on Audi’s Piloted Driving system which gives the driver the power to let the car take over the controls in specific environments
.
The A8 features a complete design overhaul and features the company’s new design language with the wide grille. The interiors are best in class and now it’s over to Mercedes to see what they can do with their next generation S-Class.
BMW X3
BMW recently launched the latest BMW X3. The model will rival the Audi Q5 which has been on sale for a little over a year. The car seems to have grown in size and this will mean better space for the passengers.
The SUV is built on a new lightweight platform which has resulted in huge weight savings making the car lighter while also increasing the stiffness of the structure. It is said to be powered by a new range of engines which are said to be lighter, more powerful, and come with improved fuel efficiency.
BMW always manages to strike the balance between luxury and handling and the X3 will be no different.
Jeep Compass
Fiat Chrysler Automotive is on a roll of late and it’s tasting success across multiple brands. The Jeep Compass was designed and developed to always be a global product and the car has tasted success in every country that it has been launched in. The car resembles its bigger sibling, the Cherokee and is powered by both petrol and diesel engines. The car is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive.
The interior quality has also taken a step up with a multitude of safety features and an off-road mode that ensure you don’t get stuck in muddy terrain.
Kia Stinger
Kia revealed one of the most exciting cars of the year at the Detroit Motor Show earlier this year. The Kia Stinger is a four-door coupe which has been designed as the brand's halo product.
The car is powered by a 3.3-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 which produces 365bhp. There is a smaller 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol which has 252bhp. With the launch of the Stinger, Kia hopes to attract younger buyers to its showrooms.
