Upcoming Cars Reviews

Mercedes-Benz has officially confirmed the debut of the new generation of the iconic G-Class on January 15, 2018. The debut will take place at the Detroit auto show on the second press day and will be possibly the most anticipated debut there. While many would have expected the G-Class to evolve into a more rounded and more mass product, if the spy shots and sketches are anything to go by, Mercedes-Benz has stayed true to form and kept the iconic boxy design on the car albeit with a bit more modern touches. The new G-Class will be available globally with standard petrol and diesel engine options along with the Los Angeles favourite G63 and G65 versions.

A test mule of the upcoming 2018 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga MPV was recently spotted testing in India again. The new-gen model will be based in the new Swift's platform and will come with new exterior styling and a host of new features.

Mercedes-Benz has released a new trailer for the car, teasing a camouflaged 2018 A-Class undergoing cold weather testing. The new-gen Mercedes-Benz A-Class is currently in the final stages of testing and the car is expected to be unveiled later this year at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Audi Q2 is the German automaker's smallest compact SUV. Placed below the Q3, the Q2 with its crossover like design was launched last year with good responses especially from growing markets like China. And to appease the Chinese auto buyer even further, Audi has recently announced plans to launch a longer wheelbase version of the Q2 specially for the China domestic market. To make it an even more interesting proposition though, Audi seems to be preparing an all electric version of the long wheel base Q2 to be sold specifically in China. China is the largest electric car market in the world and last year sold over 3.86 lakh units witnessing a 50 per cent growth over the year before!

Isuzu has made quite the mark in India especially in the private pickup and recreational usage segment with the D-Max V-Cross. The standard D-Max on the other hand has also been selling well and now there will soon be a new version of the D-Max on sale badged 'Spark'. The new Isuzu D-Max Spark is expected to be sold as an open chassis at the rear with only a front cabin that will allow attachments such as a flat loading bay or an enclosed loading area to be built on top. When contacted, dealers have also mentioned that the enclosed loading bay on the D-Max Spark might come from the factory at an additional price point. The Isuzu D-Mac V-Cross will take on the likes of the Tata Yodha and the Mahindra Bolero pickup range.
