New Cars 2018

New Cars 2018: WITH NEW car registrations falling in 2017 for the first time in 6 years, as customer self-confidence takes a hit, car makers are having to pull out all the quits to keep the wheels transforming. For many, that implies innovation and a plethora of brand-new models to attempt and also tempt buyers into display rooms.

The general fad is anticipated to be continued SUV-isation (even the Kia Picanto city car is obtaining a jacked-up crossover spin-off) in addition to substantial financial investment in electrical models, proof of which could be seen this week with the statement by VW that it had actually put on hold sales of the Golf GTE plug-in hybrid, as manufacturing might not stay up to date with need. In November last year, sales of cars qualified for the federal government's plug-in car give climbed 53.7% versus the very same month in 2016, from 2,482 to 3,814, versus a drop in overall car sales of 11.2%.

However 2018 will not be about the electric revolution; we still have a lot of petrol as well as diesel designs touchdown on these shores over the next One Year. Right here are the most popular cars to look out for this year.

New Cars 2018

JANUARY

Jaguar E-Pace

The F-Pace's child sibling joins the fastest-growing car section as well as is sure to help grow Jaguar's sales.

Kia Picanto X-Line

The small Picanto city car obtains a crossover version.

Kia Stinger GT

Critics are going crazy about Kia's first sports GT. Not unusual, given it's the brainchild of an engineer poached from BMW's M department.

Rolls-Royce Phantom

The manor house on wheels returns for an eighth generation. Calm down, Jeeves.

Seat Leon Cupra R

One of the most powerful version of Seat's Golf-derived hatchback boasts 306bhp as well as lines so sharp you'll require handwear covers to unlock.

Skoda Karoq

The Karoq exterminated the charismatic Yeti. Yet don't worry, it's a fantastic mid-sized crossover, even if it does look like every one of its rivals.
