Nissan unveiled the Z Proto concept today, as the Japanese carmaker finally prepares to launch a replacement for the 370Z sports car. Shown at a virtual event hosted at the Nissan Pavilion in Yokohama, the prototype car features a new retro-themed design inside and out, as well as a V6 twin-turbocharged engine with a manual transmission.
The Hyundai Tucson has been a best-seller for the Korean company since it debuted in 2005 as an inoffensive, slightly-smaller compact crossover that was priced to compete with Japanese compact cars at the time. So it’s surprising to see Hyundai take such a massive design risk with the all-new 2021 Tucson that has just been revealed.
Hyundai has revealed the 2021 Kona which features a refreshed exterior design, updated interior design and new N-Line package.
It’s been less than a year since Land Rover brought back their Defender. But the British marque has already updated the 2021 line-up to include a new trim level and a plug-in hybrid.
Hyundai’s luxury brand Genesis has been struggling to forge an identity of their own, not helped by the fact that Hyundai and Kia’s own cheaper vehicles were pushing design boundaries. But unique new design cues that debuted in the lukewarm Genesis G90 are starting to trickle down to the smaller models, adding further refinement along the way. The first to get them was the Genesis G80. They have now officially revealed the facelifted 2022 Genesis G70 which seems to have finally hit the sweet spot.
Rolls-Royce’s “entry-level” model, the Ghost has always received its fair share of flak for being a “glorified 7-Series” as it rode on the latter’s platform, even when the Ghost exhibited proper Rolls-Royce traits in the way it rode. Rolls-Royce has now decided to kill that discussion by rebuilding the second-generation 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost from the ground up.
When Ford gave the Bronco a new life, Jeep revealed a new V8 Wrangler in a frantic effort to regain some of the stolen limelight. But alongside the V8 Wrangler, they also teased a genuinely interesting version of the Wrangler. That was the icon’s first plug-in-hybrid version, which just debuted as the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4Xe.
Mercedes-Benz is calling their S-Class the “world’s best car,” which is quite the self-awarded title. Though the tag is a debatable one, there is no second opinion on the fact that the S-Class has been a leader in the full-size luxury sedan segment since forever (and we owned one!). And now, Mercedes-Benz improves their so-called “best car” even further, introducing the new W223 generation. Just like every S-Class before it, the new 2021 S-Class is a massive leap ahead of the outgoing one.
Bentley is in the process of updating its range to flaunt a new design language. Their Continental GT and Flying Spur models have already received the treatment and the recently-revealed mid-cycle facelift of the Bentayga brought the behemoth closer to the rest of the range. The Speed version has just been announced.
The 2020 Land Rover Defender 110 recently made its way to our local shores as one of the most anticipated cars of the year, received with mixed reactions before its limelight was stolen by far more retro Ford Bronco and maybe the upcoming Jeep Wrangler V8. We had a go at it on UAE sand to see if the modernised new model does justice to the nameplate.
