New Hyundai EON



Hyundai’s Alto rivalling Eon hatchback is up for an upgrade. Launched in India in October 2011, the small hatchback could not fetch desirable numbers as expected. While the fluidic design language caught attention, the hatchback was considered to be a bit overpriced. Currently the Eon line-up is available with petrol and LPG fuel options missing out on the diesel variants.Read more at www.oktilli.com

Ferrari Portofino

The new Ferrari Portofino takes the proportions of the California T and makes everything much sharper and more aggressive. The front facia features a smiling look as most other Ferraris get currently with the large central grille and sleek sharp LED headlamps. The front bumper also gets large twin secondary intakes while the front fender gets air fins and a vent to channel the air out of the front wheel arches.Chek www.oktilli.com for more

FORD FOCUS

Price: From £19,000 (est)
On sale: Spring
The new Focus will continue to use Ford’s Global C-car platform, but with a revised cabin and sleek styling, previewed in our exclusive image. Ford wants to recapture the Mk1’s handling magic, so it’s employed the team responsible for the new Fiesta and Ka+, both of which mix fun with a smooth ride. Alongside the standard car, there’ll be a sporty ST-Line, luxurious Vignale and a jacked-up Active model.Read more at www.oktilli.com

Ford Fiesta ST

Price: From £19,000 (est)
On sale: May
Talk about having big boots to fill. The new Fiesta ST takes over from one of the best fast Fords there’s ever been, its task made even more difficult by the fact that it uses a smaller engine than its predecessor.
Small doesn’t have to mean weak, however; Ford has demonstrated this by squeezing an additional 17bhp from the ST’s 1.5-litre three-cylinder unit than it did from the old four-cylinder 1.6. That gives a total of 197bhp, which in turn is enough to get the new ST from 0-62mph in 6.7 seconds. Let’s just hope the car has the ride and handling to match; we’ll find out when we get behind the wheel in the coming weeks.Read more at www.oktilli.com

FORD EDGE

Price: From £32,000 (est)
On sale: Nov 2018
Never mind the backlash against diesel; Ford’s revised Edge won’t be available in petrol form when it goes on sale later this year. What it will get is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder twin-turbodiesel, badged EcoBlue and producing 235bhp, plus sporty ST-Line trim. Other versions are Titanium and the more luxurious Vignale.
The facelift includes reshaped headlamps and grille, plus a raft of extra safety kit. And a new front-wheel-drive model with a less powerful engine could bring down the starting price of the range.More at www.oktilli.com

Ferrari Portofino

Price: From £166,180
On sale: Now
Ten years after the California T arrived, it’s been replaced by the Portofino – and after our first taste we said it was hard to fault. The new front-engined, rear-wheel-drive roadster not only has more power, but also a new chassis with revised suspension.
Rather than its on-the-limit handling, what first strikes you is how comfortably it rides on its electronic suspension, which helps to make this an everyday Ferrari. It’s also capable of dramatic performance, with a suitably spectacular noise to accompany it.Read more at www.oktilli.com

Ferrari 488 Pista

Price: From £210,000 (est)
On sale: Now
The name is derived from the Italian word for ‘track’, and that’s where many of the 488 Pista’s lightweight parts and aerodynamics were developed. Oh, and the 710bhp the 3.9-litre engine produces makes this the most powerful V8 Ferrari ever.
It manages 0-62mph in 2.85 seconds, while the ‘Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer’ makes the most of that performance, adjusting the brake pressure at the calipers to give the car extra pace and predictability when accelerating through and out of corners.Click www.oktilli.com for more

DS 3 SUV

Price: From £22,000 (est)
On sale: Winter
Following the recent launch of the DS 7 Crossback, PSA’s luxury brand will add a smaller SUV to its model range. It’s likely to be badged DS 3 Crossback, and the move is being seen within the company as crucial in order to give existing owners of the DS 3 premium hatchback a viable upgrade instead of losing their custom to cars such as the MINI Countryman and Audi Q2.
The new DS 3 Crossback could be a pioneering model for a number of reasons. For starters, it could be the first car to use the group’s new CMP small car platform (if Peugeot doesn’t get there first with its next-generation 208). And on top of that, it could be the first all-electric DS. The indications are that an EV version of the DS 3 Crossback would use a 50kWh battery to deliver a range of around 280 miles from a single charge.More at www.oktilli.com

Dacia Duster

Price: From £9,995 (est)
On sale: Summer
Considering the new Duster SUV is based on the same platform as the car it replaces, Dacia has done an effective job of updating the looks, with a fresh honeycomb grille, LED daytime running lightsand raised bonnet line giving it a more upmarket feel.
The cabin has also been spruced up, with larger seats and a touchscreen system that sits higher on the dashboard to make it easier to use, although it’s worth noting that boot space has been reduced by 25 litres to 445 litres in front-wheel-drive versions. Dacia has carried over petrol and diesel engines from the previous car, albeit with improvements to refinement.Read more at www.oktilli.com

Cupra Ateca

Price: From £35,000 (est)
On sale: Winter
As we’ve seen with the Cupra IbizaSEAT is taking its performance models to the next level with its standalone Cupra range. And the Cupra Ateca will be the first car from the new brand. The 296bhp, all-wheel-drive version of SEAT’s SUV features a 2.0-litre petrol turbo, seven-speed dual-clutch auto and adaptive suspension to give performance worthy of the aggressive bodykit.
The new brand claims its Ateca will accelerate from 0-62mph in just 5.4 seconds and have a top speed of 152mph, while a selection of driving modes will firm up the suspension and pipe more engine noise into the cabin. Setting the SUV apart visually are quad exhausts and 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Other Cupra cars based on SEAT vehicles are set to follow the Ateca, with the possibility of a standalone model from the marque, too.Chek www.oktilli.com for more

Citroen C5 Aircross

Price: From £20,000 (est)
On sale: Late 2018
It’s been a long time coming, but the Citroen C5 Aircross will finally go on sale at the end of this year. We first saw it at last April’s Shanghai Motor Show, and the European version will appear in the middle of this year before starring at the Paris show in October.
The C5 Aircross is based on the same platform as the Peugeot 3008 and Vauxhall Grandland X, and we expect the engine range to mirror the Peugeot’sCitroen says it will offer class-leading space inside and new ‘Progressive Hydraulic Cushion’ suspension.Read more at www.oktilli.com

BMW Z4

Price: From £35,000 (est)
On sale: Winter
The third-generation Z4 will go back to a soft-top roof as BMW aims to once again take on the Porsche Boxster and Mercedes SLC.
The new car has been developed with Toyota, which will launch the GR Supra using the same platform. Both will be rear-wheel drive, while Auto Express understands the Z4 will have the choice of 2.0-litre four-cylinder or 3.0-litre straight- six engines. BMW says most of the styling of 2017’s concept will make production.More at www.oktilli.com
