2018 Jeep® Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

The new generation of Grand Cherokee is big news for 2018 since Jeep has started a big offensive on the global market.

You can expect it to be on sale next year and official information should be released in late 2017.

Audi A6/A7

The executive sedan segment is very hot at the moment with the new BMW 5-Series just being released, but there is more since Audi is getting ready to introduce the new A6 and A7 models. You can expect a new chassis built from aluminum, new and revised engines with more power, better fuel economy, and new design. Of course, since this is Audi, the design will not be revolutionarily different from the predecessor, but it will be aggressive and more dynamic than before. Due to Audi`s innovative technology and construction, the new A6 and A7 will have better driving dynamics and less weight.

Ford Focus

The fourth generation of Ford’s global bestseller is big news for 2018. Official information along with the first photos should be revealed in late 2017 and first examples should be delivered to the customers in early 2018. For the last 20 years, Ford Focus has been among the best compact hatchbacks in the world and Ford is counting on continuing the success.

BMW X7

We are sure that you are familiar with BMWs premium SUV, the great looking and handling X5. But, BMW wants to go a step further so an over-the-top full-size SUV is in works and it will be called X7. The design is typical BMW but the size, luxury, and dimensions will be more like Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes GLS-Class and Range Rover. It is just one of several models BMW is planning for 2018.

BMW 3 Series

Another important BMW model set for 2018 release is the all new Series 3. This is BMWs main and bestselling model. Despite being quite good and popular, it can’t hold its own against the new competitors in the form of the new Audi A4, Mercedes C-Class, Cadillac ATS and the rest. You can expect fresh design, a full range of new engines, hybrid option and innovative trim and equipment components.

Land Rover Defender

The original Defender was discontinued in 2016 but Land Rover is not abandoning the idea of a rugged compact off-roader in its model lineup. The all-new and modern Defender is set for 2018 release and the global audience is very eager to see how the Land Rover will re-imagine the legend. The concept information has been released but wait for a year or so for the official presentation.

Chevrolet Bolt

2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV

The battle of electric vehicles continues and Chevrolet has just announced the Bolt, a small, sub-compact fully electric car with a range of over 200 miles. This model is revolutionary since it is the first subcompact electric vehicle with sufficient range, decent comfort, and driving abilities. And, last but not least, there’s its affordable price. When it goes on sale in 2018, it could affect all other electric car manufacturers, especially the Tesla.

Buick Regal

2018 Buick Regal TourX

A new generation of Buick’s mid-size executive sedan is almost ready and it looks stunning. It is, of course, the same as the new Opel Insignia, but in Buick’s form. Regal will have more powerful engines, a higher level of luxury and better trim levels. You can expect late 2017 and early 2018 sales start, front and all-wheel drive options, turbocharged engines and lower price than the competitors.

Cadillac CT8

2019 Cadillac CT8 (artist's rendering)

Cadillac has already presented a very interesting and successful executive sedan in the form of CT6 but for the powerful brand with vast heritage, Cadillac needs to go further. So, here is the CT8, a full-size luxury sedan ready to fight the best German saloons and make Lexus look irrelevant. You can expect it to be announced later this year and to debut in 2018. Also, you can expect uncompromised luxury, style, and elegance as this is Cadillac`s new flagship model.

Jaguar I-Pace

jaguar_i-pace_concept_32

The success of the great-looking F-Pace introduced Jaguar to the growing SUV market. It seems like buyers can’t get enough of the stylish F-Pace and its performance so Jaguar is preparing another, more compact SUV to attack the BMW X3 and Audi Q3 models. It will be called I-Pace and it will come with a range of gasoline, diesel and hybrid engines, fresh new styling with signature Jaguar design cues and front-wheel drive as standard and AWD as optional.

Lexus LS

lexus_ls_500

Another full-size luxury yacht on four wheels is coming in 2018 in form of a brand new Lexus LS. With signature and slightly controversial front end styling but with a sleek silhouette and unmistakable appearance, this Lexus should fight Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7-Series. The engine lineup should start with a 3.5-liter V6 and include V8 powerplants as well as hybrid versions. Expect LS to go on sale early 2018.

Toyota Supra

For years now the rumors of a new sports car developed between BMW and Toyota have been flooding the internet. There were a lot of photos of cars in various stages of development and testing as well as some pretty realistic renderings. Finally, the wait is over and in 2018, the new Toyota Supra will see the light of day and hordes of eager fans. We don`t know much about the specifications but we are sure that the new Supra will be fantastic.

Volvo XC40

volvo_concept_40.1_3

The SUV market is the biggest at the moment and all manufacturers want a piece of the action. That is why Volvo is introducing the XC40, a compact-sized SUV smaller than the XC60 which has just debuted. It should be available sometime next year and it will be similarly styled as the rest of Volvo’s SUV fleet. The main competitors are Audi Q3 and BMW X3 but Volvo should deliver more refinement and better styling to the segment.

Alpine A110

alpine_a110_premiere_edition_5

Renault has teased us with concepts for long but for 2018, finally, we have a production-ready model. It is a new version of the legendary Renault Alpine A110 from the early ’70s but re-imagined for the 21stcentury. It is a compact sports car with mid-engine rear wheel drive layout but with lightweight construction, modern materials, and uncompromised driving dynamics. The prices are not yet revealed but this car is a pure enthusiasts’ road machine and we are delighted to see it finally available for sale.

Audi Q8

audi-q8-lead_0

If you think that Audi Q7 is big enough, you are wrong. The even bigger, more expensive and more luxurious Q8 is coming next year. Already presented as a concept in January 2017, Q8 is set to debut as a production model very soon. It will feature signature Audi’s design and form but upgraded engines, more power, better interior and a long list of optional extras for ultimate comfort.

Range Rover Velar

range_rover_velar_r-dynamic_p380_hse_83

The Velar is an interesting new model that is just being announced with sales starting later this year as a 2018 model. It is slotted between Evoque and Discovery as a mid-sized SUV but it is more than just that. The Velar is kind of a personal luxury SUV dedicated to driving pleasure as well as comfort and equipment. It should bring a new dimension of SUV driving to the crowded segment and we are eager to see it in action.

Kia Stinger

kia_stinger_gt_21

One of the biggest surprises of 2017 and the most anticipated vehicles of 2018 is the new Kia Stinger. It is a sedan with great performance, fantastic styling, and affordable price. The performance sedan market is populated with pretty expensive cars which are out of reach of regular driving enthusiasts, and Kia is planning to change that by introducing an affordable but equally fast and good-looking sedan in form of the Stinger.

Hyundai i30 N

Hyundai-RN30-concept-front-three-quarters

The new i30 is already here with new and much better-looking styling, new engines and interior. But the biggest news for 2018 is i30 N, a performance, hot hatch version of the regular i30. You can expect at least 250 hp on the front axle, sharp handling, and aggressive exterior as well as good performance and swift acceleration. The i30 N should go against Ford Focus ST or Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Jeep Wrangler Pickup

7365

For years, pickup fans demanded that Wrangler gets a truck version. It seems quite logical since the Wrangler is a rugged SUV with sturdy chassis and great off-road capabilities. Finally, Jeep is ready to introduce a production version starting as 2018 model year. You can expect a price little bit higher than the regular Wrangler, double cab configuration with possible single cab coming later and powerful engines. We are sure that the new Wrangler Pickup will be sales hit not only in the USA but in the rest of the world as well.

Mercedes AMG GT Sedan

mercedes-amg_gt_concept_4

Despite the fact that the AMG GT is one of the best sports car money can buy at the moment, Mercedes is not satisfied. In fact, they want to expand the range by adding a four-door version of this model, a true performance sedan or pure sports car with four doors. It is an interesting concept and we are sure that Mercedes will deliver on the promise. The prototypes are already in testing and you can expect the world premiere to happen sometime next year.

Toughest SUVs And Trucks of 2017

You probably know that modern-day SUVs evolved from rugged and basic off-road vehicles from the past. Everything started from Jeeps and Land Rovers which earned their living by serving in the war, crossing the deserts and exploring hard to reach places. Then somebody thought of putting nicer interior, cabin insulation, and softer suspension to make it better for normal driving, and the SUV market was born. People loved the idea of having tough and big off-road vehicle in their driveways, capable of doing anything, but they also liked that it drove like a regular sedan. Basically, they liked the image but didn`t like the rough nature of off road cars. Manufacturers gave the public exactly that, tough looking SUVs with a gentle driving characteristic which are only suited for mall parking lots or highway cruising. Somewhere along the way, the simple but effective body on frame construction was lost and SUVs continued to be built on unibody platforms which stripped them of their off-road ability. Most modern SUVs look like they could cross Sahara without any problems but in reality, they wouldn`t last 15 minutes in harsh desert driving conditions. However, for the fans of really capable and tough SUVs and truck models, there is still hope since manufacturers are still producing models that can go through hell and back and even look good doing it. We have compiled a list of 10 vehicles that are durable, tough, engineered to endure anything and still good looking for you to drive them anywhere. Here are 10 toughest SUVs and trucks of 2017.

Cadillac Escalade

cadillac_escalade_26

Despite the fact that it looks like a luxury suite on wheels and it is the size of an apartment block, this Cadillac is one tough SUV. The body on frame construction, heavy-duty suspension, powerful V8 engine with 420 hp and big tow rating makes this luxury model one very capable car. Of course, the off-road driving is not its strongest side since this is a big and heavy SUV but the Escalade will provide good protection and can endure a lot of punishment. This is why the Cadillac Escalade is often used as the basis for bulletproofing and part of the motorcades of politicians and VIPs.

 

Chevrolet Colorado ZR2

2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2

The Colorado is a mid-sized pickup truck, smaller and cheaper than the regular Silverado but it has good construction, and interesting options to make it a very tough truck. The ZR2 package transforms this ordinary work vehicle into an off-road rocket. With the upgraded suspension, bigger wheels, locking front and rear differentials, Colorado ZR2 is up for anything and can go anywhere.
Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited

autowp.ru_jeep_wrangler_19

The Jeep Wrangler and its four-door variant, Wrangler Unlimited are the quintessential off-road vehicles and a direct descendant of the famous Jeep Willys which fought in World War II. That unique heritage and tradition is still alive and well with 2017 Wrangler and the basic concept is unchanged. The Jeep Wrangler is one of the toughest and most durable vehicles you can buy due to its simple and rugged construction, powerful engines and suspension built for off-road use. It is a little bit uncomfortable on paved surfaces but in mud, dust, and dirt, Wrangler is the king.
Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro

trd_toyota_4runner_pro_1_1

Toyota always had several tough and capable vehicles in their model lineup. One of the most interesting is the new 4Runner but with factory TRD Pro package. The base 4Runner is a very capable and strong SUV with the body on frame construction, strong suspension, and powerful engine. But with TRD Pro package it is a true off-road gem. Bigger tires, tougher springs, underbody protection and locking differential are just a part of the package and the best news is that the 4Runner TRD Pro costs around $36,000 which is quite cheap for such a capable and good looking machine.
Lexus GX

lexus_gx_460_29

Nobody expected Lexus GS to be such a good all-around vehicle since its size, equipment and looks all suggest it is just another luxury SUV who has forgotten about its off-road roots. But, the body on frame construction, advanced suspension along with intelligent all-wheel drive made this expensive vehicle really capable in the wild. You can drive through the most difficult terrains and still travel in luxury and be sure that you will arrive safe and sound. This is just amazing and too bad that most Lexus GX owners will never understand its true potential.
Ram Power Wagon

ram_2500_power_wagon_crew_cab_15

Dodge revived one of the greatest names in their history and gave it to specially prepared Ram which has only one purpose, and that is to be as tough and usable as possible. The regular Ram 1500 has got a lot of upgrades in terms of suspension, drivetrain, brakes and other components in order to make it into a Power Wagon. The result is pretty impressive because this is the truck that is equally at home in the mud or on the highway and it is equally good as a work vehicle or off-road truck. It is the best of both worlds and a great choice for anybody who is looking for a rugged truck.
Ford Raptor

ford_f-150_11_1

There isn’t anything on the market today that comes even close to the Ford Raptor. Based on the all-aluminum new F-150 truck, Raptor is an off-road beast with 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. It has 10-speed automatic transmission, full racing suspension with dual shocks per each wheel, heavy duty components, strengthened frame and body and off-road tires. The main purpose of this vehicle is to go over any terrain, jump sand dunes, splash through mud and climb on rocks faster and better than anything out there. And we have to say that Raptor accomplishes that making it the fastest street-legal off-road vehicle on the planet.
Mercedes G-Class

mercedes-benz_g_500_34

Introduced in the late ’70s, the Mercedes G-Class is one of those legendary models that changed very little during almost 40 years of production. Built as a military vehicle but soon presented to the civilian market, G-Class was always known for excellent off-road capabilities, quality, durability, and power. In the last 10 years, it became popular as a luxury ride but G-Class is much more than that. The advanced suspension, strong frame and powerful engine make this boxy SUV climb mountains and go through the deserts like it’s nothing. The only problem is its $122,000 base price but for that kind of cash, buyers will get top notch engineering, superb quality, and timeless design.
GMC Sierra 3500 HD

gmc_sierra_denali_3500_hd_crew_cab_3

The heavy duty class is reserved for biggest and most powerful trucks which are built for towing and commercial purposes. With enormous dimensions, heavy duty components, double rear wheels and towing capacity big enough to move continents, GMC Sierra 3500 HD is one tough and capable truck. Of course, there is no point of owning such capable vehicle if you are a regular driver but if you are doing construction work, towing big stuff, or just need pulling power, this is the truck for you.
Land Rover Defender

land_rover_defender_9_4

Yes, we know that Land Rover discontinued the Defender in 2016 but they are still available and if you hurry up, you can get this everlasting piece of British motoring history. The Defender, similar to Jeep Wrangler is one of the few true off-road vehicles converted to street use. Over the years, it was modified quite a bit but the basic construction, compact dimensions, aluminum body, and purpose stayed the same. That is why it was and it still is one of toughest and most durable SUVs on the market, a car that is capable of going through the jungle but still cool enough to go to dinner in a fancy restaurant. The Defender will be missed and we hope that Land Rover will replace it with something equally good.
