This is the car that could become Mazda’s best-seller in Europe. It’s the new CX-30, a compact crossover that slots into the gap between the CX-3 and the CX-5.

With a string of great new models introduced in the past few years, Jaguar is on a roll. But the I-Pace marks a new direction for the company, and it means it now has a premium electric SUV on its books that has not only beaten its German rivals to market, but has the measure of electric pioneer Tesla, too.

SkyActiv-X is a brand new, spark controlled compression ignition (SPCCI) engine that has been under development at Mazda since 2015. The firm proudly insists that it’s the first true compression ignition petrol powered engine ready for production. It’s a petrol engine that uses intense pressure to combust the fuel-air mixture, like you would find in a diesel engine. Spark plugs remain in place as a control factor, but in the simplest terms, the aim is petrol performance and responsiveness with diesel fuel economy. 

The new Porsche 911 has once again set the bar high by managing to broaden its appeal with greater comfort, while simultaneously increasing its performance credentials.

This is the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Black Connected. The new trim level sits at the top of the brand’s family SUV line-up, designed to compete against snazzier versions of the Nissan Qashqai, Peugeot 3008, and our favourite family SUV, the Skoda Karoq.

When Citroen canned the C3 Picasso, it replaced it with the C3 Aircross. The change of name was the least significant part of the newcomer's arrival, because the small MPV transformed into a small crossover, albeit a crossover with just as much space inside as the people carrier that it replaced.

This is the Suzuki Swift Attitude: a trim level that aims to give the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo competitor a hot hatch vibe on a supermini budget. Prices start from £14,099, meaning that the Attitude costs about the same as the most basic versions of its more popular rivals.
