The Subaru Ascent concept, heralded last year by the Viziv-7 show car, has debuted at this week's New York motor show. Previewing the long-expected replacement for the Tribeca crossover, the Ascent concept is 5050mm long, 1989mm wide, 1839mm tall, and rides on a 2972mm wheelbase. If the final release of the car sticks to those dimensions, it will be larger than many of its competitors, including the Toyota Kluger, Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder, and Ford Explorer.

The all-new second-generation 2017 Audi Q5 has landed well ahead of customer car deliveries in June, promising to be better than its predecessor in every way. Audi’s best-selling SUV ever has been further honed, with an edgier design, more space and more advanced engines, as well as more technology to regain its market-leading position.

The endlessly teased Dodge Challenger SRT Demon has been fully revealed and detailed ahead of its debut at the 2017 New York motor show. With its fat tyres, vast Air-Grabber bonnet scoop, wheel arch flares, and 89mm wider body, the new Challenger SRT Demon makes the Hellcat seem positively tame.

The updated 2017 Ford Everest range has been detailed this week, bringing new models, added technology and a lower starting price for the Blue Oval's Thai-built off-roader.

The Hyundai Tucson mid-sized SUV has scored a range of welcome updates in response to the recent launch of the new Mazda CX-5, landing an equally efficient but more powerful base engine and upgraded infotainment. Out goes the old 2.0-litre MPi base petrol engine and in comes a new direct-injected 2.0 GDi unit, making 121kW and 203Nm (up from 114kW/192Nm) matched to either six-speed auto or six-speed manual transmissions depending on spec.
