The next-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 could ditch V8 power all together, in favour of an emissions-friendly plug-in hybrid four-cylinder powertrain – according to a new report. Britain's Autocar claims the new C63 will be the first of a number of upcoming AMG models to use an electrified version of the brand's new 'M139' 2.0-litre turbo four which debuted in the A45/CLA45 twins, and should be launched around 2022.

Spy photographers have captured the first photos of the upcoming Genesis GV70 crossover undergoing testing at the Nürburgring. Hyundai’s luxury brand Genesis launched with three sedans, the G70, G80 and (in other markets) the G90. All are capable, elegant luxury sedans but they’re just that – sedans. To truly make an impact in the luxury market, the fledgling brand needs to develop crossovers. Fortunately, it’s doing just that.

Porsche's fastest open-top 992-generation 911, the 2020 911 Turbo Cabriolet, has been snapped with almost no camouflage during testing. Although it still looks like a 911, the new Turbo takes Porsche's aggressive shape to new heights with a wheel and tyre package that fills the guards, and a prominent air intake in the rear haunches.

Kia has today launched its compact SUV, the Seltos, with a drive away price of $25,990 drive-away and a choice of five variants across two engine options. Despite being classified as a compact SUV, the Kia Seltos sits between the Hyundai Kona (with which it shares its platform) and the larger Kia Sportage.

Hyundai’s next-generation Tucson has been snapped again, with spy photographers capturing the mid-size SUV in a state of further undress. Hyundai’s vice president of styling, Sangyup Lee, has said the new Tucson will make you “freak out” as it’s even more visually stimulating than the 2020 Sonata. Even wearing less camouflage, it’s not clear just how the new Tucson will agitate you so, though it’s arguably a handsome evolution of Hyundai’s mid-size SUV.
