Audi has revealed its new range of plug-in hybrids, based on various model lines including the A6, A7, A8 and Q5. UPDATE, 25/2/19: Audi's local division has released a statement regarding the introduction of the new PHEV models in Australia. See bottom of article for details Set to make their public debut at the Geneva motor show next week, the four new PHEVs are badged 'TFSI e' – the company will reserve the 'e-tron' monicker for all-electric models from here on.

Peugeot Sport has revealed a high-performance version of the 508 Hybrid, ahead of its public debut at the Geneva motor show next month. Dubbed the 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered, the concept car teams a 'PureTech 200' 150kW turbocharged petrol engine with a 110bhp (82kW) electric motor on the front axle, while an additional 200bhp (150kW) electric motor drives the rear wheels, giving the performance sedan all-wheel drive.

The Skoda Vision iV will debut at the 2019 Geneva motor show at the beginning of March, and could preview a new electric crossover "coupe" for the brand. Like the recently launched Scala hatch, the company's word mark is used for the centre of the steering wheel instead of its winged arrow logo. The two-tier dashboard features a small instrument pod and an infotainment screen, both of which appear to float above the dashboard top.

Audi has released preview sketches of the Q4 e-tron concept it plans to unveil at the Geneva motor show next month. Like the company's other even-number-badged SUVs, the Q4 looks to be a coupe-styled crossover, with a sloping roofline and more aggressive appearance than say, a Q3.

Spy photographers have snapped the Kia Ceed-based SUV once again during cold weather testing in Europe, ahead of an anticipated reveal in the coming months. The new model is rumoured to be badged the 'XCeed', slotting between the pint-sized Stonic and larger Sportage in Kia Europe's line-up. As the name suggests, the new crossover will have a lot in common with the Ceed hatchback – think of it as a competitor to hatch-based crossovers like the Ford Focus Active and Subaru XV.
