Kia has officially outed the 2018 Ceed Sportswagon in Geneva, blending the hatchback's Euro-chic looks with an ultra-practical load bay. Up front, the Sportswagon looks just like the Ceed hatchback revealed last month (and the new Cerato sedan), while the rear end is clearly inspired by the Optima Sportswagon. As is often the case with compact wagons, it's not quite as sporty as the hatchback from the back-end, but the extra load-lugging capacity inside more than compensates.

Subaru has unveiled the latest addition to its ever-expanding lineup of Viziv show-cars, revealing the Viziv Tourer Concept in Geneva. Just like the concepts preceding it, the Viziv Tourer is unlikely to be a pure flight of fancy from Subaru. Its past show-cars closely previewed the Ascent, and elements of previous Viziv studies have found their way into the production Impreza and Outback.

Aston Martin has used the Geneva motor show to relaunch Lagonda as a pure-electric luxury brand for eco-minded members of the Jetset. The brand's styling direction is previewed with the 'Vision Concept' pictured here, designed to deliver "an entirely new approach to luxury". "Lagonda Vision Concept is an incredibly bold design statement," said Aston Martin chief creative officer, Marek Reichman.

Skoda has officially unveiled the Vision X concept in Geneva, with a company-first hybrid system including compressed-natural gas, petrol and electric power. From the outside, the Vision X looks like a shrunken take on the design language behind the Kodiaq and Karoq. That's not an accident, because the concept previews a production SUV to sit below those two models. Measuring 4255mm long, 1807mm wide and 1537mm tall, it's a dead ringer for the Volkswagen T-Roc in proportion.

The latest Ford Mustang Bullitt which, for many, stole the show in Detroit a few months back, is coming to Australia. Ford confirmed this week it would expand allocations beyond USA for Europe and Australia, and will make a small pool of buyers very happy by doing so. While the ‘Stang has been Australia’s top-selling sports car for 26 months running, it’s important to lob unique versions to keep the novelty factor high.
