The Toyota FT-4X concept has been previewed today ahead of its debut at the New York motor show in a few weeks time. Aside for acknowledging the existence of the concept and announcing its upcoming debut on the first press day of the 2017 New York motor show, Toyota is only saying that the car will be "four wheeling" and "scene stealing". All we know at this stage is that it will have 18-inch alloy wheels shod with the chunky 225/55 Goodyear tyres. Above: Toyota 4Runner.

The next-generation Ssangyong Rexton has been revealed on the Korean automaker's social media pages. Due to have its in-the-flesh debut at the upcoming Seoul motor show, the new Rexton has so far gone by the codename Y400, and will be sold in its home market as the Ssangyong G4 Rexton. According to Autocar, the new vehicle will do without the G4 appellation throughout much of the rest of the world.

Audi is set to introduce three all-new electric vehicles by 2020, and the company’s chairman, Rupert Stadler, reckons the market is ready for it. Audi’s first pure EV will be a “pure electric SUV with a luxury character”, Stadler said when speaking to Australian media at the 2017 Geneva motor show – but he confirmed that it won’t be the most expensive SUV in the company’s line-up.

If you don't already know, Geneva is in Switzerland. And while some Aussies might miss having motor shows here in Oz, few will see that as enough of an excuse to splash out to attend a major international one. Luckily, this year's 2017 Geneva motor show (on until March 19) was my first, and it was so good, I didn't want anyone to miss out.

Audi has made it clear that there's a fine line between youthful design and creating cars that older people will buy to feel young, and it's something the company is clearly wary of.
