Mercedes-Benz has categorically ruled out developing an off-road-focused SUV derivative of its forthcoming dual-cab ute. This means there will be no Mercedes-badged, upmarket alternative to commercial-based off-roaders such as the Ford Everest. As we know, Mercedes-Benz is developing a dual-cab ute based on the Navara platform developed by alliance partner Nissan, for release before 2020.

It seems the Range Rover Evoque Convertible has started something of a trend, with the Volkswagen T-Cross Breeze concept convertible SUV making its debut at the 2016 Geneva motor show. If the Volkswagen T-Cross name sounds familiar, that's because the German brand has used a similar moniker for a concept model smaller than the Tiguan in the past - that show car was known as the T-Roc.

The all-new Mercedes-Benz C-Class cabriolet — and its Mercedes-AMG C43 cabrio derivative — made world premieres this week, ahead of an Australian arrival at the end of 2016, in time for next summer. Mercedes-Benz’s new entry level four-seater convertible, which sits below the E-Class cabriolet in the pantheon, retains the clean lines of the new C coupe — diamond grille, long bonnet, wide shoulders and high belt-line — especially with the fabric roof in place.

The all-new and production-ready 2017 Toyota C-HR compact SUV has been revealed today, ahead of an official premiere at next week’s Geneva motor show. The C-HR made its first appearance as a striking three-door concept at the 2014 Paris motor show, before appearing again with a second pair of doors and a more production-focused look at last year’s Frankfurt show.

The new 2017 Audi S4 Avant performance wagon has been revealed ahead of a Geneva motor show debut next week. The new S4 Avant joins the S4 sedan that debuted at last year’s Frankfurt motor show, and both will join the newly launched 2016 Audi A4 line-up in Australia toward the end of this year.
