UPDATE: Peugeot's Australian distributor Inchcape has released a short statement today confirming the 2021 Peugeot 2008 is set for an Australian debut this year, but specific timing, model details and pricing is still to be revealed. June 19, 2019: Peugeot has revealed its latest, littlest SUV and in both internal-combustion and pure-electric form.

A new Ford Escape will hit the Australian market during the third-quarter of 2020 priced from $35,990 before on-road costs, giving the Blue Oval brand a more modern competitor to the nation’s most popular SUVs, including Mazda’s CX-5 and Toyota’s RAV4.

Honda has revealed a more subtle version of its Civic Type R hot hatch, but it won't be heading for Australia. Although it maintains powertrain for which the Type R has been lauded, the Sportline is aimed at a slightly different market to the standard car or the Limited Edition released yesterday. For one, it ditches the oversized rear wing in place of a more subtle lip spoiler on the bootlid. The car is still no shrinking violet, but the more subtle look will no doubt broaden its appeal.

Audi Australia has announced pricing and specifications for its new RSQ3 and RSQ3 Sportback, along with an online reservation platform. Pricing will start from $89,900 before on-road costs when local availability kicks off in August. Audi’s performance portfolio will get a handy boost with the addition of the all-new RSQ3 range, complete with the first sloping-roofed Sportback variant.

BAC has revealed the Mono One, as it prepares to retire the single-seat racer and replace it with a brand-new model. Set to debut at the Geneva motor show in March, the Mono One will be built in extremely limited numbers: just three will be made, finished in red, white and black.
