Euro NCAP has released its latest round of safety ratings this week, with several upcoming models bound for Australia scoring five-star ratings – including the SsangYong Korando and BMW Z4.

Skoda has confirmed it will add Monte Carlo models to its new Scala hatch and Kamiq crossover ranges. Details and photos of the new models have yet to be released, but if recent Monte Carlo models are anything to go by, the new Scala and Kamiq variants will receive a whole bunch of styling changes and equipment upgrades, but no extra power or torque.

Skoda has previewed a new sporty SUV concept for China, scheduled to be unveiled at the Shenzen motor show in June. Shown in a pair of design sketches, the Vision GT looks to be an athletic compact crossover that appears to draw much inspiration from the new Scala hatchback, along with the company's wider SUV range.
