Just days after Hyundai revealed the Kona, a subcompact crossover which slots in between the Creta and Tucson, Kia has revealed their take on the same. Called the Stonic, the new crossover sports a design that fits right into the current Kia lineup. Following the lines of the Nissan Juke, which brought radical designs to the crossover table, both these SUVs are hoping to cash in on the fact that 21% of hatchback users (according to Kia) are looking to upgrade to a small SUV.
Porsche’s boffins at Stuttgart have revealed yet another 911 to sit on top of the already mental 911 Turbo S. Called the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series, the production numbers of this new variant does justice to its name as it is limited to 500 units.
The Kia Rio is the South Korean carmaker’s sub-compact hatchback offering. It’s not exactly the first car that comes to mind in this category, primarily dominated by the Japanese, but it has some presence in the UAE market (and rocking it in the KSA market) due its decent price-tag. However, the all-new Rio seems to have upped its game, and we recently had a go in it at a media drive event in the UAE.
BMW gave their entry level coupe/convertible, the 2-Series, a refresh which includes a list of minor tweaks. The refresh applies to the whole range of 2-Series cars, starting from the pedestrian base models all the way up to the fire-breathing M2. A new model, M240i M, is also slipped in to form a link between the normal 2-Series and the M2.
Alongside the updated Outback wagon, Subaru showcased the new version of its smallest car-based crossover, the Crosstrek, at the recent 2017 New York Auto Show. Unlike the refresh given to the Outback, the Crosstrek comes with an updated engine apart from the visual tweaks.
Dutch sports car manufacturer Spyker unveiled the Spyder version of their C8 Preliator model at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. The new C8 Preliator came with not just an open top, but also a new business link between Spyker and another low-volume sports car manufacturer, Koenigsegg.
German automaker Artega Automobil has released a new supercar, the Artega Scalo Superelletra. Artega went bust and bankrupt in July 2012, just 5 years after rolling out their first car, the GT, in 2007. But the brand managed to resurrect itself from its ashes by coming up with the Scalo in September 2015 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The new Artega Scalo Superelletra is an improved version of this all-electric model.
Chevrolet showcased their Redline trim at the 2015 SEMA car show which received good feedback from the audience.

The Redline trim will be available on the Cruze LT (sedan and hatch) Malibu LT, Camaro LT and SS, Trax LT, Equinox LT, Traverse Premier, Colorado LT, Silverado Double Cab LTZ71 and Silverado Crew Cab LTZ71. The Silverado will make it first to the market while the rest will follow by the end of 2017.
