Fourth-generation large SUV puts a focus on technology, with a host of standard driver assistance, safety and convenience systems.

Isuzu D-Max (facelift)

Isuzu's workhorse will be refreshed for 2018, with styling, interior and technology tweaks. As the class heats up, Isuzu may have a fight on its hands.

Range Rover SV coupé

Super-luxury, SVO-built two-door coupé will hit UK shores by the end of 2018, as an eventual follow-up to the Range Stormer concept of 2004. 

Mazda 6 facelift

Handsome saloon is updated with tweaked styling, handling and ride, while the interior has been given more upmarket tech.

Mazda CX-3 facelift

Handsome small SUV is updated with tweaked styling, handling and ride, while the interior has been given more upmarket tech. Sound familiar?

Mercedes-AMG GT four-door Coupé

600bhp launch version will eventually sit below a super-hybrid with 805bhp. We smell a 'Ring record attempt.

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (facelift)

Mild exterior tweaks for Mitsubishi's best-selling plug-in hybrid SUV betray a new engine under the bonnet with lower emissions, boosted generator output, a larger battery pack and new driving modes. 

Peugeot 508

Peugeot's bold new 508 saloon now takes fastback form, with dramatic styling marking a considerable departure over its thoroughly conventional predecessor. 

Porsche Macan facelift

SUV handling hero reaches its mid-life stage, and there are new turbo V6 engines on the way, as well as a tweaked interior. 

Suzuki Vitara facelift

Suzuki's stalwart SUV has been given a minor refresh on the outside, but ditches its 1.6-litre engine and gains 1.4 and 1.0-litre units in its place. New tech and interior materials now feature, too.

Volkswagen Touareg

Third-generation SUV gets new technology and road-biased styling as firm targets affluent buyers in Europe and China.

Volvo V60

Roomier load-lugger goes up against Audi A4 Avant and BMW 3 Series Touring. PHEV version will top the range.

October

Cupra Ateca

296bhp fast SUV is the first to arrive in its segment. It won't be alone for long, though...

Dallara Stradale

Motorsport outfit is to produce its first ever road car - it'll cost around £163,000 for UK customers when the first examples arrive in October.

Honda HR-V facelift

Honda's small SUV gets a new nose and upgraded interior, as well as a new turbocharged petrol engine borrowed from the Jazz Sport and updated 1.6-litre diesel.

Kia E-Niro

Soft launch for Kia's second EV, with the Niro EV going on sale as a powertrain option, rather than an all new model. 

Land Rover Discovery SVX

Mud-plugging SVX promises go-anywhere ability with a 517bhp V8 engine thrown in for good measure.

Land Rover Range Rover Velar SVR

Sister car to the Jaguar F-Pace gets a performance-focused SVR variant. 542bhp and 502lb ft of torque, in case you're wondering. 

Lister LFT-666

Devilishly powerful reworked Jaguar F-Type has been renamed from its original Thunder to be more welcoming of the F-Pace-based LFP SUV. 

November

Audi Q3

Audi's smallest SUV is now the Q2, so the Q3 has had some growing up to do. And that it has - Audi claims that the car is more practical, better equipped and more grown up in its styling than before. 

BMW 8 Series

BMW's new flagship with a not-so-new name. This version will actually get the supercar-baiting M8, though. Six and eight-cylinder petrols and diesels for the rest of the range, and a V12 coming later.

Kia Ceed Sportswagon

A Ceed with a bigger boot than a 5 Series Touring. Follows the lead of the new Ceed, with upgraded driver assistance systems too.  

Kia Sportage hybrid

The facelifted Sportage arrives soon, and Kia is working on a 48V mild hybrid variant of its best-selling SUV. Unlike other mild hybrids, it'll be a diesel.

McLaren Senna

Woking's latest Ultimate Series hypercar is a £750,000, 789bhp track-friendly weapon. Bad news if you want one - they're all sold.

Morgan EV3

Morgan's three-wheeled, first full-electric series production car gets a range of 120 miles, and will be available to customers from late 2018.

MG ZS Electric

MG's first EV is coming in the form of an electrified ZS, which will rival the Kia Niro EV and Hyundai Kona Electric. Given its likely bargain price, don't expect the same range as the others.

Skoda Fabia facelift

Skoda's supermini gets a new look, new tech, new interior and - gasp - no diesels. 

December

Audi A1

Audi's aiming squarely for Mini with the A1, which moves to MQB for greater refinement, handling and quietness.

Same 444bhp engine and 125lb ft hike, but five doors.

Audi SQ8

Hot hybrid version of Audi's future flagship SUV. 

Audi TT facelift

Audi's iconic small sports car drops diesel and some powertrains to be solely 2.0-litre petrol-powered. More generous equipment and a subtle styling refresh also feature.

BMW X5

Up to 600bhp in M-badged form, but entirely more conventional down the rest of the range. Gets a more X7-like look - could be divisive.

Citroën C5 Aircross

Citroën's Nissan Qashqai rival arrives at the end of the year, with the brand's Progressive Hydraulic Cushions suspension. Another with a hybrid version to follow.

Ford Ranger Raptor

Ford's first UK-bound Raptor model gets a 210bhp four-cylinder diesel with 369lb ft, heaps of on-road presence and fearsome off-road ability.

Honda CR-V hybrid

Honda's back on the hybrid hype after cutting the Insight some years ago with a petrol-electric CR-V. 

Infiniti QX50

The first car with a variable compression ratio engine, Infiniti promises all the talents of petrol with all the efficiency of diesel. Eureka. 

Kia Proceed

A Ceed Sportswagon-cum-coupé with a smaller boot than the 'real' Ceed Sportswagon. Part of Kia's design-led approach; an SUV is also coming 

Mercedes-AMG GT facelift

A power hike is certain, although it'll likely not match the E63 S's 603bhp. Exterior tweaks will be ever so subtle. 

Mercedes-Benz GLE

Mercedes' mid-sized SUV will arrive in time for Christmas. The 4.0-litre AMG 63 won't. 

Rolls-Royce Cullinan

Another brand's 'first' SUV, although you can bet your Phantom that this'll be bigger and more expensive than any of those. 

Seat Tarraco

Seat's seven-seater has been coming for a while now, and it'll even has a name now. Expect similar packaging to the Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace.

Skoda Kodiaq vRS

Another entrant into the fast SUV market, this time it's Skoda throwing its name into the mix. A diesel engine with lots of torque is reported to be under the bonnet. 

Subaru Forester facelift

Rock-solid SUV gets the same treatment as the Outback, with interior tweaks taking precedent over minor exterior changes. 

Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR

Hardcore version of Volkswagen's seventh-generation hot hatchback gets 286bhp and 272lb ft, and is inspired by the race-going TCR GTI.

Volkswagen Passat facelift

Venerable Volkswagen estate and saloon will be facelifted at the end of 2018. Expect the usual raft of efficiency, interior and exterior revisions. 

Volvo XC40 Twin Engine

Volvo's plug-in hybrid small SUV is coming from the fourth quarter onwards, with the brand's 1.5-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine mated to a supplementary electric motor. An EV arrives in 2019.

Early 2019

Alpina XD3

Alpina sticks two fingers up to the ever-forecast death of diesel with a 323bhp, 516bhp six-cylinder diesel SUV. Europeans get two more chargers, 55 more horses and 52lb ft more than the Brits, though.

Ariel Atom

Fourth-generation Atom gets Honda Civic Type R power, slingshotting itself (and the driver) to 62mph in 2.8sec. It's been subject to a ground-up rebuild.

Audi E-Tron

In a thoroughly modern Clash of the Titans, Audi will take on Jaguar in the electric market, with the E-Tron going up against Jag's I-Pace.

Bentley Flying Spur

Bentley's Continental-GT-with-a-boot arrives early next year. Expect the same engine setup as the Continental - W12 first, then V8, then PHEV. 

BMW 3 Series

Renewed 3 Series looks to topple the Mercedes-Benz C-Class from market dominance, with a revitalised take on driving dynamics and a Paris motor show reveal. 

BMW 7 Series facelift

BMW's biggest saloon adjusts its business suit to remain competitive with the refreshed Mercedes-Benz S-Class and new Audi A8. 

BMW X7

BMW's giant, Range Rover-rivalling SUV will be a seven-seat SUV, offered in xDrive30d, xDrive40i and xDrive50i flavours initially. More powertrains will follow. 

BMW Z4

“We wanted a Z4 with more dynamic capabilities, one that was sporty and precise. A pure roadster, a pure driving machine,” says BMW's driving dynamics expert. Sounds promising..

DS 7 Crossback E-Tense

Biggest DS SUV will get a plug-in hybrid powertrain shared with the Peugeot 5008 and upcoming plug-in Citroën C5 Aircross. Name derives from DS's electric supercar concept.

Ford Ranger Raptor

The UK's first Raptor pickup gets a 210bhp, 369lb ft diesel engine for going extra quickly between building sites.

Honda NSX facelift

Facelift aims to improve the hybrid supercar's handling, as well as comfort and emissions.

Honda HR-V facelift

1.6-litre diesel and 1.5-litre turbo petrol variants come with revised styling and tweaked interior.

Hyundai i30N Fastback

Hyundai's fast fastback is coming, with all the talents of the hatchback and a little more practicality. 

Hyundai Nexo

The UK's first second-generation hydrogen fuel cell car arrives with a fleet of improvements over the ix35 Fuel Cell and a name all of its own.

Jeep Wrangler

New Wrangler gets 2.0-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines, and the usual boxy styling and off-road prowess. 

Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

It's been spotted under development more times than just about anything else, and arrives early next year with the promise of better comfort, connectivity and a petrol-electric hybrid.

Lamborghini Aventador SV J

Italian car maker is developing a new version of its hardcore V12 supercar; takes aero influence from Huracán Performante.  

Lexus ES

Lexus's BMW 5 Series rival, the GS, has been replaced with the ES, borrowed from non-UK markets. It promises a greater driving focus and different design. 

Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupé

Porsche Panamera-baiting AMG-specific model can cover 0-62mph in 3.2sec and hit 196mph in range-topping guise. 

Mercedes-AMG A35

A-Class warm hatch will fight the Audi S3 saloon and ever-rumoured full-fat BMW 1 Series M, if the latter ever happens. 

Mercedes-Benz A-Class plug-in hybrid

A-Class PHEV will face the Volkswagen Golf GTE in a growing class of plug-in hatchbacks.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class saloon

A-Class saloon will fight the Audi RS3 saloon and ever-rumoured BMW 1 Series saloon, if the latter ever comes to Europe. AMG versions to follow.

Mercedes-Benz B-Class

Mercedes will persevere with its posh people-carrier as the B-Class enters its third generation in a market where MPV sales are tumbling.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class plug-in hybrid

Mercedes' electrification push continues in 2019 with another plug-in - the top-selling C-Class will get a PHEV powertrain.

MG HS

MG hasn't yet confirmed the HS for the UK, but with its introduction in China in recent months, as well as the GS's replacement due in early 2019, the timings line up eerily well. 

Peugeot 508 SW

The Peugeot saloon has its verve back, so the estate is expected to have the same return to form. Hybrid flagship will be expensive, mind. 

Renault Alaskan

The Renault Alaskan has already been pushed back once, but Renault's first pick-up is penned in for a 2018 launch. 

Renault Kadjar facelift

Renault's Nissan Qashqai rival gets the subtlest of visual tweaks, although more attention has been paid to the interior. There's a new 1.3-litre petrol engine, too.
