The 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is for that “active lifestyle” consumer who just doesn’t want a crossover SUV. It has Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive and nearly an extra inch of ground clearance compared to the regular Golf Sportwagen.
Redesigned Mazda Miata MX-5 RF
The recently redesigned Mazda Miata is a nice-looking sports car. It looks even better with a roof on it. The mid-section of the MX-5 RF’s hardtop can fold away in about 12 seconds, leaving behind a Targa-style open roof.
Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe
Technically speaking no, it’s not a coupe. Rather, it’s a coupe-shaped, four-door SUV. Mercedes promises the kind of ride quality you’d expect with a “decidedly sporty agility.”
Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
In the Jeep line-up, the Trailhawk name denotes serious off-road capability. This Grand Cherokee has nearly 11 inches of available ground clearance, standard skid plates and a unique version of Jeep’s air suspension with more flexibility for rough terrain.
Jaguar F-Type SVR
This is the first Jaguar model from Jaguar Land Rover’s new Special Vehicle Operations division. Its most striking feature is its 200 mile per hour top speed. Few owners will probably get to try that, though. It’s powered by a 575-horsepower supercharged V8.
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
GM’s new high-performance Camaro offers a 640-horsepower supercharged V8 as well as a 10-speed automatic transmission to more precisely use all that power. A six-speed manual transmission will also be available. The ZL1’s body was refined through more than 100 hours of wind tunnel testing, according to GM.
Hyundai Ioniq Electric
The Ioniq will offer buyers three different electrified drive systems — Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid or Electric — for those who want low- or zero-emission driving. The Plug-in Hybrid version has an estimated 25 mile all-electric range before turning to gasoline power. The Electric model will go about 110 miles on a charge.
Bmw Alpina B7
Alpina, a company that soups up BMW cars, is based just a short distance from BMW’s Munich home. The two companies work together closely; in fact, some Alpina parts are installed on the BMW assembly line. The cars are then shipped to Alpina’s own factory for more modifications.
Audi R8 Spyder
Debuting in striking yellow, the new Audi R8 Spyder has a 540-horsepower V10 engine capable of launching this car to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds.
Acura MDX
Acura upgraded the looks and performance of its popular large SUV. The most obvious change is the new grill in a more chiseled-looking front end. Also now standard is a set of semi-autonomous driving technologies that Honda’s luxury brand refers to as AcuraWatch.
Nissan GT-R
This improved Nissan GT-R sports car has a slightly different nose and a nicer interior than last year’s model. It also can now produce 565 horsepower, about 20 more than the 2016 version.
Subaru Impreza
The new Impreza will be available in a Sport model with larger 18-inch wheels, sport-tuned suspension and torque vectoring all-wheel-drive, a system that sends different amounts of power to each back wheel based on cornering forces. It also debuts a new more shapely “design language” for Subaru.
Genesis New York Concept
The New York concept shows what a smaller future model from Hyundai’s new Genesis luxury division might look like. It’s designed to reflect a balance of sporty agility and refined performance. This concept has a 245-horsepower hybrid powertrain.
Spyker C8 Preliator
Spyker’s motto is “Nulla tenacia invia est via.” In Latin, that means, “For the tenacious, no road is impassable.” The Dutch supercar maker is known for unusual but elegant designs. The Preliator is powered by a supercharged Audi V8 engine and its name means “warrior” in Latin. The word pays homage to, among other things, Spyker’s own financial struggles over the last several years.
Toyota 86
Toyota’s Scion is dead, but the carmaker is picking up the best models from that brand. Among them: the former Scion FR-S, now renamed the Toyota 86. In addition to a new name, the car also gains an additional five horsepower.
Toyota Prius Prime
This is the, essentially, the new Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid. Based on the recently redesigned Prius, this new plug-in version can go 22 miles on a full charge before the car’s gasoline engine needs to start. It also includes all the advanced technology features available on the most expensive versions of the plug-free Prius.
