Fuel Economy: 11.9km/L City, 17km/L Hwy

Favourite Feature: Quick steering and understated design.
Audi Q5: The Fancy 4WD - the perfect all-wheeler for those who spend most of their time in the city but like the thought of going off-road now and then. Spacious, luxurious and cool, it ticks any number of boxes.
Engine: Intercooled Turbo Premium Unleaded I-4, 2.0 L
Fuel Economy: 9.7km/L City, 11.4km/L Hwy
Favourite Feature: The brand new interior is top of the range.
Alfa Romeo Giulia: The Modest European - Inspired by the golden age of Italian style and their 1960s masterpiece, the Giuletta Sprint, the 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia is for those who want a slice of European cool without breaking the bank.
Engine: Intercooled Turbo Premium Unleaded I-4, 2.0 L
Fuel Economy: 10.2km/L City, 14km/L Hwy
Favourite Feature: The new Alfa is a superb drive.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class: The Immodest European - It may look pretty similar from the outside, but it’s under the bonnet where the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class makes its mark, with new V-6 and V-8 engines giving this classic some more oomph. There’s not much to say about this one, it’s still the standard in luxury.
Engine: Twin Turbo Premium Unleaded V-6, 3.0 L
Fuel Economy: 8km/L City, 11.9km/L Hwy
Favourite Feature: The powerful new engine.
Jeep Wrangler: The Off-Roader - The 2018 Jeep Wrangler keeps things simple, making a few key adjustments to the previous Wrangler. You don’t always need a revolution, and this classic off-roader still offers all you need for beating a track.
Engine: Regular Unleaded V-6, 3.6 L
Fuel Economy: 7.2km/L City, 9.8km/L Hwy
Favourite Feature: Beautiful interior to complement its rugged exterior.
Volkswagen Golf: The Reasonable Rocket - The new, slimmer Volkswagen Golf is the perfect car for those of you who burn rubber, but do it reasonably. As aesthetically pleasing as ever and with a slightly slimmer body, this is another hit out of the park for VW. Get the GTI, with its 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine, if you really want to move.
Engine: Turbocharged Premium Unleaded I-4, 1.8 L
Fuel Economy: 8.9km/L City, 12.3km/L Hwy

Engine: Twin Turbo Premium Unleaded V-8, 4.4 L
Fuel Economy: Currently unavailable
Favourite Feature: It’s the fastest M5 yet, with the same modest exterior.
Tesla Model 3: The Electric - The Tesla Model 3 technically came out in 2017, but with a slow rollout, most punters won’t receive it until 2018. It’s the gold standard in electric cars; rapid, stylish and efficient. Expect to see these popping up everywhere.
Engine: Electric
Fuel Economy: N/A
Favourite Feature: A rapid electric car, what’s not to like?
The Pipe Dream - The Lamborghini Huracan Performante is the most impressive car the luxury Italian brand has produced in decades and a must-have for those who don’t need to ask how much a car costs. For the rest of us, it’s the stuff of dreams.
Engine: Premium Unleaded V-10, 5.2 L
Fuel Economy: 6km/L City, 8.9km/L Hwy
