New cars 2021: what’s happening and when? Car News

Bmw x4

The X4 has grown from the only true model in its class to several new rivals in the form of the Mercedes-Benz GLC and the new Audi Q5 Sportback. The changes to the X3 will be applied to the X4 at the same time, which means that the front and the interior change. Like the X3 M, the X4 M will also be given a makeover.

Citroën e-Berlingo, Opel Combo-e, Peugeot Rifter EV

The PSA Group’s plan to run electric vehicles and combustion engine models on the same platform is paying off, and attention has now turned to fleet-focused minivans based on vans. The Citroën e-Berlingo, Vauxhall Combo-e and Peugeot Rifter EV models will use a 50 kWh battery paired with a 134 hp electric motor, promising decent performance and a respectable range of 200 miles.

Cupra Formentor VZ5

A limited-edition Cupra Formentor VZ5 will arrive in the UK later in 2021, although the hot crossover is only available in left-hand drive. Powered by a 2.5-liter turbo engine producing 385 hp and 354 lb-ft, the five-cylinder VZ5 can hit 0 to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds to reach a top speed of 155 mph. Pricing has yet to be revealed until the car arrives in Q3 2021, but only 7,000 units will be made.

Fiat 500X Convertible

The Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet won’t have the open-top crossover niche for long, it seems. Fiat is preparing to launch an open-top version of its 500X compact SUV before the end of the year, according to reports, and because it will sport a partially-open roof similar to the smaller 500 Cabriolet, it is likely to retain its rear doors, unlike the T-Roc.

Ford Mustang Mach-1

The Mustang Mach-E is an evolutionary electric SUV. The Mustang Mach 1… is not. It’s a Mustang that doesn’t care about the future at all, as it’s too busy giving you a big smile using its utterly old-school charms. The limited-run Mach 1 will be the fastest Mustang ever sold in Europe, pairing classic retro styling with a 5.0-liter, 454-hp V8. The Mach 1 costs £ 55,185 with a manual gearbox, although a 10-speed automatic version is available for £ 2,000 more.
