New SUVs

[FIRE]

Bang for the buck

[broadrun96]

Looks better than that thing above it and probably can get a couple of Dacia for the same price.

[FIRE]

Tail lights look like a Volvo.

Alfa Romeo Tonale

4.53 m long

130-160 hp gasoline engines (FWD)
270 hp plugin hybrid gasoline engine (4WD)






I wouldn't say it's boring, rather it's subtle (and unfashionably late).

I'd use the term, generic

Yep, the wheels and grill say Alfa - the rest of it could be anything. The same is broadly true of everything now though. The notable exception being BMW who seem to have decided to be 'different' to everyone else by intentionally making their cars absolutely awful looking.

[FIRE]

Based on the same platform as the Jeep Compass.

[Alfaholic]

Looks like somebody's mated the Brera with the Stelvio -and not in a good way.

Do we really need yet another of this type of vehicle?

[NaBUru38]

Well, it's Alfa's best chance of increasing volume.

[FIRE]

True, SUV is an important market.

Ford Everest

4- and 6-cylinder engines
Rear- and four-wheel drive

[S griffin]

Nice looking car, got all the necessary extras there by the sounds of it

[NaBUru38]

Mazda CX-60

4.75 m long

3.0L gasoline engine, 3.3L Diesel engine

2.5L 330 hp plugin hybrid gasoline engine
17.8 kWh battery
Four-wheel drive (the four wheels are actually connected to the engines)

[NaBUru38]

This is getting out of control. Mazda is becoming a ridiculous matrioshka.


* CX-3: 4.28 / 1.77 / 1.54 m
* CX-30: 4.40 / 1.80 / 1.54 m
* CX-5: 4.48 / 1.85 / 1.69 m
* CX-50: 4.72 / 1.82 / 1.61 m
* CX-60: 4.75 / 1.89 / 1.68 m

Nice looking car.
I see it's the successor of the Kadjar.

[broadrun96]

It looks world market ready (badge engineering) and not oddly marked or weird grill. So "retro" I guess given the latest car design vomit

[S griffin]

One of the best looking modern SUVs. Perfect shape

[FIRE]

Same platform as the Nissan Qashqai.

[S griffin]

I always though the Qashqai was the best SUV of the last decade and a bit

[NaBUru38]

Maserati Grecale

4.85 m long

2.0L 300hp and 3.0L 520 hp gasoline engines
8-speed automatic transmission
Four-wheel drive

1870-2030 kg





The front end is identical to the Ford Puma. The rear end is identical to the Jaguars.

[FIRE]

I like it.

[ScotsBrutesFan]

It's interesting but is it a SUV? It's low to the ground, it looks like a conventional sloping hatch, so limited rear capacity.

To me an SUV, if I had never seen one could be a Holden or Ford ute so popular in Australia with a V8 under the hood and tyres bigger that found on F1 car, or a VW caddy with the under pinnings of a Golf GTi or a slightly detuned Transit Supervan. In other words a utility vehicle that was quicker than your average van or pick up that could still be used to carry goods or used for services.

Instead we get a raised hatch back to carry passengers.

A debate that will be had repeatedly I fear....

BMW X7 (facelift)
