Fresh cars 2015: next year’s most significant cars
As two thousand fourteen draws to a close, we now have a very good idea of what will be the largest fresh cars in 2015.
We had a preview of what’s to come next year at the Paris Motor Demonstrate back in October, which demonstrated that we’re in for fairly a treat, with significant fresh models expected from Jaguar, Land Rover and Vauxhall.
Of course, it’s not just the British manufacturers that will be releasing fresh cars. The Volvo XC90 SUV will hit UK roads, as will the fresh Mazda MX-5 and the long-awaited Honda Civic Type R. Audi could also confirm production of the five-door Audi TT Sportback, which would be very big news in 2015.
Scroll down to read more about the fresh cars set to grab all the headlines next year.
Audi TT Sportback
While cars such as the Jaguar XE and Land Rover Discovery Sport have been known about for months, the five-door Audi TT Sportback came as something of a surprise when it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Demonstrate. As you’d expect from a TT, the Sportback has striking looks courtesy of a trapezoid-shaped grille, a strong shoulder line and low roofline. Pillarless doors are common on coupes, making the entire car look sleeker. The extra doors add a entire fresh level of practicality to the TT, however the car on display in the French capital was stringently a four-seater. Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system should also be available and you can expect the fresh car to share petrol and diesel engines with the TT coupe. Audi has not officially confirmed that the car will be put into production but it looks likely, and that would make the TT Sportback one of the thickest launches of 2015.
Honda Civic Type R
Honda has built slew of rapid hatchbacks in the past, and the two thousand fifteen Honda Civic Type R is set to become the most extreme hot hatch the rock hard has ever made. Featuring a turbocharged engine with 276bhp, an extreme ‘racing car for the road’ setup and technical know-how acquired from Honda’s many motorsports programmes, the fresh Honda Civic Type R has all the makings of a stellar hot hatch to rival the Ford Concentrate ST, Volkswagen Golf GTI, SEAT Leon Cupra and Renault Megane Renaultsport. Honda is now taking deposits of £3,000 for the fresh car, with very first deliveries set for spring of next year.
Volvo XC90
In latest years, Volvo has been a pioneer of car safety technology, and the two thousand fifteen Volvo XC90 is set to showcase its latest injury prevention systems, such as a device that prevents collisions with oncoming traffic. The fresh XC90 will also feature a range of fresh engines (including an innovative and amazingly efficient “Twin Engine” hybrid), along with a chassis and design language that will feature on every fresh Volvo model for the foreseeable future. The car is set to go on sale in early 2015.
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is one of the company’s best selling models, so it’s of no real surprise that the fresh one, due early next year, isn’t expected to be radically different from the car it substitutes. However, there are still some interesting fresh developments for the two thousand fifteen Audi A4, such as weight reduction technics to improve efficiency and treating compared to the current car. Two clever hybrid engines will be available too. Add a top notch interior and the desirable Audi badge to the mix, and the fresh A4 looks very likely to proceed the model’s popularity.
Jaguar XE
The upcoming Jaguar XE is one of the most significant cars the company has ever made. The mall saloon is going head-to-head in two thousand fifteen with the BMW three Series and Mercedes C-Class, with a fresh range of ultra-efficient engines, and rail and treating that’s claimed to be best in class. Fundamental to its success will be an all-new lightweight aluminium chassis. More information on the XE – including pricing details and an exact release date – is available in our Jaguar XE story here.
Vauxhall Astra
Remarkably, given that today’s Vauxhall Astra is one of the UK’s best selling cars, Vauxhall has a big overhaul in store for the fresh version due next year. A more striking design will be a radical departure from the current car’s styling, while enlargened length will result in improved practicality. Also expected is a fresh range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, along with Vauxhall’s latest ‘IntelliLink’ infotainment software. Little else is known at the moment, however more will of course be exposed as the launch of the two thousand fifteen Vauxhall Astra approaches.
Mazda MX-5
We’re big fans of the Mazda MX-5, and – with over 900,000 versions sold since the model was introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine – it seems a lot of you are too. As a result, expectations for the all-new version are high, but signs so far are promising. Not only will the upcoming two thousand fifteen Mazda MX-5 feature the firm’s latest range of powerful-yet-efficient petrol engines, but it’s expected to weigh around 100kg less than the current car, making it even more joy to drive. The fresh Mazda MX-5 will be exposed in September later this year, before going on sale some time in 2015.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The overhauling of the Range Rover family has been a big success, and now Land Rover is planning on doing the same for the Land Rover Discovery lineup. The very first model in this fresh family of cars will be the Land Rover Discovery Sport, an SUV that will substitute the Freelander. Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX tightly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a excellent range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.
Ford Edge
However next year’s launch of the fresh Ford Mustang is undoubtedly big news, the Ford Edge that’s coming in early two thousand fifteen is one to pay close attention to. While we’ll let you make your mind up about the car’s design, the incoming SUV does have the potential to be a big success. The Ford Edge is claimed to suggest more interior space than its chief rivals, and will feature some of the firm’s latest safety technology. Highlights include inflatable rear seatbelts, updated voice activation software and a system that alters how much steering wheel input is needed at low and high speeds.
Vauxhall Viva
The Vauxhall Viva might be a name synonymous with a puny saloon from the 1960s and 70s, but Vauxhall is set to bring it back next year on a Volkswagen up! and Hyundai i10-rivalling city car. Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015. Vauxhall is expected to unveil the fresh Viva at next year’s Geneva Motor Demonstrate in March.
Skoda Superb
The current Skoda Superb indeed does live up to its name – very few rivals can match it for build quality, convenience and practicality, and even fewer at the Superb’s price. However, it beginning to feel a little date, so it’s good to hear Skoda is working on an all-new version. Best of all, the two thousand fifteen Skoda Superb is said to be slightly longer than the current car, which should help it to retain its status as one of the most spacious cars in its class. Prices and specifications aren’t known yet, tho’ we should find out when the fresh Skoda Superb is exposed in mid-2015.

In latest years, Volvo has been a pioneer of car safety technology, and the two thousand fifteen Volvo XC90 is set to showcase its latest injury prevention systems, such as a device that prevents collisions with oncoming traffic. The fresh XC90 will also feature a range of fresh engines (including an innovative and exceptionally efficient “Twin Engine” hybrid), along with a chassis and design language that will feature on every fresh Volvo model for the foreseeable future. The car is set to go on sale in early 2015.
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is one of the company’s best selling models, so it’s of no real surprise that the fresh one, due early next year, isn’t expected to be radically different from the car it substitutes. However, there are still some interesting fresh developments for the two thousand fifteen Audi A4, such as weight reduction technologies to improve efficiency and treating compared to the current car. Two clever hybrid engines will be available too. Add a top notch interior and the desirable Audi badge to the mix, and the fresh A4 looks very likely to proceed the model’s popularity.
Jaguar XE
The upcoming Jaguar XE is one of the most significant cars the company has ever made. The mall saloon is going head-to-head in two thousand fifteen with the BMW three Series and Mercedes C-Class, with a fresh range of ultra-efficient engines, and rail and treating that’s claimed to be best in class. Fundamental to its success will be an all-new lightweight aluminium chassis. More information on the XE – including pricing details and an exact release date – is available in our Jaguar XE story here.
Vauxhall Astra
Remarkably, given that today’s Vauxhall Astra is one of the UK’s best selling cars, Vauxhall has a big overhaul in store for the fresh version due next year. A more striking design will be a radical departure from the current car’s styling, while enhanced length will result in improved practicality. Also expected is a fresh range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, along with Vauxhall’s latest ‘IntelliLink’ infotainment software. Little else is known at the moment, tho’ more will of course be exposed as the launch of the two thousand fifteen Vauxhall Astra approaches.
Mazda MX-5
We’re big fans of the Mazda MX-5, and – with over 900,000 versions sold since the model was introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine – it seems a lot of you are too. As a result, expectations for the all-new version are high, but signs so far are promising. Not only will the upcoming two thousand fifteen Mazda MX-5 feature the firm’s latest range of powerful-yet-efficient petrol engines, but it’s expected to weigh around 100kg less than the current car, making it even more joy to drive. The fresh Mazda MX-5 will be exposed in September later this year, before going on sale some time in 2015.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The overhauling of the Range Rover family has been a thick success, and now Land Rover is planning on doing the same for the Land Rover Discovery lineup. The very first model in this fresh family of cars will be the Land Rover Discovery Sport, an SUV that will substitute the Freelander. Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX stiffly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a superb range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.
Ford Edge
Tho’ next year’s launch of the fresh Ford Mustang is undoubtedly big news, the Ford Edge that’s coming in early two thousand fifteen is one to pay close attention to. While we’ll let you make your mind up about the car’s design, the incoming SUV does have the potential to be a big success. The Ford Edge is claimed to suggest more interior space than its chief rivals, and will feature some of the firm’s latest safety technology. Highlights include inflatable rear seatbelts, updated voice activation software and a system that alters how much steering wheel input is needed at low and high speeds.
Vauxhall Viva
The Vauxhall Viva might be a name synonymous with a petite saloon from the 1960s and 70s, but Vauxhall is set to bring it back next year on a Volkswagen up! and Hyundai i10-rivalling city car. Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015. Vauxhall is expected to unveil the fresh Viva at next year’s Geneva Motor Display in March.
Skoda Superb
The current Skoda Superb truly does live up to its name – very few rivals can match it for build quality, convenience and practicality, and even fewer at the Superb’s price. However, it beginning to feel a little date, so it’s good to hear Skoda is working on an all-new version. Best of all, the two thousand fifteen Skoda Superb is said to be slightly longer than the current car, which should help it to retain its status as one of the most spacious cars in its class. Prices and specifications aren’t known yet, however we should find out when the fresh Skoda Superb is exposed in mid-2015.

Fresh cars 2015: next year’s most significant cars
As two thousand fourteen draws to a close, we now have a very good idea of what will be the largest fresh cars in 2015.
We had a preview of what’s to come next year at the Paris Motor Display back in October, which showcased that we’re in for fairly a treat, with significant fresh models expected from Jaguar, Land Rover and Vauxhall.
Of course, it’s not just the British manufacturers that will be releasing fresh cars. The Volvo XC90 SUV will hit UK roads, as will the fresh Mazda MX-5 and the long-awaited Honda Civic Type R. Audi could also confirm production of the five-door Audi TT Sportback, which would be very big news in 2015.
Scroll down to read more about the fresh cars set to grab all the headlines next year.
Audi TT Sportback
While cars such as the Jaguar XE and Land Rover Discovery Sport have been known about for months, the five-door Audi TT Sportback came as something of a surprise when it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Demonstrate. As you’d expect from a TT, the Sportback has striking looks courtesy of a trapezoid-shaped grille, a strong shoulder line and low roofline. Pillarless doors are common on coupes, making the entire car look sleeker. The extra doors add a entire fresh level of practicality to the TT, tho’ the car on display in the French capital was rigorously a four-seater. Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system should also be available and you can expect the fresh car to share petrol and diesel engines with the TT coupe. Audi has not officially confirmed that the car will be put into production but it looks likely, and that would make the TT Sportback one of the thickest launches of 2015.
Honda Civic Type R
Honda has built slew of rapid hatchbacks in the past, and the two thousand fifteen Honda Civic Type R is set to become the most extreme hot hatch the rock-hard has ever made. Featuring a turbocharged engine with 276bhp, an extreme ‘racing car for the road’ setup and technical know-how acquired from Honda’s many motorsports programmes, the fresh Honda Civic Type R has all the makings of a stellar hot hatch to rival the Ford Concentrate ST, Volkswagen Golf GTI, SEAT Leon Cupra and Renault Megane Renaultsport. Honda is now taking deposits of £3,000 for the fresh car, with very first deliveries set for spring of next year.
Volvo XC90
In latest years, Volvo has been a pioneer of car safety technology, and the two thousand fifteen Volvo XC90 is set to showcase its latest injury prevention systems, such as a device that prevents collisions with oncoming traffic. The fresh XC90 will also feature a range of fresh engines (including an innovative and amazingly efficient “Twin Engine” hybrid), along with a chassis and design language that will feature on every fresh Volvo model for the foreseeable future.

Not only will the upcoming two thousand fifteen Mazda MX-5 feature the firm’s latest range of powerful-yet-efficient petrol engines, but it’s expected to weigh around 100kg less than the current car, making it even more joy to drive. The fresh Mazda MX-5 will be exposed in September later this year, before going on sale some time in 2015.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The overhauling of the Range Rover family has been a meaty success, and now Land Rover is planning on doing the same for the Land Rover Discovery lineup. The very first model in this fresh family of cars will be the Land Rover Discovery Sport, an SUV that will substitute the Freelander. Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX rigidly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a excellent range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.
Ford Edge
Tho’ next year’s launch of the fresh Ford Mustang is undoubtedly big news, the Ford Edge that’s coming in early two thousand fifteen is one to pay close attention to. While we’ll let you make your mind up about the car’s design, the incoming SUV does have the potential to be a big success. The Ford Edge is claimed to suggest more interior space than its chief rivals, and will feature some of the firm’s latest safety technology. Highlights include inflatable rear seatbelts, updated voice activation software and a system that alters how much steering wheel input is needed at low and high speeds.
Vauxhall Viva
The Vauxhall Viva might be a name synonymous with a petite saloon from the 1960s and 70s, but Vauxhall is set to bring it back next year on a Volkswagen up! and Hyundai i10-rivalling city car. Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015. Vauxhall is expected to unveil the fresh Viva at next year’s Geneva Motor Showcase in March.
Skoda Superb
The current Skoda Superb indeed does live up to its name – very few rivals can match it for build quality, convenience and practicality, and even fewer at the Superb’s price. However, it commencing to feel a little date, so it’s good to hear Skoda is working on an all-new version. Best of all, the two thousand fifteen Skoda Superb is said to be slightly longer than the current car, which should help it to retain its status as one of the most spacious cars in its class. Prices and specifications aren’t known yet, tho’ we should find out when the fresh Skoda Superb is exposed in mid-2015.
Fresh cars 2015: next year s best cars exposed, Carbuyer
Fresh cars 2015: next year’s most significant cars
As two thousand fourteen draws to a close, we now have a very good idea of what will be the thickest fresh cars in 2015.
We had a preview of what’s to come next year at the Paris Motor Display back in October, which demonstrated that we’re in for fairly a treat, with significant fresh models expected from Jaguar, Land Rover and Vauxhall.
Of course, it’s not just the British manufacturers that will be releasing fresh cars. The Volvo XC90 SUV will hit UK roads, as will the fresh Mazda MX-5 and the long-awaited Honda Civic Type R. Audi could also confirm production of the five-door Audi TT Sportback, which would be very big news in 2015.
Scroll down to read more about the fresh cars set to grab all the headlines next year.
Audi TT Sportback
While cars such as the Jaguar XE and Land Rover Discovery Sport have been known about for months, the five-door Audi TT Sportback came as something of a surprise when it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Display. As you’d expect from a TT, the Sportback has striking looks courtesy of a trapezoid-shaped grille, a strong shoulder line and low roofline. Pillarless doors are common on coupes, making the entire car look sleeker. The extra doors add a entire fresh level of practicality to the TT, tho’ the car on display in the French capital was stringently a four-seater. Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system should also be available and you can expect the fresh car to share petrol and diesel engines with the TT coupe. Audi has not officially confirmed that the car will be put into production but it looks likely, and that would make the TT Sportback one of the thickest launches of 2015.
Honda Civic Type R
Honda has built slew of quick hatchbacks in the past, and the two thousand fifteen Honda Civic Type R is set to become the most extreme hot hatch the rock-hard has ever made. Featuring a turbocharged engine with 276bhp, an extreme ‘racing car for the road’ setup and technical know-how acquired from Honda’s many motorsports programmes, the fresh Honda Civic Type R has all the makings of a stellar hot hatch to rival the Ford Concentrate ST, Volkswagen Golf GTI, SEAT Leon Cupra and Renault Megane Renaultsport. Honda is now taking deposits of £3,000 for the fresh car, with very first deliveries set for spring of next year.
Volvo XC90
In latest years, Volvo has been a pioneer of car safety technology, and the two thousand fifteen Volvo XC90 is set to showcase its latest injury prevention systems, such as a device that prevents collisions with oncoming traffic. The fresh XC90 will also feature a range of fresh engines (including an innovative and amazingly efficient “Twin Engine” hybrid), along with a chassis and design language that will feature on every fresh Volvo model for the foreseeable future. The car is set to go on sale in early 2015.
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is one of the company’s best selling models, so it’s of no real surprise that the fresh one, due early next year, isn’t expected to be radically different from the car it substitutes. However, there are still some interesting fresh developments for the two thousand fifteen Audi A4, such as weight reduction technologies to improve efficiency and treating compared to the current car. Two clever hybrid engines will be available too. Add a top notch interior and the desirable Audi badge to the mix, and the fresh A4 looks very likely to proceed the model’s popularity.
Jaguar XE
The upcoming Jaguar XE is one of the most significant cars the company has ever made. The mall saloon is going head-to-head in two thousand fifteen with the BMW three Series and Mercedes C-Class, with a fresh range of ultra-efficient engines, and rail and treating that’s claimed to be best in class. Fundamental to its success will be an all-new lightweight aluminium chassis. More information on the XE – including pricing details and an exact release date – is available in our Jaguar XE story here.
Vauxhall Astra
Remarkably, given that today’s Vauxhall Astra is one of the UK’s best selling cars, Vauxhall has a big overhaul in store for the fresh version due next year. A more striking design will be a radical departure from the current car’s styling, while enlargened length will result in improved practicality. Also expected is a fresh range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, along with Vauxhall’s latest ‘IntelliLink’ infotainment software. Little else is known at the moment, tho’ more will of course be exposed as the launch of the two thousand fifteen Vauxhall Astra approaches.

Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX tightly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a fine range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.

Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015. Vauxhall is expected to unveil the fresh Viva at next year’s Geneva Motor Demonstrate in March.
Skoda Superb
The current Skoda Superb indeed does live up to its name – very few rivals can match it for build quality, convenience and practicality, and even fewer at the Superb’s price. However, it beginning to feel a little date, so it’s good to hear Skoda is working on an all-new version. Best of all, the two thousand fifteen Skoda Superb is said to be slightly longer than the current car, which should help it to retain its status as one of the most spacious cars in its class. Prices and specifications aren’t known yet, tho’ we should find out when the fresh Skoda Superb is exposed in mid-2015.

Fresh cars 2015: next year’s most significant cars
As two thousand fourteen draws to a close, we now have a very good idea of what will be the fattest fresh cars in 2015.
We had a preview of what’s to come next year at the Paris Motor Display back in October, which demonstrated that we’re in for fairly a treat, with significant fresh models expected from Jaguar, Land Rover and Vauxhall.
Of course, it’s not just the British manufacturers that will be releasing fresh cars. The Volvo XC90 SUV will hit UK roads, as will the fresh Mazda MX-5 and the long-awaited Honda Civic Type R. Audi could also confirm production of the five-door Audi TT Sportback, which would be very big news in 2015.
Scroll down to read more about the fresh cars set to grab all the headlines next year.
Audi TT Sportback
While cars such as the Jaguar XE and Land Rover Discovery Sport have been known about for months, the five-door Audi TT Sportback came as something of a surprise when it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Showcase. As you’d expect from a TT, the Sportback has striking looks courtesy of a trapezoid-shaped grille, a strong shoulder line and low roofline. Pillarless doors are common on coupes, making the entire car look sleeker. The extra doors add a entire fresh level of practicality to the TT, tho’ the car on display in the French capital was stringently a four-seater. Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system should also be available and you can expect the fresh car to share petrol and diesel engines with the TT coupe. Audi has not officially confirmed that the car will be put into production but it looks likely, and that would make the TT Sportback one of the fattest launches of 2015.
Honda Civic Type R
Honda has built slew of rapid hatchbacks in the past, and the two thousand fifteen Honda Civic Type R is set to become the most extreme hot hatch the rock hard has ever made. Featuring a turbocharged engine with 276bhp, an extreme ‘racing car for the road’ setup and technical know-how acquired from Honda’s many motorsports programmes, the fresh Honda Civic Type R has all the makings of a stellar hot hatch to rival the Ford Concentrate ST, Volkswagen Golf GTI, SEAT Leon Cupra and Renault Megane Renaultsport. Honda is now taking deposits of £3,000 for the fresh car, with very first deliveries set for spring of next year.
Volvo XC90
In latest years, Volvo has been a pioneer of car safety technology, and the two thousand fifteen Volvo XC90 is set to showcase its latest injury prevention systems, such as a device that prevents collisions with oncoming traffic. The fresh XC90 will also feature a range of fresh engines (including an innovative and exceptionally efficient “Twin Engine” hybrid), along with a chassis and design language that will feature on every fresh Volvo model for the foreseeable future. The car is set to go on sale in early 2015.
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is one of the company’s best selling models, so it’s of no real surprise that the fresh one, due early next year, isn’t expected to be radically different from the car it substitutes. However, there are still some interesting fresh developments for the two thousand fifteen Audi A4, such as weight reduction technologies to improve efficiency and treating compared to the current car. Two clever hybrid engines will be available too. Add a top notch interior and the desirable Audi badge to the mix, and the fresh A4 looks very likely to proceed the model’s popularity.
Jaguar XE
The upcoming Jaguar XE is one of the most significant cars the company has ever made. The mall saloon is going head-to-head in two thousand fifteen with the BMW three Series and Mercedes C-Class, with a fresh range of ultra-efficient engines, and rail and treating that’s claimed to be best in class. Fundamental to its success will be an all-new lightweight aluminium chassis. More information on the XE – including pricing details and an exact release date – is available in our Jaguar XE story here.
Vauxhall Astra
Remarkably, given that today’s Vauxhall Astra is one of the UK’s best selling cars, Vauxhall has a big overhaul in store for the fresh version due next year. A more striking design will be a radical departure from the current car’s styling, while enlargened length will result in improved practicality. Also expected is a fresh range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, along with Vauxhall’s latest ‘IntelliLink’ infotainment software. Little else is known at the moment, however more will of course be exposed as the launch of the two thousand fifteen Vauxhall Astra approaches.
Mazda MX-5
We’re big fans of the Mazda MX-5, and – with over 900,000 versions sold since the model was introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine – it seems a lot of you are too. As a result, expectations for the all-new version are high, but signs so far are promising. Not only will the upcoming two thousand fifteen Mazda MX-5 feature the firm’s latest range of powerful-yet-efficient petrol engines, but it’s expected to weigh around 100kg less than the current car, making it even more joy to drive. The fresh Mazda MX-5 will be exposed in September later this year, before going on sale some time in 2015.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The overhauling of the Range Rover family has been a large success, and now Land Rover is planning on doing the same for the Land Rover Discovery lineup. The very first model in this fresh family of cars will be the Land Rover Discovery Sport, an SUV that will substitute the Freelander. Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX rigidly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a fine range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.
Ford Edge
However next year’s launch of the fresh Ford Mustang is undoubtedly big news, the Ford Edge that’s coming in early two thousand fifteen is one to pay close attention to. While we’ll let you make your mind up about the car’s design, the incoming SUV does have the potential to be a big success. The Ford Edge is claimed to suggest more interior space than its chief rivals, and will feature some of the firm’s latest safety technology. Highlights include inflatable rear seatbelts, updated voice activation software and a system that alters how much steering wheel input is needed at low and high speeds.
Vauxhall Viva
The Vauxhall Viva might be a name synonymous with a puny saloon from the 1960s and 70s, but Vauxhall is set to bring it back next year on a Volkswagen up! and Hyundai i10-rivalling city car. Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015.

The extra doors add a entire fresh level of practicality to the TT, tho’ the car on display in the French capital was stringently a four-seater. Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system should also be available and you can expect the fresh car to share petrol and diesel engines with the TT coupe. Audi has not officially confirmed that the car will be put into production but it looks likely, and that would make the TT Sportback one of the largest launches of 2015.
Honda Civic Type R
Honda has built slew of quick hatchbacks in the past, and the two thousand fifteen Honda Civic Type R is set to become the most extreme hot hatch the stiff has ever made. Featuring a turbocharged engine with 276bhp, an extreme ‘racing car for the road’ setup and technical know-how acquired from Honda’s many motorsports programmes, the fresh Honda Civic Type R has all the makings of a stellar hot hatch to rival the Ford Concentrate ST, Volkswagen Golf GTI, SEAT Leon Cupra and Renault Megane Renaultsport. Honda is now taking deposits of £3,000 for the fresh car, with very first deliveries set for spring of next year.
Volvo XC90
In latest years, Volvo has been a pioneer of car safety technology, and the two thousand fifteen Volvo XC90 is set to showcase its latest injury prevention systems, such as a device that prevents collisions with oncoming traffic. The fresh XC90 will also feature a range of fresh engines (including an innovative and exceptionally efficient “Twin Engine” hybrid), along with a chassis and design language that will feature on every fresh Volvo model for the foreseeable future. The car is set to go on sale in early 2015.
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is one of the company’s best selling models, so it’s of no real surprise that the fresh one, due early next year, isn’t expected to be radically different from the car it substitutes. However, there are still some interesting fresh developments for the two thousand fifteen Audi A4, such as weight reduction technics to improve efficiency and treating compared to the current car. Two clever hybrid engines will be available too. Add a top notch interior and the desirable Audi badge to the mix, and the fresh A4 looks very likely to proceed the model’s popularity.
Jaguar XE
The upcoming Jaguar XE is one of the most significant cars the company has ever made. The mall saloon is going head-to-head in two thousand fifteen with the BMW three Series and Mercedes C-Class, with a fresh range of ultra-efficient engines, and rail and treating that’s claimed to be best in class. Fundamental to its success will be an all-new lightweight aluminium chassis. More information on the XE – including pricing details and an exact release date – is available in our Jaguar XE story here.
Vauxhall Astra
Remarkably, given that today’s Vauxhall Astra is one of the UK’s best selling cars, Vauxhall has a big overhaul in store for the fresh version due next year. A more striking design will be a radical departure from the current car’s styling, while enhanced length will result in improved practicality. Also expected is a fresh range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, along with Vauxhall’s latest ‘IntelliLink’ infotainment software. Little else is known at the moment, however more will of course be exposed as the launch of the two thousand fifteen Vauxhall Astra approaches.
Mazda MX-5
We’re big fans of the Mazda MX-5, and – with over 900,000 versions sold since the model was introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine – it seems a lot of you are too. As a result, expectations for the all-new version are high, but signs so far are promising. Not only will the upcoming two thousand fifteen Mazda MX-5 feature the firm’s latest range of powerful-yet-efficient petrol engines, but it’s expected to weigh around 100kg less than the current car, making it even more joy to drive. The fresh Mazda MX-5 will be exposed in September later this year, before going on sale some time in 2015.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The overhauling of the Range Rover family has been a big success, and now Land Rover is planning on doing the same for the Land Rover Discovery lineup. The very first model in this fresh family of cars will be the Land Rover Discovery Sport, an SUV that will substitute the Freelander. Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX rigidly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a superb range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.
Ford Edge
However next year’s launch of the fresh Ford Mustang is undoubtedly big news, the Ford Edge that’s coming in early two thousand fifteen is one to pay close attention to. While we’ll let you make your mind up about the car’s design, the incoming SUV does have the potential to be a big success. The Ford Edge is claimed to suggest more interior space than its chief rivals, and will feature some of the firm’s latest safety technology. Highlights include inflatable rear seatbelts, updated voice activation software and a system that alters how much steering wheel input is needed at low and high speeds.
Vauxhall Viva
The Vauxhall Viva might be a name synonymous with a petite saloon from the 1960s and 70s, but Vauxhall is set to bring it back next year on a Volkswagen up! and Hyundai i10-rivalling city car. Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015. Vauxhall is expected to unveil the fresh Viva at next year’s Geneva Motor Demonstrate in March.
Skoda Superb
The current Skoda Superb indeed does live up to its name – very few rivals can match it for build quality, convenience and practicality, and even fewer at the Superb’s price. However, it embarking to feel a little date, so it’s good to hear Skoda is working on an all-new version. Best of all, the two thousand fifteen Skoda Superb is said to be slightly longer than the current car, which should help it to retain its status as one of the most spacious cars in its class. Prices and specifications aren’t known yet, however we should find out when the fresh Skoda Superb is exposed in mid-2015.

The mall saloon is going head-to-head in two thousand fifteen with the BMW three Series and Mercedes C-Class, with a fresh range of ultra-efficient engines, and rail and treating that’s claimed to be best in class. Fundamental to its success will be an all-new lightweight aluminium chassis. More information on the XE – including pricing details and an exact release date – is available in our Jaguar XE story here.
Vauxhall Astra
Remarkably, given that today’s Vauxhall Astra is one of the UK’s best selling cars, Vauxhall has a big overhaul in store for the fresh version due next year. A more striking design will be a radical departure from the current car’s styling, while enlargened length will result in improved practicality. Also expected is a fresh range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, along with Vauxhall’s latest ‘IntelliLink’ infotainment software. Little else is known at the moment, tho’ more will of course be exposed as the launch of the two thousand fifteen Vauxhall Astra approaches.
Mazda MX-5
We’re big fans of the Mazda MX-5, and – with over 900,000 versions sold since the model was introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine – it seems a lot of you are too. As a result, expectations for the all-new version are high, but signs so far are promising. Not only will the upcoming two thousand fifteen Mazda MX-5 feature the firm’s latest range of powerful-yet-efficient petrol engines, but it’s expected to weigh around 100kg less than the current car, making it even more joy to drive. The fresh Mazda MX-5 will be exposed in September later this year, before going on sale some time in 2015.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The overhauling of the Range Rover family has been a phat success, and now Land Rover is planning on doing the same for the Land Rover Discovery lineup. The very first model in this fresh family of cars will be the Land Rover Discovery Sport, an SUV that will substitute the Freelander. Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX stiffly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a fine range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.
Ford Edge
Tho’ next year’s launch of the fresh Ford Mustang is undoubtedly big news, the Ford Edge that’s coming in early two thousand fifteen is one to pay close attention to. While we’ll let you make your mind up about the car’s design, the incoming SUV does have the potential to be a big success. The Ford Edge is claimed to suggest more interior space than its chief rivals, and will feature some of the firm’s latest safety technology. Highlights include inflatable rear seatbelts, updated voice activation software and a system that alters how much steering wheel input is needed at low and high speeds.
Vauxhall Viva
The Vauxhall Viva might be a name synonymous with a petite saloon from the 1960s and 70s, but Vauxhall is set to bring it back next year on a Volkswagen up! and Hyundai i10-rivalling city car. Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015. Vauxhall is expected to unveil the fresh Viva at next year’s Geneva Motor Display in March.
Skoda Superb
The current Skoda Superb truly does live up to its name – very few rivals can match it for build quality, convenience and practicality, and even fewer at the Superb’s price. However, it beginning to feel a little date, so it’s good to hear Skoda is working on an all-new version. Best of all, the two thousand fifteen Skoda Superb is said to be slightly longer than the current car, which should help it to retain its status as one of the most spacious cars in its class. Prices and specifications aren’t known yet, tho’ we should find out when the fresh Skoda Superb is exposed in mid-2015.

Fresh cars 2015: next year’s most significant cars
As two thousand fourteen draws to a close, we now have a very good idea of what will be the fattest fresh cars in 2015.
We had a preview of what’s to come next year at the Paris Motor Demonstrate back in October, which showcased that we’re in for fairly a treat, with significant fresh models expected from Jaguar, Land Rover and Vauxhall.
Of course, it’s not just the British manufacturers that will be releasing fresh cars. The Volvo XC90 SUV will hit UK roads, as will the fresh Mazda MX-5 and the long-awaited Honda Civic Type R. Audi could also confirm production of the five-door Audi TT Sportback, which would be very big news in 2015.
Scroll down to read more about the fresh cars set to grab all the headlines next year.
Audi TT Sportback
While cars such as the Jaguar XE and Land Rover Discovery Sport have been known about for months, the five-door Audi TT Sportback came as something of a surprise when it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Demonstrate. As you’d expect from a TT, the Sportback has striking looks courtesy of a trapezoid-shaped grille, a strong shoulder line and low roofline. Pillarless doors are common on coupes, making the entire car look sleeker. The extra doors add a entire fresh level of practicality to the TT, tho’ the car on display in the French capital was stringently a four-seater. Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system should also be available and you can expect the fresh car to share petrol and diesel engines with the TT coupe. Audi has not officially confirmed that the car will be put into production but it looks likely, and that would make the TT Sportback one of the largest launches of 2015.
Honda Civic Type R
Honda has built slew of quick hatchbacks in the past, and the two thousand fifteen Honda Civic Type R is set to become the most extreme hot hatch the rock hard has ever made. Featuring a turbocharged engine with 276bhp, an extreme ‘racing car for the road’ setup and technical know-how acquired from Honda’s many motorsports programmes, the fresh Honda Civic Type R has all the makings of a stellar hot hatch to rival the Ford Concentrate ST, Volkswagen Golf GTI, SEAT Leon Cupra and Renault Megane Renaultsport. Honda is now taking deposits of £3,000 for the fresh car, with very first deliveries set for spring of next year.
Volvo XC90
In latest years, Volvo has been a pioneer of car safety technology, and the two thousand fifteen Volvo XC90 is set to showcase its latest injury prevention systems, such as a device that prevents collisions with oncoming traffic. The fresh XC90 will also feature a range of fresh engines (including an innovative and amazingly efficient “Twin Engine” hybrid), along with a chassis and design language that will feature on every fresh Volvo model for the foreseeable future. The car is set to go on sale in early 2015.
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is one of the company’s best selling models, so it’s of no real surprise that the fresh one, due early next year, isn’t expected to be radically different from the car it substitutes. However, there are still some interesting fresh developments for the two thousand fifteen Audi A4, such as weight reduction mechanisms to improve efficiency and treating compared to the current car. Two clever hybrid engines will be available too. Add a top notch interior and the desirable Audi badge to the mix, and the fresh A4 looks very likely to proceed the model’s popularity.
Jaguar XE
The upcoming Jaguar XE is one of the most significant cars the company has ever made. The mall saloon is going head-to-head in two thousand fifteen with the BMW three Series and Mercedes C-Class, with a fresh range of ultra-efficient engines, and rail and treating that’s claimed to be best in class.

Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX rigidly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a excellent range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.

Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a superb range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.
Ford Edge
Tho’ next year’s launch of the fresh Ford Mustang is undoubtedly big news, the Ford Edge that’s coming in early two thousand fifteen is one to pay close attention to. While we’ll let you make your mind up about the car’s design, the incoming SUV does have the potential to be a big success. The Ford Edge is claimed to suggest more interior space than its chief rivals, and will feature some of the firm’s latest safety technology. Highlights include inflatable rear seatbelts, updated voice activation software and a system that alters how much steering wheel input is needed at low and high speeds.
Vauxhall Viva
The Vauxhall Viva might be a name synonymous with a petite saloon from the 1960s and 70s, but Vauxhall is set to bring it back next year on a Volkswagen up! and Hyundai i10-rivalling city car. Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015. Vauxhall is expected to unveil the fresh Viva at next year’s Geneva Motor Display in March.
Skoda Superb
The current Skoda Superb indeed does live up to its name – very few rivals can match it for build quality, convenience and practicality, and even fewer at the Superb’s price. However, it kicking off to feel a little date, so it’s good to hear Skoda is working on an all-new version. Best of all, the two thousand fifteen Skoda Superb is said to be slightly longer than the current car, which should help it to retain its status as one of the most spacious cars in its class. Prices and specifications aren’t known yet, however we should find out when the fresh Skoda Superb is exposed in mid-2015.

Fresh cars 2015: next year’s most significant cars
As two thousand fourteen draws to a close, we now have a very good idea of what will be the largest fresh cars in 2015.
We had a preview of what’s to come next year at the Paris Motor Demonstrate back in October, which demonstrated that we’re in for fairly a treat, with significant fresh models expected from Jaguar, Land Rover and Vauxhall.
Of course, it’s not just the British manufacturers that will be releasing fresh cars. The Volvo XC90 SUV will hit UK roads, as will the fresh Mazda MX-5 and the long-awaited Honda Civic Type R. Audi could also confirm production of the five-door Audi TT Sportback, which would be very big news in 2015.
Scroll down to read more about the fresh cars set to grab all the headlines next year.
Audi TT Sportback
While cars such as the Jaguar XE and Land Rover Discovery Sport have been known about for months, the five-door Audi TT Sportback came as something of a surprise when it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Demonstrate. As you’d expect from a TT, the Sportback has striking looks courtesy of a trapezoid-shaped grille, a strong shoulder line and low roofline. Pillarless doors are common on coupes, making the entire car look sleeker. The extra doors add a entire fresh level of practicality to the TT, however the car on display in the French capital was rigorously a four-seater. Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system should also be available and you can expect the fresh car to share petrol and diesel engines with the TT coupe. Audi has not officially confirmed that the car will be put into production but it looks likely, and that would make the TT Sportback one of the thickest launches of 2015.
Honda Civic Type R
Honda has built slew of prompt hatchbacks in the past, and the two thousand fifteen Honda Civic Type R is set to become the most extreme hot hatch the rock hard has ever made. Featuring a turbocharged engine with 276bhp, an extreme ‘racing car for the road’ setup and technical know-how acquired from Honda’s many motorsports programmes, the fresh Honda Civic Type R has all the makings of a stellar hot hatch to rival the Ford Concentrate ST, Volkswagen Golf GTI, SEAT Leon Cupra and Renault Megane Renaultsport. Honda is now taking deposits of £3,000 for the fresh car, with very first deliveries set for spring of next year.
Volvo XC90
In latest years, Volvo has been a pioneer of car safety technology, and the two thousand fifteen Volvo XC90 is set to showcase its latest injury prevention systems, such as a device that prevents collisions with oncoming traffic. The fresh XC90 will also feature a range of fresh engines (including an innovative and amazingly efficient “Twin Engine” hybrid), along with a chassis and design language that will feature on every fresh Volvo model for the foreseeable future. The car is set to go on sale in early 2015.
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is one of the company’s best selling models, so it’s of no real surprise that the fresh one, due early next year, isn’t expected to be radically different from the car it substitutes. However, there are still some interesting fresh developments for the two thousand fifteen Audi A4, such as weight reduction mechanisms to improve efficiency and treating compared to the current car. Two clever hybrid engines will be available too. Add a top notch interior and the desirable Audi badge to the mix, and the fresh A4 looks very likely to proceed the model’s popularity.
Jaguar XE
The upcoming Jaguar XE is one of the most significant cars the company has ever made. The mall saloon is going head-to-head in two thousand fifteen with the BMW three Series and Mercedes C-Class, with a fresh range of ultra-efficient engines, and rail and treating that’s claimed to be best in class. Fundamental to its success will be an all-new lightweight aluminium chassis. More information on the XE – including pricing details and an exact release date – is available in our Jaguar XE story here.
Vauxhall Astra
Remarkably, given that today’s Vauxhall Astra is one of the UK’s best selling cars, Vauxhall has a big overhaul in store for the fresh version due next year. A more striking design will be a radical departure from the current car’s styling, while enhanced length will result in improved practicality. Also expected is a fresh range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, along with Vauxhall’s latest ‘IntelliLink’ infotainment software. Little else is known at the moment, however more will of course be exposed as the launch of the two thousand fifteen Vauxhall Astra approaches.
Mazda MX-5
We’re big fans of the Mazda MX-5, and – with over 900,000 versions sold since the model was introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine – it seems a lot of you are too. As a result, expectations for the all-new version are high, but signs so far are promising. Not only will the upcoming two thousand fifteen Mazda MX-5 feature the firm’s latest range of powerful-yet-efficient petrol engines, but it’s expected to weigh around 100kg less than the current car, making it even more joy to drive. The fresh Mazda MX-5 will be exposed in September later this year, before going on sale some time in 2015.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The overhauling of the Range Rover family has been a hefty success, and now Land Rover is planning on doing the same for the Land Rover Discovery lineup. The very first model in this fresh family of cars will be the Land Rover Discovery Sport, an SUV that will substitute the Freelander. Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX stiffly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a excellent range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.

We had a preview of what’s to come next year at the Paris Motor Demonstrate back in October, which displayed that we’re in for fairly a treat, with significant fresh models expected from Jaguar, Land Rover and Vauxhall.
Of course, it’s not just the British manufacturers that will be releasing fresh cars. The Volvo XC90 SUV will hit UK roads, as will the fresh Mazda MX-5 and the long-awaited Honda Civic Type R. Audi could also confirm production of the five-door Audi TT Sportback, which would be very big news in 2015.
Scroll down to read more about the fresh cars set to grab all the headlines next year.
Audi TT Sportback
While cars such as the Jaguar XE and Land Rover Discovery Sport have been known about for months, the five-door Audi TT Sportback came as something of a surprise when it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Display. As you’d expect from a TT, the Sportback has striking looks courtesy of a trapezoid-shaped grille, a strong shoulder line and low roofline. Pillarless doors are common on coupes, making the entire car look sleeker. The extra doors add a entire fresh level of practicality to the TT, however the car on display in the French capital was rigorously a four-seater. Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system should also be available and you can expect the fresh car to share petrol and diesel engines with the TT coupe. Audi has not officially confirmed that the car will be put into production but it looks likely, and that would make the TT Sportback one of the thickest launches of 2015.
Honda Civic Type R
Honda has built slew of quick hatchbacks in the past, and the two thousand fifteen Honda Civic Type R is set to become the most extreme hot hatch the stiff has ever made. Featuring a turbocharged engine with 276bhp, an extreme ‘racing car for the road’ setup and technical know-how acquired from Honda’s many motorsports programmes, the fresh Honda Civic Type R has all the makings of a stellar hot hatch to rival the Ford Concentrate ST, Volkswagen Golf GTI, SEAT Leon Cupra and Renault Megane Renaultsport. Honda is now taking deposits of £3,000 for the fresh car, with very first deliveries set for spring of next year.
Volvo XC90
In latest years, Volvo has been a pioneer of car safety technology, and the two thousand fifteen Volvo XC90 is set to showcase its latest injury prevention systems, such as a device that prevents collisions with oncoming traffic. The fresh XC90 will also feature a range of fresh engines (including an innovative and amazingly efficient “Twin Engine” hybrid), along with a chassis and design language that will feature on every fresh Volvo model for the foreseeable future. The car is set to go on sale in early 2015.
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is one of the company’s best selling models, so it’s of no real surprise that the fresh one, due early next year, isn’t expected to be radically different from the car it substitutes. However, there are still some interesting fresh developments for the two thousand fifteen Audi A4, such as weight reduction technics to improve efficiency and treating compared to the current car. Two clever hybrid engines will be available too. Add a top notch interior and the desirable Audi badge to the mix, and the fresh A4 looks very likely to proceed the model’s popularity.
Jaguar XE
The upcoming Jaguar XE is one of the most significant cars the company has ever made. The mall saloon is going head-to-head in two thousand fifteen with the BMW three Series and Mercedes C-Class, with a fresh range of ultra-efficient engines, and rail and treating that’s claimed to be best in class. Fundamental to its success will be an all-new lightweight aluminium chassis. More information on the XE – including pricing details and an exact release date – is available in our Jaguar XE story here.
Vauxhall Astra
Remarkably, given that today’s Vauxhall Astra is one of the UK’s best selling cars, Vauxhall has a big overhaul in store for the fresh version due next year. A more striking design will be a radical departure from the current car’s styling, while enhanced length will result in improved practicality. Also expected is a fresh range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, along with Vauxhall’s latest ‘IntelliLink’ infotainment software. Little else is known at the moment, however more will of course be exposed as the launch of the two thousand fifteen Vauxhall Astra approaches.
Mazda MX-5
We’re big fans of the Mazda MX-5, and – with over 900,000 versions sold since the model was introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine – it seems a lot of you are too. As a result, expectations for the all-new version are high, but signs so far are promising. Not only will the upcoming two thousand fifteen Mazda MX-5 feature the firm’s latest range of powerful-yet-efficient petrol engines, but it’s expected to weigh around 100kg less than the current car, making it even more joy to drive. The fresh Mazda MX-5 will be exposed in September later this year, before going on sale some time in 2015.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The overhauling of the Range Rover family has been a thick success, and now Land Rover is planning on doing the same for the Land Rover Discovery lineup. The very first model in this fresh family of cars will be the Land Rover Discovery Sport, an SUV that will substitute the Freelander. Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX stiffly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a excellent range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.
Ford Edge
However next year’s launch of the fresh Ford Mustang is undoubtedly big news, the Ford Edge that’s coming in early two thousand fifteen is one to pay close attention to. While we’ll let you make your mind up about the car’s design, the incoming SUV does have the potential to be a big success. The Ford Edge is claimed to suggest more interior space than its chief rivals, and will feature some of the firm’s latest safety technology. Highlights include inflatable rear seatbelts, updated voice activation software and a system that alters how much steering wheel input is needed at low and high speeds.
Vauxhall Viva
The Vauxhall Viva might be a name synonymous with a puny saloon from the 1960s and 70s, but Vauxhall is set to bring it back next year on a Volkswagen up! and Hyundai i10-rivalling city car. Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015. Vauxhall is expected to unveil the fresh Viva at next year’s Geneva Motor Demonstrate in March.
Skoda Superb
The current Skoda Superb indeed does live up to its name – very few rivals can match it for build quality, convenience and practicality, and even fewer at the Superb’s price. However, it beginning to feel a little date, so it’s good to hear Skoda is working on an all-new version. Best of all, the two thousand fifteen Skoda Superb is said to be slightly longer than the current car, which should help it to retain its status as one of the most spacious cars in its class. Prices and specifications aren’t known yet, however we should find out when the fresh Skoda Superb is exposed in mid-2015.

Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX rigidly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula.

The fresh XC90 will also feature a range of fresh engines (including an innovative and amazingly efficient “Twin Engine” hybrid), along with a chassis and design language that will feature on every fresh Volvo model for the foreseeable future. The car is set to go on sale in early 2015.
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is one of the company’s best selling models, so it’s of no real surprise that the fresh one, due early next year, isn’t expected to be radically different from the car it substitutes. However, there are still some interesting fresh developments for the two thousand fifteen Audi A4, such as weight reduction technologies to improve efficiency and treating compared to the current car. Two clever hybrid engines will be available too. Add a top notch interior and the desirable Audi badge to the mix, and the fresh A4 looks very likely to proceed the model’s popularity.
Jaguar XE
The upcoming Jaguar XE is one of the most significant cars the company has ever made. The mall saloon is going head-to-head in two thousand fifteen with the BMW three Series and Mercedes C-Class, with a fresh range of ultra-efficient engines, and rail and treating that’s claimed to be best in class. Fundamental to its success will be an all-new lightweight aluminium chassis. More information on the XE – including pricing details and an exact release date – is available in our Jaguar XE story here.
Vauxhall Astra
Remarkably, given that today’s Vauxhall Astra is one of the UK’s best selling cars, Vauxhall has a big overhaul in store for the fresh version due next year. A more striking design will be a radical departure from the current car’s styling, while enlargened length will result in improved practicality. Also expected is a fresh range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, along with Vauxhall’s latest ‘IntelliLink’ infotainment software. Little else is known at the moment, however more will of course be exposed as the launch of the two thousand fifteen Vauxhall Astra approaches.
Mazda MX-5
We’re big fans of the Mazda MX-5, and – with over 900,000 versions sold since the model was introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine – it seems a lot of you are too. As a result, expectations for the all-new version are high, but signs so far are promising. Not only will the upcoming two thousand fifteen Mazda MX-5 feature the firm’s latest range of powerful-yet-efficient petrol engines, but it’s expected to weigh around 100kg less than the current car, making it even more joy to drive. The fresh Mazda MX-5 will be exposed in September later this year, before going on sale some time in 2015.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The overhauling of the Range Rover family has been a giant success, and now Land Rover is planning on doing the same for the Land Rover Discovery lineup. The very first model in this fresh family of cars will be the Land Rover Discovery Sport, an SUV that will substitute the Freelander. Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX rigidly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a excellent range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.
Ford Edge
However next year’s launch of the fresh Ford Mustang is undoubtedly big news, the Ford Edge that’s coming in early two thousand fifteen is one to pay close attention to. While we’ll let you make your mind up about the car’s design, the incoming SUV does have the potential to be a big success. The Ford Edge is claimed to suggest more interior space than its chief rivals, and will feature some of the firm’s latest safety technology. Highlights include inflatable rear seatbelts, updated voice activation software and a system that alters how much steering wheel input is needed at low and high speeds.
Vauxhall Viva
The Vauxhall Viva might be a name synonymous with a puny saloon from the 1960s and 70s, but Vauxhall is set to bring it back next year on a Volkswagen up! and Hyundai i10-rivalling city car. Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015. Vauxhall is expected to unveil the fresh Viva at next year’s Geneva Motor Showcase in March.
Skoda Superb
The current Skoda Superb indeed does live up to its name – very few rivals can match it for build quality, convenience and practicality, and even fewer at the Superb’s price. However, it embarking to feel a little date, so it’s good to hear Skoda is working on an all-new version. Best of all, the two thousand fifteen Skoda Superb is said to be slightly longer than the current car, which should help it to retain its status as one of the most spacious cars in its class. Prices and specifications aren’t known yet, however we should find out when the fresh Skoda Superb is exposed in mid-2015.

Fresh cars 2015: next year’s most significant cars
As two thousand fourteen draws to a close, we now have a very good idea of what will be the fattest fresh cars in 2015.
We had a preview of what’s to come next year at the Paris Motor Demonstrate back in October, which demonstrated that we’re in for fairly a treat, with significant fresh models expected from Jaguar, Land Rover and Vauxhall.
Of course, it’s not just the British manufacturers that will be releasing fresh cars. The Volvo XC90 SUV will hit UK roads, as will the fresh Mazda MX-5 and the long-awaited Honda Civic Type R. Audi could also confirm production of the five-door Audi TT Sportback, which would be very big news in 2015.
Scroll down to read more about the fresh cars set to grab all the headlines next year.
Audi TT Sportback
While cars such as the Jaguar XE and Land Rover Discovery Sport have been known about for months, the five-door Audi TT Sportback came as something of a surprise when it was unveiled at the Paris Motor Display. As you’d expect from a TT, the Sportback has striking looks courtesy of a trapezoid-shaped grille, a strong shoulder line and low roofline. Pillarless doors are common on coupes, making the entire car look sleeker. The extra doors add a entire fresh level of practicality to the TT, tho’ the car on display in the French capital was stringently a four-seater. Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive system should also be available and you can expect the fresh car to share petrol and diesel engines with the TT coupe. Audi has not officially confirmed that the car will be put into production but it looks likely, and that would make the TT Sportback one of the fattest launches of 2015.
Honda Civic Type R
Honda has built slew of prompt hatchbacks in the past, and the two thousand fifteen Honda Civic Type R is set to become the most extreme hot hatch the hard has ever made. Featuring a turbocharged engine with 276bhp, an extreme ‘racing car for the road’ setup and technical know-how acquired from Honda’s many motorsports programmes, the fresh Honda Civic Type R has all the makings of a stellar hot hatch to rival the Ford Concentrate ST, Volkswagen Golf GTI, SEAT Leon Cupra and Renault Megane Renaultsport. Honda is now taking deposits of £3,000 for the fresh car, with very first deliveries set for spring of next year.

With the current Ford S-MAX stiffly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a fine range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX.

Not only will the upcoming two thousand fifteen Mazda MX-5 feature the firm’s latest range of powerful-yet-efficient petrol engines, but it’s expected to weigh around 100kg less than the current car, making it even more joy to drive. The fresh Mazda MX-5 will be exposed in September later this year, before going on sale some time in 2015.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
The overhauling of the Range Rover family has been a ample success, and now Land Rover is planning on doing the same for the Land Rover Discovery lineup. The very first model in this fresh family of cars will be the Land Rover Discovery Sport, an SUV that will substitute the Freelander. Next year’s Discovery Sport will feature the firm’s fabled Terrain Response off-road driving system, and – unlike the Freelander two – will be available with seven seats as standard.
Ford S-MAX
With the current Ford S-MAX tightly established as one of the UK’s most popular people carriers, the fresh version due next year won’t stray too far from its proven formula. Expect slew of space, competitive pricing, a good range of petrol and diesel engines and a potentially class-leading rail/treating combo from the two thousand fourteen Ford S-MAX. The distinctive styling and well-appointed interior on Ford’s S-MAX Concept from two thousand thirteen also gives us an idea of what to anticipate from the production car when it arrives in early 2015.
Ford Edge
However next year’s launch of the fresh Ford Mustang is undoubtedly big news, the Ford Edge that’s coming in early two thousand fifteen is one to pay close attention to. While we’ll let you make your mind up about the car’s design, the incoming SUV does have the potential to be a big success. The Ford Edge is claimed to suggest more interior space than its chief rivals, and will feature some of the firm’s latest safety technology. Highlights include inflatable rear seatbelts, updated voice activation software and a system that alters how much steering wheel input is needed at low and high speeds.
Vauxhall Viva
The Vauxhall Viva might be a name synonymous with a petite saloon from the 1960s and 70s, but Vauxhall is set to bring it back next year on a Volkswagen up! and Hyundai i10-rivalling city car. Little else is known at the moment, other than it will be based on the next Chevrolet Spark (a car that won’t be coming to the UK) and will go on sale towards the end of 2015. Vauxhall is expected to unveil the fresh Viva at next year’s Geneva Motor Showcase in March.
Skoda Superb
The current Skoda Superb indeed does live up to its name – very few rivals can match it for build quality, convenience and practicality, and even fewer at the Superb’s price. However, it commencing to feel a little date, so it’s good to hear Skoda is working on an all-new version. Best of all, the two thousand fifteen Skoda Superb is said to be slightly longer than the current car, which should help it to retain its status as one of the most spacious cars in its class. Prices and specifications aren’t known yet, however we should find out when the fresh Skoda Superb is exposed in mid-2015.
