After seeing a slew of new Audi models being tested including the Audi A5 Sportback, the new refreshed Audi A5 Cabriolet doesn't come as a surprise. Unlike some of the previously spotted models which were completely camouflaged, the Audi A5 Cabriolet is wearing minimal covers (even lesser than the Audi A5 Sportback) which hints that changes in its design will be very limited compared to other models and majority of them will be in its face.

Nissan has revealed the 2020 Versa sedan ahead of its debut at the 2019 New York Motor Show. In fact, for the Indian market, this is the second generation of the Sunny and the modern design has made it more expressive and of course, it now gets a ton of features too. The new design features lower, wider and longer exterior dimensions while retaining the roomy interior. The Versa aka Sunny now gets Nissan's 'Emotional Geometry' design language. Key elements - such as the V-motion grille, boomerang-shaped headlamps and tail lamps, kick-up C-pillars and floating roof - have been adapted to the new Versa.

The second generation Duster uses a modified version of the Duster's B0 platform. The car that was launched in Europe, meets certain regulations largely seen as Europe-centric, and so not as relevant to India. It would therefore need significant investments to productionise here.

Images of the upcoming Renault Triber MPV have recently surfaced online, and this time around we get to see the prototype model draped in special Triber-branded camouflage.

The soon-to-be-launched MG Hector SUV was recently spotted in India without any camouflage and all its badging intact. The latest images reveal two units of the SUV, and while one, in the maroon shade, appears to the fully-kitted top-spec variant, the other one, in the silver colour, seems to be just a trim below that.

The Hyundai Venue will be the first car to get the dual-clutch automatic transmission in the subcompact SUV segment and no SUV even in a segment above is equipped with one. The Mahindra XUV300 is yet to get an automatic transmission. The Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Tata Nexon, both get an AMT gearbox and the Ford Ecosport is offered with a traditional torque convertor unit. Therefore, DCT being the most refined and quickest of the lot will likely enhance the performance of the Venue which should give it an edge over the competition.

The Jeep Compass Trailhawk has been a long-awaited variant to join the SUV's line-up, and the updated version is finally confirmed to arrive later this year. The new Compass Trailhawk will go on sale in the country in July 2019, carandbike understands. The automaker is yet to confirm a launch date for the new variant, but we do think the launch will coincide alongside the Compass' third anniversary in the country. The Jeep Compass was launched in July 2017 and was a turnaround product for the American automaker, which was still establishing its feet in India at the time. With the Trailhawk version, Jeep India will finally bring the diesel automatic version of the Compass that will also be more equipped to handle the tracks off the tarmac.

Images of the upcoming new-gen Hyundai Grand i10 have recently surfaced online, and this time around we also get a glimpse of the cabin of the upcoming model.
