2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA:
Enthuasists may cringe at the term crossover, but the Mercedes-Benz GLA-class is not the bloated people carrier usually associated with that word. Despite being marketed as an SUV, it’s really more of a sport-oriented hatchback with a slightly increased ride height. And although it has been refreshed for the 2018 model year, its core values remain intact—why change what works? Mercedes-Benz found American driveways for more than 24,000 GLAs in 2016. Updates to the 2018 GLA-class amount to little more than a light freshening. Newly optional LED headlamps flank a restyled grille with crossbars that feature rectangular punctures like those on the larger GLS-class SUV. A revised front bumper with more-prominent fog lamps, revised LED taillights, and new wheel designs round out the exterior tweaks. Inside, an 8.0-inch infotainment screen replaces last year’s 7.0-incher; additional chrome brightwork adorns the door panels and the center console; and new, more legible black-faced gauges replace the 2017’s gray-faced units.

The GLA has never been particularly roomy, and the 2018 model is no different. Front-seat occupants don’t have much to complain about, especially when seated in the Benz’s optional sport seats, but those relegated to the back may feel cramped on longer journeys. Fitting five adults in the GLA makes for an all-too-intimate setting that’s unpleasant even for short trips. The panoramic sunroof fitted to the GLA250 4MATIC we drove robbed precious headroom, too…

2018 BMW X3:
BMW had previously teased the new model in a series of official spy shots, but these fresh pictures show us almost every detail and were published alongside a promotional video and specs on the official BMW Hong Kong site. Overall, the profile of the premium mid-size SUV remains much the same, and we don’t expect the new X3 to swell in size over the current model. The styling is clearly evolutionary too: there’s a more rounded-off look but it appears BMW’s designers haven’t strayed too far from what came before. New lights and a bigger grille are the main changes here.However, the new platform will mean more dramatic changes are expected under the skin. Auto Express understands that the new X3 SUV will use a new lightweight rear-wheel-drive platform to improve fuel economy, performance and handling. Between 50kg and 100kg is likely to be stripped out of the new X3, which could bring the weight of the entry-level model down to around 1,700kg.It’ll be slightly longer, boosting space in the cabin, but up to 100kg lighter than before. The platform also underpins the new 5 Series saloon, plus an all-new 3 Series expected in 2018. The new architecture will mean a slight increase in overall length and a small step up in practicality.Three models were listed among the leaked images: xDrive20d, xDrive30d and M40i. These are models available in Hong Kong, acording to the leaks, but we expect the same X3 versions to arrive in the UK as well. Fuel economy figures are also among the info online: 56.5mpg and 132g/km for the xDrive20d, 49.5mpg and 149g/km for the xDrive30d and 34.4mpg and 188g/km for the M40i. The performance specs for the M40i were also revealed — it gets a 3.0-litre straight-six with 355bhp and 500Nm of torque. Top speed is 155mph and 0-62mph takes 4.8 seconds…
