2018 Volvo XC60:
The redesigned Volvo XC90 kicked off the brand’s renaissance in 2015. Now that the 90-series family (XC90, S90, V90, V90 Cross Country) has been fully fleshed out, Volvo has launched the first of its mid-size 60-series models: the XC60. Like its still-to-come sedan and wagon brethren, the XC60 is built on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform that underpins the well-received 90-series. How closely does the XC60 emulate its elder sibling? Our first drive of Volvo’s smaller SUV—still the brand’s top-selling model at eight years of age—shows it to be very close indeed. Family Resemblance: From the B-pillar forward, the XC60 could be mistaken for the bigger SUV. The upright fascia houses a similar grille, flanked by high-mounted headlights adorned with Volvo’s Thor’s Hammer sideways-T LED light graphic. The transverse-engine XC60 self-consciously sucks in its front overhang, and the hood traces a relatively straight line to the base of the windshield. Gaze rearward, however, and it’s clear this is the junior model. The beltline angles up rather than continuing in a length-enhancing straight line, the rear quarter-windows are smaller, and the liftgate is canted forward more aggressively. Compared with its predecessor, the new XC60’s wheelbase has been stretched 3.6 inches, although at 112.8 inches it’s still 4.7 inches shy of the XC90’s. Overall length is up just 1.8 inches, so the overhangs have been trimmed. The vehicle also is 2.1 inches lower than before and fractionally wider, so the net effect is a sleeker profile and a more planted look…

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…
