New car diary for May 2014

Make: Honda

Model: City

Released: May 2014

An update to the Honda’s city-sized City sedan is on the cards before the middle of the year, with the little runabout getting a fresh face ahead of the mechanically related Jazz hatch. Information about the City is limited, but expect it to gain technology and powertrain upgrades over the current model that went on sale in February 2009.

Audi will follow up the launch of its facelifted A8 limo with the S8 performance flagship in May. The quattro all-wheel-drive S8 is powered by a 4.0 TFSI V8 engine with 380kW sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed conventional automatic transmission. Expect pricing somewhere between $250,000 and $300,000.

Make: Volkswagen

Model: Golf - R

Released: May 2014

Volkswagen will launch the hardcore 'R' version of its Golf 7 in the first half of the year, likely to be powered by the same 206kW/380Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine from the Audi S3 that has been de-tuned because of our hot weather. At the same time VW will introduce the Golf GTI Performance which boosts power over the regular GTI by 7kW.

Model: A3 - S3 sedan

Released: May 2014

Following the introduction of a booted version of its A3 in early 2014, Audi will add a hardcore S3 performance variant to the range by the middle of the year. Under the skin, the sedan is much the same as the hatch, with power coming from a 206kW/380Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and a 0-100km/h dash time of five seconds.

Make: Nissan

Model: Pathfinder - Hybrid

Released: May 2014

Nissan’s seven-seat Pathfinder SUV range will be boosted by the arrival of the petrol-electric hybrid powertrain which combines a battery-powered electric motor to a supercharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine. Nissan is hoping the hybrid variant will make up for the lack of diesel powertrain and it will bring fuel consumption down to 7.5 litres per 100km.

Make: Porsche

Model: Macan

Released: May 2014

The arrival of the Porsche Macan will see the German car-maker doubling its SUV line-up. Already a styling hit, time will tell if it becomes as popular as its larger Cayenne sibling.

Make: SsangYong

Model: Korando

Released: May 2014

SsangYong will ramp up its efforts to boost sales in Australia with a refreshed Korando compact-SUV before the middle of the year. The curved front-end of the Giugiaro-penned original is gone in favour of a sharper, more squared off look. The cabin also gains soft-touch materials and a new fascia.

Make: Peugeot

Model: RCZ - R

Released: May 2014

A super hot ‘R’ version of Peugeot’s RCZ coupe will land in Australia in early 2014, becoming the most powerful production Peugeot in history. Powered by a 199kW 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine, the RCZ R will feature more aggressive styling than the standard model that arrived with a facelift in mid-2013.
