* APRIL 2024
2025 HYUNDAI TUCSON:
Canada's top-selling Hyundai
is getting a new grille, sharpened
styling and redesigned
front and rear bumpers for
the 2025 model year. The
overhauled interior adds a
panoramic curved display
and an enlarged 12.3-inch
infotainment touchscreen,
while an updated centre stack
brings back physical knobs for the audio
volume and climate control. Sales of gasoline-powered
trims start in June, while
hybrid and plug-in options will arrive
in late summer. Pricing hasn't been
released.
2025 KIA K4: Bolder styling and new technology
aren't all that's new for the fourth generation of Kia's
compact sedan: For 2025, the Forte - the brand's
second-best seller - is out and K4 is in. The car has
a wider stance and fastback roofline, though its standard
147-horsepower 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder is
a carryover. The K4 is slated to arrive at Canadian
dealerships in the second half of the year. Pricing
hasn't been released.

2025 INFINITI QX80:
Pitched as the first step in
Infiniti's " product renaissance, "
the flagship 2025 QX80 aims to
set a new tone for the brand
after years of slowing sales. The
third-generation full-size SUV
goes big across the board, adding
legroom for all three rows of seats
and a new 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged
V-6 that generates 450
horsepower, 50 more than the V-8
engine in the outgoing generation.
It also has an upsized price
tag, starting at $107,490, including
$2,495 delivery. Three trims will
be available in Canada starting
this summer.
2025 MERCEDES-BENZ G-WAGEN: It's familiar looking but the
big news for the 2025 G-Class is an electrified powertrain. A 48-volt
integrated starter generator complements the 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder
turbocharged engine in the Mercedes-Benz G 550. The same
mild hybrid system supports the AMG G 63's 4.0-litre turbocharged
V-8. It's a first step toward a battery-electric G-Wagen that the
brand said would arrive " at a later date. " The G 550 and the G 63
are expected at dealerships by the end of the year.
Vehicles are domestic unless noted.
