Audi has treated its A4 mid-sizer to a subtle update that sees a new S Line Competition package, with the Sedan and Avant wagon body styles to arrive in Australian showrooms early in 2019.

Mercedes-Benz will complete its X-Class ute range with the arrival of two X350d variants that are motivated by a 190kW/550Nm 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6.

Volkswagen is set to re-enter the camper-van segment with its Caddy Beach that packs a fold-out bed, a walk-through tent, two folding camp chairs and table, and tray tables for rear passengers, among other features.

As part of a model-year update, Suzuki is set to drop the 82kW/160Nm 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine from its Baleno and instead opt for a naturally aspirated range.

Renault is scheduled to replace the 88kW/190Nm 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine in its Captur line-up with a 110kW/250Nm 1.3-litre turbocharged unit, with the upgrade also ushering in a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
