Entering its second generation with the GLE nameplate, Mercedes-Benz’s large SUV is box-fresh and ready to make some noise in its segment again with leading infotainment and a mild-hybrid option.

After a series of delays, Nissan will launch its second-generation Leaf full-electric hatch with a 40kWh battery that provides a claimed 270km of the driving range on the WLTP combined cycle test.

With volume-building expectations, Citroen’s C5 Aircross mid-size SUV has a tall task ahead of it, but at least it will ride comfortably thank to its innovative Progressive Hydraulic Cushion dampers.
