Happy New Year to you all!\u00a0 2023 sees some brand new cars coming into view, and we’re set to observe a considerable increase in the number of EVs sold on our shores.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a brief look at some of the exciting cars and SUVs you can get your hands on in the near future!<\/p>\n

Alfa Romeo Tonale<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the first of the Alfas that take the special brand into EV mode.\u00a0 The Alfa Romeo Tonale Hybrid kicks it off with its hybrid engine offering the new 48-volt hybrid propulsion system.\u00a0 You\u2019d expect an Alfa to be sporty, and the nicely designed compact SUV delivers on this front.\u00a0 Comfortable interiors and decent technology make this a good way of upgrading into 2023.<\/p>\n

BMW iX1<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The smallest X model from BMW comes in as the X1, and the iX1 is the EV model with a battery range up over 400 km. \u00a0Nicely laid out interiors, an athletic driving style (typical Beemer), and a good dollop of performance make this a great new compact SUV.<\/p>\n

BYD Atto 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The BYD Atto 3 is a new kid on the block for Australia.\u00a0 Being an electric medium-sized SUV with a decent range makes this an efficient EV for the new year.\u00a0 The Atto 3 also offers a comfy interior and plenty of the latest technology and safety features.<\/p>\n

CUPRA Born<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CUPRA cars are exciting.\u00a0 They have plenty of performance and are generally a well-priced product with high-end features.\u00a0 This new model called the CUPRA Born is an EV with a handsome range of beyond 500 km.\u00a0 The CUPRA Born is an exciting car to look at, and it comes with advanced technology and great connectivity.<\/p>\n

Ford E-Transit<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ford\u2019s lovable Transit has a new ticker with the latest vans now offering electric power.\u00a0 This is a brand new, full-size, pure-electric E-Transit that features a 68 kWh battery and a driving range of up to 317 km.\u00a0 Ford say that it is possible to fast-charge the E-Transit from 15% to 80% in a bit over 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

GWM Tank 300<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the best vehicles to come out of 2023 will be the impressive looking GWM Tank 300.\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t it make a statement!\u00a0 The Tank is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol-electric hybrid system, and the internal-combustion engine offers a juicy 180 kW.\u00a0 Nappa leather, all the tech, and very handy off-road makes this a hugely appealing.<\/p>\n

Lexus RX<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Toyota has their luxury Lexus brand offering their latest RX.\u00a0 If you\u2019re wanting a new hybrid, these are some of the best ones out there.\u00a0 Toyota make a great hybrid powertrain with smooth performance and impressive efficiency.\u00a0 The RX interior sees an updated luxury interior design with ever-impressive build quality.\u00a0 The RX is roomy too and very comfortable.<\/p>\n

Maserati Grecale<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maserati is becoming ever more affordable.\u00a0 That\u2019s a great thing because they make great cars.\u00a0 The new Maserati Grecale is a front-engine, medium-sized luxury SUV that comes with the promise of plenty of performance.\u00a0 Three engines are available: two 2.0-litre petrol motors and a 3.0-litre V6 petrol.\u00a0 Generous on the equipment levels, the Grecale will be rewarding to drive.<\/p>\n

MG4<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

MG offers the new MG4 hatchback this year.\u00a0 It is an affordable electric hatchback that has been packed full of innovation, style, technology, and an impressive 440 km driving range.<\/p>\n

Nissan X-Trail E-Power Hybrid<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nice to look at, and equally at home off-road as it is on, the Nissan X-Trail E-Power Hybrid SUV is very comfortable and very well-equipped.\u00a0 Rear cargo capacity in the 5 seat version of this awesome SUV is 575 litres (super handy for a family).\u00a0 A 7-seat option is also available.\u00a0 The entry point model is a mild hybrid version and uses a 1.5-litre petrol most of the time.\u00a0 The other powerplant uses the same 1.5-liter ICE, but it doesn\u2019t connect to the wheels directly. \u00a0Instead, it becomes the electrical generator of the system that works in unison with a small battery operating as a buffer.\u00a0 The wheels are fed power via electric motors.<\/p>\n

Renault Kangoo<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Renault\u2019s new Kangoo definitely can do, especially with its brand new E-Tech EV versions becoming available for the Australian market.\u00a0 This will be Australia’s cheapest electric van.\u00a0 The E-Tech has a 90 kW\/245 Nm electric motor that drives the front wheels via a single-speed transmission.\u00a0 You should easily run about town for well over 250 km before needing to recharge.<\/p>\n

Keep your eyes open for these new models travelling our roads and on showroom floors across Australia.\u00a0 Also keep your ears open via Private Fleet, where we\u2019ll keep you up to date with what other new models are coming our way shortly.\u00a0 All the best for 2023!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
