which will then, hopefully, transfer into those feet driving one of your utes out of your dealership after just having sold the ute.<\/p>\n<p>There are some pretty special new utes available already in Australia, but there will also be some new utes coming in the not-too-distant future.\u00a0 Hyundai, with joint interest and input from sister company Kia, are poised to bring an exciting ute to Australia.\u00a0 A team of experts from Hyundai recently visited Australia.\u00a0 They piloted a detailed ute market research project here in Australia, while also visiting other Asian countries as well as the Middle East. \u00a0Hyundai Australia&#8217;s CEO, Mr Lee, commented that the new ute would be subject to its extensive local tuning program to tailor it to Australian conditions and consumer tastes.\u00a0 It sounds like Hyundai are doing their homework very well indeed. \u00a0According to Kia Australia, the ute will be offered in a range of single-cab and double-cab body styles with both petrol and diesel engine options.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9927\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9927\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9927\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2020-Jeep-Gladiator-300x156.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9927\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2020 Jeep Gladiator<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Jeep Gladiator is set to make an entry, and this really is a light truck\/ute that imposes itself with immense on-road presence.\u00a0 It\u2019s big, bold and capable both on and off the road and, essentially, it is a Jeep Wrangler with a big tray out the back.\u00a0 It will offer Sport, Sport S, Overland and Rubicon trims, and it offers two engine choices: a 3.6-litre Pentaster V6 that delivers 209 kW and 353 Nm, and a torquey 3.0-litre diesel V6 to launch a little further down the track.\u00a0 The Gladiator stretches 5.54 m in length, 1.88 m wide and up to 1.90 m in height.\u00a0 A 3.5 tonnes towing weight is no problem.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9928\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9928\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9928\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2020-ram-1500-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">2020 Ram 1500<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the same vein as the Gladiator, but with even more hulk, is the new Ram 1500, a model that has been birthed out of the Ram\u00a0Truck Division.\u00a0 Big on grunt the Ram 1500 comes with an updated 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 engine which should prove more fuel efficient than previous engines.\u00a0 The new engine is used in the newest Jeep Grand Cherokee and will sit above the entry-level Hemi V8 models.\u00a0 Taking a look at the 184 kW and 570 Nm figures for the Grand Cherokee, the same engine in the Ram 1500 should be a thumper &#8211;
