The 2018 Toyota RAV4 will be the next model of one of the most popular crossovers that Japanese company produced. Its reliability and off-road performance, in the mix with excellent fuel consumption and styling, make buyers choose this SUV in large offer. Mid-size segment has many models, including top vehicles from Honda, Ford and German carmakers, BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz, so it is hard to compete all of these companies. Not that Toyota is managing to battle, but also set some standard in automotive industry, and some changes on the new RAV4 could be a breakthrough.

Four-cylinder drivetrain will propel 2018 Toyota RAV4. This 2.5-l engine is very effective, and it is not strange why is so popular. However, company another option, which should take place in US built vehicles. It is 1.5-l 4-cylinder engine which was developed in cooperation with BMW. 

Transmission is certain with 6-speed gearbox waiting for engineers to decide which unit is taking place under the hood of the new RAV4. Predictions are that combo can produce around 200 horses. Less likely information is that crossover is going to share the engine with new Prius, which means 2018 RAV4 could be hybrid model.

There is close cooperation between VW and Audi in engine sectors. When we are talking about 2018 VW Touareg, then Q7 is its sibling and these two could get the same powerplant. But, so far, both companies are quiet about information. We know that Volkswagen is developing diesel unit, which should deliver around, or even over 300 hp. 

Further rumors are reporting about V10 unit or hybrid system, but there is no backing for these stories. However, we’ll have them in mind until company’s official statement. If 2018 Touareg is going to share something with Audi, it will be e-tron hybrid unit, with 3.0-l diesel powertrain and electric battery of 94 kW. This hybrid uses different transmission, than expected 10-speed DSG box for regular model. Hybrid is mated to a 8-speed tiptronic gearbox.

Famous Swedish car maker is back in the market with new vehicles. Among them is a 2018 Volvo XC60, brand new crossover that is still in development phase, but soon will be presented, at least as concept. Since this is still fresh model from Volvo, we don’t expect any major change to a current vehicle. Minor updates and some styling solutions are being prepared, while power train range should be the same. Similar expectations are from price, which could be only slightly modified.

2018 Volvo XC60 redesign

The 2018 Volvo XC60 is big car, whose designers paid a lot of attention to safety. This could increase the chances of the company to reach top in this class, where they started to slide recently. Innovations are needed and that is exactly what XC60 brings. Side skirts are carried over, while headlights use Thor’s Hammer styling. With revisited bumper and wave cut light on the rear end, SUV is more aggressive.

Finally, larger grille should be last modification on the exterior. Inside, due to increased length, there will be more space for cargo. Also, passengers will have enough room for head and legs in 5-seats layout, with easy access. Dashboard is revisited and use should be simpler. Infotainment system will be upgraded with new audio system, while more comfortable seats are expected.

Although it was announced for earlier months, looks like that new version of Tiguan SUV is delayed. According to new reports, vehicle should come out as 2018 VW Tiguan. To support these stories, there are some spy shots taken of the new Volkswagen crossover. Soon we could get a premiere of the concept, but production model will be presented during 2017. Sale in US are going to start after European promotion, while price is still unknown. We predict it to be around current model’s valuation of $26,000.

Spy shots revealed some details about 2018 VW Tiguan. But, heavy camouflage covered some parts. As we are getting closer to its unveiling, we will get more of its styling. Experts noticed that proportions are close to vehicles that use CrossBlue platform, so we can’t exclude same concept is used for building 2018 Tiguan.

New SUV is more sportier than before, which is boosted with lower roof and diffuser on the back of the vehicle. Inside, we can predict similar interior to a Cross Coupe GTE, which uses same concept and it was launched recently. Digital clusters, touch-screen displays and many more advanced features are expected inside the Tiguan.
