Range Rover Evoque
With its stylish and sporting appearance, the Range Rover Evoque has launched both three- and five-door versions of the SUV. The Evoque twins are the same except that the five-door is about one inch taller and rear-seat passengers get about two more inches of shoulder room.

The SUV’s engine is from Ford’s new family of EcoBoost four-cylinders, offering a polished driving experience that combines dynamic and sporty handling with responsive, effortless performance and refinement. The car’s interior is lavishly appointed with premium quality materials and an elegance befitting only of a Range Rover.

Customers can specify soft, premium leather and beautifully tailored, twin-needle stitching providing a luxurious finish to almost every surface of the instrument panel, doors and seats.

MINI Countryman
Need a little room in your MINI? The four-door Countryman will do it for you.

With an elevated seating position that improves overall driver sight lines, adjustable back seats and a lot more cargo space, the vehicle is a gem in the cross-over category.

The Countryman 2012 is the largest in the line-up of MINIs, and while always high on style and performance, the model is adding to its already high-tech options. A mirror-mounted digital compass, two-tone leather steering wheel and unique wheels and upholstery are amongst the additions.

Don’t be fooled by the marquee; this MINI has plenty of space inside, offering a comfortable ride in the brand’s own unique style.


Hyundai Genesis Prada
Hyundai, in cooperation with Italian fashion label Prada, has launched a limited edition Genesis Prada with a small number of models for the China and Middle East markets.

Designed to be one of the most luxurious models the company has ever built, this model will be available in three colours — black nero, blue baltico and brown moro — and is distinguished by dark chrome accents, a shark-fin antenna and exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels.

Upping its interior luxury, the dashboard and the upholstery have been revised and artisan-crafted in saffiano, Prada’s signature top quality leather.

Infiniti G37 Convertible
Motoring fans can indulge in the luxury brand’s new 2012 Infiniti G37 Convertible. The sports car again features athletic, well-proportioned coupé-like styling (with the top raised), flowing front fenders, wave-like hood and the signature Infiniti double-arch grille.

The new model’s features include a wider rear track, modified rear suspension and a special convertible-focused interior. Powered by a 3.7-litre V6 engine, which uses aluminium-alloy for the block and heads, it comes with low-friction coated pistons.

An excellent car for those looking for a luxury sporty convertible; it handles and performs well, and pampers the driver in luxurious surroundings.


Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG
With the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG, it’s all about what’s under the hood; this model is the most powerful SLK yet. Also much more fuel efficient, the engine combines low consumption figures with superior power delivery and the much-loved exhaust growl. The new 5.5-litre V8 engine will deliver 422 hp and is mated with a seven-speed automatic transmission, with AMG speed shift technology.

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8
The new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is even more aggressive looking than before, boasting front and rear fascias with LED daytime running lamps and chrome bezel inserts. The interior has also been upgraded with a three-spoke steering wheel with a flat bottom, nappa leather and suede seats and extensive carbon fibre accents.

By far the most powerful Jeep ever offered, the SRT gains steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, to control the five-speed automatic transmission, and a new rear liftgate spoiler that is designed to reduce drag and improve downforce at high speeds. As with most of the cars entering showrooms today, fuel efficiency continues to be a primary theme; an active valve exhaust system cuts out four cylinders, to reduce fuel consumption, when the additional power is not required.

2012 Lexus GX 460
This luxury SUV transitions into the New Year with minimal changes but remains a leading contender in its category. The spacious vehicle is engineered to hold up to seven people with a number of seat configurations. High in style, performance, safety and its advanced handling and control technologies makes the 460 ideal for use on- or off-road.

Its 4.6-litre V8 engine produces 301 hp and is teamed with a six-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with sequential shift; providing outstanding power and a responsive performance. For 2012, the standard model has received colour-keyed body side moulding with a chrome accent, while the premium version now features a high-gloss wheel finish.

As in any Lexus, the GX 460’s interior oozes comfort; ventilated front seats, rain-sensing windshield wipers and memory system for the driver’s seat are just a few of its features.

Ford F150 Raptor
The purpose-built off-road performance pick-up has made quite a few changes this year. With a 411 hp from a 6.2-litre V8 engine, the truck retains the toughness and power of its line.

Among the additions is a new Torsen front differential, helping to increase grip significantly on the front end of the truck and improve its capabilities in handling obstacles and slippery conditions. Also in the new model is an off-road front camera system designed to give drivers a view of what’s happening in front of their truck.

Visually, the F150 looks tougher than ever; with new available body side graphics featuring gloss, matte and textured black finishes with the usual 17-inch cast aluminium units shod with 35-inch tyres.
