Suzuki Swift 2024.

New Suzuki Swift: first photos before the world premiere.

The change of generations will not bring radical changes to the Japanese hatchback either in design or technology, and India has been and will remain the main market for it.

The new generation will be the fourth for Swift in its current form factor and at least the seventh, if we follow the chronology from the original Japanese hatchback, developed in the early 80s of the last century.

The current form factor means a rounded hatchback with blackened A-pillars — in this form the Swift debuted in 2004 and entered the Indian market in 2005 under the Maruti Suzuki brand.

In India, the locally assembled Maruti Suzuki Swift is now an absolute bestseller with 141,014 units sold between January and August this year. (+17.5% compared to sales for the same period in 2022).

For comparison, let’s say that in its native Japan, Swift sold 18,215 units in the first eight months of this year. (+5%), in Europe — 27,713 units. (+37%).

Skoda Kodiaq 2024.

The premiere of the new generation Skoda Kodiaq crossover will take place in September 2023.

But the manufacturer has already revealed most of the details, and also published official photos (though so far only in camouflage).

So, the silhouette of the Skoda Kodiaq 2024 will remain recognizable, while the external design will be significantly updated.

The new model uses the same but modified MQB platform (updated with the EVO prefix). By the way, a technical relative – the recently announced new generation Volkswagen Tiguan is based on the same platform.

The crossover will also be offered in five-seat or seven-seat (three-row) versions.

Length: 4758 (increased by 61 mm)
Width: 1864 mm (decreased by 18 mm)
Height: 1657 mm (decreased by 11 mm)
Wheelbase: 2791 mm (remains the same)

Genesis GV80 2024.

Genesis GV80 2024: along with restyling, the coupe-shaped crossover GV80 Coupe debuted.

The updated Genesis GV80 crossover for the 2024 model year was presented, and along with the restyling, a coupe-like modification of the GV80 Coupe debuted.

The Genesis GV80 is one of the company’s best-selling models and it is logical that by expanding the range, sales can be increased even more.

If the standard GV80 competes with the BMW X5, then the coupe version will compete with the BMW X6 or Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, expanding the audience even further.

Speaking of the standard crossover, due to restyling, its radiator grille and front bumper have changed slightly.

The shape of the optics remains the same, but the lighting technology itself is now MLA (Micro Lens Array) matrix. The exterior also features new wheel designs and added body colors.

Inside, the 2024 Genesis GV80 features a completely new front panel with a large (27-inch) rectangular display without a visor, which has no visible separation between the instrument panel and the media system.
