Jeep Renegade 2021.

The 2021 Jeep Renegade is the brand’s smallest SUV, but it still underscores considerable off-road capability despite the size of the economy car.

Specifications

The base engine is a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder with 180 horsepower, which is sufficient for this size.

The redesigned engine — optional on the Latitude and standard on Trailhawk and Limited trims — is a turbocharged 1.3-liter engine that delivers better torque and 177 horsepower. Both engines are mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available as an option. The independent suspension of the new Renegade provides a decent ride for such a small car.

Toyota C-HR Nightshade 2021.

The 2021 Toyota C-HR is a front-wheel-drive hatchback with a spicy look and small size. To some, it may seem the SUV of the future, but, in fact, it is a stylish economy class car.

In 2021, a new version of Nightshade is released, and features for recognizing road signs and pedestrians are added to the standard active safety systems.

Specifications

The C-HR uses a 144-horsepower 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

Performance is adequate without fanaticism, with a smooth ride, heavy steering and moderate acceleration.

When it comes to fuel efficiency, EPA gasoline consumption in the city is 8.7 liters per 100 kilometers, 7.5 liters on the highway and 8 liters per 100 kilometers in mixed mode.

The car is nice to look at, but the roofline of the C-HR hatchback reduces headroom in the rear seats as well as reduces rear visibility. Rear seat legroom is also scarce.

Aston Martin Vanquish 2021-2022.

Show car Aston Martin Vanquish Vision has promised to become serial.
The mid-engined supercar Aston Martin AM-RB 003 was created with an eye on the Valkyrie.

And the «zero-zero-third» itself influenced the development of a parallel project, also a mid-engine Aston, but conceived as a more affordable model.

Together with the AM-RB 003, the Vanquish Vision Concept junior car arrived at the Geneva Motor Show as a show car. However, both will become serial (in 2021 and 2022, respectively).

Moreover, in the case of Vanquish Vision, the British are already talking about a full-fledged mass production (unlike the 003 model, which will have a limited edition of 500 pieces).

Chief Designer Miles Nuremberger explained that Vanquish Vision looks non-trivial against the background of the current serial Aston, but it is much less provocative than the Valkyrie and AM-RB 003.
