Porsche Macan 2021: a prestigious premium all-wheel drive crossover.
The Porsche company is positioning its new product — the Porsche Macan 2021 — as a premium compact crossover with a comfortable cabin interior and dynamic sports characteristics of a power tandem.

In the new incarnation, the crossover is focused on the needs of a well-off and active youth driver’s contingent.

The new model is more affordable at the cost of modifying the same type of branded analogue of the S series.

The 2021 Macan is identified by the configuration of the running lights built into the front diffusers, by the absence of nameplates on the aft and by the presence of only two exhaust pipes.

Renault Kiger 2021.

The French-Japanese partnership Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi continues to bring new models to the global automotive market, with the 2021 Nissan Magnite compact crossover unveiled last month and now featuring the new French urban SUV as the new 2021 Renault Kiger.

So far, only a concept car of this model has been presented, but it will definitely not be a matter of an early start of mass production, since this SUV for the most part technically borrows a lot from what was prepared for the Magnite model.

Overview

The very concept of creating such crossovers, the length of which does not exceed 4 meters, is aimed at obtaining serious tax concessions that are given to automakers in India.

Renault Duster 2021.

The Russian office of Renault announced the premiere of a new generation Renault Duster 2021 model year for our market, the 2nd generation crossover has already been sold for several years in Europe, and at the beginning of 2021 the official start of sales will begin here.

The SUV in a new body has received an updated look with modified optics and a cabin that will obviously acquire a modern media system with innovative options and functions.

And the platform on which the Duster is built remained the same — VO, so you should not expect global changes in technical terms.

The new Renault Duster 2021 body has retained the previous modular VO platform, and with it the suspension, represented by MacPherson struts on the front axle and a semi-independent structure (front-wheel drive modifications) or a multi-link (all-wheel drive) on the rear.

The brakes are still disc in the front and «drum» in the back. The dimensions of the body have changed slightly: in length it has added 25 mm. and became 8 mm. wider. The ground clearance remained at 210 mm.

Maserati Levante Trofeo 2021.

Three years have passed since the first Maserati Levante SUV debuted. And only now the Italians decided to go even further and presented at once two «charged» versions of the V8 — GTS and Trofeo.

Maserati does not hide that the main target of these new products will be fans of the Porsche Cayenne GTS and Cayenne Turbo, but even the fans of the Lamborghini Urus are in the halo of hits. What will the Maserati Levante Trofeo be able to counter them? I went to the home of Maserati to find out all the details.

Modena is home to Maserati’s oldest main factory and headquarters. The earth and the atmosphere here seem to be special. Special cars are born to the ringing of Modena cathedrals. And it was here that the Maserati Levante Trofeo came in — the most power-equipped V8 crossover in the world.

As much as 156 hp from one liter of working volume, Ferrari minders were able to remove from a gasoline V8 with a volume of 3.8 liters. And it is this engine from Ferrari that is installed on the Levante GTS and Trofeo.

Chevrolet Tahoe 2021.

The top-selling large SUVs in recent years, the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, are gearing up for another update, which will, among other things, give them larger new bodies.

In the case of the new Chevrolet Tahoe 2021, the increase in length will be 169 mm. (up to 5351 mm.), with its additional 125 mm. will also receive a wheelbase.

Next generation overview

American SUVs have always amazed ‘tight-fisted’ Europeans with their size, and it looks like they will continue to do so as North America’s most popular all-terrain vehicles ‘grow’ again.

Much is known about the new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe: the SUV will be equipped with a new independent rear suspension instead of a continuous axle (while optionally offering adjustable pneumatic mounts and adjustable shock absorbers), the car frame will become more durable, and a diesel unit will appear in the engine lineup.
