TOP 6 Debuts From NYIAS

 DARPAN has picked out sixof our favourite surprises to come out of the recent show.

2018 NISSAN Qashqai

As an urbanite myself, I do appreciate a smaller form factor for navigating narrow parking spots and streets.

2018 Maserati Levante S GranSport

Even as a journalist, it is not often that I get to drive an exotic car like a Maserati, and ones that I have ridden have been a little disappointing in many areas.

2018 Range Rover VELAR

“We call the Velar the avant-garde Range Rover. It brings a new dimension of glamour, modernity and elegance to the brand. The Range Rover Velar changes everything,” says Land Rover chief design officer Gerry McGovern. 

2018 Mercedes-Benz C300 Wagon 4MATIC

Bigger and bolder than ever before, the gorgeous vehicle has striking bodylines. If you’ve seen the sedan variant, the story is much the same save for, of course, the tail section. 

2018 BMW M240i

 
The little Coupe feels lively and agile, running on an Adaptive M suspension setup comprised largely of aluminum. Throw in a low centre of gravity, near 
50:50 weight distribution and variable electromechanical sport steering and what you’ve got is a car that truly handles as though it’s on rails.
