Hyundai Kona

3/31/2018

 
Picture
Another  day another new crossover, but as my postman said 'everyone is buying them.'

He got that right. In a year when car sales fell 2017 was a great year for the crossover-cum-SUV, call them what you will.

This was the only sector where sales increased although it is hardly surprising with new models being churned out like pizzas at a fast food counter. What is it that makes this style of car so popular? I can give you the answer in one word: height.

DS 7 Crossback

A new car brand is a big event and some are bigger than others. This one is big because of its name.

The Citroën DS of 1955 was the most significant car of the 20th century changing the face of motoring with its futuristic design and cutting edge technology.
​
Now that name is back as the stand alone luxury arm of the PSA group, that's Peugeot, Citroën, and now Vauxhall-Opel as well. DS models have been produced since 2011 sitting alongside Citroen but since 2014 the brand has been separated and has aimed at the premium sectors.

​
The alliance would seem to be the perfect marriage: Mitsubishi is big on all wheel drive - it built its first 4x4 in 1936 - and so is Nissan, and it has had huge success with the plug-in hybrid Outlander which dovetails nicely with Renault's expertise in electric cars.
