Cars To Look Forward To In 2014

2013 was an exciting year for the car manufacturing industry with several firsts such as the BMW i3. A new year brings a whole new load of vehicles with high expectations from car lovers, but what new cars will we see on the roads this year. Some of the already anticipated releases include…

Mercedes Benz GLA
A car that is being manufactured with the intention of rivalling the already popular Audi Q3 and the Range Rover Evoque, quite a brave move by Mercedes but will it live up to the task? The estimated price tag is lower than that of its rivals, set to be released in spring the new compact SUV is based on a platform the same as the CLA saloon and A class hatchback.

Ford Mondeo
Identical to the Ford Fusion which is already sold in the US and set to be released in Europe, the difference between this new model and the overseas one is the difference in engines and higher grade carbon trim, but it’s yet to be seen if there will be any significant differences when the vehicle is released in September.

Lamborghini Huracan
Granted not many of us will be able to meet the £155,000 price tag its exciting none the less, the Huracan is set to be the replacement for the Gallardo which is going to be quite the task as the Gallardo is the best selling Lamborghini ever. The new 5.2 litre V10 with an estimated 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds may live up to its predecessor.

Citroen Cactus
Looking like a car from the future with its glitter and glam and high tech outer body it was a concept car released in 2013 but is set to be on sale June this year. The cactus has the goal of being one of the safest cars with its new “Airbump” system designed to reduce low speed impacts and aiming to replace the traditional bumper.

Volkswagen Golf R
Another Volkswagen Golf to break records? The new high performance version of the Mk7 with a 2.0 litre engine and four wheel drive should bring it to match its rivals like the BMW M135i. You can buy this vehicle now however its first deliveries start in March; will the new Golf do as well as the previous years?
