Small cars
Ford Ka
An extremely popular car with drivers of all ages, the new Ford Ka is expected to arrive late 2015. The five-door-only model will set you back around £8,000.
Honda Jazz
A zippy little car with fantastic fuel economy, you can expect yet another improved model in summertime this year. The key selling point of the new model will be its more spacious cabin.
Hyundai i20
Hyundai is loved by motorists looking for good value for money. The new i20 will be out around March, but most of the changes will be about giving it better styling and refinement.
Vauxhall Corsa
The imminent arrival of the new Corsa has many young drivers excited. The new model will feature three-cylinder engines, plus a major overhaul to the chassis and cabin.
Family cars
Toyota Mirai
Toyota has been making reliable family vehicles for years and its latest model, the Toyota Mirai, is full of innovation. It features two hydrogen fuel tanks that can be filled in just three minutes. Expect its grand arrival at around late summer.
Vauxhall Astra
Another household name in the family vehicle market, the brand new Vauxhall Astra will be launched late 2015. Apart from the obvious marketing point around doing your bit to support our local car manufacturing industry, Vauxhall also promises this vehicle to be a worthy competitor to the Ford Focus in every department. At a starting price of £12,995, it should prove to be a hit with British families.
Volkswagen Golf GTE
If you want a car that’s zippy and looks great for transporting the kids, then a Volkswagen is a pretty good choice. The new Golf GTE is set to arrive in spring this year, and it will be the first plug-in hybrid car from VW. Its key selling points are great performance, fuel economy and a lower tax bill. Now, try to beat that!
Luxury Cars
If you are lucky enough to be shopping for a luxury car, then a BMW 7 Series might just be the car of your dreams. Scheduled to hit the market late this year, the new series will feature abundance of new technology, including touch-screens, iDrive plus carbon bodywork.
SUVs
Hyundai ix35
Hyundai has experienced fantastic success with the ix35. It will release a new model around July, with the aim of beating the Nissan Qashqai in popularity stakes.
