Despite the fact that it is in Russia that experts expect a slowdown in the growth rate of the car market, globally the number of cars sold is growing from year to year. Therefore, various manufacturers are actively presenting new models designed to further spur consumer demand.
Today we offer a photo rating Top 10 car innovations in 2015, which includes cars of different classes - from sedan to SUV.
10. Ford Mondeo
In the spring of 2015, the Russian start of sales of the fifth generation of the popular sedan is planned. At the same time, Ford will delight Europeans with two more modifications - a station wagon and a Mondeo hatchback. The choice will be available in two configurations - with a 2.5-liter engine or a turbocharged two-liter EcoBoost unit.
9. Honda HR-V
The compact crossover was created on the basis of the Jazz compact van. Experts predict the model will be a great success, as demand in the small crossover segment is growing steadily. In Japan, this new product is already actively sold under the name Vezel.
8. Subaru Outback
The manufacturer positions this "almost SUV" as an off-road wagon. The Outback has a ground clearance of 22 cm, blind spot monitoring and EyeSight to avoid jerking when driving in reverse.
7. Volvo XC90
The previous modification of the crossover has not changed for 12 years. The seven-seater XC90 will add at least a million rubles in price. The manufacturer promises a car for 3-4 million rubles that will allow you to enjoy a decent level of comfort and safety.
6. Land Rover Discovery Sport
Fans of "full-weight" SUVs are looking forward to the new product. After all, the 2015 Discovery Sport received a lot of "highlights" - sensors in the side mirrors, a washer in place of the gear lever, the third row of seats for an additional fee. All-wheel drive is available as standard on Discovery Sport.
5. Jaguar XE
The main competitors of the new sedan are Mercedes-Benz C-class and BMW of the third series. The novelty features an innovative chassis design, the lowest drag coefficient in the history of the brand, as well as improved cruise control.
4. Mazda CX-3
The model is intermediate between the CX-5 and Mazda3. The trim levels will include both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The prototype for the CX-3 was the Mazda2, which may also enter our market in 2015.
3. Jeep Renegade
The most "off-road" brand is included in the compact crossover segment. The Renegade was built on the Fiat 500 platform. The top trim will have four-wheel drive, a 9-speed gearbox and a two-liter diesel.
2. Infiniti Q30
Due to the unusual body, it is rather difficult to classify a car - it can be called a crossover, a hatchback, and a coupe. The Q30 was designed by engineers from Mercedes-Benz, using units from Mercedes in the design.
1. Nissan X-Trail
The main difference between the 2015 model is the third row of seats. In addition, the electronic filling of the most anticipated car has been improved, which, for example, helps to get under way on the rise, redistribute the torque between the wheels when turning and even recognize road signs.
