The year is new, the opportunities are endless, and the automotive scene has some absolute crackers lined up for release in 2016. Ranging from supercars to super minis, they promise to push the boundaries in terms of design, innovation, and sheer aesthetic appeal. If you’re looking for motors to bedazzle and delight, then here is our pick for the year ahead. Prepare to be blown away by their power, their beauty, and their irrepressible brilliance.
1. Alfa Romeo Giulia
Inarguably amongst the best cars of the year, the Alfa Romeo Giulia is set for release in September 2016, and it promises to take the motoring scene by storm. Reviving a classic name, Alfa Romeo aims to delight with the Giulia’s sleek, sensuous curves, rear wheel thrills, and exquisite performance. Do you have the budget to add one of these £24,000 beauties to your garage?
2. Bentley Bentayga
There are few experiences that can rival sitting behind the wheel of a Bentley, feeling its power thrumming through your fingertips and pressing you back into its leather-clad seat, and its latest design offers all of the decadence and drive that we’ve come to expect from this unparalleled motor manufacturer. Priced at £160,000, it will definitely make a dent in your savings, especially when you add insurance, breakdown cover, and all of those other little extras into the mix, but few cars look quite so delightful parked up in your driveway. Add the ability to reach 62mph in under four seconds into the mix, and an irrefutable truth emerges: the Bentayga is worth every penny. After all, can you really put a price on perfection?
3. Kia Hybrid
It’s not only those with mega budgets that motoring manufacturers are appealing to in 2016, and the Kia Hybrid offers a far more economical option for those whose funds are limited. Retailing at £18,000, it’s cheap to buy, keep, and run, making it the perfect family car for those without crazy amounts to spend on their next motor. Despite being known for its eco credentials, it has a lot more than this to recommend it, offering a smooth, powerful drive, stylish aesthetics, and an engine that could last forever.
4. Land Rover Discovery 5
Land Rover is the undisputed master of off-road driving, and the Discovery 5 marks a fantastic return to its roots. Retailing at £45,000, it offers a strong, powerful drive, a leviathan charisma, and the versatility to tackle any terrain. As well suited to manoeuvring through the urban jungle as it is to fording streams and navigating open moorland, it offers an exquisite combination of workman-like utility married to comfort, quality, and refinement. And, with diesel-electric hybrids rumoured to be amongst your options, it’s also more economical than ever before.
5. Smart ForTwo Cabrio
Last place on our list goes to a slightly more unusual option: the ForTwo Cabrio. Priced at £12,000, it’s the perfect car for young professionals, thanks to its manoeuvrability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Its unique aesthetics also hold a certain quirky charm, and when combined with its speed, fuel efficiency, and environmental friendliness, it really does make a fantastic drive for the youthful, the eccentric, and the ecowarrior alike.
