• He already enjoyed well-deserved popularity among Russian and foreign motorists, who positively appreciated the design, compactness and driving performance of the car. The new version of Qashqai promises to be more aggressive and impressive in appearance, but at the same time more environmentally friendly: if desired, it will be possible to order a car with a hybrid engine.

• The latest S-Class remains true to the spirit of its predecessors, combining exceptional comfort with the latest in automotive science.
• The main feature of the car will be artificial intelligence, called by engineers "semi-autonomous technology of the third level." But we know what that means (thank the robots!). Theoretically, this most semi-autonomous autopilot will allow the car to move independently on the road.

At this time, a person can enjoy an updated view of the cabin – where the previous model had modest (by Mercedes standards) digital panels, a huge infotainment screen will now appear.

• So far, it is difficult to say about the composition of the configurations (it is clear so far that there will be three of them – basic, luxury and top), but everything is clear with the engine. "Chinese" will be equipped with a 1,6-liter engine with a capacity of 190 liters. With. The drive can be either front or full. By the way, this is the first model of a compact SUV with all-wheel drive in the history of Chery.
2.BMW M3

In the new version, the developers got rid of the main drawback of the previous iteration of the car – the engine, which, according to the company, was not powerful enough.
• The M3-2020 will receive a completely new 3-liter, six-cylinder, turbocharged engine. And the letter S in the name of the engine model – S58 – shows that sports developments were taken into account during the development. And this is the normal version of the car.

• Instead of conventional rear-wheel drive, the M3 will get an xDrive system that sends power to all four wheels when needed.
