As 2018 draws to a close, it is time to look forward. We have been waiting for 2019 for a long time as some of the iconic cars are scheduled to return after years of not being present in any market. The list that you will find below contains 10 cars which we are very excited to see. It is important to note that these are not categorized. We tried to include different manufacturers and different types of vehicles as well.
Furthermore, there is room for plenty of cars to be added to the list. It was quite hard to select only 10 because there are a lot more excellent models already launched for next year, or expected to arrive sometime in 2019. Anyway, we hope you will agree with some of our choices as these are top 10 cars that will mark 2019!
10. 2019 Audi E-tron
Basic Information:
Audi E-tron has a starting price of £70,805 and it will go on sale in early 2019.

According to the German manufacturer, approximately 30 percent of the total range is accounted for by energy recuperation. The drivers will have paddles mounted on the steering wheel and they will be able to select the severity of this recuperation with them. The charging system is quite advanced and there is a 150kW charging port offered. It takes less than half an hour for the E-tron to reach 80% of its full potential.

The vehicles that will try to prevent Honda CR-V hybrid from reaching high numbers of sales are the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage – that’s quite a competition.
