MITSUBISHI

MIRAGE

PRICE: ON APPLICATION

Although the Mirage is essentially the hatchback version of the Attrage, the former is more attractive than the latter, with a sleeker nose and more pert rear end. The Mirage is also more practical than its sibling, offering up to 910 litres (seats folded) of boot space, or more than double the Attrage’s capacity.

GENESIS

G80

PRICE: ON APPLICATION

This executive saloon is an updated Hyundai Genesis, and the first model from the carmaker’s new Genesis luxury division. The car’s styling revisions are minor, but it continues to offer more space, practicality and standard features than its competitors. Engine choices include a 3.8-litre V6 and 5-litre V8, with the former more likely to be sold here.

INFINITI

Q30

$137,800: ON THE ROAD

This hatchback is the smallest member of the Infiniti family and the brand’s entry-level model. Based on Mercedes’ A-Class, the Q30’s interior is dotted with Mercedes switchgear, although it utilises its own infotainment system. The Q30 is available in two variants – a 1.5-litre turbodiesel (front-wheel-drive) or a turbocharged 2-litre petrol with all-wheel-drive.
