2018 Mercedes-AMG GLC63 4MATIC:
A Small CUV with 469 HP of V-8 Fury: Mercedes-Benz’s thinly sliced SUV pie is getting divvied up yet again, and the latest addition to the lineup could be one of the most delicious pieces yet. AMG’s latest creation, the V-8–powered GLC63 4MATIC, stuffs the glorious hand-built 4.0-liter V-8 engine into the engine bay of the compact GLC-class crossover and its GLC coupe sibling (covered separately). With muscular looks, comprehensive chassis upgrades, and what we expect to be a burly soundtrack from the thundering V-8, the GLC63 looks to be mighty enticing. Leave it to AMG to pack so much power—469 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque—into such a small vehicle. Among the GLC’s competitors, only the Porsche Macan Turbo and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio top 400 horsepower, and V-8 engines are unheard of in this class. And what a V-8 it is: The twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter unit is found in nearly all AMG 63 models as well as the monstrous AMG GT sports car. Although the GLC63 will be limited to one performance tune (the pictured Euro-sped GLC63 S won’t be offered in the U.S.), even more grunt will be available in the GLC63 S coupe variant, which will offer an upgraded version of the V-8 with 503 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Mercedes is quoting a 3.9-second zero-to-60-mph run for the GLC63—and given our 4.5-second result for the GLC43, which is 107 horsepower less powerful, that number might prove to be an understatement. AMG’s familiar nine-speed automatic transmission, with a multiplate clutch that replaces a torque converter, comes standard, as does a performance-oriented 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, which features a limited-slip rear differential that varies front-to-rear torque distribution on the fly. The GLC63’s suspension setup includes air springs and adaptive dampers, which, along with the steering tuning, transmission shift programming, and exhaust, are variable based on the selected drive mode: Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Race, and the customizable Individual. Performance options include a louder AMG exhaust and a wider 20-inch wheel-and-tire setup with 265-width front and 295-width rear tires (replacing the standard 19-inch wheels with 235/255 front/rear tires)...

2018 BMW X3:
BMW had previously teased the new model in a series of official spy shots, but these fresh pictures show us almost every detail and were published alongside a promotional video and specs on the official BMW Hong Kong site. Overall, the profile of the premium mid-size SUV remains much the same, and we don’t expect the new X3 to swell in size over the current model. The styling is clearly evolutionary too: there's a more rounded-off look but it appears BMW's designers haven't strayed too far from what came before. New lights and a bigger grille are the main changes here.However, the new platform will mean more dramatic changes are expected under the skin. Auto Express understands that the new X3 SUV will use a new lightweight rear-wheel-drive platform to improve fuel economy, performance and handling. Between 50kg and 100kg is likely to be stripped out of the new X3, which could bring the weight of the entry-level model down to around 1,700kg.It’ll be slightly longer, boosting space in the cabin, but up to 100kg lighter than before. The platform also underpins the new 5 Series saloon, plus an all-new 3 Series expected in 2018. The new architecture will mean a slight increase in overall length and a small step up in practicality.Three models were listed among the leaked images: xDrive20d, xDrive30d and M40i. These are models available in Hong Kong, acording to the leaks, but we expect the same X3 versions to arrive in the UK as well. Fuel economy figures are also among the info online: 56.5mpg and 132g/km for the xDrive20d, 49.5mpg and 149g/km for the xDrive30d and 34.4mpg and 188g/km for the M40i. The performance specs for the M40i were also revealed - it gets a 3.0-litre straight-six with 355bhp and 500Nm of torque. Top speed is 155mph and 0-62mph takes 4.8 seconds...
