Hyundai Tucson 48V diesel mild hybrid: will be marketed mainly in Europe, powertrain is based on HMG’s existing 2.0-litre diesel

Kia Niro EV: was revealed to journalists in May so this was its public world premiere, claimed range of up to 380km for variants powered by a 64kWh lithium-polymer battery pack or up to 240km from a 39.2kWh pack which is fitted to less expensive versions

Kia Sportage facelift and 48V diesel mild hybrid: same 2.0-litre engine as in the Hyundai Tucson and the 1.7-litre diesel is replaced by a new ‘U3’ 1.6
