Coming in 2013
Ford Mondeo
What is it? New version of Fords family car
Price from 18,000 (est)
Like the latest Focus and new Kuga, the next Mondeo will be a global model. The UK version will look almost identical to the US Ford Fusion that will be unveiled - in concept car form - at the Detroit motor show in January 2012.
Ford insiders have told us that the design will be strongly influenced by the Evos concept car that made its debut at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show.
Fisker Nina
What is it? Entry-level range-extender saloon
Price from 40,000 (est)
A smaller, cheaper model is central to Fiskers ambitious expansion plans. The Nina is just that. Itll use range-extender technology like the larger Karma, but will be closer in size to if slightly larger than a BMW 3 Series.
Infiniti G
What is it? New BMW 3 Series rival with small diesel engines
Price from 25,000 (est)
As with the current model, Infinitis next G Series saloon will rival the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series, but will be bigger than both. Mercedes four-cylinder diesel engines will provide wider appeal.
Mazda 6
What is it? Bolder, lighter family car, with Skyactiv technology
Price from 19,000 (est)
Mazdas new 6 is expected to resemble the Takeri concept car (above). Skyactiv technology means the new 6 will be lighter and more efficient than the current car.
