So, to kickstart your 2019, we’re bringing you our top pick of new models entering the market this year.

And for the Toy Story fans - don’t forget to head over to Youtube for the trailer when you’ve finished reading!

Introducing Jaguar’s first all-electric model, the I-Pace. We can all agree the I-Pace looks spectacular, but it’s handling, and performance is what helped it gain Best German Car of The Year Award 2019.

And if the Germans think it’s good, it must damn good!

3. Peugeot 508 SW

The previous Peugeot 508 SW may have lacked a little style however Peugeot have learned from their mistakes and taken the 508 to new heights.

Its new makeover has given the 508 a stylish, edgy exterior with an equally smart cabin. Initially, the 508 will only be available with a choice of petrol or diesel engines, however a plug-in hybrid will likely be available by the autumn.

4. DS 3 Crossback

On sale by spring 2019, the new and improved DS 3 Crossback is another one to watch in the ever-growing SUV market.

It’s overall appearance still bares strong resemblance to the original model, however DS have made some exciting changes to provide a high-end luxurious finish.

This includes its super flush fitting door handles which appear only when needed, staying tucked up within the bodywork the rest of the time.

5. Audi e-tron

Audi’s first mainstream electric car is certainly one to get excited about and it will be a strong rival for the formerly mentioned Jaguar I-Pace.

It’s got an abundance of space and luxury, and they’ve even spared a thought for the vegans by producing an interior completely void of animal-based products. Instead the interior is built entirely of sustainable materials – nice work Audi!

6. BMW 3 Series
