Cupra Leon
You won’t mistake Spain’s Golf GTI for a Seat again, as Cupra ushers in a more purposeful look that brings it into line with the newer (and Cupra-only) Born, Formentor and Tavascan. The Leon follows the closely related VW Golf in gaining some extensive tech and mechanical upgrades for 2024, with longer-range PHEVs, quicker infotainment and – praise be – more buttons and switches on the cards.

Cupra Tavascan
The Tavascan arrives in late 2024 as a sportier take on the VW Group’s MEB-based SUVs, the Audi Q4 E-tron, Volkswagen ID 4 and Skoda Enyaq. At launch, there will be a 335bhp dual-motor, four-wheel drive range-topper capable of reaching 62mph in 5.6sec, plus a less powerful rear-wheel drive model with a range of 340 miles.

Dacia Bigster
Kick-starting the brand’s push into the crucial C-segment, the Bigster is a 4.6-metre-long rival to the Ford Kuga and will cost less than £40,000 when it is launched later this year. It will be based on the same CMF platform as its similar-size Renault Group siblings, the Nissan X-Trail and Renault Austral, and is being engineered from the off with an outright focus on affordability.

Dacia Spring
One of Europe’s cheapest electric cars finally comes to the UK this year, receiving a light interior update in the process. It’s brings improvements to perceived interior quality and technology, all with a confirmed pricetag of £14,995 in the UK. That makes it Britain’s cheapest full-size electric car by quite some margin.
