Autoesque

Stacked LED headlights and prominent radiator shrouds are among the styling changes that give the 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 a more aggressive look. A larger 19-litre (4.1-gallon) fuel tank is also part of the updated specification.

Triumph has updated its Street Scrambler for 2021. Among the cosmetic changes are a new “adventure-oriented” seat cover and a side-mounted embossed aluminium number board. Furthermore, the bike’s engine now complies with Euro 5 emissions standards.

Cadillac has unveiled the production version of the Lyriq, the brand’s first pure-electric SUV. This new addition to the range is built on GM’s Ultium rear-wheel drive modular platform.

Four years after it first arrived at Škoda dealers, the Kodiaq SUV has received a series of updates.

Bentley has introduced the 2022 Continental GT Speed Convertible. This new driver-focused model gains an upgraded 6.0-litre W12 TSI twin-turbocharged engine, which is complemented by various chassis enhancements. However, like the recently-unveiled coupé version, it won’t be available in Europe.

Ford has unveiled a pair of Ranger limited editions, which are due to arrive at dealers across Europe in October 2021.

Hyundai has added a couple of sporty-looking trim grades to its 2021 Tucson line-up. Named N Line and N Line S, they both feature a unique front grille, restyled body-coloured bumpers, a larger rear spoiler and a set of 19” alloy wheels.

According to Hyundai, the upcoming Santa Cruz is a “Sport Adventure Vehicle” which “shatters the SUV and truck segments” – so don’t call it a pick-up…

Against a background of difficult trading conditions, there has been a big change at the top of the UK’s new car registrations league table.
