We are proud to present 10 Best Cars of 2018. The cars in this group differ from each other, but all of them are special vehicles designed to deliver great value of driving satisfaction and fulfill their intended mission. We evaluated the cars on the market having in mind two main criteria - the price is less than 80 000 USD (70 000 EUR) and the cars are all new or gone through an extensive facelift. The cars have undergone test drives of thousand kilometers, engine compartments have been examined, infotainment systems have been tested and much more. All these 10 cars pretend to be closer to perfection than anything else on the market nowadays. You can choose between Alfa Romeo Guilia, Audi RS3, Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, Honda Accord, Honda Civic Type R, Mazda MX-5 RF, Mercedes-AMG E 43, Porsche 718 Boxster, VW Golf GTI. Have a look yourselves!
Euro NCAP announced the release of its second series of Highway Assist tests. To ensure the safe adoption of these and other assisted driving technologies by consumers, Euro NCAP has developed a dedicated test and assessment protocol, and a grading system. The latest test series includes ten cars that offer Highway Assist: the Audi Q8, the BMW 3 Series, the Ford Kuga, the Mercedes GLE, the Nissan Juke, the Peugeot 2008, the Renault Clio, the Tesla Model 3, the Volkswagen Passat and the Volvo V60.Increasingly, vehicle manufacturers have been making use of the sensor-sets fitted to their cars to provide more extensive driving support, paving the way for an autonomous future. A prime example is Highway Assist, a technology designed to make motorway driving safer by reducing fatigue and encouraging safe driving. Highway Assist helps the driver to maintain a steady speed, to keep a safe distance from the car in front and to keep the vehicle in the centre of the lane by combining (intelligent) Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Lane Centering (LC). However, the driver always needs to be responsible and engaged behind the wheel, and the assisted system is there to do just that – assist. They are not flawless and should not lead or have full control.
