One interesting model from the previous generation that I assume they will be continuing on is the plug-in Diesel hybrids. Of course being the US and dieselgate we'll never see these but the combination of diesel and a PHEV is very interesting as that isn't something I've seen on many other Euro cars (or maybe I'm not paying attention enough ). Apparently it gets 35 miles electric (I'm assuming this is WLTP) while still retaining the torque and efficiency if a diesel engine when not using electric. Pretty neat.
