It's not a new body, but CUPRA is offering the 'new' Leon VZ for this year.
The Honda Civic Type-R FL5 was new to the market last year.
The Toyota Corolla TCR was new to the market last year (but only currently in South America).
The Lynk & Co 03 FL (for 'facelift') was introduced last year, marking an evolution for the 03 TCR.
GRM is developing a new model Peugeot 308 TCR for release later this year.
However, it's clear that there are fewer cars coming out of the VAG Group than previously (at the peak there were Volkswagen, Audi and SEAT and with Volkswagen long gone and Audi scaling back customer support we're left with predominantly CUPRA now).
The Hyundai Elantra N is in its fourth year now, and might be expected to get a facelift soon.
The challenges of smaller car builders offering truly global customer support are clear. The larger firms with more resources (VAG) can manage this easier. Hence, it seems at the moment, newer cars are more likely to stay regional (i.e. Toyota, Peugeot).
