T’S the ultimate luxury 4x4 – and it has just raised the stakes even higher. This September sees the arrival of the 2011 Range Rover, complete with a new V8 diesel engine and eight-speed transmission, a pair of serious hardware upgrades and some subtle styling tweaks. And for those seeking a more exclusive touch, there is a special 40th anniversary Autobiography Black edition, limited to just 700 cars worldwide. Under the bonnet, the TDV8 3.6-litre engine is replaced by a new 4.4-litre V8 with parallel sequential turbocharging and is unique to the Range Rover. Despite the extra performance, this powerplant is cleaner too, delivering even lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions than its predecessor. The combined cycle fuel consumption of the new LR-TDV8 4.4-litre is 30.1mpg, making this the first Range Rover ever to better 30mpg. With 313PS and 700Nm torque, the car’s new powertrain reduces CO2 emissions by 14 per cent from 294g/km to 253g/km – helped by its mating with a new, electronically controlled, 8-speed automatic transmission. It means the Range Rover can hit 60mph in a fleeting 7.5 seconds, complete the 50mph-70mph dash in another 4.0 seconds and manage a top speed of 130 rather than 125mph. To reflect the performance of the

ROVER THE TOP: The new 2011 Range Rover, which boasts a host of improvements and includes in the range the special 40th anniversary Autobiography Black edition, limited to just 700 cars worldwide new 4.4-litre DV8, diesel models are fitted with the same Brembo-based braking system as the 5.0-litre supercharged model. Driver controls include steering wheel-mounted paddle shifts as standard, while the CommandShift lever is replaced by a rotary knob for selecting park, reverse, neutral,
drive or sport mode. Retained for 2011is the 5.0-litre LR-V8 supercharged petrol engine married to the six-speed auto transmission introduced last year. Inside the cabin there are optional lit treadplates for the front doors while improvements to the exterior include new 'Jupiter'
grilles and side vents for the diesel models. And a new Exterior Design Pack option offers a more individual look with eight new colours and five fresh alloy wheel designs. To strengthen the Range Rover’s hardware there are improvements to the Terrain Response system in
the shape of Hill Start Assist and Gradient Acceleration Control. The ultimate Range Rover, the Autobiography Black 40th anniversary limited edition, is claimed to be the last word in bespoke vehicles with its Barolo Black finish, 20-inch alloy wheels, and front grille with Titan mesh.

ENGLAND captain Steven Gerrard has topped a poll of players in the 2010 FIFA World Cup squad who motorists would most like to have to change a tyre on their car. The Liverpool midfielder beat team mates Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Peter Crouch and John Terry in the survey carried out for independent tyre distribution network Protyre. Goalkeeper David James was sixth in the poll with eight per cent of the vote – but the hapless Robert Green only got one per cent.
ONE of ● Britain’s best loved sportscars,
the MGB tourer, has claimed supercar status after being sold at auction for £141,922. The 1964 model is one of 387,000 MGB tourers produced in the 18 years from 1962, its sale price a staggering 167 times greater than its cost at the time of manufacture, and well above its auction estimate. The secret of its astounding value – which was sealed at the auction by classic car specialist, Historics at Brooklands – lies in its unique history. Confirmed as the last-known genuine works MGB rally car, it competed in major international competition until being consigned to a garage in 1975. Plucked from obscurity, the car was restored with no expense spared, before returning to the public gaze in 2008. Bought at the Historics’ auction by an enthusiast, it will continue to be seen at major motoring events in Britain.
LEAN MACHINE: The stylish second generation SEAT Leon Ecomotive has had its CO2 emissions slashed to 99g/km
SEAT launches a new eco assault
W
ITH a design chief who made his mark at Lamborghini and a racy yet affordable model line-up it’s little surprise that SEAT boasts the youngest average age of car buyers in Europe. And while most motor manufacturers strive to perform ever more responsibly, the Spanish car maker has made ‘going green’ an absolute mission. SEAT is now raising the stakes with the arrival of three Ecomotive-badged models – the Leon, Altea and Altea XL – each aimed at cutting emissions and improving economy. Equally important though is that the company’s auto emocion trademark and sporty credentials that have made SEAT fans so passionate about the marque are not compromised. Leading the way is the Leon Ecomotive, now in its second generation and with CO2 emissions slashed to 99g/km -
by MIKE TORPEY the same as the original Ibiza Ecomotive - while its claimed average fuel economy figure of 74.3mpg gives the Leon a range of close to 900 miles between fill-ups. It also means the car escapes road tax and congestion charge fees. Central to it all is one of SEAT’s newest and most efficient engines, the 105PS 1.6-litre TDI CR unit with the latest common rail technology and diesel particulate filter. Add to the equation start/stop technology and a brake energy recovery system, along with gearshift prompts plus low rolling resistance tyres and you have a clean, green combination. There can be few better places to assess the value of a car’s stop/start system than in central London – provided you have the patience of a saint. A 32-mile route in SEAT’s new Leon Ecomotive took 106 minutes. Half that distance in the more spacious Altea
model was close to the hour. And in each case the engine was switching on and off like a shaky lightbulb. These were extreme conditions – fag end of the rush hour – yet the car returned an average 48.3mpg, which in the circumstances was commendable. Despite a drop in cubic capacity, the Leon’s new powerplant still produces 105PS, identical to the previous 1.9-litre turbodiesel, yet thanks to its new technology the car’s emissions have dropped from 119g/km
previously to the current 99g/km. Acceleration, though, is a reasonable 0-62 in 11.5 seconds with top speed of 118mph, testimony to the fact that you don’t need to sacrifice spirit to achieve greener motoring. Now with an overall engine line-up of six petrol and four turbodiesel units, the Leon is a car universally loved by illusionists - on the one hand funky, on the other a five-seater with way more space than its compact dimensions might suggest. And with hundreds of
GREEN SHOOTS: The SEAT Altea and Altea XL
orders already under its belt thanks to the largest single fleet deal to date – 500 new Leon Ecomotives to British Gas – the omens already look good. Also making their debut this month are two other Ecomotives in the shape of the larger Altea and Altea XL. While these siblings share the same 1.6-litre TDI CR engine, they don’t have the Leon’s aerodynamic adjustments. So their economy and emissions figures aren’t quite so impressive. That said, 119g/km of CO2 coupled with average fuel economy of 62.8mpg is half decent. All three cars are available in both S and SE spec, and all feature the likes of air-con, 16-inch alloys, electric windows, ESP, ABS, TSC, hill hold control and radio/CD with MP3 compatibility. Prices start at £16,840 for the Leon Ecomotive S. The Altea Ecomotive starts at £16,725 for the S model while the Altea XL Ecomotive S is £17,425.

Nissan Cube 1.6 Kaizen
It’s hip to be square
URBAN WARRIOR: The quirky Nissan Cube is a real head-turner
A
N interesting one for you. What’s the difference between a Bentley Azure T and a Nissan Cube? Here’s a clue – one is long, elegant and luxurious, the other short, boxy and functional. Oh, and the Bentley costs £230,000 more than the Nissan. The answer though is this. Cruise around or pick a prime parking spot in the stunning convertible Bentley and a predictably large number of people will give it a second glance. Drive the Cube though and EVERYBODY looks; motorists, pedestrians, schoolkids, police officers – some snigger, some just gawp, but they all stop and stare. That says an awful lot for the shape of what Nissan describes as its exclusive urban superstar, which went on sale in January and costs from £14,000. The Cube is actually a style
road
TEST
with MIKE TORPEY
statement based on a box and boasts a deceptively large interior with ‘Jacuzzi Curve’ layout. It fits five with ease and though the boot is small, you can still squeeze a fair amount of clobber aboard by sliding the rear seats forward. Boot access is also helped by a side-hinged tailgate. Up front the huge glass area and panoramic roof ensure a light, airy environment and good visibility ahead and to the sides while the wave design of the dash area, assorted cup holders and circular heating dials look fresh and funky.
At present the only engine available is a 1.6-litre petrol unit producing 108bhp, though a 1.5 diesel is due soon. Urban conditions are the ideal for Cube with its composed ride and safe handling, and I was impressed with the way it performed on two long motorway journeys. So long as you aren’t in a hurry to get up to speed – acceleration is very lethargic – the Nissan scoots along extremely well, surprising other drivers as it whizzes by. On the down side, it doesn’t like strong sidewinds and couldn’t manage anywhere near the claimed average fuel figure of 42.8mpg, though it was worked hard. Cube’s CO2 emissions of 151g/km are quite high, probably due to that upright and not very dynamic shape, meaning buyers will have to pay £120 road tax. All models come with air-con, cruise control, glass roof, privacy

Kia announces safety recall for Picanto and cee’d models
driver deals
KIA is recalling a number of cee’d and Picanto models on safety grounds. The Korean manufacturer has identified that up to 468 cee’d models could suffer from insufficient brake force from the master cylinder on cars with Electronic Stability Programme
systems. Owners of the cee’d five-door, SW and three-door compact cars built between April 1, 2008, and March 30, 2009, are being contacted to arrange for no-cost work to be carried out to replace the brake master cylinder.
The company stresses it is not aware of any accidents having occurred in the UK because of the issue. In the case of Picanto, the harsh winter conditions have revealed that where high levels of de-icing materials have been used there is a possibility that
3 4 4 3 3
material in the fuel filter neck seal could be damaged and a fuel leak could occur. The owners of 6,585 Picantos built between November 2009 and February 2010 are being contacted to arrange for the fuel-filler neck to be replaced free of charge.
