VIDEO STAR: Driving the new Audi Q5 is like playing a computer game
GRAND I
T’S a fact of modern living that even Tomorrow’s World couldn’t have predicted. The most sophisticated 4x4s on the roads today boast more technology than the original NASA space programme. Many are loaded with the sort of kit that can guide them up the face of a mountain. And when it’s time to head back down, they have descent controls that allow a driver to jump off the pedals and leave everything to the car. Now premium manufacturer

Audi has upped the stakes even more with a satellite navigation set-up that will have computer game geeks drooling. Drive through a major city in the new Q5 – a five-seat baby brother of the heavy duty Q7 sports utility vehicle – and it’s almost like playing Grand Theft Auto in the car as maps appear with textured buildings and lane guidance is shown in 3D for motorway exits.
Powered by
SAT NAV
It’s down to the latest evolution of Audi’s Multi Media Interface infotainment control system which is no longer reliant on DVD, instead deriving its info from a hard disk drive which can also store up to 4,000 songs. This little lot will only present customers with a fiver change from £2,000, but it does include the likes of a TV tuner, speech control, Bluetooth telephone, iPod connection, electric tailgate and parking system. Techno heaven, certainly. And it’s
AUTO
just the tip of an extremely lucrative iceberg. At the launch of the Q5, which goes on sale early in the New Year, I drove a 2.0 TDI Quattro diesel model (likely to be the best seller) that was specced up to the gills with £13,000 worth of optional extras. There was everything from nappa leather sports seats at £800 and 10-spoke alloy wheels (£600) to a slick panoramic sunroof for £1,100 and 3-zone climate control at £450. And for those who want to take advantage of the Q5’s off-road
ability – which doesn’t cost any extra – there’s an uprated Electronic Stability Programme configured to maximise traction and integral ABS that selects the ideal strategy for sand, gravel or loose rocks. Combine that with hill descent control plus a roof rack sensor that can sense a shift in the centre of gravity and you have some serious technology. But here’s the rub – just two per cent of 4x4 owners have ever driven across rough country.

Mercedes-Benz CLC 180 Kompressor SE
A Merc with muscle
EYE-CATCHING: The new Mercedes-Benz CLC
M
ERCEDES-BENZ is banking on eye-catching style, upmarket elegance and a sub-£20,000 price tag to lure more and younger buyers to its latest coupe. The C-Class Sports Coupe proved a goldmine for the German manufacturer, picking off customers from other premium brands en route to shifting 45,000 models in the UK over a seven-year stretch. Now it has been replaced by the CLC, a sleek, muscular model in its own right and while the car bears more than a passing resemblance to its predecessor there are actually 1,100 alterations from small styling cues to major dynamic enhancements. Allowing entry to the Mercedes experience at £19,920 is the tested CLC 180 Kompressor SE while the range also boasts a choice of six petrol and diesel engines with

ONE in six motorcyclist deaths could result from hitting a crash barrier, and in such collisions a rider is 15 times more likely to be killed than a car occupant, according to research from the Institute of Advanced Motorists. IAM director for research and policy Neil Greig said: “Although riders should take responsibility for their own safety, our road authorities must now 'Think Bike' and design crash barriers that give riders protection against

power outputs of 122 to 272bhp and the promise of substantial improvements in fuel consumption. But the most important changes are arguably visual ones – the arrow-shaped front, prominent three-pointed star and imposing headlamps giving the CLC the sort of expensive appeal shared by luxury stablemates the CL and CLS. The C-Class three-door was a rewarding car to drive but the CLC is better, with one of the slickest manual gearshifts around and positive feel from the steering.
plugs & points the aggressive features that cause devastating injuries.” “France has fitted lower rails to prevent riders hitting support posts at the most vulnerable sites on its road network, leading to rates of return of 400%. “If it can be done in France it must be done in the UK.”
The supercharged 1.8-litre engine offers ample pulling power, a sporty soundtrack and average fuel consumption of just below 40mpg. And the drive is matched by the baby Benz’s interior, its smart design, tough materials and use of chrome adding to the youthful image. On the negative side, rear visibility is compromised by the small, angled, back windscreen and the foot-operated handbrake takes some getting used to. Nor is there a huge amount of space in the back, though access is made easy thanks to front seats that fold and lift forward out of the base. Boot capacity though is top notch for a car of this size. All models are well kitted out, the likes of multifunction sports steering wheel, automatic climate control, six airbags, Parktronic front and rear parking aid, split-fold rear seats, Isofix child seat mountings and six speaker CD sound system coming as standard.
