YBRID cars aren’t generally associated with cutting edge style and spirited performance. But the new Honda CR-Z has a large helping of both, so much so that the Japanese producer is describing its new star as ‘an urban street racer with a conscience’. It’s certainly a model that stands out from the crowd and anyone who remembers the CRX from the 1980s with its shallow raked roofline and split level rear glass hatch will see the resemblance. And that’s absolutely intentional, because Honda planned the CR-Z as a 21st Century re-thinking of that car. The CR-Z is basically a compact two plus two coupe with some serious low-slung elegance and comes in three trim grades – S, Sport and GT – with prices from £16,999. It is powered by Honda’s petrol-electric IMA system – a 1.5-litre engine boosted by an electric motor, the engine producing 114PS and motor 14PS. Both the power and torque come from way down the rev range – between 1,000 and 1,500rpm – so initial acceleration is stronger, ideal for stop/start driving in urban conditions and hence the street racer link. The upshot is a 0-62mph time of 9.9 seconds – not exactly up there with the Audi TT but quite handy –
The street racer with a conscience and on to a top speed of 124mph. Better still for a car with sporty pretensions, the hybrid system and lightweight construction combine with the car’s stop-start technology to allow an average fuel return of 56.4 miles per gallon and CO2 emissions of 117g/km. That’s not only well better than rivals like the Volkswagen Scirocco TDI and newly launched Peugeot RCZ but also keeps the Honda below the 120g/km level and into the £35 a year road tax band. A low driving position and short shift six-speed manual gearbox add to the on-road experience and a 3-Mode Drive System offers a choice of different settings – Normal, Sport and Econ. As its name suggests, Econ mode prioritises fuel economy while Normal provides a balance between performance, economy and emissions. Switch between the two
FIRM OFFER: The CR-Z’s stiff suspension in Sport mode offers a boneshaking ride to spirited drivers and you hardly notice any change. Only when the Sport button is engaged do you really feel a difference as the steering weights up, the throttle response sharpens and the electric motor gives more assistance. The CR-Z really impresses in this mode and is an enjoyable car to drive, though you really feel the stiff chassis on uneven roads –

it’s a real boneshaker. Inside, the driver is faced with what you might imagine the console of a spacecraft to look like – lots of buttons, neon lights that change colour depending on the mode selected, an Eco bar and pods either side of the multi-function steering wheel. It’s attractive but there’s a bit too much going on for my simple tastes.

Otherwise there’s plenty of space up front, the seats are well designed and feel durable and there’s a decent amount of room in the boot. On the downside, the rear seats are only big enough for young children as leg and headroom is very restricted and the horizontal beam separating the two rear windscreens obstructs vision and is very frustrating. Overall though, this is a car that offers something different – great looks (especially in black or white), eco awareness, an engaging drive and performance you don’t expect from a hybrid. All versions are well equipped with six airbags, active headrests, vehicle stability assist, climate control, six-speaker CD player and an engine start button. Prices are £16,999 for the CR-Z S model, £17,999 for Sport and £19,999 for GT.

BMW’s ● cleanest and greenest 3 Series,
the 320d EfficientDynamics Saloon, has proved its credentials by travelling 1,013 miles on a single tank of fuel. The new BMW was filled up before going through the Channel Tunnel and made it to the company’s home city of Munich, then as far as Lille in northern France on the return leg before needing to be topped up.

SAFETY FAST: Volvo’s new S60 boasts high performance plus a raft of high-tech safety features including automatic braking assistance
Latest Volvo has BMW in its sights
V
OLVO is to battle BMW with a new executive saloon that’s a credible alternative to the benchmark 3 Series. Featuring a class-leading pedestrian detection system among an armoury of safety devices, the latest Volvo S60 is as smart as it’s sophisticated. Priced from £23,295, the Swedish newcomer also has the Audi A4, Mercedes C-Class and Vauxhall Insignia in its sights. Billed as the most dynamic Volvo ever, the S60 is arriving at a critical time for the Scandinavian firm which is being sold by Ford to Chinese auto maker Geely. Not only does the S60 look the part with sleek body lines, it also handles. When it goes on sale in July it will be available initially with two diesel engines and a range-topping, six-cylinder petrol automatic complete with all-wheel drive. Volvo has worked hard to stiffen the suspension and improve steering response
by CHRIS RUSSON
and on the road the S60 is agile and quick. All versions of the S60 feature Volvo’s City Safety system which is designed to prevent rear end shunts in traffic. Using radar sensors mounted in the grille to pick up vehicles in front, the car will stop automatically if it gets too close and the driver has failed to notice a collision is imminent. Volvo is adamant the recent mishap when the system failed during a public demonstration was down to a technical glitch with a robotic pre-production model. Both the anti-collision system and the pedestrian detection device gave visual and loud audible warnings as soon as a potential emergency is detected and only apply emergency braking if the driver has failed to react. While the City Safety set up is standard on the S60 the rest of the high tech features are
extra, costing up to £1,450, and are bundled together in a Driver Support Pack. The kit includes lane departure warning, blind spot alerts, adaptive cruise control and pedestrian detection and all worked correctly during our test drives in the S60. Adaptive cruise control, which maintains a pre-set safe distance from the vehicle in front, can now bring the S60 to a halt in traffic and move away again automatically – although it will cut out if the car is stationary for more than four seconds.
The pedestrian safety system uses a camera as well as radar and is calibrated to detect an adult or child in front of the car. At speeds of up to 20mph the warnings will be activated if no action is taken by the driver, emergency braking begins and the car is brought to an abrupt stop. Other standard features include cruise control and a five-inch full colour display screen while mid-range SE models, priced from £25,295, feature Bluetooth phone connectivity, auto dim mirrors
BACK-UP SYSTEMS: The S60 has features designed to protect against rearend shunts
and a reversing camera among additional equipment. Top specification SE Lux cars cost from £27,096 and have ‘look round corner’ headlamps, leather and memory seats. The five cylinder diesel engine is used in two forms and both have a distinctive note which adds character. The 304bhp, turbocharged six -cylinder, on the other hand, is as refined as it is potent. It’s priced from £35,695 and with a 0 to 60mph acceleration of 6.2 seconds it is taking high performance saloons head on. The diesels are brisk too, with a two-litre boosted to 163bhp giving 0 to 60 in 8.7 seconds while the 2.4-litre pumps out 205bhp and is almost 1.5 seconds quicker. Both can average more than 50mpg with CO2 figures of 139g/km while the petrol S60 will return around 28mpg overall with emissions of 230. An eco version with CO2 down to 115g/km is slated for next year with a 240bhp two-litre turbo petrol S60 due out before the end of this year.

Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi KX-2 4WD
California Dreamin’
MASSIVE HIT: The new Sorento is a big improvement on the old model and destined to be a popular buy
T
HE head honchos at Kia decided to try a spot of California dreamin’ when their priority turned to perfecting a new Sorento 4x4. Conscious that today’s SUV buyers are younger, often female and increasingly want their car for family use, the Koreans looked to a part of the world where lifestyle is all important. And with design chief Peter Schreyer, the man behind the original Audi TT, at the helm, the West Coast gurus produced a car that’s destined to be a massive hit. If the original Sorento was more the traditional off-road vehicle, the new model not only looks far sleeker, but is more upmarket, more efficient and far better to drive. In fact, if I had a spare 20 grand I’d buy one tomorrow. For starters the car now has a monocoque chassis instead of the last model’s ladder frame

arrangement, making it more refined for everyday driving. Something Kia deemed essential was to provide seven seats, though a five-seat option remains available, to satisfy buyers who see the Sorento as an alternative to a people carrier. Not only does it succeed but it trumps several of the popular specialist MPVs in that its two individual third row seats are easily manoeuvred and plenty large enough for adults. Back row access is also easy – you
just pull two tabs – and when not required the seats fold fully flat leaving a huge boot. In no way, though, does the Kia look like a big, bulky vehicle. On the contrary, it sits closer to the ground and is slightly longer than before. Kia calls it ‘urban sophistication’ and certainly there’s plenty of that, from the cleaner engines, more refined driving experience and premium feel of the overall product. The cabin styling is best described as simple but smart, standard spec is comprehensive and head, shoulder and legroom – including in the centre second row position – is ample. Seven of the eight models in the Sorento line-up feature the new 2.2-litre CRDi ‘R’ diesel engine first seen in the 2010 facelifted Kia Sedona, though there is still a petrol alternative in the shape of the 2.4-litre car that kicks off the range at £20,495. The diesel is strong,

Mazda set their sales for the fleets with upgraded model
driver deals
IMPROVED fuel economy and lowered emissions will make the newly upgraded Mazda6 a big hit with company car drivers. That’s the Japanese company’s view of the model that put the brand on the fleet map almost a decade ago. The new 19-strong range
features refreshed exterior and interior styling, additional equipment and a range of technical enhancements that improve fuel economy by up to 6.4 per cent and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 6.1 per cent. Emissions have been cut by up to 10g/km on a model for model
basis delivering benefit-in-kind tax savings for company car drivers and financial savings on other vehicle-related taxes for companies. Mazda expects to sell more than 10,500 Mazda6 models in the next 10 months, of which around 72 per cent are predicted

to be fleet sales. Buyers have a choice of hatchback and estate models there is no saloon option in the new upgraded Mazda6 line-up three petrol and three diesel engine options and four equipment levels - S, TS, TS2, and Sport.
