A Rolleston first for Australasia  by Mike Isle

Internet to drive census count

The ever-shifting shape of New Zealand will come under scrutiny in the 2018 census …

took less than seven months. Waitaha Special Needs Day School will cater to 50 children initially, but has built-in capacity for more by way of satellite provision — this increases the roll to over 80 students. Mrs Dodds has a staff of 25 teachers, 30 support personnel at her new school and at the satellite facilities at West Rolleston Primary and Rolleston College. A further satellite facility is presently under construction at Halswell West School in Christchurch. It will be opened at the beginning of 2019. Mrs Dodds said the school and its satellites provided safe, secure, respectful facilities for those with disabilities to learn to evolve and to thrive — to be the very best that they can be. However, it is not all work. The

blessing and returning of the sod was conducted on Monday 22nd January with more than 100 parents, students and Ministry of Education officials. “I think the most amazing thing for us was to see the joy in the kids’ faces. The way they looked at the amazing playground, with its fabulous recreational facilities—including a bike track — was amazing. The kids loved it!” “It is all pretty groundbreaking really,” adds Mrs Dodds. “We believe our new school in Rolleston is the first in Australasia to share a site with a mainstream school. And that is why we have all worked to get it right for the school, for our community and, of course, for the kids. “I am a very proud principal today,“ she said. 

She describes the new facility as quiet, peaceful, harmonious — almost serene. “A joy to be in. And a joy to work in.” Sentiments shared by her acting deputy principal, Sara Moppett. ‘Harmonious’ is also a word used to describe the process of bringing the new school into being. “Our new facility is next to Lemonwood Grove — Te Uru Tarata Full Primary, and whilst we don’t share facilities, the respective Boards of Trustees staff, Ministry of Education and Southbase have collaborated right from the outset. It’s been a very respectful, and positive process. We agreed to harmonise our school colours,” Mrs Dodds said to portray the collaboration and partnership between the schools. However, Mrs Dodds admits to it being a taxing project. “It is twice the size of our previous school. On top of that, we had our self-imposed edict of ‘Excellence in Special Education’ and everything we did, every decision we made, was made with that, our students, our staff and our community of Rolleston in mind. We were operating a fully functioning school and managing a huge building project at the same time. “ And it was from Rolleston that the school got perhaps its biggest boost. All buildings were planned and fabricated off-site using local company Concision. It was then a relatively simple matter of assembly onsite by the Southbase team.

But on the track it’s a different matter. Sidecar racing came out of the post-war craze for motor sports, and it was a world of thrills without health and safety. Road-going bikes were chopped down and augmented with what was even at the time called ‘scaffolding’ to allow a team of two to dare tracks built on nowdefunct UK airbases and dirt ovals. As time went by the machines drew further away from motorcycles as we know them, and the sport became what is is now. That is to say, a highoctane ballet in which two people and

a powerful engine combine athletics, daring, acrobatics and driving skill to achieve stunning speeds. If you haven’t seen this kind of motor racing in action, then you owe it to yourself to have a closer look. At those speeds, on those highly tuned machines, low to the ground and aerodynamically slippery, the team of two must be in perfect harmony. Think of those daring sailors leaning out to trim the balance of a racing sailboat — but over unforgiving earth instead of water. 

Meeting the neighbourhood There’s nothing like a proper outdoor picnic in summertime - part of the whole experience is all the little details, like folding up the big woolly blanket from the back of the car, packing the basket or chillybin, and setting out all the dishes in their tiny travel sizes in the shade.

This summer New World Rolleston have supported a chain of picnics in parks across the Selwyn region, and there are more to come as a very hot February rolls on. Next on the calendar is a great chance to meet friends and neighbours in Lincoln, with entertainment and fun for the kids making the perfect backdrop for a picnic dinner. Roll out a blanket at the Lincoln Events Centre this Thursday, February

1, and enjoy a free sausage sizzle, a bouncy castle, face-painting, live music and much more. It’s free to come along and enjoy the atmosphere, grab a spot and roll out a blanket between 5.30pm and 7.30pm. Another similar picnic event will be held at the Rhodes Domain in Tai Tapu exactly a week later on February 8, once again from 5.30pm to 7.30pm. Major sponsors New World Rolleston will of course have plenty of picnic supplies in store. Selwyn’s parks have certainly been the place to be this summer. 

Community Centre gets Selwyn kids moving  by Mike Isle

Rolleston Community Centre’s Mini Gym and Baby Gym classes are proving a hit with Selwyn children.

 George (three) from Rolleston looks forward to Mini Gym classes every week

The classes provide a safe, fun and interactive environment for young children to play, dance and engage with each other, with play circuits, music and dance activities. Classes help children establish foundation skills for whole brain learning through these fun activities focused on motor coordination, cognitive development, concentration and improving learning skills. Three-year-old George from Rolleston, has been enjoying attending the classes and his mum Rebekah Johnstone says he is always asking when the next class is. “This class is great, it gets George out socialising and having fun with other kids his age. “It’s easy, entertaining and it’s the sort of activities you wouldn’t do at home,” Ms Johnstone says. The programme is designed for children to move in their natural way, when they are ready. It allows them to self-direct their own learning by having the power to choose what they do. Parents and caregivers are able to support their children and encourage them by being active participants themselves. Mini Gym and Baby Gym

instructor at the community centre, Tania Taylor, says getting children moving and being active is a passion of hers. “I love watching the connections between children and their parents or caregivers, and seeing the joy on each of their faces when a child accomplishes something new. “This is not work for me, I love it. I think I am learning more from the children, than they’re learning from me,” Mrs Taylor says. Each week she sets up the classes differently, with lots of different gym gear to challenge the children in different ways. Classes are $5 per child, per session. Class times: Mondays and Fridays, 9.30–10.15am Mini Gym for 1–2 year olds Mondays, 11–11.45am Mini Gym for 2–3 year olds Mondays, 11.45am–12.30pm Mini Gym for 3–5 year olds Fridays, 10.15–11am Mini Gym for 2–5 year olds Mondays, 10.15–11am Baby Gym Babies need to be able to hold their heads up for this class. Please bring a blanket. 

Despite New Zealand tumbling out of the U19 Cricket World Cup after a loss to Afghanistan, and an early injury, Lincoln University cricket scholar Connor Sullivan has happy memories of the event. “My highlight of the world cup so far, although being injured since the first game, would definitely have to be walking out on Bay Oval in Tauranga for the World Cup opener,” Connor said. “Singing the anthem with the New Zealand uniform on before playing in what was a convincing win over the West Indies, was definitely an experience I will never forget.” Even though Lincoln will host 17 games of the tournament, including the Plate final on Sunday, Connor has not had the chance to play at home, with New Zealand playing at Hagley Oval when in Christchurch. The 19-year-old landscape architecture student chose to study at Lincoln because of his interest in design, and also because of the sports facilities Lincoln has to offer. Born in Southern Cross, Western Australia, he came to live in Christchurch when he was two. “I grew my passion for cricket really from just hitting a ball around in the backyard with dad and my mates at school. Playing it with my mates on a Saturday not having to worry about anything else but the game was a

Prison officer receives commendation

Intersection upgrade to begin

 by Mike Isle

Gary Smallridge, a principal corrections officer at Christchurch Men’s Prison, has been awarded a Corrections Chief Executive’s Commendation for his work in the prison’s youth unit.

A major project to install traffic lights at the Masefield Drive/ Rolleston Drive intersection in Rolleston is about to get under way.

Gary, who was one of the organisers of the prison marathon featured in last week’s Record, received his award at a ceremony on January 19 attended by family and friends. Acting prison director, David Patterson, paid tribute to Gary and his team and their efforts to connect and engage with the young men in the youth unit. “They have built strong relationships across the prison and partnering agencies, and  Gary Smallridge (left) is presented with his award by these have resulted in a wideCorrections’ Acting Chief Executive, Jeremy Lightfoot ranging programme that is making significant changes in the lives Gary says the award is a tribute of these young men, which helps to keep to all the staff in the unit and the our communities safer. commitment of the young men in “Youth prisoners can present different their care. challenges, and Gary will say that on the ”Working in the youth unit is whole, the boys in the unit are good boys extremely rewarding and challenging,” who have made bad choices.

He is firm, fair and well respected develop the skills and self-belief that for that. will lead them to make better decisions “This award is richly deserved.” in future.” 

The works, due to begin in early February, include cycle lanes and footpaths (both separate and shared), as well as storm water work and road resurfacing. Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton said the upgrade will bring long-term benefits to the community and was part of a comprehensive upgrade to future-proof this busy area of Rolleston. “This is a major project in the Rolleston Town Centre Masterplan to vastly improve safety while providing for increased vehicle, cycle and pedestrian traffic through this busy intersection,” he said. “Although there will be some shortterm inconvenience to motorists, the new layout will bring improved safety and traffic flow. It also provides for traffic associated with the Christchurch Southern Motorway.” Construction is programmed to start on February 1, with completion in June. There will be some disruption to traffic during the construction period, with temporary lower speed limits and other restrictions such as lane shifts and stop-go controls.

A 30km/h speed limit will be in place around the worksite. Road users are asked to take care, follow onsite signage, and be alert to changes in traffic management. Construction will be from 7am– 6pm, Monday to Sunday and overnight from 6pm–6am, Sunday to Thursday. Residents will be notified prior to night work. The works will have no planned impact on power, phone or internet, water or gas services. No parking cones will be in place. The area is to be kept clear to allow enough space for traffic lanes and the worksite, and the bus stop in front of Countdown may need to be closed at times. A temporary bus stop will be available in front of 51 Rolleston Drive during these times. All works are subject to weather and onsite conditions. Opus International Consultants Ltd have designed the new intersection layout, with Fulton Hogan Ltd awarded the construction contract. The total project cost including design, construction and other work, is approximately $1.4 million. 

Motor fest huge success  by Mike Isle

This year’s inaugural Jones Road Auto Motor Fest proved to be a huge success, with $28,000 donated from the event to St John.

 Principal Organiser John Winchester (right), Jones Road Auto Owner Nigel Fleck (centre) present the cheque for twenty eight thousand dollars to St John Area Chairman John Sunckell

John Winchester presented the cheque on behalf of the fest’s volunteer team. He spoke to those present about the work that went into putting the inaugural event together and the hard work St John volunteers undertake for their community every day. “As a community, we appreciate the investment that St John has made in the Selwyn central area and we need to support St John to do their good work. I know personally that I would not be here, was it not for St John and their local stations,” he said. John Sunckell, Area Committee chairman for the Selwyn Central St John area, thanked everyone involved in making the day a success. Another of the volunteer organisers, Craig

Wilson said the fest attracted over 35 sponsors, many of them local, and an estimated 850 cars, trucks and motorbikes on show. “We estimate conservatively, six thousand people came through the gate over the day and now we are able to give a cheque to St John for $28,000. “For year one we could not have been more pleased.” Organisers are hoping for an annual event and are looking for new volunteers and sponsors to help drive it.

Heritage focus in District Plan review

A major review of the Selwyn District Plan has begun with an initial focus on identifying heritage items of cultural and historic value, such as historic buildings, places or monuments that should be included. There are over 120 heritage items currently listed in Appendix 3 of both the Rural and Township volumes of the plan, which is available online at eplan. selwyn.govt.nz/#!Rules/0/0/0/0 “We want to know whether there are any other assets that the public believes have heritage value and need to be protected for our current and future generations living in the district,” said environmental services manager Tim Harris. “A district plan is essentially a ‘rule book’, which sets district-wide rules for sustainably managing our natural and physical resources; so it’s important that people get involved in the review of our current plan and have a say about what can and cannot be done on land, and how it can be developed. “We’ve already talked to a number of stakeholders and landowners who have been telling us what’s working well and what’s not. “But 2018 is the year when the proposed changes to the current

plan will start taking more shape. We expect to engage and seek input from our ratepayers and stakeholders this year on a wide range of topics. This will help ensure we end up with a plan that sets a clear direction for our district’s development and reflects our communities’ needs and expectations,” Mr Harris said. The proposed District Plan is scheduled to be notified in 2020. Residents can keep up to date through the website at selwyndistrictplan.co.nz. “To make it as easy as possible for people to share their views and comments, we’ll be offering a range of ways that people can interact with the review, including drop-in sessions and online platforms as well as formal submission processes,” Mr Harris says. Nominations for new heritage items close at 5pm on Monday, March 5.

Internet to drive census count Lighting up the skies

 by Mike Isle

 by Andy Bryenton

The ever-shifting shape of New Zealand will come under scrutiny in the 2018 census.

They say that the sound of a full orchestra working in harmony can ignite sparks of inspiration and vision.

 Census presents a snapshot of New Zealand

New Zealand holds a census every five years. The last one was in 2013 and this year it will take place on Tuesday 6 March with Statistics New Zealand aiming to collect most of the information it needs online. In February, they will send or deliver an access code to every household in New Zealand. Each household will have a unique code. Occupiers of the household can then use that code to access and complete the census form online on or before March 6 2018. People preferring paper forms will be able to request them after they receive their letter and access code from Statistics New Zealand, who will send them out for return post-free. The general manager of the 2018 Census, Denise McGregor, said the census is an important event and a crucial tool in planning New Zealand’s future.

“Because the information we collect is about everyone in New Zealand, it can be used to make informed decisions and plans about services and where they are most needed. Those services include hospitals, kohanga reo, schools, roads and public transport,” she said. However, personal information is kept strictly private, says Ms McGregor. “The information you share will be kept confidential by Statistics New Zealand and is protected by the Statistics Act 1975. Statistics New Zealand do not share information that can identify you as an individual with anyone.” Everybody who is in New Zealand on census day — March 6 — should take part, and that includes tourists and visitors. Further information on the 2018 Census can be obtained from the Statistics New Zealand website: census. govt.nz. 

Down the centuries artists, inventors and even crime solvers have listened to classical music to seek that spark of genius. Now the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra are combining the best of this very Western European artform with a spectacular first devised in ancient China — the fireworks display. On the February 11, Christchurch’s Hagley Park will light up in all the colours of the rainbow, as skilled pyrotechnicians join forces with a team of highly trained musicians and conductor Kenneth Young. As the sun sets the music will begin, covering compositions by the classical masters as well as favourite tracks from the world of cinema. There will be special appearances by Harry Grigg, Tama Waipara, Jennine Bailey and a special guest appearance by Fuzhun, the winners of the Canterbury Regional Smokefree Rockquest. It’s as the day draws to a close, that the centrepiece of Sparks 2018 comes together. As the orchestra play the stirring, fantastical Sorcerer’s Apprentice — made famous by Walt

Disney’s beloved cartoon adaptation — a team of professional fireworks coordinators will set off precisely timed showers of pyrotechnic colour. All of this is sure to draw a major crowd, especially as this is a free event for the whole family. The organisers advise staking-out a good picnic space early, as the pre-show entertainment begins at 5.30pm. The charity of choice for this year’s Sparks concert is St John Ambulance service, and their collectors will be out in force filling buckets of gold coins to keep their vital service in action and saving lives. 

Every site is sold out well in advance, the fields are prepared and levelled, the working crews are poised to erect acres of canvas and kilometres of rope, and an army of exhibitors are polishing their machines, their sales pitches and their hoardings for the biggest event on the southern rural calendar — the Southern Field Days, held this year in the town of Waimumu near Gore. Like the great national field days at Mystery Creek, this is set to be a feast for the eyes, with all the latest in technology on display. It’s also a feast in the more traditional sense, with plenty to sample, eat, drink and taste as patrons take in the huge complex of stalls, tents and marquees making up the site. Every two years the show returns to the deep south, and each time it’s become bigger. This year from February 14 to February 16, an otherwise unassuming field just south of Gore will become a temporary combination of a city, carnival and sales forecourt, along with the venue for a variety of unique competitions. Farming is increasingly a business, which thrives on innovation and technology. One could say that it’s been that way since the (naturally kiwi) invention of the electric fence. But today the pace of change is rapid, with everything from satellite-controlled self-drive systems for tractors through to drones, which assess the health of

livestock via infrared cameras on the horizon, if not here already. The Southern Field Days is the first in a calendar of such shows throughout the nation, and it’s often the first place where new technology breaks cover. Inventors and innovators from both here and overseas gather to display the cutting edge of farm automation, information systems and of course heavy machinery. Live demos of diggers, tractors and implements put all that hydraulic power in the spotlight, a spectacle even for those who don’t need to consider which new model to park in the shed. At the same time, smart

ideas vie for cash prizes in the Rural Life Farm Innovation Awards, a seedbed for fresh thinking. Traditional skills get a workout too, as shearers and fencers go head-to-head for glory. The fencing contest — not the one with the tiny swords, the kind with hammers and pliers — is particularly hotly contested, with the title of ‘best in the South’ carrying immense kudos. There’s a contest of a different kind associated strongly with this three day event as well — the famous Speight’s Southern Man competition. Sponsored by the famous local brewers, who have

made the archetypal ‘southern man’ their icon, this contest mixes up all the skills and talents a well rounded gent from the heartland of the south should possess. These can range from throwing together a romantic dinner for two, all the way back to chopping wood or repairing a chainsaw. Adding to the rows of modern tractors on display, ready to roll out into the fields with new owners, are the machines here to compete. Tractor pull competitions are slugfests of raw brawn, where diesel is turned into thunderous horsepower, clouds of smoke and showers of mud. Pitted

against the weight of the merciless sledge, drivers must carefully decide on their attack, tyre pressure and the sheer tolerance of their engines as a fleet of custom-built monsters square off across three days. There’s even a pre-1985 class for the classics of yesteryear. For farmers in the South Island, the Southern Field Days marks an important date on the calendar, and with its place early in February firmly circled in red, it’s still the first and foremost in the country. Alongside the family fun, agricultural innovations and carnival atmosphere there’s bound

to be more than one or two experts watching to see how it all will unfold, keen to predict farming trends for 2018. Before the show even opens, it’s a sellout success with every spot taken. That bodes well for the whole industry — and for three days filled with the latest and greatest, which farming has to offer. 

Field Days always means a big event, and the modern trend in farming is definitely toward more and more powerful, technologically accomplished machines. As implements become larger and demand more power — not just to deploy in the field but to move on the road — tractors have kept pace. And while we aren’t seeing the vast, building-sized edifices on wheels, which grace America’s plains, the horsepower battle at farming events through the country this year will not be restricted to the automobiles and quads. Noteworthy, even among the largest tractors in the market is Fendt’s new Vario 1000, which proudly claims to establish a new horsepower segment of its own. Check the maths and on the surface it certainly isn’t kidding around — Fendt’s engineers are talking about a 12.4 litre six cylinder engine built by MAN — a name often seen on buses and freight trucks. This colossal mill delivers efficiency for all its bulk, churning out up to 55 horsepower and enough torque to upend the Houses of Parliament. In fact, all 2,400Nm is available down at 1,100rpm, for heavy work pulling big machines and heavy loads. On the open road, however, this big — and there’s no getting around the presence of the big green and red monster — tractor can achieve a sprightly 60km/h, rock solid. All that power under the hood — just over two litres per cylinder, if you care to imagine it as bottles of soft drink — has required Fendt to deploy

clever gearbox and cooling solutions as well. Vario has long been a byword for smooth transmissions, and this latest offering is no exception. Thanks to some engineering black magic, the Vario 1000 has a ten per cent smaller turning circle in the field than many of its contemporaries. And that cooling setup is obviously thought-out by real farmers, too. The fan faces upward to stop harvest chaff and debris being sucked into the system. It can reverse to blow out any rubbish, which does clog the vents. And thanks to the under hood design, it’s able to keep all six cylinders at just the right working temperature, even on

days like we’ve sweated through this summer! Speaking of which, there’s plenty of room for bottles and boxes in the cab of the Vario 1000 — even a chilled area to make sure you’re comfortable as well as hydrated. Add in well thought out places close at hand for tablets, phones, paperwork, and the other minute of day-to-day farming life, and the static elements of the cab begin to look as cleverly devised as the controls. Which is really a term that sums this imposing machine up — clever. Fendt seem to have been unsatisfied with simply playing the ‘bigger is better’ card, and they’ve let attention to detail do the talking. 

Quality builds from Compass

Your Chatham Islands adventure

Developing a strong reputation for the quality of their builds along with a positive customer experience has been a key focus for Compass Homes’ team in Christchurch.

Your Chatham Islands adventure holiday will be a journey of discovery. You will take a step back in time, to how life used to be.

With over 45 years building industry experience and expertise, the Hamiltonbased business now has five branches throughout New Zealand. The opportunity to become part of the Canterbury rebuild following the 2011 earthquakes, accelerated the company’s expansion into the South Island and Compass Homes Christchurch is leading the way when it comes to concrete home building. A solid concrete show home in Prestons Park was completed in October 2017, showcasing the home’s ability to absorb heat then radiate this back at a later time. Specially formulated concrete poured into aluminium building forms then left to set, allows all walls to be poured at

the property in one solid piece. It has a very high earthquake, flood and fire resistance, and an extremely high thermal efficiency. With a show home in Silverstream, Compass Homes is opening a new one in Farringdon subdivision to showcase the high-quality finish of workmanship that sets client expectations, and the company likes to work with the clients to find the solution that best meets their needs. With three show homes operating in Christchurch, Compass Homes can showcase the range of homes and options available to the public. May it be a big or a small house, use timber, concrete or a mixture of both, Compass Homes can make it happen.

Prepare to be surprised as these mysterious islands yield up their secrets. Landscapes with volcanic peaks thrusting up out of rolling peatland, forest topped towering seacliffs, the vast expanse of Te Whanga, endless kilometres of sandy beaches and the ever-present ocean. Situated in the South Pacific Ocean, about 800km east of Christchurch, the Chatham Islands are New Zealand’s most easterly region. An archipelago of 11 islands, only Pitt and Chatham are inhabited, by about 600 people. Meet the Chatham Islanders; people who

remain true to themselves while extending warm hospitality to visitors. Visit heritage sites and learn of our fascinating history shaped by years of isolation: Moriori, Maori, sealers, whalers, missionaries, farmers and settlers. Share in the bounty of our oceans; crayfish, paua, kina and blue cod, which also help sustain our economy. Then relax and absorb the peace and tranquility of the Chatham Islands. Discover the Chatham Islands — history, heritage and nature. Adventure holidays don’t get much better than this.

The sharp end of the arrow  by Andy Bryenton

If progress is an arrow moving forward, then the collaboration between the best minds in Germany and South Korea, which has rolled onto Kiwi roads as the Kia Stinger is the sharp end of it. This car generates arguments from the deliberately pointed — is it faster than a big Aussie-built V8, for instance — to the abstract, with people musing over the global nature of the partnership that created it. Since the Stinger broke cover as a concept car it has gone from a design exercise, which caused ripples of consternation to a finished product, which has the best of Europe and America shivering in their boots. Yes, it can mix it up with the big displacement warriors downunder and win. Putting aside the over 360 horsepower generated by the Stinger’s turbo-fed v6, and putting aside the fact that yes, it really is a contender with Mustangs and M cars, there’s something else about the Kia Stinger which has to be addressed. The elephant in the room is how it looks. Because the photographs don’t do it justice. Not to the outside, which is willfully, joyfully happy to advertise its turn of speed by looking like a speed violation while standing still. And not to the cockpit, with its lack of carbonfibre gimmicks, faux wood panelling, or cheap and scratchy plastics in favour of stitched leather, brushed aluminium and retro-futuristic controls. Many modern cars come from a prototype that hits the auto shows as

 A masterpiece car for two of the world’s top engineers and designers, Kia’s new Stinger has everyone talking

exuberant as a 1970s American muscle car — all wide arches, sinister vents and rakish menace. Then the beige men in beige cardigans decide it would be cheaper if it looked like a bag of tapioca with 14 inch alloys. Not so the new Kia. From the outside it’s as striking as Ford’s Mustang, and

too. You may think that none of this matters, when the raw figures on paper put the Stinger well ahead of its price bracket competitors. But I rather think that looking the part is most of the point. In a sea of resale value silver Europeans at twice the price, Kia’s latest is pure rock and roll, and that’s exactly what Kiwis starved of a performance four-door from the big two are looking for. 

Why wait for the revolution?  by Andy Bryenton

Early adopter is a term that’s like a two-edged sword. On one hand, it means you’re hip, modern, switched on and savvy. On the other, it means you’re prepared to be the test case for possible teething problems with new technologies. In the world of electric transport, the early adopters have had a mixed run, with cars like Nissan’s Leaf and Mitsubishi’s plug-in range offering a look at the future. Infrastructure and range have been the stumbling blocks, but it’s all coming together now. Hyundai have waited until a great time to bring out their Ioniq all-electric car. We’re more accepting of the idea, charge points are popping up all over the nation, the battery technology has come of age, and the current scuttlebutt about Tesla’s production delays on the highly anticipated Model 3 has raised awareness of the demand for electric motoring. Silent, sleek and as easy to drive as a ‘normal’ fossil fuel burning model, the Ioniq made the shortlist for New Zealand Car of the Year, only pipped at the post by the Skoda Kodiaq in a case of ‘who wore that funky extra q better’. It’s hard to transfer the tech details into petrol friendly terms, but the Ioniq’s permanent magnet synchronous motors deliver 88 kilowatts — without the losses associated with the hot, noisy internal combustion process. In a country where it’s a long way between stops, the Ioniq’s 200 kilometre range is the key to its acceptance — you can’t carry voltage in a jerrycan, after all. Think of the distance between Christchurch and Kaikoura on one charge, costing far, far less than a tank of gasoline. The nature of electric power means that this small

IF IT’S MADE OF

car also packs in close to 300 newton metres of torque. To say that it’s quick off the mark is an understatement. The best part — it looks like a real car, not a concept vision spaceship. You can save the planet and still enjoy the comfort and traditional controls, ride and feel of a fun, peppy little small sedan. All without the fuel bill. No wonder, then, that the Ioniq is in high demand for test drives. Book in when you can and see what the
