Cacti and succulents are obvious choices for a low-maintenance garden Written by | realestateview.com.au in buying WITHOUT doubt, plants form the foundation of an appealing garden composition, and all plants require some maintenance to keep them in peak condition and appearance. One way of keeping plant maintenance to a minimum is xeriscaping selecting plants that can thrive in the landscape with as little supplemental water as possible. Cacti and succulents are an obvious choice for xeriscapes, although many Australian native plants, particularly grasses and perennials such as Lomandra and Dianella varieties,

are ideal plant selections that require minimal maintenance. A common misconception about Australian native plants is they’re low maintenance. While there are many that fall into the low-maintenance category, there are just as many that do not. Fastgrowing plant species such as grevilleas, particularly the tropical brush variƺɎǣƺɀً Əȸƺ ɀȵƺƬɎƏƬɖǼƏȸ ˢȒɯƺȸǣȇǕ ȵǼƏȇɎɀً but their vigour requires regular pruning to curtail exuberant growth.

range of environments and soil conditions but require regular pruning. Most low-maintenance plant species are evergreens that produce minimal amounts of litter. Evergreens will drop foliage over a longer period than deciduous trees and shrubs. The volume of leaf litter is more manageable, but maintenance is spread over a longer duration. nƺƏɮƺɀً ˢȒɯƺȸɀ ƏȇƳ ǔȸɖǣɎɀ Əȸƺ ȇȒȸȅƏǼ plant litter, but some species produce more litter than others and some litter more frequently. Besides the necessity to keep hard-

A minimalist approach to plant selection will result in low maintenance, as management for mass plantings of a limited number of species contains maintenance to one area, not individual plants. This technique is used effectively in many commercial landscapes and is ƫƺȇƺˡƬǣƏǼ ǣȇ ǔȒȸȅƏǼ ǕƏȸƳƺȇ ƳƺɀǣǕȇɀِ Keep in mind maintenance will increase if more plant species are added.

Palisade offers chance to size up lifestyle

Ŷ NOT SO BULKY: Hyundai Palisade is long on space and versatility

BELIEVE it or not, there are some people who wish to maximise vehicle seating capacity without being held hostage to the LCV-like people mover or rugged offroader. These folk need look no farther than the Hyundai Palisade, a sports utility vehicle capable of carrying up to seven or eight people. Now, with a name in the origins of a paling fence or line of lofty cliffs, the Palisade, for 2022, is taking up more ground by the addition of a third variant - the Elite - dividing the entry-level Palisade from the rangetopping Palisade Highlander. All siblings come with petrol, or diesel power in two- or all-wheel drive. Available as a seven- or eight-seater, the Elite features a 10.25-inch touchscreen multimedia unit with satellite navigation and 12-speaker Inﬁnity Premium sound, heated front seats a single panel glass sunroof, rear privacy glass, a

By DEREK OGDEN power tailgate and wireless smart phone charging. LED lights are positioned front and rear and 20-inch alloy wheels complete the look. The entry-level Palisade 3.8 GDi petrol 2WD is priced at $55,000, plus on-road costs, the similar Elite chipping in at $61,500, while the range-topping Highlander 2.2 CRDi diesel AWD sells for $75,000. On test was the Palisade Highlander 3.8-litre GDi, four-cylinder petrol, eightspeed automatic, frontwheel drive, eight-seater SUV. STYLING Despite old-style design, side on, the Palisade carries its almost ﬁve-metre length well, with wagon-like proportions doing nothing to trouble, or excite, the discerning eye. New to the big SUV are body-coloured bumpers, with 20-inch so-called Calligraphy alloy wheels ﬁtting

in nicely. Oh, and there is a full-size spare under the rear. INTERIOR In eight-seat conﬁguration, the Palisade has plenty of room up front. While the third row, which is sold as a three-seater, falls short of adult dimensions, it is relatively easy to gain access, the second row sliding forward up to 220 mm. Boot volume is 311 litres with all three rows in position, which increases to 704 litres with two rows in use. Towing capacity of 2200 kg is nothing to write home about. Seven USB ports, four 12V sockets and up to 16 cup holders, including four in each of the second and third rows, are conveniently at hand. ENGINES / TRANSMISSIONS The Palisade upgrade continues with the choice of a 3.8-litre V6 petrol engine, with two-wheel drive, or 2.2-litre turbo-diesel, with

all-wheel drive. Both are mated with an eight-speed automatic. DRIVING With such a big vehicle, fuel consumption becomes increasingly linked to the loads being carried. Hyundai says 10.7 litres per 100 kilometres is the average for the Palisade in the combined urban / highway cycle. With all eight seating positions taken, the test vehicle tipped petrol consumption over 12 litres per 100 kilometres in a mix of town and country conditions. While other eight-seat SUVs are based on a heavyduty four-wheel-drive ‘ladder frame’ chassis, the Hyundai Palisade is built like a car. That means its centre of gravity is lower and steering and suspension should be more like the average passenger vehicle. Travelling in stop-start city low-speed conditions, this is the case. Sharp cornering at speed

is a different matter. The big unit needs a deal of due care and attention to keep it on the not-so straight and narrow. A lesson soon learnt. Turning circle, at 11.8 metres, for a vehicle of this length, is surprisingly taut and the width (a tad under two metres) means the car can handle the average shopping centre parking spot with room to spare. The backside, however, does tend to stick out into the aisle. Drive modes - Comfort, day-to-day driving, eco fuel saver, sport spices up things, and smart switches on to algorithms turned to the driver’s most recent behaviour patterns. All Palisades are covered by Hyundai iCare, the company’s leading customer care program, offering owners a lifetime service plan, ﬁve-year unlimited kilometre warranty, complimentary roadside assist for 12 months on new vehicles,

1500 km complimentary ﬁrst service, a dedicated Customer Care Centre and myHyundai, an exclusive website. Customers using Hyundai servicing also receive roadside assistance for up to 10 years, 10 years of sat nav updates and more.

2022 KIA Sportage GT-Line By EWAN KENNEDY KIA Sportage is almost an ‘oldtimer’ in this day and age, having been around since 1993. It’s undergone quite a few upgrades and changes in almost 30 years on the market. The ﬁfth generation is built on a new architecture and has fascinating styling. It’s no longer aimed at buyers who simply want to move people, it’s designed to be stylish and even slightly upmarket in people’s minds. STYLING The classic Kia Tiger Nose grille and boomerangshaped daytime running lamps make a real styling statement. At the rear it has what you could call a swooping fastback design. The ﬁfth-generation Sportage has boomerangshaped LEDs, razor rear lamps and a swooping curved roof that gives it a look that almost leans in the direction of a coupe. The Snow While Pearl on our test car tied in beautifully with the large black sunroof and the black wheels. The dual aero spoilers, one above the rear window the other below add to the sporting looks. The bold arrow-like shape of the daytime run-

ning lights certainly says they are there for more than providing visibility for other road users. INTERIOR Can’t say the blackon-black interior is to our tastes, but it’s the trendy thing these days so it will help to sell more Sportages. The latest Sportage has a wheelbase of 2755mm, a length of 4660mm, width of 1865mm and height of 1660mm. There’s 1050mm legroom for second-row passengers and 1000mm headroom. This is noticeably better than the outgoing model. This means someone of my size and build can get comfortable in the rear without having to ask the driver to share space with me. Three abreast in the rear seat is pretty good in this latest generation if the occupants are of normal width, if one or more are on the tubby side it does get less comfortable. The centre tunnel is low and doesn’t force the person in the centre seat to sit with their feet beside it. INFOTAINMENT Inside there’s a curved 12.3-inch digital cluster, and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen in the GT-Line we tested. It’s easy to see at a quick glance, thus mini-

mising the time the driver takes their eyes off the road. The sound system is by harman/kardon and could be easily adjusted to produce the sort of outputs we like. DRIVING Kia Sportage has been the subject of Kia Australia’s Local Ride and Handling Program, the Sportage is designed to cater to Australian roads and the style of driving Australians prefer. it’s no sports machine but comes closer than we anticipated in the way it turns in promptly and is happy to change direction if the road tightens or loosens. Debuting in the Sportage GT-Line is a 3D surround view monitor which optimises images from four cameras (front, side mirrors and rear) to provide a 360-degree view in various modes. It allows the user to easily zoom and drag the camera view to suit their needs. This is particularly useful when squeezing backwards into a tight spot in a carpark, especially an underground one with poor lighting. SUMMING UP Kia’s latest Sportage is a solid reworking of the models before it and it looks certain to continue the sales successes of its four ancestors.
