2022 MAZDA CX-5 W hen the original Mazda CX-5 was launched in 2012 it was credited as being the first Mazda production car to feature both ‘Kodo’ design and ‘Skyactiv’ technology. It set new dynamic standards, and changed perceptions of how engaging a compact SUV could be.

The second generation CX-5 arrived in 2017 and it saw Mazda’s engineers deliver an SUV that took the ‘Jinba Ittai’ car-and-driveras-one design and engineering philosophy to the next level.

Complimented by the introduction of G-Vectoring Control (GVC), it became more comfortable, refined and responsive. Since then, successive updates have built on the many and diverse strengths of the second generation model.

BIG-SELLING FAMILY SUV The CX-5 accounts for almost 20% of Mazda’s new car registrations across Europe, and now the big-selling SUV has received some updates for 2022 to keep it fresh in the face of strong competition within the ever-popular family SUV class.

There are new front and rear bumpers, a new front grille design, redesigned front and rear LED lamp clusters, even more safety equipment, and an expanded line-up (bringing the total number of variants to six), which features three new specifications: Newground, Homura and GT Lux. These new grades incorporate subtle individual differences to define their distinctive characters.

Additionally, numerous interior elements have been refined and upgraded to raise the quality of both the cabin environment and its HMI technology.

Connectivity has evolved to support both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, and the latest MyMazda App Connected Services features too.

MAZDA INTELLIGENT DRIVE The 2022 CX-5 introduces Mazda Intelligent Drive select (Mi-Drive), which enables the driver to select the most appropriate drive mode with one touch of a switch.

Mazda’s Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture concept has been applied to the CX-5, further evolving the bodyshell, suspension and seats to provide a comfortable, engaging, ‘Jinba Ittai’ driving experience over even the longest journey.

The cabin in the CX-5 is exceptionally well-constructed, and all of the materials used are of the highest quality for an overall premium feel.

Families don’t need to

compromise on practicality with the CX-5 either. There is plenty of head and legroom in the back, and the boot offers 522-litres of space with the rear seats in place, and 1,395-litres with the rear seats folded down.

DRIVEN IN BARCELONA, SPAIN Having had the privilege of being among a small group of Irish motoring journalists to drive the revised Mazda CX-5 at its European media event in

Barcelona recently, I can honestly say that the time Mazda’s engineers have dedicated to making the CX-5 ride better has paid off handsomely.

New dampers, slightly softer springs and redesigned seats that offer terrific support provide the revised family SUV with a genuine upmarket feel and look.

The motorway part of my test route proved that the CX-5 is a terrific motorway cruiser in every respect, while the remainder of

# If your car’s remote button is pressed 256 times in a row without being in range, the remote will quit working. Not sure why you would want to do this, though! # There are more than a billion cars being used around the world. # The average American commuter is stuck in traffic 42 hours a year.

the route took me up (and down) steep hills with an array of twisty bends and challenging road surfaces along the way.

My CX-5 Newground test car was fitted with Mazda’s wonderful 2.2-litre 150bhp Skyactiv-D (diesel) engine, and was mated to Mazda’s famously-smooth sixspeed manual transmission that fed power to the front wheels in a refined and well-controlled manner.

Thanks to a hefty 380Nm of torque (at 1,800 rpm), my test car was more than capable of navigating its way through every task asked of it - all of which was done with the minimum of gearchanging needed, while suspension upgrades filter out even more road noise than ever before.

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN OPTIONS The revised Mazda CX-5 is still an extremely well-rounded SUV in every respect.

The chassis changes have made it more comfortable for all occupants, while the styling tweaks have added even more desirability to the mix.

The CX-5 is, without doubt, an upmarket, elegant, spirited and intelligent vehicle, as well as being one of the SUV segment’s most enjoyable driver’s cars.

VOLVO – No.1 Premium SUV Brand in Ireland

A

fter a strong start to 2022, Volvo Cars is delighted to announce its position as No.1 premium SUV brand in Ireland, with its full XC range dominating the segment in January. Adding to this, the company saw a 65.4% total sales growth year to date from 2021, bringing its market share to 1.92% for the first time ever.

The XC60 was the bestselling SUV in the premium segment, followed closely by its siblings, the XC90 and XC40 respectively.

Volvo performance in Ireland mirrors the company’s global trends.

In 2021, Volvo’s XC60 continued to be the company’s

bestselling global model with sales reaching 215,635 cars (2020: 191,696 units).

Last year, Volvo Cars strengthened the appeal of its XC60 with the introduction of the ground-breaking Androidpowered infotainment system and the long-range battery on Recharge models, significantly extending its electric range.

These January results also demonstrate the continued popularity of Volvo Cars’ Recharge line-up of cars with a fully electric or plug-in hybrid powertrain. Recharge cars made up 86.8% of the Volvo Car Ireland’s retail deliveries for January.

Alan Cowley, Commercial

Operations Director of Volvo Car Ireland said, “It’s been a fantastic start to 2022 and we are very optimistic for the year ahead. The first month of the year is the most important in terms of car sales and is a good indicator of how the rest of the year should perform. Despite numerous challenges, including the industry wide semi-conductor shortage, Volvo in Ireland is experiencing relatively short lead times on most of our key models, which helped us build a strong order bank coming into 2022. We are also pleased to see the high proportion of cars sold from our Recharge line-up – a promising step towards the all-electric future of Volvo Cars”.

Over half of child car seats incorrectly fitted

O

ver half of child car seats (56%) checked by the Road Safety Authority’s Check it Fits service were incorrectly fitted and needed some type of adjustment to make them a safe fit. If a child’s car seat isn’t fitted correctly, it could lead to a serious or fatal injury in the event of a collision.

In order to increase awareness of car seat safety and reduce misuse rates, the RSA has launched a new voluntary Code of Practice for Child Car Seat retailers. The new Code of Practice will ensure that best practice is achieved when parents or guardians are buying a child restraint system. This in turn means that when buying a new child car seat, families can be confident that they are getting the best advice and guidance on the most suitable car seat for their child and car.

To date, 15 child car seat retailers have committed to the new Code of Practice, covering 40 stores nationwide. Three child car seat manufacturers are signed up, with interest from another three. People should look out for the RSA’s Code of Practice stickers in retailer outlets or you can check the list of participating retailers on rsa.ie.

Aisling Sloyan, Senior Road Safety Promotion Officer and Child Car Seat Expert with the RSA, said: “While the RSA’s experience with its Check it Fits service shows that half of child car seats are fitted incorrectly, worryingly, it found that 30% of these needed a major adjustment to fix them. For example, the seat being excessively loose so as to make the fitting almost ineffective. 67% were minor adjustments, for example, the fitting being loose or a twisted seatbelt. This new Code of Practice will help the public feel confident that they are getting the correct information they need from retailers when buying a child car seat. This includes help on deciding the correct seat for their child’s weight, height, and age. All child car seat retailers and manufacturers are welcome to participate in this Code.”

Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Hildegarde Naughton, said: “If a child’s car seat isn’t fitted correctly, it could

lead to a serious injury in the event of a collision or worse. I am delighted that this new Code of Practice has been launched and I want to applaud the manufacturers and retailers of child car seats that have adopted this new Code of Practice. It is through practical measures like this, where we all work together, and achieve our core target of the new Road Safety Strategy, which is to reduce road deaths and serious injuries by 50% by 2030.”

Sam Waide, CEO of the Road Safety Authority, said: “The point of sale, where child car seats are bought and sold, is critical to driving down misuse rates of child car seats. I would like to thank all the retailers who already go above and beyond when providing customer care and after sales support. I would appeal to retailers who haven’t signed up to the new Code of Practice to please do so. A measure like this is a win/win for everyone.

“Parents get the reassurance that what they are buying will keep their child safe and for the retailer it’s a unique selling point for your business. Most importantly of all its going to save lives and prevent injuries on our journey to Vision Zero where we eliminate all deaths and injuries by 2050.”

Chief Superintendent, Michael Hennebry, An Garda Síochána, said: “The importance of proper fitting of a child car seat cannot be underestimated when it comes to protecting the safety of our younger passengers when travelling in cars. It is equally important to know how to properly adjust car child seats as a child grows. When carrying children in a vehicle, drivers must ensure that they use the correct type of child restraint for the height and weight of the child passengers. This initiative will help ensure that best practice is followed when buying a child restraint system”.

The RSA are also delighted to announce that their face-to-face child car seat checking service – Check it Fits – will be back on the road visiting locations around the country after a two-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. People are advised to check the RSA website for updates and details on locations that we will be visiting.

Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé – a whole new dimension

M

By BREDA CORRIGAN • www.motoringmatters.ie

any car manufacturers have successfully forged a path with petrol-electric hybrids over the last number of years, and while Mercedes-Benz do have petrol-electric hybrids in their model line-up, they also offer buyers the choice of diesel-electric power in some models.

One such model is the mighty Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 de 4MATIC Coupé, with the ‘de’ signifying diesel-electric power, as opposed to ‘e’ in the petrol-electric hybrid version.

DISTINCTIVE DESIGN While the GLE is also available in a traditional SUV body style, it is the Coupé that I am testing here.

Rivals to the GLE Coupé include the Audi Q8, BMW X6 and Porsche Cayenne Coupé, with all of the above comfortably fitting into the ‘luxurious large SUV’ market segment, albeit a relatively small market in Ireland.

The front of the GLE Coupé is similar to the standard GLE with its distinct grille with horizontal slats, and a large MercedesBenz badge taking centre stage, but the Coupé’s

thinner headlights, swooping roofline, and wider stance set it apart.

Measuring in at 4,939mm in length, 2,010mm in width (excluding door mirrors) and standing 1,730mm tall, the GLE Coupé commands terrific road presence.

IMPRESSIVE POWER Powering the GLE 350 de 4MATIC Coupé is a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo-diesel engine which works in unison with an electric motor for a maximum system output of 320bhp and 700Nm of torque.

This power is transferred

to the road by way of a 9G TRONIC automatic transmission with steering column-mounted gear selector and DIRECT SELECT steering wheel gearshift paddles, while 4MATIC permanent four-wheel-drive provides extra grip when needed.

Capable of completing a 0-100km/h sprint in just 6.9seconds, the GLE Coupé can reach a top speed of 210km/h (where permitted), while returning fuel consumption as low as 7.5l/100km on a combined driving cycle.

# The first car to refer to itself as a convertible was the 1904 Thomas Flyer, which had a removable hard top. # The 1930 Cadillac 452, the first production V16, was the first successful seriesproduction with hydraulic valve lifters. # The 1915 Scripps-Booth Model C was the first to place the horn button in the center of the steering wheel and also the first with electric door latches. # The 1924 Chrysler was the first car fitted with a replaceable cartridge oil filter. # The 1960 Plymouth Valiant was the first car fitted with an alternator, rather than a direct current dynamo. # The 1904 Acme, from Reading, PA, was the first car to be offered with a “perpetual guarantee.” However, Acme closed down in 1911. # The 1947 Packard line produced the first car with power operated seats. # The inspiration for MG’s famed octagon-shaped badge was the dining table of founder Cecil Kimber’s dining table. MG stands for Morris Garages.

INTUITIVE INFOTAINMENT The infotainment system in the GLE Coupé is visually stunning and is easy to navigate through via touch, voice or by using a touchpad and menu shortcut buttons on the centre console between the front seats.

Smartphone integration is seamless and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard.

The GLE Coupé comes with electric front seats and the steering wheel adjusts for height and reach, so finding a comfortable driving position is a simple exercise.

There is ample head and legroom in the front of the GLE Coupé, with rear seat passengers also enjoying excellent legroom, while Isofix child seat anchorage points are standard on the outside rear seats.

LUXURIOUSLY-APPOINTED CABIN The luxuriouslyappointed cabin of the

6 MotorMarket

Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé is dominated by two 12-inch screens mounted side-byside, seamlessly joining the central infotainment display on the left and the digital driver’s display on the right, with the latest incarnation of the Mercedes-Benz MBUX infotainment system fitted as standard.

The colourful, crisp and bright screens are easy to read – even in direct sunlight – and the menus respond quickly to commands made of them.

Class-leading cargo capacity of 655-litres with all rear seatbacks in place provides ample room for a set of golf clubs, two large suitcases and a child’s buggy side-by-side.

The square shaped boot comes with hooks and nets to make smaller items secure on the move, while no loading lip makes it easy to load bulky items too.

TEST CAR My test car was a Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 de 4MATIC Coupé AMG Line, which was finished in Indium Silver metallic paintwork, with contrasting 21-inch AMG multi-spoke

light-alloy wheels (painted in black with a high-sheen finish) and black Nappa leather upholstery.

As we have come to expect from the MercedesBenz brand, a hugelyimpressive specification comes as standard.

Key features include AIRMATIC air-suspension, Burmester™ surround sound system, climatised front seats (heated and cooled), panoramic sliding roof, parking package with 360degree camera, MULTIBEAM LED headlights, electric tailgate, and a charging cable for wallbox and public charging stations (5m straight), along with a suite of advanced driver assistance systems.

Optional extras fitted to my test car included aluminium, illuminated running boards with rubber studs, and a Night Package to compliment the exterior styling of the car.

The relatively tall stance of the GLE Coupé provides all occupants with terrific visibility, while the wide footprint enables the car to feel sharp and upright through corners.

The steering is light at

low speeds and a host of sensors and cameras scan the road ahead for potential dangers and alert the driver accordingly, while the standard air-suspension does a great job of absorbing road imperfections and speed ramps.

The impressive power on offer from the hybrid powerplant ensures that getting up to motorway speed can be done in a calm and relaxed manner, with the car remaining extremely well planted, quiet and immensely comfortable at all times.

VERDICT & PRICING With its magnificent blend of comfort, great infotainment tech, supreme diesel-electric hybrid power, and one of the finest interiors in its class, the mighty Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 de 4MATIC is yet another worthy addition to the German premium brand’s growing hybrid model lineup.

My test car specification is priced at €98,065 with optional extras fitted to the car bringing the overall price to €101,295 (ex-works).

New PEUGEOT 208 – Brings On The Style

P

eugeot has always honoured a high-quality and inventive French manufacturing tradition. Today, more than ever, Peugeot is harnessing all of its energy to design elegant vehicles that deliver a sensory experience, and take driving to a whole new level. From ergonomics and materials to connectivity, Peugeot has meticulously worked on each detail to bring drivers the most intuitive driving experience ever.

The new 208 is a classic example of just how far the revitalised Peugeot brand has come in terms of style, technology, connectivity and desirability.

By BREDA CORRIGAN • www.motoringmatters.ie STRONG & CONFIDENT PERSONALITY Available with a choice of petrol, diesel or electric powertrains, the new 208 features the latestgeneration of Peugeot’s ingenious i-Cockpit and 3D head-up display, together with a range of driving aids usually reserved for much more expensive models.

Asserting a youthful, energetic image, the new 208 boasts a sleek, quality design and high-end look that is perfectly in keeping with the Peugeot brand's upmarket strategy. From the very first glance, it is clear to see that the new 208 possesses a strong and confident personality.

The low-slung silhouette, long bonnet and sensual curves hint at its sporty and seductive spirit, while its handsome good looks provide a real feelgood factor, helping the new 208 to stand out in the crowded supermini market.

SPORTY LOOK & WIDE STANCE The new Peugeot 208 is longer, wider and lower than its predecessor, revealing a

distinctive bodyline with clean, taut lines.

Wide shaped wings, body curves, and a paredback windscreen underscore the sporty look, whilst the familiar Peugeot full LED 3-claw headlight signature (trim dependent) is immediately recognisable.

The front bumper contains a perfectly integrated, single outlet radiator grille in the centre, bearing the iconic Peugeot Lion, while the tip of the bonnet shows off the 208 badge for an added dose of exclusivity.

The distinctive and daring rear design of the new 208, with its gloss black rear cluster connecting strip, is further enhanced by full LED backlights with claw effect (trim dependent).

Equipped with a daytime running function, the intensity of the lights adjust automatically to light conditions, enhancing the visibility of the vehicle both day and night.

TRIM & ENGINE OPTIONS Trim levels in the Peugeot 208 consist of entry-level Active, mid-spec

Allure, and range-topping GT variants. Standard items across all levels include Automatic Emergency Braking, Active Safety Brake (night function, cyclists, pedestrians), Extended Traffic Sign Recognition, manual air-conditioning, electric mirrors (heated), rear parking sensors, push button start, electric front windows, and many more comfort, convenience and safety features.

The new 208 is available with a choice of 3 Puretech petrol engines – a 1.2 litre 75bhp (5-speed manual) in Active trim, a 1.2 litre 100bhp (6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic) in all trim levels, and a 1.2 litre 130bhp (8speed automatic) in Allure Pack and GT variants, along with a 1.5-litre BlueHDi turbo-diesel engine with 100bhp (6-speed manual) which is exclusively available in Active and Allure Pack trim levels.

Additionally, an allelectric powertrain (badged e-208) is available across the entire trim range.

Each petrol and diesel engine in the new 208 is compliant with the latest

Test drive the New

stringent EURO 6 emissions controls, and are fitted with stop/start functionality for greater efficiency.

Built on Peugeot's new common modular production platform, the 208’s CO2 emissions are reduced through weight reduction, improved aerodynamics and reduced rolling resistance. The platform also provides for greater acoustic and thermal comfort on board, and lower vibration levels.

In addition to standard body colours and the optional Black Diamond roof, the new Peugeot 208 is on offer with a range of colours to reflect the car's energetic character - Faro Yellow, triple coat Vertigo Blue, and Elixir Red with an additional topcoat that deepens the colour depth, with many other colour options also available.

NEW-GENERATION OF PEUGEOT I-COCKPIT The new Peugeot 208 benefits from a newgeneration of the ingenious Peugeot i-Cockpit - now an inseparable part of the Peugeot DNA. Depending on

the trim, the 3D instrument panel displays information at two levels.

On the upper digital pad, information is projected in hologram form, where data is displayed closer or further away from the driver's eye depending on the function, importance or urgency, thereby increasing reaction responses.

Sporting toggle switches, the new 208 is available with a 5, 7 or 10" touchscreen, depending on trim and options selected.

In addition to the door bins and glovebox, there are 3 additional storage areas (depending on version), including a large storage area under the armrest between the front seats, an easy-access tray in front of the gear lever and a clever concealable storage space in the central console that can be used to discreetly and wirelessly charge a smartphone.

Boot space is equally impressive, with 311-litres available, but this increases to 1,106-litres when the rear seats are folded. Seat comfort for all occupants of the new 208 is terrific, with

an adequate amount of head, leg and elbow room on offer too.

TEST CAR My test car was a 208 GT 1.2-litre Puretech 100bhp 6-speed manual, which looked terrific in Cumulus Grey metallic with its contrasting black trim on the roof, wheel arches and mirror caps, while sporty two-tone alloy wheels provide even greater visual appeal. The refined petrol engine can propel the car from 0-100km in a spritely 9.9-seconds, while a fuel return of 5.5l/100km is achieveable when the car is driven on a WLTP combined driving cycle.

Standard GT Line equipment includes key items such as 17” diamondcut alloy wheels, Visio Park 1 (a 180-degree colour reversing camera with front & rear parking sensors), full LED headlights with Smartbeam Assist, a 10” colour touchscreen with navigation, leather-effect & cloth seats, and an 8-colour ambient lighting system for true individuality.

My test car performed

admirably on a variety of back roads and motorways, with the 100bhp engine pulling strongly from a standing start, while also providing plenty of punch for safe overtaking.

A strong brake pedal feel ensures that the new 208 stops confidently, while an intuitive and slick six-speed manual gearbox makes the car very enjoyable to drive.

Build quality throughout the new 208 is exceptional, while the car’s striking cabin design provides a real sense of occasion to every journey.

VERDICT, PRICING & WARRANTY The Peugeot 208 is a superb car in every respect, from its striking looks and its fantastic interior, to the way it performs on a wide variety of road surfaces.

Additionally, the new 208 is economical and comfortable, while Peugeot’s 5-Year/100,000km warranty comes as standard. The super-stylish 208 is priced from just €22,370 (ex-works), with my test car specification priced at €27,780 (ex-works) and annual road tax of just €190.

New Kia EV6 scoops prestigious ICOTY Award for 2022

A

t an awards ceremony on February 11th at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, the Kia EV6 was named as the Continental Tyres Irish Car of the Year for 2022.

Motoring journalists from print, online and broadcasting hosted the Covid-19 guideline compliant event, which was attended by Ireland’s leading car brands, importers, and distributors.

Kia took the top award with its latest EV6 model which also won the Continental Tyres Irish Large Car of the Year category award at the ceremony. It is the second time that an electric vehicle has taken the award as Kia also won the 2020 Irish Car of the Year title with the all-electric Kia e-Soul.

Joint-Chairman of the Irish Car of the Year Committee, Anthony Conlon said: "The Kia EV6 is a great car and as the second electric vehicle to win the title, it is proof, if any proof was needed, that the era of electric motoring is already well and truly here in Ireland. Just look at our field of runners for this year’s awards, more than half of the contenders are available as either partial or full electric vehicles”.

Joint-Chairman of the Irish Car of the Year Committee, Cathal Doyle said: “Congratulations to the Kia team on a very worthy win and what an achievement to score back-to-back titles with two great electric vehicles. The Kia EV6 came out as the clear winner and was hugely popular with my motoring journalist colleagues”.

Tom Dennigan from awards sponsor, Continental Tyres said: “After missing out on a 2021 Irish Car of the Year awards programme, we are delighted to be back with these awards for 2022 as the whole programme provides a great guide to Irish motorists on what the best and latest cars coming onto the Irish market are. I am sure that the Kia EV6 will benefit hugely here from winning this much coveted award.”

NEW HYUNDAI BAYON

IS READY FOR NEW HEIGHTS

T

he new Bayon is yet another step in the right direction for Hyundai, which is on a roll right now. Hyundai’s newest offering is an appealing small SUV, which slots into position between the new i20 and new Kona in terms of its exterior dimensions.

Hyundai claim that the Bayon is a ‘small on the outside, big on the inside’ urban crossover/SUV that is designed to make a lasting impression. Boasting best-in-class safety and connectivity features, the Bayon comes with lots of smart technology as standard. design language – defined provides visual drama to the EYE-CATCHING by the harmony between Bayon’s sporty wedgePROPORTIONS proportion, architecture, shaped profile while, at the With its sharp lines and styling and technology. rear, arrow-shaped LED rear eye-catching proportions, The arrow-shaped lights are connected by a the new Bayon really stands headlamps and wide grille red accent line. out from the crowd.

While the Kona is offered with an all-electric version, the new Bayon is powered solely by a 1.2-litre MPI (Multi-Point Injection) 4-cylinder petrol engine across all variants.

The ingenious MPI system injects fuel at each cylinder, allowing much greater control over how

much fuel the engine burns, leading to impressive fuel efficiency.

WELL-APPOINTED TRIM LEVELS The new Bayon is available in a choice of three trim levels, namely Comfort Plus, Executive and Executive with a two-tone roof.

Standard features from entry level include a rear spoiler, roof rails, sportsstyle driver and passenger front seats, driver seat height adjuster, height &

reach adjustable leatherwrapped steering wheel, air-conditioning, auto light control function, temporary spare wheel, cargo net, multi-function steering wheel controls, central door locking, Bluetooth, DAB radio, cruise control, and a tyre pressure monitoring system, along with a host of safety features for peace-ofmind motoring.

Upgrade to the Executive trim (with and without the two-tone roof) and additional standard features include 16” alloy wheels,

# It is illegal to drive around in a dirty car in Russia. # Nearly 70 million cars are manufactured every year. # The last vehicle to offer a cassette player as an option was the 2011 Ford Crown Victoria. # Most car horns honk in the key of F. # Leonardo da Vinci sketches show that he came up with the idea of the car in 1478. # Jaguars used to be called SS Cars, but the name was changed after World War II due to the atrocities that the Nazi SS committed during the war. # About 65% of all Rolls-Royce cars that were ever built are still on the road.

TEST CAR My test car was a new Bayon Executive 1.2litre MPI, which was finished in elegant Aurora Gray Pearl paintwork that compliments its strong SUV design.

Producing 84PS (83bhp) and 118Nm of torque, the Bayon can reach 100km/h in 13.5-seconds, while returning up to 50.5mpg (5.6l/100km) on a WLTP combined driving cycle.

A low Co2 emission figure of 126g/km translates to annual road tax of just €200.

On the road is where the new Bayon really excels, with a terrific mix of comfort, control, poise and precision on offer. Road imperfections are dealt with swiftly, while noises and knocks from the suspension are well isolated from the cabin.

For a relatively small car, the Bayon’s motorway refinement and stability are impressive, while the car corners keenly on twisty roads. A precise steering response ensures that the Bayon is a delight to drive around town, while the standard rear parking sensors and rear view camera in my test car made parking a doddle too.

The family-friendly cabin space in the new Bayon is impressive, with rear legroom deserving particular praise.

Interior storage comprises a of a deep glovebox, front and rear door bins that can accommodate a large bottle, and a flat shelf for a smartphone at the bottom of the wellconstructed dashboard.

Boot capacity of 411-litres can be transformed into a 1,205-litre space when the rear seat backs are folded down, while an intelligent trunk cover can be stowed away safely within the boot when not in use.

PRICING & WARRANTY The new Hyundai Bayon is available in a multitude of stylish exterior colours, along with the option of a two-tone roof and matching door mirror housings in Phantom Black to create a car perfectly matched to individual taste.

With prices starting at just €21,645 (or from just €210.09 per month on a 37month PCP finance plan – t’s & c’s apply), the new Bayon truly is ready to reach new heights in the competitive small crossover/SUV market segment.

Over quarter of drivers and passengers killed on Irish roads in 2021 were not wearing a seat belt

T

he Road Safety Authority (RSA) and An Garda Síochána are urging drivers and passengers to always wear a seat belt on every journey.

The call comes as an analysis, by the RSA, of provisional garda statistics from 2021, shows that 27%* of drivers and passengers killed in road traffic collisions, were not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Analysis of provisional collision data from 2017 to 2020 shows that 10%* of vehicle occupants seriously were not wearing a seat belt.

(See Tables 1 & 2).

Separately, results of new attitudinal research of drivers’ attitudes and behaviour* released today

by the RSA, found that while 96% of motorists say they always use a seat belt as a driver, this figure drops to 83% when people are travelling in the back seat of a car.

Minister of State in the Department of Transport, Hildegarde Naughton TD: “If you are over 17, you are legally responsible for wearing your seat belt in a vehicle. While a seat belt won’t prevent a crash, it could save your life if you are involved in a collision.

This should be reason enough to wear one. No matter how long or short your journey, always wear a seat belt because as we have heard all too often from survivors of collisions – all it takes is a split second for a

crash to happen.”

Sam Waide, CEO of the RSA, said: “Seat belts are proven life savers and putting one on before starting a journey is second nature for most of us.

Unfortunately, the collision data and our recent attitudinal study shows that there are some who take huge risks by not wearing one.

“I am concerned that only 83% of rear seat passengers tell us they always use a seat belt. Not being restrained in the back seat of a car means that in the event of a collision, you will be thrown around the vehicle at extremely high force, risking serious injury to both yourself and others in the car.

“Failing to put on your seat belt doesn’t just increase the likelihood of you being killed or seriously injured, it’s a potential killer behaviour. I would argue that not wearing a seat belt is not just dangerous but selfish too. I would ask drivers to always ensure that they and their passengers are wearing their seatbelt before starting a journey.”

Assistant Commissioner Paula Hilman, Roads Policing and Community Engagement, An Garda Síochána added: “Seatbelts save lives.

Unfortunately emergency services personnel including Gardaí, continue to arrive at scenes of traffic collisions and witness firsthand the devastating injuries sustained by drivers and passengers because they were not wearing a seatbelt.

Provisional data from 2021, shows that 27%* of

drivers and passengers killed in road traffic collisions, were not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Last year Gardaí issued 7,248 Fixed charge penalty notices for seat belt offences. This figure shows that a high number of people continue to take unnecessary risks on our roads, are not listening to advice or changing their behaviour.”

“Every occupant in a vehicle is required by law to wear a seat belt and the responsibility lies with the driver to ensure that all people under the age of 17 wear a seatbelt or have a proper child restraint. If a driver is detected not wearing a seatbelt, they risk

three penalty points and a fine of €60. Passengers over 17 may be fined €60 for not wearing a seatbelt.

Seatbelt compliance is one of our priority lifesaver enforcement areas for 2022.

Our message from An Garda Síochána is clear –

“Seat belts save lives, please wear them.”

Wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of death among drivers and front seat passengers by half, and the risk of death and serious injuries among rear seat occupants by a quarter.

DS 3 CROSSBACK is a Goddess of Style

T

he DS 3 CROSSBACK is a luxury compact SUV that combines refinement and technology with a striking design that enables it to stand out as modern, sophisticated and elegant.

Whether viewed from the front, side or rear, one thing is for sure; the new DS 3 CROSSBACK is one of the most distinctive cars on the road. Flush-fitting door handles only appear when you unlock the car, and the rest of the time they are concealed, slotting neatly into the bodywork to enhance the sophisticated silhouette of the car.

PETROL POWER OPTIONS Having previously been impressed by the fullyelectric DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE, it is now the turn of its petrol-powered sibling to take centre stage.

A 1.2-litre PureTech engine is available in three states of tune – 100, 130 and 155bhp – and all, but the 100bhp version, come with an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard, while a six-speed manual transmission is reserved for the entry-level engine.

Also available is a 1.5-litre BlueHDi turbo-diesel engine with 110bhp.

THREE TRIM LEVELS In a similar fashion to its fully-electric and dieselpowered siblings, the petrol-

powered DS 3 CROSSBACK is available in Elegance, Performance Line and Prestige trim variants, with an array of optional extras on offer for buyers looking for ultimate personalisation.

Additionally, a choice of nine exterior colours, three contrasting roof colours and a total of nine alloy wheel design/colour combinations are available through the range.

The cabin of the DS3 CROSSBACK is a symphony of tactile materials, geometric shapes and wellplaced controls, ensuring it looks unlike anything else in its market segment.

There are relatively few buttons in the cabin, as many of the key features are controlled via the car’s dash-

By DECLAN GLYNN • www.motoringmatters.ie top infotainment screen, which does become easy to get used to.

Space for the driver and front seat passenger is decent, and getting comfortable in the luxurious

seats is never a problem, while space for rear seat passengers is on par with the class norm.

Boot space measures in at 350-litres when the rear seat backs are in place, with up to 1,050-litres available when they are folded down.

CAR ON REVIEW My review car was a DS 3 CROSSBACK PureTech 130 Elegance (automatic) which was finished in Perla Nera Black metallic paintwork with contrasting 17” diamond-cut alloy wheels.

Key ‘Elegance’ equipment includes front & rear parking sensors, Visio Park HD rear-view camera, cruise control with speed limiter, keyless start, black leather multi-function steering wheel, 7” digital instrument cluster, 7” colour touchscreen, Mirror Screen

# On April 21, 1967, General Motors' 100,000,000th vehicle was completed at the Janesville, Wisconsin, Chevrolet plant. The Nantucket blue Caprice marked two milestones for GM: Not only was it their 100,000,000th car, it also made the first company to reach the 100 million production milestone. # The 1953 Corvette was available in one colour – Polo White. # The Dodge Brothers first logo incorporated the Star of David. # The 1949 Chryslers were the first to use a standardised production key-start system. # The average car has 30,000 parts and about 80% of a car is recyclable. # Oklahoma City, on July 16, 1935 first used parking metres. # The first official White House car was a 1909 White Steamer, ordered by President Taft. # Car crashes are ranked as the ninth leading cause of death, accounting for 2.2% of all deaths globally. In the United States, over 37,000 people are killed in road crashes each year, while an additional 2.35 million are injured or disabled. The average driver will get into about 3-4 accidents during their life.

with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, DAB radio, Bluetooth™, chrome door handles, twin tailpipes, and dark tinted rear windows, along with a Safety Pack consisting of Emergency Brake Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Land Departure Warning, Speed Limit Recognition and Intelligent Speed Adaption.

The 3-cylinder turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol engine is mated to an eightspeed automatic transmission, and there is always plenty of power to call upon when the

opportunity or need arises.

A respectable 130bhp and 230Nm of torque enables the car to complete the 0-100km/h sprint in just 9.2-seconds, and achieve a top speed of 200km/h, while consuming as little as 6.1litres of petrol for every 100kms driven on a WLTP combined driving cycle.

In-gear acceleration in third and fourth gears is stronger than that of a MINI Countryman with a 3cylinder 1.5-litre engine, and this is testament to where DS Automobiles sees the DS 3 competing in the market.

The engine feels eager and doesn’t need to excessively change down through the gearbox thanks to a good spread of ratios.

Light steering, and adequate levels of grip through bends, provide the car with good handling characteristics, while a relatively soft suspension set-up absorbs road imperfections with ease.

PRICING & VERDICT With its distinctive styling, strong engines, generous equipment levels, and luxurious interior, the new DS 3 CROSSBACK combines French design flair with a sensory driving experience.

Pricing starts at just €30,165 (including delivery charges), with a fiveyear/100,000km warranty supplied as standard.

D

acia continues to grow from strength to strength as the ever-popular Dacia Duster hits 2 million units sold in nearly 60 countries.

Launched across Europe in 2010, the Duster has quickly earned a reputation for making SUVs widely popular and accessible around the world. The Duster is aimed both at customers who are looking for a comfortable, attractive SUV and those who want a robust, versatile 4x4.

DACIA DUSTER reaches 2 million sales

THE DUSTER DNA The first-generation Duster was designed from scratch as no vehicle existed like it on the market at the time. The aim was to create a robust, reliable, and versatile vehicle that drove like a 4WD. Not only did the Duster have to be an ideal fit for many different terrains and climates around the world, it also had to deliver unbeatable value that was unrivalled.

Despite the first Duster being a renowned bestseller, the second iteration that came to the market seven years later further built on the success.

In 2017, the design brief was clear: keep the original Duster DNA and build on its strengths, while still offering a product that pushed the boundaries.

After numerous in-house design competitions and some very exciting sketches, one design quickly stood out from the crowd which offered a more muscular silhouette, a raised beltline with higher quarter windows, and a more assertive grille.

The approach used in the development of Duster by Dacia’s clever designers and engineers is known as Design-to-Cost. It applies a high level of innovation to develop affordable and reliable products that meet customer driven expectations.

compact panel van, the Combo-e Life compact MPV, the full-sized Zafira-e Life MPV and the Movano-e large panel van.

TRAILBLAZING SPIRIT True to its heritage, the Duster is a family SUV with a trailblazing spirit. At home on both the road and off the beaten track, the Duster has ventured down many paths and negotiated different terrains from Siberian cold tracks to the Moroccan desert.

Over the years, the Duster has taken part in many world-famous events. From the Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles in Morocco, the famous Pikes Peak hill climb in the United States and the Andros Trophy, the Duster has embraced its sporty, robust and adventurous side.

In Poland and France, Duster has become a traditional fixture in many competitions as it is regularly seen taking to the podium at the National Rally Championship, the Dacia Duster Motrio Cup and 4WD endurance races.

VERSATILITY Proving its versatility time and time again, the Duster has also been adapted for many different uses. Highlights have included the addition of caterpillar tracks, a Duster pick-up, a Duster ambulance, a Duster police car and the famous Duster ‘Popemobile’.

Reaching 2 million Dacia Duster units sold worldwide comes at an exciting time as Dacia has recently enhanced and updated its Duster SUV model.

This latest version features refreshed design elements, up-to-date features and technology, all while continuing to offer the same robustness, comfort, and value-for-money which it is famed for.

The Duster has been the number one car for retail sales in its class in Europe’s SUV market since 2019.

he dedicated European version of the best-selling Kia Sportage has been carefully crafted to establish new benchmarks across the SUV segment in Europe. It combines a sleek yet muscular and modern exterior design with a cutting-edge premium interior featuring a swooping integrated curved display that houses the very latest advancements in connectivity tech.

Developed on a new ‘N3’ architecture, the European Sportage benefits from a European-focused high-tech engineering program that has realized an optimal wheelbase and ideal dimensions and proportions for European roads.

This meticulous approach has helped create an SUV that is a perfect fit for European requirements, underscoring its everyday practicality and usability.

Such a progressive and tailored package has also resulted in improved luggage capacity, headroom and legroom compared to the outgoing Sportage model, with outstanding legroom for the secondrow passengers.

State-of-the-art hybrid powertrains further enhance the European Sportage’s capabilities, serving to dramatically reduce emissions and enhance fuel economy.

An advanced plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model represents another first for the European Sportage, realising eco-friendly electric-only driving that can cover most daily trips from the home to work or for daily shopping needs.

The all-new fifth-generation Sportage also debuts a high-tech hybrid (HEV) variant and a mildhybrid (MHEV) gasoline powertrain.

The very latest internal combustion clean petrol and diesel engines are also available, ensuring

that the new Sportage can meet a wide breadth of customer needs and requirements.

The diesel engine can also be paired with the MHEV tech, serving to further reduce emissions and improve overall fuel economy.

The Kia Ireland initial product offer features a choice of four powertrains and four trim levels. PHEV models will follow in Quarter 2.

The entry-level K2 model comes equipped with 17” alloys, LED headlamps, dual-zone climate control, reversing camera with dynamic guidelines, auto dimming rear view mirror, cruise control with speed limiter, lane keep assist, lane follow assist and forward collision avoidance.

The K3 adds 18” alloys, heated front and rear seats, power adjustable front seats and a 12.3” infotainment screen with Kia Connect (UVO connectivity ).

The K3 HEV also features smart cruise control and highway driving assistance.
