Renault Arkana

NEW PEUGEOT e-208 T he super-stylish e-208 was Peugeot’s first fullyelectric car, and was joined by the e-2008 just a short while later, while a fullyelectric e-308 is due to be launched in Ireland in 2023. With its distinctive exterior design, the new e-208 cuts a dash on the road, and is instantly recognisable as a proud member of Peugeot’s revitalised passenger car range. The low-slung silhouette, long bonnet and sensual curves hint at its sporty, seductive spirit and further enhance its irresistible charm. The distinctive and daring rear design of the e-208 features a gloss black rear cluster connecting strip, along with full LED backlights with claw effect (model dependent). Equipped with a daytime running function, the intensity of the lights adjust automatically to light conditions, enhancing the visibility of the car both day and night.

STYLING THAT BLENDS IN While some electric cars go out of their way to stand out as being an EV (electric vehicle), the Peugeot e-208 blends in with its ‘normal’ petrol and diesel counterparts. The all-electric e-208 is essentially a Peugeot 208 with a big battery and an electric motor in lieu of a traditional internal combustion engine. Externally, the only real visual differences compared with petrol and diesel versions of the 208 are the discreet 'e' monogram

STUNNING INTERIOR DESIGN The new e-208’s interior is one of the most strikingly designed in the small car class – and would even put some more expensive rivals to shame.

IMPRESSIVE POWER & RANGE The new e-208 has a 50kWh battery that powers a 136bhp electric motor with 260Nm of instant torque – enough to silently propel the car from 0-100km/h in just 8.1-seconds, while a top speed of 150km/h is achieveable. The e-208 has an impressive official battery range of up to 350kms on a full charge, with no emissions whatsoever leading to annual road tax of just €120. As with all electric cars (and some hybrids too), the e-208 has

The use of high quality materials and soft-touch surfaces make it feel upmarket too. The e-208’s excellent build quality compliments the overall style of the car, while overall cabin comfort and space is impressive. The boot in the new e-208 has a load capacity of 311-litres when the rear seat backs are in place, with up to 1,106-litres available when the rear seat backs are folded – exactly the same as conventionally-powered 208’s. The e-208 debuts the latest generation of Peugeot’s innovative i-Cockpit, with a very functional 3D instrument panel as standard on some models.

CAR ON REVIEW My review car was a Peugeot e-208 GT which looked amazing in its Pearl White pearlescent paintwork with contrasting black roof, exterior door mirrors and wheel arches for a genuine sporty look. Driving the new e-208 delivers new sensations by way of a smooth drive, strong acceleration thanks to immediate engine torque, and a silent powerplant to provide an air of serenity, while proving less costly to run thanks to reduced maintenance, and energy costs which are lower than conventional fuel costs. EASY CHARGING OPTIONS To access the full driving capacity in electric mode several charging solutions are available at home, or at public stations.

The European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) is an initiative founded in 1997 by transport ministries, automotive clubs, insurance associations and research institutes from eight European countries. The consortium is based in the Belgian city of Leuven and conducts crash tests on current vehicle models to evaluate their active and passive safety. The tests have become increasingly stringent over recent years and now cover a range of collision scenarios. While initially only the results of the crash tests were evaluated, the assessments of active safety systems, as well as driver assistance systems, are now included in the overall rating and have a higher weighting.

New Renault Arkana – Hybrid by nature

By BREDA CORRIGAN • www.motoringmatters.ie

he all-new Renault Arkana sports SUV looks like no other car in its class with its flowing lines and sleek coupé design. However, the Arkana stays true to its SUV roots with excellent interior space for all five occupants, and generous boot space for even greater practicality. The Arkana is based on the French brand’s Captur SUV, but with a lower and more raked roofline, with longer overall dimensions offering more legroom for rear passengers. Additionally, the rear seats have been oriented to maximise head room, while the 513-litre boot (480 litres on Arkana E-TECH Hybrid) ensures a generous load area with a variable-height boot floor featuring on mild (micro) hybrid versions. For maximum interior space, the rear seats fold, leaving a level, flat load area for bulkier items. engine with a smaller 12V ELECTRIFIED PETROL emergency braking system with pedestrian and cyclist battery which also stores ENGINES detection, as well as a lane energy recovered during The Arkana is available keep assist system. braking.

Easy Park Assist (handsfree parking) too. The RS Line variant draws inspiration from the world of motorsport, and combines robustness and elegance with sporty elements such as the Formula 1-style front splitter and stunning 18” Silverstone alloy wheels, along with twin-exhaust pipes that complement the assertive SUV look.

The premium cabin of the Arkana RS Line also exudes sportiness with leather and suede upholstery, with red over-stitching for an added dash of sportiness. Behind the perforated leather multifunction steering wheel sits a carbon-look dashboard punctuated with a red stripe, with the seatbelts enhanced by the same red stitching as the seats. TEST CAR DETAILS My test car was a new Arkana RS Line E-TECH Hybrid, which was finished in elegant Platinum Grey metallic paintwork. Producing 142bhp and 250Nm of torque, the Arkana E-TECH Hybrid can sprint from 0-100km/h in 10.8seconds and can reach a top speed of 172km/h (where permitted), while fuel consumption as low as 4.9l/100kms is possible when driven on a WLTP combined driving cycle. Additionally, a CO2 emission figure of 111g/km leads to annual road tax of just €180. The multi-mode automatic transmission in the Arkana is smooth in its operation and adds to the overall ease of drivability, while drivers looking for a responsive coupé/SUV with excellent handling characteristics won’t be disappointed by what the Arkana E-TECH Hybrid has to

offer. It corners enthusiastically and soaks up most road imperfections unobtrusively, with comfortable and supportive seats ensuring that occupants remain composed and relaxed on every journey. As with all hybrid vehicles, it is not possible to travel a substantial distance under electric power, but the Arkana’s hybrid system does prioritise electric mode, particularly on start-up. This means that you can creep away from a standstill without the petrol engine kicking in – ideal for drivers who have to tackle congested city streets during their daily commute. VERDICT, PRICING & WARRANTY With its athletic, sloping profile, modern design touches and the most up-todate lighting technology delivering a standout signature, the all-new Arkana provides a distinctive and sleek presence on the road. Pricing for the new Renault Arkana starts at just €29,240 (ex-works) or from just €252 per month on PCP finance at 4.84% - terms & conditions apply. All Renault cars and vans come with warranty protection providing worryfree motoring for 5 years or 200,000kms as standard – one of the best warranty offerings on the Irish market.

9 serious injuries for every fatality on Irish roads R

esearch by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has revealed that between 2017 and 2020, for every one road death recorded there were nine serious injuries on Irish roads. The research was presented at the RSA’s Annual Academic Lecture online on Thursday January 27th, which centred on the topic of serious injuries. Delegates attending the virtual event heard from domestic and international road safety and medical experts on the topic of serious injuries. Speaking ahead of the RSA Academic Lecture, Velma Burns, Research Manager at the RSA said: “In the four years during 2017 2020, RSA figures show that 5,037 people were seriously injured on Irish roads in road traffic collisions. In 2021, there were 1,091 serious injuries reported because of a road traffic

collision*. The research also shows that vulnerable road users – pedestrians, motorcyclists, and cyclists accounted for over half of all serious injuries (54%). While there is an average of six drivers seriously injured for every one driver death, there are 25 cyclists seriously injured for every cyclist fatality. The research also showed that 63% of drivers who suffered from serious injuries were male, whereas over half (55%) of passengers who suffered serious injuries were female.” Also speaking at the Academic Lecture, Professor Aine Carroll, Professor of Healthcare Integration and Improvement, UCD, and Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine, National Rehabilitation Hospital, said: “From a trauma and rehabilitation point of view the landscape is complex. Analysis of National Rehabilitation University Hospital (NRH) admissions statistics found that three in four injuries from road traffic collisions during 2014 - 2018 were traumatic brain

injuries. Traumatic brain injuries are life-altering, and often require years of intense rehabilitation. “I have seen first-hand the devastating cognitive and physical consequences serious injuries have for these patients and their dayto-day lives. Serious injuries affect not just the victim of the road traffic incident, they can also be life-changing for their families, their friends and their communities.” Dr. Letty Aarts, Department Head at the SWOV Institute for Road Safety Research in the Netherlands, said, “The next decade will be a critical time for road safety across Europe, in particular when we think of the many victims of road traffic collisions who suffer lasting consequences of serious injuries. “Serious injuries are complex and do not just go away overnight. EU research has shown that three quarters of serious injury victims have not fully recovered from their injuries after three years. Up to one third of serious injury victims suffer from lifelong disabilities because of their

injuries.” She added that, “serious injury victims can experience huge physical, cognitive and psychological challenges. Many are left with pain, fatigue, financial difficulties and PTSD, among other difficulties. In a split second their lives are changed forever, and we must never forget this. I’d like to thank the RSA for highlighting this issue at the Academic Lecture, and for our continued collaboration to make our roads safer for citizens in Europe.” Minister of State at the Department of Transport Hildegarde Naughton TD said, “Last month, I launched the new Government Road Safety Strategy, which will run from 2021 to 2030. This Strategy sets an ambitious target of reducing road deaths and serious injuries by half over this period. Put simply, we can’t say we are fully addressing safety on our roads until we take serious injuries into account. To acknowledge the importance of preventing and treating serious injuries from road traffic collisions,

the Strategy includes a dedicated priority intervention area for postcrash response. Implementing the actions within this priority intervention area will be critical to ensure we meet our target of a 50% reduction in serious injuries by 2030, as will the implementation of the trauma strategy ‘A Trauma System for Ireland’, which is a commitment of the 2020 Programme for Government. Sam Waide, Chief Executive of the Road Safety Authority said: “There have been over 85,000 serious injuries in Ireland since we began recording them in 1977. The findings presented at the Academic Lecture add urgency to the targets outlined in the Government Road Safety Strategy 20212030 to reduce serious injuries and deaths on Irish roads by 50% by 2030. To ensure the focus is maintained on serious injuries the RSA will commence a series of spotlight reports on serious injuries in individual road user groups, commencing in 2022.

“The RSA is to partner with the HSE and Trinity College in a new collaboration to examine and compare serious injury data from both hospital and collision data. These measures to better understand the number and nature of serious injuries will coincide with the implementation of the Phase One Action Plan under the Government Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030.” The Government Road Safety Strategy outlines 50 high-impact actions setting Ireland on course to meet these ambitious targets. These high-impact actions include reducing speed in urban and rural areas, provision of segregated infrastructure, promotion of lifesaving vehicle technologies, enhancing Ireland’s post-crash response, as well as actions around enforcement. The Phase 1 Action Plan under the Road Safety Strategy can be accessed on the RSA website here and the Government Road Safety Strategy can be accessed here.

NEW CITROËN Ë-C4 Silence in motion

aving previously been extremely impressed by the all-new Citroën C4 PureTech (petrol), it is now the turn of its fully-electric sibling, the ë-C4, to take centre stage. The all-new C4 is now in its third-generation (but the first time to be offered with electric power), and it offers strong SUV characteristics with best-inclass height, ground clearance, seat position and interior legroom when compared to its C-Segment hatchback competitors. AERODYNAMIC SILHOUETTE The new brand design language possesses strong Citroën identity with an aerodynamic silhouette and

aggressive front end featuring a V-shaped LED lighting signature. Doublestage headlights with chrome chevrons stretch

across the entire width of the new C4, and these iconic chevrons flow into the LED daytime running lights at the top, and extend to the

LED headlights at the bottom. The high and horizontal bonnet echoes the concave shape of Citroën’s C5 Aircross SUV and exudes an energetic and assertive attitude in the process. The unique roof line, combined with the sloping rear window, clearly expresses the aerodynamics of the vehicle, while the rear spoiler enhances the vitality of the body shape.

black) accents on the air vents, steering wheel, instrument panel and cabin controls offer a comfortable cabin experience by clearly identifying useful touchpoints. Boot space measures in at 380-litres with the rear seats in place, but the C4’s standard split-folding seat backs can be folded to create a cavernous space of up to 1,250-litres when the need arises.

SPACIOUS CABIN & BOOT The spacious cabin of the new C4 inspires confidence at first glance through the modernity of its clean, contemporary dashboard, softly shaped door panels and soft, supple materials throughout. The 10-inch colour infotainment touchscreen is a distinctive highlight of the C4’s stylish cabin and it comes as standard across all trim grades, while the wide horizontal dashboard gives occupants a feeling of space and volume. Additionally, the chevron grain pattern on the dashboard, and satin chrome (or high-gloss

electric motor to offer 260Nm of torque and a 0100km/h sprint time of 9.7seconds with sport mode engaged. Charging to 80% possible in 30mins with a 100kw connection, while an 11kw 3-phase charger will charge to 100% in 5 hours. A 32-amp domestic wall box takes 7.5 hours, so overnight charging will possibly be the preferred method of charging for owners with access to a wall charger at home. Drive mode select on the ë-C4 allows the choice of eco, normal and sport driving modes which alter power output and cabin thermal efficiency depending on driving preference. For a limited time, ë-C4 customers that move their energy account to Energia will also receive a free home charger plus 20% off their electricity tariff, while a 30% discount will apply if a wall box is already fitted to the home.

CAR ON REVIEW My review car was a Citroën ë-C4 Flair Pack, which attracted lots of admiring glances in its Oblia Blue metallic paintwork. While the Ë-C4 uses the same underpinnings as Opel, DS and Peugeot’s electric models, Citroën’s electric coupé-SUV retains a character all of its own, partly thanks to its styling, which is more rugged compared to the design of other electric models. The ë-C4 is supremely silent, very comfortable, and is a joy to drive, while a range of up to 350kms (WLTP combined cycle) will, for many drivers, lead to only having to charge the battery every few days.

CHOICE OF GRADES As with the new C4 petrol (PureTech) and diesel (BlueHDi) models, there are four trim grades available in the ë-C4 range – Feel, Feel Pack, Flair and rangetopping Flair Pack. A hugely-impressive array of standard features adorn all trim grades, but unique to the ë-C4, standard equipment includes a mode 3 charging cable for on

ATTRACTIVE PRICING The all-new Citroën ë-C4 is a very comfortable, refined and practical fullyelectric car with great charging capability, and it should not be overlooked by buyers in the market for a fully-electric family hatchback/SUV. The new ë-C4 is priced from just €31,730 (after maximum SEAI grant and VRT relief are applied).

DID YOU KNOW...?? Windshield wipers were invented by a woman named Mary Anderson in 1905. invented windshield wipers to remove the hassle of driving in the rain or snow. Before windshield wipers were invented, drivers would have to repeatedly get out of their cars and clean off the windshield by hand. The first antilock brakes were invented in the 1920s, and became more popular in the 1990s. Today, most modern cars have an antilock braking system, or ABS. Prior to the invention of brake lights, many drivers relied on hand signals to let others know where they were going. This was problematic at night time as the dark made it difficult to see hand signals. Now, brake lights are a requirement for vehicles as they are an important safety feature!

Nissan celebrates with one-off electric Bluebird

elebrating 35 years of production at the Sunderland plant, Nissan has commissioned a very special conversion of the Nissan Bluebird – the first car off the factory’s production line in 1986. Called ‘Newbird’, the oneoff project car is powered by the 100% electric drivetrain of a Nissan LEAF, the pioneering mass-market EV that kick-started the global trend towards electrification of mobility. The ‘Newbird’ connects 35 years of manufacturing heritage at Sunderland, as Nissan accelerates towards

an electrified future through Ambition 2030, the company’s long-term plan to empower mobility and beyond. NISSAN ‘NEWBIRD’: IN DETAIL The Nissan Bluebird was extensively modified to integrate the LEAF’s electric drivetrain. The original petrol combustion engine and gearbox were removed and a LEAF motor, inverter and 40kWh battery pack installed, with the battery modules split between the engine bay and boot for optimised weight distribution.

Updates and modifications were made to the power steering, braking and heating systems to enable them to be electrically powered. A custom suspension was also installed to support the additional weight from the battery packs. As a nod to the car’s electric updates, the original Nissan bonnet badge received a LED backlight (for when the vehicle is static). The car is recharged through the original fuel flap, which provides access to the charging port. The battery can be recharged at up to 6.6kW

Find the names of the car manufacturers in the grid below. The names may be vertical, horizontal or diagonal and may also be backwards.

and the original driver instrument panel has been connected to the EV system to enable the fuel gauge to show the battery state of charge. Although not homologated, the vehicle’s range from a single charge is estimated at around 208 kms (subject to environmental factors and driving style) with a 0-100 kph time of just under 15 seconds. For the exterior of the vehicle, Nissan Design Europe, based in London, created a new graphic motif inspired by design cues of 1980s consumer technology, combined with a 21st century aesthetic. The conversion was project-managed by Kinghorn Electric Vehicles, a

family-run company based in Durham, North East England (just 24 kms from the Sunderland plant). Kinghorn EV specialises in the conversion of classic cars to full electric using second-life Nissan LEAF motors, inverters & batteries. NISSAN SUNDERLAND: THEN, NOW AND TOMORROW Sunderland Plant was officially opened in September 1986 and has been in operation ever since. Total output from 1986 to the present day stands in excess of 10.5 million cars. The number of staff employed at the Sunderland plant has grown from 430 in 1986 to 6,000 today. There

are 19 staff who started in 1986 still working today in the manufacturing facility. The first car off the Sunderland production line in 1986, Bluebird Job 1, is the centrepiece of a local museum display commemorating the significance of that first vehicle. Production of Bluebird totalled 187,178 units from 1986 to 1990. When production ramped up it took over 22 hours for each Bluebird to be built. Now, 35 years later, the outstanding improvement in manufacturing technology has reduced the production time to 10 hours for the Nissan LEAF and over 200,000 units have been manufactured.

right Motor Group are delighted to support the East Wall community by donating €5,000 to St. Joseph's Coed. Primary School. The donation will go towards much needed reading packs for pupils in receipt of extra teaching support, literacy resources and science equipment. Bright Motor Group have relocated their SEAT and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles franchises from East Wall to Airside Motor Park, Swords, ending a 33-year relationship with the area. The donation is made in recognition of the community which was home to the dealership and from where a number of the staff were employed. St. Joseph's Co-ed. Primary School is a mixed primary school located in East Wall and it is at the heart of the vibrant community. It first opened its doors to the children of the community in 1959, and since then has been consistent in providing an excellent standard of education to the youth of the area. Ciaran O’Riordan, Director of Bright

Motor Group commented: “We are delighted to be able to support the children of East Wall and to give back to the community by donating to such a fantastic school”. Niall Heneghan, Principal of St. Joseph's Co-ed. Primary School was ecstatic with the donation, commenting: “We are most grateful to Bright Motor Group for providing funding for extra literacy and science resources for the pupils in our school. The resources will help us to create more enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences for the children”. The East Wall showroom first opened its doors in 1988 under the ownership of the late Tom Canavan as a highly successful Volvo and Honda dealership. It was at a time when the area was in need of developments and it was a long way from the modern and progressive area that we see today. The dealership had a longstanding presence in the area under the management of both Tom Canavan Motors and more recently, Bright Motor Group.

Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 e PHEV Powers Up T

he new Mercedes-Benz CLA Coupé was designed to stand out from the crowd. With its stylish diamond radiator grille, muscular shoulders and wide rear end, it really draws attention to itself. Featuring a sleek, low profile and striking, self-assured looks, it really is unique - in a very special way. Now, Mercedes-Benz has launched a powerful plugin hybrid (PHEV) to join its petrol and diesel-powered siblings in the CLA Coupé and CLA Shooting Brake model line-up. With an electric range of up to 71kms, the battery can be charged in 5.5 hours (10-100%) from a domestic socket, and in as little as 105 minutes from a wallbox charger.

TWO TRIM LEVELS There are two specification levels in the new Mercedes-Benz CLA PHEV (badged CLA 250e) – Progressive Premium, and sporty AMG Line Premium, while power is supplied by the same 1,332cc petrol engine (that is also found elsewhere in the CLA range), along with an electric motor powered by a 10.6kWh lithium-ion battery. A slickshifting 8-speed (8G-DCT) automatic transmission transfers power to the front

wheels in a fuss-free manner. This highly-acclaimed transmission uses small magnets to aid faster actuation for shorter response times, with the added benefit of dry sump lubrication. IMPRESSIVE SPECIFICATION As we have come to expect from the MercedesBenz brand, the new CLA PHEV is generously equipped, with optional

By BREDA CORRIGAN • www.motoringmatters.ie packages and extras available in order to add personalisatin to the mix. Standard specification includes key items, such as Active Brake Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, cruise control, DYNAMIC SELECT (featuring 4 drive programmes – Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Individual), multiple airbags, heated front seats, KEYLESS-GO, folding armrest in centre console, MBUX multimedia

system with a 10.25” digital instrument display and a 10.25” media display, Mercedes-Benz emergency call system, auto lights, auto wipers, reversing camera, automatic climate control, tyre pressure monitoring system, and Smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, along with many more comfort, convenience, infotainment and safety features. TEST CAR My test car was a new Mercedes-Benz CLA 250e Coupé (PHEV) AMG Line Premium, and was finished in Polar White solid paintwork, with contrasting ARTICO leather seating in Neva Grey & Black. Producing a combined power output of 218bhp and 450Nm of torque, the 1.3-litre petrol engine, in union with the electric motor, enables the CLA 250e to sprint from 0-100km/h in just 6.8seconds, reach a top speed of 240km/h (where permitted), and consume as little as 1.3-litres of petrol for

DID YOU KNOW??

every 100kms driven on a combined driving cycle when every journey is started with a fully charged battery. Thanks to an ultra-low Co2 emission figure of 23g/km, annual road tax is just €140. Key AMG Line features include the addition of 18” AMG 5 twin-spoke light alloy wheels, AMG brushed stainless steel sports pedals with rubber studs, AMG front apron with front splitter in chrome, diamond radiator grille with pins in chrome, AMG rear apron with visible chrome tailpipe trim, AMG side sill panels in vehicle colour, sports brake system, sports seats, roof liner in black fabric, and a 3-spoke multi-function sports steering wheel in nappa leather with flattened bottom section. EXCELLENT REFINEMENT The sleek, and slippery shape of the new MercedesBenz CLA makes for excellent refinement within the car, and allows the CLA to retain the title of ‘the most

aerodynamic car in its class’. The car drives with terrific composure, glides over road undulations, and responds directly to steering, accelerator and braking inputs, with very little body roll through corners. By widening the car’s track by 63mm at the front, and 55mm at the rear, Mercedes-Benz have made the new CLA feel tangibly sharper on the road, and thoroughly enjoyable as a result. This four-door coupé really sets a high benchmark for longdistance comfort and composure. MBUX SYSTEM The cabin layout of the new CLA is identical to that of the new A-Class and oozes quality throughout, with perfectly placed levers and controls. A multi-function leatherbound steering wheel allows easy control of the car’s infotainment system and driving functions, while the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz

User Experience) system allows you to communicate with the new CLA as you would with a friend. It’s all done with natural language, by touch or with intuitive gestures and even in augmented reality. With the help of artificial intelligence, the system is able to learn from you, advise you and remember your preferences. A 395-litre boot capacity in the new CLA will be more than adequate for most, but a 40:20:40 split folding rear seat formation provides even more practicality when called upon. PRICING & VERDICT Pricing for the new Mercedes-Benz CLA 250e (PHEV) Coupé starts at €48,785 (ex-works), with my test car specification priced at €51,355 (ex-works). Thanks to its striking good looks, supreme build quality, excellent level of standard specification, and dynamic handling characteristics, the new Mercedes-Benz CLA really is in a class of its own. Bertha Benz on the Motorwagen

# The modern automobile was invented by Karl Benz, with his patent of the ‘Motorwagen’ in 1886. His wife funded his work. Her name was Bertha Ringer Benz, and she took the first road trip in a modern car – 130 miles round trip with her sons. Karl Benz had the first ever driver’s license! # The first car in the country of Nepal was a Mercedes-Benz, given to its king in 1940. # Pope Benedict XVI’s Popemobile was a Mercedes-Benz. # The ‘Mercedes’ part of Mercedes-Benz was named after Emil Jellinek’s daughter Mercedes in 1901. Jellinek was an automobile entrepreneur at the time who worked with the company. # Mercedes-Benz vehicles are manufactured in 30 countries around the world. # Not only do Mercedes-Benz vehicles help us get around day-to-day, but they also feature on racetracks around the world as high-performance race cars. # Mercedes-Benz vehicles were the first to have brakes on all four wheels, beginning in 1924. 28 MotorMarket

he first Opel Vivaro-e Hydrogen has rolled off the production line. It will now begin its emissions-free work, taking pride of place in the fleet of German manufacturer of premium domestic appliances, Miele. Opel CEO, Uwe Hochgeschurtz, and Head of Development, Marcus Lott, were present at the start of series production at Opel's headquarters in Rüsselsheim, Germany.

Suzuki tops reliability survey for 2022 S

uzuki is celebrating some very good news from the results of the 2022 What Car? Reliability Survey in which readers report on their car ownership experience from six, up to 15 years old. Of the 27 car brands measured, Suzuki is at the top of the brand league table with a score of 97.0 per cent. What Car? received over 16,300

owner responses across all manufacturers and measured 139 different used models across the industry. Owners praised Suzuki for having very few faults to report in their ownership as well as being inexpensive to repair. The Vitara recorded 100 per cent reliability with no faults at all reported from owners and was one of only three

cars measured to score 100 per cent in the survey. The good news continued for the popular Swift too as owners reported 97.8 per cent reliability and no repair bill exceeding €120 of the small faults reported. The Swift was 13 per cent up on the average small car class rating in the survey. Editor of What Car? magazine Steve Huntingford comments:

“There are plenty of good reasons to buy a Vitara but the most compelling has to be its faultless reliability record. According to owners, it’s the best small SUV in our survey with not a single Vitara causing its owner any trouble over the last 12 months. “A used Swift is another good bet if you are looking for a small car that won’t let you down”.

development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles at Opel and Stellantis. Production takes place at Opel Special Vehicles (OSV) in Rüsselsheim. With the new Vivaro-e Hydrogen, Opel is continuing its electrification offensive.

The Vivaro-e Hydrogen complements the Vivaro-e and the forthcoming Combo-e and Movano-e battery-electric vans, that will come to market in Ireland in early 2022.

DID YOU KNOW...?? # Prior to the invention of the steering wheel, drivers used a lever to steer the car. Steering wheels were invented in Cleveland, Ohio, by a man named Alexander Winton. Back in 1896, Winton began a series of inventions relating to cars and is most known for his steering wheel. # The car radio was first introduced by Chevrolet in 1922. The government wanted to ban it because it could be considered a distraction, but the ban didn't go through. By 1963, most vehicles had radios in them. # The first three-point seatbelt was introduced in 1959. The Volvo Amazon 120 and PV 544 were the first models to have the three-point seatbelt that we know today. Nils Bohlin, a Volvo engineer, is credited with the development of the seatbelts. And as of 1968, all vehicles were required to have this threepoint seatbelt as a safety feature. # The best-selling car of all time is the Toyota Corolla. Toyota has sold more than 43 million Corollas since 1966! This model is extremely popular because it is widely available all over the world. It continues to get updated and improved each year, it has good gas mileage, and it's well-known for being a reliable vehicle. # Toyota is the largest car manufacturer in the world making approximately 13,000 cars every day! # Ferrari only manufactures a maximum of 14 cars a day. The limited number of vehicles produced makes them more exclusive and valuable.

DS 3 E-TENSE

Uncompromised Electric SUV

he DS 3 is a small premium SUV that is aimed squarely at the Audi Q2 and BMW X1, along with higher-end versions of the Mazda CX-30, Toyota C-HR and Ford Puma. The DS brand is the luxury arm of iconic French brand Citroën, (now part of the Stellantis Group which includes Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Fiat, Opel, Alfa Romeo and JEEP). The DS 3 name was used before on a stylish 3-door hatchback that was marketed across Europe as a Citroën DS 3, but in 2016 the Citroën part of the name was discarded, and DS then became a standalone brand in its own right.

Additionally, the use of superior insulation in critical areas around the DS 3 Crossback ensures that road noise is kept to an absolute minimum.

There are plenty of personalisation options, with nine exterior colours, three contrasting roof colours and multiple alloy wheel design/colour combinations available throughout the range. 34 MotorMarket

RAPID CHARGE OPTION Charging the DS 3 Crossback E-TENSE from 0-100% via a 7.4kW wallbox charger will take 7 hours and 45 minutes, with a 1080% charge time of just 30 minutes from a 100kW public rapid-charge point. The DS 3 E-TENSE comes with a three-pin plug cable and a cable for public charge points too, while an App that allows you to monitor charging, as well as set the interior temperature ahead of time, can be downloaded on to a Smartphone for added convenience. TEST CAR My test car was a DS 3 E-TENSE Elegance which was finished in Artense Grey metallic paintwork. Key standard features include 17” ‘MADRID’ diamond-cut alloy wheels, front and rear parking

sensors, reversing camera, cruise control, alarm, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keyless start and a host of safety features. On the road is where the all-electric powertrain proves itself to be inspirational. Thanks to the instant rush of torque, the immediate surge associated with so many electric cars is ever present. The car builds power fast enough to keep up with fast moving traffic on a

DID YOU KNOW...?? # The world record for the highest vehicle mile is 3,039,122 miles. Irvin Gordon was able to put just over 3 million miles on his 1966 Volvo 1800S back in 2014. That is almost the same distance as 120 trips around the earth! # The largest car collection world record is 7,000+ cars held by the 29th Sultan of Brunei who owns over 7,000 cars of all different makes and models. He owns extremely rare, one-of-a-kind cars as well as more popular ones. It's enough to make any car lover jealous. # The world record for the fastest engine replacement is 42 seconds. Five Royal British marines spent two weeks practicing engine replacements until they could do it fast enough to break the world record. Since then, they have continued to hold the world record for the fastest engine replacement ever!

motorway, while the car’s soft throttle response makes it very relaxing to drive. Even at motorway speeds, refinement is particularly impressive, with very little in the way of electric motor whine, wind and road noise. Around town, light and accurate steering makes the car easy to position and manoeuvre. VERDICT, COST & WARRANTY The new DS 3 Crossback E-TENSE is an impressive electric SUV that has refinement, luxurious comfort and unique styling on its side. With a starting price of €38,949 (on the road and inclusive of an SEAI Grant and VRT relief) it is quite a lot more expensive that its petrol and diesel siblings, but immediate savings can be made due to ultra-low running costs, reduced maintenance and annual road tax of just €120. A comprehensive 5year/100,000km warranty is standard across the entire DS model range.

MUSTANG MACH-E ARRIVES IN IRELAND

he all-new, all-electric Mustang Mach-E – the first production Ford ever developed from the ground-up to deliver pure-electric, zero-emission driving – has arrived in Ireland. Mustang Mach-E introduces the freedom, performance and iconic character of the world’s best-selling sports car to all-electric vehicle customers. Powered by a responsive, energy-efficient, battery-electric drivetrain, the first-ever SUV member of the Mustang family is offered with a choice of single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive performance that can deliver supercar-comparable 0-100 km/h acceleration in as little as 3.7 seconds. Standard and extended-range battery options eliminate range anxiety – offering up to 610 km WLTP pureelectric driving range between charges for worry-free ownership and peace-of-mind. Every Mustang Mach E will offer Whisper, Active and Untamed drive modes that match driving dynamics and sensory experiences to the driver’s mood. The coupe-silhouetted, five-seat SUV will also get better over time using Ford Power Up Software Updates. Mustang Mach-E’s all-new platform has been developed by Ford Team Edison to take full advantage of

the performance-enhancing weight distribution and torque delivery of an all-electric powertrain. Mustang Mach-E offers One Pedal Drive capability that helps return more kinetic energy to the battery, for greater efficiency. Acceleration and deceleration are controlled through pressing or lifting-off the accelerator pedal respectively – for the authentic all-electric driving experience. The brake pedal remains active for situations where greater braking power is required and customers have the ability to switch the One Pedal Drive feature off from the SYNC 4A menu. From the outside, the Mustang Mach-E is instantly recognisable as a Mustang with signature elements such as its long, powerful bonnet, rear-haunch design, aggressive headlights and trademark tri-bar taillamps. Inside, Ford engineers and designers were able to create a vehicle that’s not only true to Mustang but also maximises SUV space for five passengers and luggage, supported by Ford’s new all-electric architecture that places batteries inside the underbody. In Ireland, Mustang Mach-E is offered in three series: RWD, AWD and GT, as well as a limited number of First Edition vehicles available at launch.

All-New KIA EV6 – Truly Inspirational T

he all-new Kia EV6 brings long-range, zero-emissions power, high-tech ultrafast charging, and distinctive crossover styling to the all-electric vehicle market. The EV6 is Kia’s first car to be based on the company’s highly advanced and dedicated architecture designed specifically for battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Kia has offered electric models such as the e-Niro and Soul EV for several years now but the EV6 is their first zero-emissions car designed from the ground up, rather that sharing a platform with petrol and diesel-engine models. The EV6 was designed under Kia’s new design philosophy, which comprises a new visual identity evoking positive forces and natural energy with contrasting combinations of sharp styling elements and sculpted shapes. As a result, the sleek, funky, and undeniably modern look of the EV6 provides terrific visual appeal to the mix.

By DECLAN GLYNN • www.motoringmatters.ie

HIGH-TECH CHARGING CAPABILITY The EV6 is powered exclusively by electric energy, while the high-tech 800V charging capability means the EV6 can go from 10 to 80 per-cent battery charge in just 18 minutes. To help preserve energy in the battery, the EV6 is fitted with energyrecuperation technologies to maximise driving range. This smart regenerative braking system is operated by paddle shifters behind the steering wheel so drivers can quickly and easily slow the car and recuperate kinetic energy to maximise driving range and efficiency. Drivers can choose from six regenerative braking levels (none, 1 to 3, ‘i-PEDAL’, or auto mode), depending on the desired level of

energy recuperation. The system’s ‘i-PEDAL’ driving mode also allows the car to harvest the maximum amount of energy from its brakes and enables the driver to bring the car to a gentle halt without needing to push the brake pedal. EARTH & GT LINE TRIM OPTIONS The Kia EV6 is offered in two highly-specified trim levels – EV6 Earth and EV6 GT Line – both of which are driven by the rear wheels. The Earth model sits on 19-inch alloy wheels and has a full charge range of 528kms, while the GT Line comes with 20-inch alloy wheels and can achieve up to 506kms from a single charge. Both models feature a 77.4 kWh long-range battery

pack paired with a 229PS (226bhp) electric motor, while a heat pump also comes as standard. The EV6 Earth comes with a host of comfort, convenience and safety features as standard including Dual 12.3-inch Curved Driver Display Screens, UVO Connect, charcoal grey vegan leather upholstery with Premium Relaxation Seats (electrically operated and heated in the front), memory driver’s seat, Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, rear privacy glass, flush door handles, satellite navigation, adaptive cruise control, LED headlamps and a Smart Power Tailgate. Upgrading to the GT Line brings with it a panoramic sunroof, remote smart parking, ventilated front

seats, heated rear seats, GT styling pack, adaptive LED lights, blind spot monitoring system, head-up display, suede/vegan leather interior, and a 360-degree surround view monitor. The generous 2.9-metre wheelbase in the EV6 ensures excellent head, leg, and elbow room for front seat occupants and, with no need to house a central transmission tunnel, the EV6’s flat floor provides exceptional space and comfort for rear seat occupants too. Premium materials are used throughout the cabin of the EV6 for a welcoming feel, while their selection has also been chosen for utmost durability. Sustainable materials have been used, from vegan leather trims to seat fabrics and floor carpet made using recycled plastics, equivalent to 111 plastic 500ml water bottles. Boot space in the EV6 measures in at an

impressive 490-litres, but this can be expanded easily by dropping the rear seat backs when the need arises. VEHICLE-TO-LOAD FUNCTION The charging system in the EV6 is more flexible than previous generation BEVs thanks to an Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). The ICCU enables a new vehicle-to-load (V2L) function, which can discharge up to 3.6kW of power from the vehicle battery via a simple adapter that turns the exterior charging plug into a power socket. This ingenious function enables the EV6 to help charge anything from external domestic appliances to other electric vehicles. For example, the V2L function can operate a 55-inch television and airconditioning unit simultaneously for more than 24 hours. Inside the cabin, a

convenient charging port located under the rear seats allows passengers to charge devices from the vehicle’s battery without the need for additional adapters. CAR ON REVIEW My EV6 GT Line review car, which was finished in Aurora Black Pearl paintwork, impressed me greatly from the moment I set eyes on it. The striking exterior of the EV6 is complimented by an equally striking interior design that oozes style, comfort, and refinement in equal measure, while cutting-edge technology and a suite of advanced safety systems provide terrific peace of mind for all occupants. The rear-wheel drive EV6 is capable of sprinting from 0-100km/h in just 6.2seconds and does so in a super- smooth manner, while it remains as composed on bumpy and twisty back roads as it does on smooth motorway road

surfaces. Customisable drive modes provide the driver with the option to switch between Sport, Eco and Normal modes to suit their individual driving style, while the sporty handling and steering characteristics of the EV6 transform it into a highly accomplished allrounder. VERDICT & PRICING The new Kia EV6 delivers the very best characteristics and attributes of a fully electric car without compromise. As a result, the EV6 blends excitement with efficiency, responsive dynamics with rapid charging, and swift performance with zeroemissions driving. With the EV6 Earth and EV6 GT Line priced at €50,000 and €54,345 respectively (after SEAI Grant & VRT relief) outstanding value for money is guaranteed, while a 7year/150,000km warranty comes as standard.

Nissan announces all-new electric compact car coming to Europe

issan has announced an all-new compact electric vehicle is coming to European markets. Planned to be manufactured in the Renault ElectriCity centre in France, the new car will succeed the iconic Nissan Micra as the entry-level vehicle in the Nissan line-up. The Europe region is already playing a key role in driving electrification under Nissan’s Ambition 2030 vision, with new vehicles and technologies arriving soon including the new Nissan Ariya, a new EV crossover and Nissan’s unique e-POWER technology arriving in Europe in the new Qashqai and X-Trail. The all-new electric compact car will further enhance this future line-up. Announced today as part of the new Alliance 2030 roadmap, it is designed by Nissan and engineered and manufactured by Renault on the Alliance CMF B-EV platform. This platform enables the companies to maintain unique styling for their respective products, as demonstrated by the design preview

of the new vehicle. “This all-new model will be designed by Nissan and engineered and manufactured by Renault using our new common platform, maximising the use of our Alliance assets whilemaintaining its Nissan-ness,” said Nissan Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta. “This is a great example of the Alliance’s ‘smart differentiation’ approach. Succeeding our iconic Micra, I am sure this new model will provide further excitement to our customers in Europe.” The future compact EV was announced as part of Alliance 2030, a common roadmap announced by Renault, Nissan &amp; Mitsubishi Motors that focuses on EVs and connected mobility activities. The new compact EV adds to the portfolio of Nissan vehicles manufactured by Renault in France, which include Nissan’s portfolio of LCVs, notably the new Nissan Townstar, which is succeeding the trailblazing e-NV200 as Nissan’s small electric van. 36 MotorMarket

Further product information, including naming, launch timing and technical details, will be released in due course.

Continental Tyres Irish Car of the Year returns for 2022

Joint Chairmen of the Irish Car of the Year Committee, Anthony Conlon and Cathal Doyle studying the form of the candidates for the Continental Tyres Irish Car of the Year awards 2022 watched over by Tom Dennigan (centre) from awards sponsor Continental Tyres. Picture: Finbarr O’Rourke

he COVID-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of life in Ireland over the past two years and it particularly hit the motor industry in a very hard way. It also lead to the cancellation of the Continental Tyres Irish Car of the Year awards programme

in 2021. However, the Irish Car of the Year Committee is eager to get the programme back on track and to ensure that the awards for the best cars on the Irish market be given out for 2022. According to JointChairman of the Irish Car of the Year Committee, Anthony

Conlon: “It is an important service that myself and the other motoring journalists, who vote on the awards, provide to the Irish car buying public – we help to make sense of the mindboggling array of cars that are launched here each year, highlighting the best

models in each category that are best suited to the needs of Irish drivers. “And even though the pandemic has caused some disruption and delay in the production of some models, there has still been an impressive crop of cars for us to judge as part of the 2022 awards programme”. Cathal Doyle, JointChairman of the Irish Car of the Year Committee, added: “With half of the contenders for this year’s Continental Tyres Irish Car of the Year awards available as full electric vehicles, the extent to which the worldwide motor industry is reinventing itself is clear. “That said, there are still many exciting new petrol and diesel models being launched as well as an ever increasing choice of hybrid options, ensuring there is a vehicle on sale to meet the needs of every Irish customer.” Tom Dennigan of awards sponsor, German premium
