    The cars run of 18-inch ‘Diamant’ wheels as a standard. They come fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres in the appropriate dimension. At the rear, the lacquered black diffuser and stylish twin exhaust pipes lend these Peugeots more distinctiveness. GT signature is integrated into the tailgate, and can be also seen on the front grille and wheel arches. The range of colours for these models has been extended via the addition of the Magnetic Blue shade.

    Inside, there is more ambience, created by the roof lining and upper window pillars which have been finished in anthracite. Red stitching is what adds a performance air to the upholstery trim and it can be seen on the dashboard, door panels, gear lever gaiter and floor mats. Aluminium has been used for the pedals, while stainless steel sill finishers – for the door apertures.

    Next, the rride height has been lowered by 7 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear. The engine range comprises of one petrol and one diesel unit, which already meet the Euro 6 emissions standards.

    Precisely, the four-cylinder 1.6-litre THP 205 Stop&Start petrol engine is coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox. It generates 285 Nm (210 lb-ft) of torque, available between 1,750 and 4,500rpm. The CO2 emissions and fuel consumption is rated at just of 130g/km and 50.4mpg.

    The second powertrain is the four-cylinder 2.0-litre BlueHDi 180 diesel. It produces its maximum power of 180 hp (132 kW) at 3,750rpm and its maximum torque of 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) at 2,000rpm. The CO2 emissions here are of just 103g, equal to fuel consumption of 70.6 mpg.

At the front, the 330 mm diameter and 30mm thick discs are gripped by floating calipers with 60 mm pistons. On the other side of the cars, the discs are 268 mm diameter on 308 GT and 290 mm on 308 GT SW.

There are also interior improvements and upgraded infotainment system. The many gains of the new A6 will be also shared by the 2016 A6 allroad, S6, S6 Avant and RS 6 Avant models.

    Precisely, revisions have been made to the Singleframe grille, the air inlets, the bumpers, the side sills, the rear lights and the tailpipes. A very exciting highlight here is the addition of xenon headlamps as standard on the A6 SE trim levels. The LED headlights and the dynamic ‘sweeping’ rear indicators are a no-cost option for the S line versions and above.

    The Matrix LED headlights incorporate clusters of LED bulbs that can be individually dimmed when sensors detect oncoming or following traffic to automatically divert their beams around obstacles. They are optional for all A6 and S6 variants and standard for the RS 6 Avant. 

    The spacious interior, which in the Avant is combined with a 565-litre load bay, features new Lunar Silver upholstery and headlining colour choice for S line versions.

    The engine line-up for the 2016 A6 and A6 Avant will comprise four TDI engines with either four or six cylinders and either single or twin turbo charging. The most efficient engine is the 2.0-litre TDI four-cylinder which produces 190 hp (140 kW) –and will power the Saloon and Avant. This powerplant returns up to 64 mpg and 114g/km of CO2 emissions.

    The trio of 3.0-litre six-cylinder TDI ‘clean diesel’ engines begins with a single-turbo V6 unit. This one produces 218 hp (160 kW) and is followed by a 272 hp (200 kW) variant. At the top of the range stays the 3.0 TDI clean diesel biturbo, which generates 320 hp (235 kW). The last engine is coupled with an eight‑speed tiptronic automatic transmission. All other engine variants are linked to either a six‑speed manual gearbox or a seven‑speed S tronic twin-clutch transmission.

    Furthermore, sports suspension has been lowered by 20 mm as a standard for the A6 S line, while this is optional for the SE model. The Audi drive select dynamic handling system is standard. Next, the 2016 Audi A6 allroad Quattro is based on the A6 Avant. This model features a raised body accentuated by wheel arch extensions and stainless steel protectors. It rides on adaptive air suspension with allroad-specific settings and is powered by three 3.0‑litre V6 TDI engines.

This is a twin turbo V8 unit which generates 450 hp (331 kW), and can accelerate the Saloon from rest to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, and S6 Avant – in 4.6 seconds.

  • The BMW 2-Series Active Tourer

    2015-bmw-2-series-active-tourer-t2015-bmw-2-series-active-tourer-651 BMW is presenting the first front wheel drive car, the all new 2 series Active Tourer. The car measurements are about 4,342 mm long; 1,555 mm in height and 1,800 mm wide, it fits perfectly for city area usage. There are new lightweight turbocharged engines with three and four cylinders. The two models’ specs are as follows (petrol and diesel):

    • For the BMW 218 i SE priced at £22,150 with 136 hp (101 kW), along with its 220 Nm(162 lb-ft) the ride accelerates from 0 to 62 mph for 9.3 seconds with top speed of 124 mph (199 kph). The car releases 115 CO2 emissions (g/km).
    • The BMW 218d SE model’s price is £24,205. If we were to compare these two models, in my opinion, this one is the winner. The 150 hp (111 kW) with around 330 Nm (243 lb-ft) allows it to go form 0 to 62 mph for 8.9 seconds. The car’s top speed is a little bit higher than the first model, right about 127 (204 kph) mph, with releasing 109 CO2 emissions (g/km).

    Of course there are lots of options with which you can upgrade your ride.Which inevitable leads to spending pay extra cash, but at the end you would have your own uniquely designed exterior. There are four different styles you can choose from, like a sport line for instance. For example bi-LED front and rear headlights which are optional.There will be a choice of manual and automatic gearboxes for most of the engines.

    This compact premium car is both luxurious and sporty at the same time. It has a really long wheel base and a high roof line, which all together provide a lot of space inside. Talking about lots of space, when I first saw this car I was amazed how spacious it was, along with its huge trunk. The rear seats can be slide forwards and backwards  to alter luggage space behind thus allowing more legroom as well. The doors open widely so it’s easy to get inside.

    What I enjoy about the interior is that is well design and functional its red stitching everywhere which gives the car a sporty look. The front and back seats provide a lot of headspace. A 6.5 inch big entertainment display, but very wide. In the middle of the backseats there is an armrest with a little compartment in its back and two cup holders which are able to fit in even big bottles. For a first time there is a full color head-up display which extends between the windscreeen and the steering wheel. This enables the driver the comfort of reading all the necessary safety information he needs without the need to divert their sight from the road.

    Spacious, compact premium car The Active Tourer allows you to store up to the amazing 420 kg inside the car, which I must say is a lot.There is another  storage under the floor which can fit in about 70 litres. With its large tailgate and flat load floor, the boot can hold up to 486 litres. By folding all rear seats the space increases to 1,510 litres. However I dislike the cupholders placement which is really awkward.

    Overall, this BMW is a great family car allowing lots of luggage to be stored. It combines the modern and luxury together with the comfort and style while driving safely on the road. 2015-bmw-2-series-active-tourer-651-(2)
