  • 2012 Land Rover Defender Price £20 995

    Land Rover has announced its new 2012 Defender, which comes with EURO 5 2.2 litre common rail diesel engine replacing the old EU4 2.4 litre unit.

    Still, besides the smaller capacity, the new engine delivers the same amount of power, torque and the economy is even better. In EU5 markets, the new engine comes with a DPF (diesel particulate filter) to ensure the lowest possible levels of regulated emissions.

    “The substantial improvements to the Defender in 2007 transformed its on-road refinement and comfort whilst extending its legendary capability off-road for which Defender is synonymous. With the introduction of the new 2.2-litre diesel engine and two option packs, the Defender for 2012 now offers greater customer choice than ever before,” said John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director.

    The new 2.2 litre diesel delivers 122PS (90 kW) at 3500RPM and 360Nm (266 lb-ft) at 2000RPM. The top speed is 144 km/h (90 mph). The engine is mated to a GFT MT 82 6-speed gearbox.

    2012 Land Rover Defender is priced at £20 995 OTR and it will hit the UK market in November this year.

    Two new option packs

    • Comfort Pack – Air conditioning, CD Player with auxiliary input, electric windows and remote central locking. The Comfort Pack costs £1650.
    • Off-Road Pack – ABS, heavy duty rim and MTR tyre, tow ball and under-ride protection bar. The Off-Road Pack costs £1500.

  • Fiat releases new 500 MultiJet

    The Fiat 500 has been the forerunner of many new technologies and features such as Start&Stop, along with eco:Drive, Blue&Me, and Euro 5 engines. Now, Fiat’s popular range of city cars is to be further enhanced with the introduction of a powerful new 1.3-litre 16-valve MultiJet diesel engine.

    The range’s out-going 75bhp MultiJet unit is being replaced with a more potent but also more environmentally-friendly 95bhp ‘MultiJet II’ version, which not only boasts improved mpg and CO2 emissions figures, but also incorporates Fiat’s acclaimed Start&Stop technology to further reduce fuel consumption when driving around town. The engine will become the most powerful diesel unit available in the A segment. (more…)

  • Peugeot 308 CC Gets Six Appeal

    The Peugeot 308 CC now has extra six appeal with the introduction of a new 1.6 litre 156 bhp Euro 5 THP turbo-charged petrol engine and a new 6-speed automatic gearbox.

    Positioned as the flagship of the 308 CC petrol range the new 308 CC THP 156 automatic sees the introduction of a new “AT6” 6-speed automatic gearbox, further strengthening the vehicle’s image as a distinctive and dynamic vehicle.

    The new “AT6” automatic gearbox has been developed by “Aisin AW” to specifications defined by the PSA Peugeot Citroën group. Close in engineering terms to the “AM6” (fitted to the group’s most powerful HDi diesel engines – V6 HDi, 2.2 litre and 2.0 litre HDi), this new gearbox is designed to withstand a maximum torque of 300 Nm (450 Nm for the AM6).

  • Fiat Punto Evo – Evolution Of The Species

    Think small cars and a string of super-successful Fiats should spring to mind: the ground-breaking 600, the trend-setting 127, the innovative Uno, and progressive Punto.

    The Fiat 127, first of the ‘superminis’, was voted Car of the Year 1972 and was destined to become Europe’s best-selling car, continuing in production until the introduction of the Fiat Uno in 1983, by which time a total of 5.6 million had been built.

    Compared with the 127, the Uno was some 6cm shorter and a similar amount taller. Voted Car of the Year 1984, it was also destined to be Europe’s best-seller, with no less than 2.5 million sold in just four years, and a total production run of more than six million. (more…)

  • Fiat Punto Evo

    Punto Evo made its first debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The badge “Evo” highlights a level of evolution in car design that is capable of satisfying customers who are increasingly demanding in terms of technology, driveability and respect for the environment.

    Fiat Punto Evo will be powered by a wide range of Euro 5 Engines. There will be second-generation 1.3 litre MultiJet and the 1.4 litre MultiAir engines. The range is going to be reinforced by hybrid methane and LPG systems to achieve the best eco-friendly engines in the segment. (more…)

  • Alfa Romeo 159 with whole new range of engines

    Turbo-charging will take place in almost every new engine developed by manufacturers. It is very useful way for boosting the engine power and lowering the consumption and harmful emissions.

    The engineers from Alfa Romeo are bringing to your attention their new 1750 TBi – 200bhp petrol engine and the 2.0JTDm diesel with 170bhp. (more…)

  • Volkswagen Three-Door Polo Unveiled Ahead Of Frankfurt Show

    The new three-door Polo has been unveiled ahead of its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

    Drawing on the same clean, sharp lines adopted by the five-door model the new Polo three-door features a more aggressive stance, with a pronounced kink in the window line just above a sharp crease running the length of the car. The overall effect is a cohesive, clutter-free design that makes the new Polo appear lower and wider than it really is. (more…)

  • Citroen DS3 hit the streets in 2010

    The new Citroen DS3 will be available in Spring 2010. The expectations for this model are very big, because of innovate vehicle design and the new more powerful and fuel efficient engines. The 3 petrol engines are co-developed with BMW, which is a proof of excellence.

    The two HDi diesels – a 90bhp and an 110bhp – are fitted with Citroën’s lauded DPFS (Diesel Particulate Filter System) and the three petrol engines – VTi 95, VTi 120 and THP 150 – are fitted with either 5 or 6 speed manual gearboxes. (more…)

  • Vauxhall Astra with whole new range of greener engines

    Seems like all car makers try to make the greenest car. The big naturally aspirated engines are history, because small turbo charged engines take their place. More power efficient, less CO2 is the perfect formula for catching customer attention.

    Vauxhall’s all new Astra will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show on September 15 with a highly competitive line-up of petrol and diesel engines boasting reductions in CO2 over almost all equivalent models in the current Astra range. (more…)

  • Peugeot Launches The 207 Economique

    Europe’s top selling small hatchback, the Peugeot 207, is now even “greener” with the introduction of the new 207 Economique and Economique + which emit only 99g/km of CO2.

    In 2008, one in every six new cars sold that emit less than 120 g/km of CO2 was a Peugeot. Peugeot hold the protection of the environment as a key design strength in all its vehicles and is continuously developing them to reduce their emissions to the lowest possible level. (more…)

  • Fiat Sedici: The official car of the Juventus camp

  • Volkswagen brings the new Golf GTD to market

    The Golf model lineup has been growing by leaps and bounds: At the end of 2008, the sixth generation of the bestseller was launched. Shortly thereafter, in early 2009, the new Golf Plus appeared. Then, the current Golf GTI was vaulted to center stage, closely followed by the new Golf Variant. And now the lineup continues: with the new Golf GTD. Its 125 kW / 170 PS power level makes it the highest-performance production Golf with a diesel engine today. (more…)
