Kia sell their 500,000th car in the UK – a cee’d ‘4’ 1.6 CRDi

Dale & Amy Pollard receive the keys to Kia’s 500,000th UK car Kia arrived in the UK in 1991 as a seller of budget cars, but in recent years Kia, along with sister company Hyundai, has moved very much in to the mainstream, with a range of credible cars that now sell on merit, not just price. That turn round for Kia has seen sales rising strongly to the point where they have now sold 5000,000 Kias since the marque first arrived in the UK. The milestone car is a cee’d ‘4’ 1.6 CRDi and has been delivered to a married couple in Leicester - Dale and Amy Pollard – who got a bit of special treatment from their Kia dealers - Kia Sandicliffe – at a handover ceremony attended by Stuart Wardle from Kia and Sandicliffe’s John Marsh.

Renault Alpine A110-50 to be developed with Caterham

It seems the impressive Renault Alpine A110-50 is heading for production with Caterham, not Lotus, as development partner. Which is part of the reason Renault want a partner on-board to help with development and production of the Renault Alpine A110-50 – a new Alpine based on a Megane platform with a DeZir body – and turn it, hopefully, from a track concept to the first Alpine for the road in twenty years. It had been mooted that Renault were eyeing up Lotus to partner on the Alpine A110-50, but according to a report from Autocar they are instead working with Caterham to bring the A110-50 to life.

New 2014 Range Rover Sport: OFFICIAL

The new 2014 Range Rover Sport has arrived with weight savings of up to 420kg, a 7 seat option and a hybrid Range Rover Sport and 4.4 V8 diesel to follow. We already know how the new Sport looks – we’ve had enough spy photos and official photos floating around to not need to go over that again – so the meat of the interest is what lies below the surface. Key to the potential of the new Range Rover Sport is a big weight loss – up to 420kg – and what Land Rover are calling ‘the brand’s best-ever on-road dynamics’ thanks to a breakthrough lightweight suspension and dynamic chassis technologies claimed to offer a unique blend of agile handling and exceptional comfort.
