New Hyundai i30 gets 5 Star Euro NCAP rating

New Hyundai i30 gets 5 Star Euro NCAP The new Hyundai i30 is back in the news with an impressive 5 Star Euro NCAP rating in the latest round of tests. The new Hyundai got off to a good start when VW’s boss complained it was too well made, and since then Hyundai has gone on to prove that point by letting a ‘Flange’ of Baboons loose on the new i30 without any significant harm – to baboons or the i30. Now the official word on the i3o’s quality – certainly in terms of safety – comes with the award of 5 Stars in the latest round of Euro NCAP testing, making the new i30 one of the safest cars in the C-segment.

2013 VW Golf TDI BlueMotion Mk 7 costs from £20,335

Starting at £20,335 for the 3-door BlueMotion and rising to £20,990 for the 5-door, the new Golf also emits just 85g/km CO2 (which would have been enough for free London Congestion charging, but not any more) which is 15 per cent better than the previous Mk 6 TDI BlueMotion managed. VW has managed to tweak the Golf BlueMotion’s economy figures still further by reducing weight, fitting super low rolling resistance tyres (that run with higher pressure), longer gear ratios, stop-start and aerodynamic tweaks. Thos aerodynamic tweaks includes modifications to the front of the Golf to reduce drag by nearly 10 per cent, adding a roof spoiler, air guide elements on the back window, a masked front grill, smoother underfloor and a reduction of ride height by 15mm.

Infiniti M Saloon teased

This is the 'tease' for the Infiniti M Saloon But now Infiniti are ramping up interest in the next generation Infiniti M Saloon (which we haven’t had in Europe so far – think Lexus LS by Nissan) by releasing the teaser image you see here. The Infiniti M will slot in above the Infiniti G37 as a luxury high-performance car and, from this teaser image, it does look as if it’s taken some of the swoopy-coupe lines we saw in the Infiniti Essence Concept back at Geneva. There is no word yet on the powertrain for the Infiniti M, but the Infiniti Essence Concept was said to sport a V6 lump coupled to an electric motor giving the equivalent of 590bhp.
