Just like the recently revealed ActiveHybrid 5, the BMW Active Hybrid 3 will get a 302bhp twin-turbo six-pot (the same engine as the 335i) together with an electric motor which throws an additional 53bhp in to the mix. That should mean a 0-60mph of around 5.5 seconds (although BMW has given us no performance figures) and it will give 44mpg, exactly the same as the bigger ActiveHybrid 5 – and not exactly spectacular.

So as we’re supposedly in the middle of summer – a dead time for SUV sales of any sort – Skoda are making potential buyers an offer they can’t ignore with the launch of the Yeti Adventure Special Edition, offering unique features and £2,250 of extra equipment over the Yeti SE.
