Range Rover Sport revised for 2012

Range Rover has revised the Range Rover Sport for 2012 – and refinement is the name of the game. It has a new eight-speed auto ‘box and a host of toys including a new 17-speaker audio system and voice command. Land Rover may talk of a focus on reducing emissions, but ironically the supercharged 510bhp 5.0 petrol V8 remains unchanged.

Euro NCAP tests for C4, Swift, CR-Z and iX35

The results from the latest round of Euro NCAP crash tests are in, and - surprise, surprise - every car tested came away with a maximum five-star safety rating. The new Citroen C4, Suzuki Swift, Honda CR-Z hybrid and Hyundai iX35 were all put through their paces, and each passed with flying colours. The latest results, while highlighting how far car safety has come in recent years (remember the notorious Rover 100 fiasco of 1997?), are bound to reignite the growing debate that the tests - or at least the marks awarded - need to show more differentiation between models.

New Infiniti Q50 2.0 litre Turbo – Price from £31,755

New Infiniti Q50 2.0 litre Turbo costs from £31,755 The Infiniti Q50 should be Infiniti’s best chance to convince buyers Infiniti is a viable option in the premium sector and a sensible alternative to the BMW 3 Series. That perception will be helped – a bit – by the arrival of the Infinito Q50 with another engine option, this one a 2.0 litre Turbo petrol with 211 bhp, which comes with a seven-speed automatic as standard. Oddly, Infiniti are shy of delivering any performance or economy data for the new 2.0 litre Turbo, so we’re guessing the figures don’t really impress too much.
