By jettisoning up to 325kg in weight compared with its predecessor the all-new Audi Q7 is perfectly placed to capitalise on the fuel-saving capabilities of advanced new engines like the 218PS V6 TDI, which has just joined the range.
Complementing the 272PS version of this remarkably efficient and refined 3.0-litre unit, which spearheaded the launch of the re-engineered seven-seat luxury SUV, the new lower output option is capable of returning in excess of 49mpg with CO2 emissions of as little as 148g/km.
The new Audi Q7 3.0 TDI quattro 218PS is available in SE and S line specification priced from £47,755 OTR, and is due with its first UK customers in October.
Honda’s much anticipated successor to the original crossover, the HR-V, has landed in the UK, with the first shipment having arrived into the Bristol docks.
With pricing starting at £17,995 or from just £149 a month on PCP with a 30% deposit for the entry-level S grade petrol model, the new HR-V tops out at £24,945 for the flagship EX diesel and is available with a highly 120 PS 1.6 litre i-DTEC diesel or 130 PS 1.5 litre i-VTEC petrol engine.
