Automatic versions of the latest economy focused Audi
A3 models are the first in the premium sector to benefit from the
latest engine start-stop technology, which has already helped to cut
emissions in manual transmission TDI versions to a sector-leading
109g/km.
The new highly efficient 1.4 TFSI petrol and 1.6 TDI versions of the A3
equipped with the acclaimed S tronic twin-clutch automatic transmission
will spearhead the new technology, which also goes hand-in-hand with a
recuperation system to harness braking energy and costs from £18,300.

Kia Motors Corporation has taken the wraps off its
new Cadenza, the production version of its VG concept car – an all-new
saloon car designed to deliver refinement, safety and emotional
satisfaction in an ‘ideal’ driving package.
The stylish luxury sedan, which is to be called ‘Cadenza’ in markets
outside of Korea, will make its overseas premiere at motor shows in the
Middle East, towards the end of the year and the UK next year.
The Cadenza name is derived from an Italian musical term used to
describe an elaborate, ornamental flourish for a concerto or aria. | | |  |
