 | Hyundai
has announced prices for the new ix20.
On
sale from 18 November, it will be available with three drivetrain options and
three generously equipped trim levels.
The
three trim grades - Classic, Active and Style - are unique to the UK and have
been carefully created to reflect the demands and high expectations of British
buyers. | The
entry level Classic features a height adjustable driver's seat, ESP, air
conditioning, six airbags, active head restraints, radio/CD audio system with
six speakers, plus CD, MP3, RDS and USB-/AUX-/iPOD-input capabilities. Prices
start at £11,595 for the 1.4 petrol. Buyers wanting the exceptional economy of
the diesel will pay an extra £1,400.
The
next, and anticipated most popular, trim level is the mid-range Active. It
gains a carefully-selected package designed to appeal to a younger family buyer
demanding extra style and convenience. Externally there are 16-inch alloy
wheels, body coloured door handles and mirrors which are electrically
adjustable and heated and reversing sensors.Inside, convenience comes in the
form of Bluetooth phone connectivity, electric rear windows and audio controls
on the leather-trimmed steering wheel.The Active costs £1,100 more than the
Classic, starting at £12,695 for the 1.4-litre petrol, £14,095 for the diesel
and £14,095 for the 1.6-litre petrol auto.
The
range-topping Style specification adds £1,000. The most striking of these
extras is a dual-panel panoramic glass sunroof with UV filter, which spans the
front and rear seats. The front panel offers a tilt and sliding function to let
the fresh air - as well as light - into the cabin.
To
further improve the looks and visibility of the ix20 Style from the outside,
front fog lights are standard and the door mirrors are fitted with integrated
side repeater indicators. To keep these safe on narrower roads, they fold
electrically. The Style range starts at £13,695 for the 1.4-litre petrol,
£15,095 for the diesel and £15,095 for the 1.6-litre petrol auto. | | | | Citroën's
multi award-winning supermini MPV, C3 Picasso, will receive some smart new
updates from 1 November.
The
biggest small car on the road is now available with a new Euro 5 HDi 110 engine
and 6-speed transmission, plus there is the addition of a Connecting Box (USB
and Bluetooth® connectivity) as standard specification on VTR+ and Exclusive
trim levels.
Citroën
has also introduced a tasty new limited edition to the innovative MPV's line-up
- the C3 Picasso BLACKCHERRY. |  |
The
Citroën C3 Picasso range now benefits from a full Euro 5 compliant engine
line-up and all HDi models qualify for free VED in the first year. The
petrol 1.4 VTi 95hp VT and the 1.6HDi 90hp VT have been re-homologated and now
offer improved fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions.
Combined cycle fuel economy increases from 42.8mpg to 44.1mpg and 60.1mpg to
61.4mpg respectively.
CO2
emissions are down 4g/km on both models, resulting in reduced BIK tax rates
(down 2 bands). The VED also reduces for both models, from band G to F and band
D to C respectively. Prices rise from £12,695 to £16,795 across the ten
model range. |
