SEAT Alhambra – A True Family Vehicle

The brand of SEAT seems to becoming more and more popular these days and much of this can be attributed to satisfying and unique designs that seem to keep on coming off the production line. And now with the Alhambra families are given the opportunity to own what SEAT themselves describe as being a vehicle that is “designed for families that don’t like coming second”. So let’s take a closer look….. This is indeed an entry into the MPV sector of the market and is like no other used SEAT model of the past. It provides excellent amounts of space and is able to cater for all passengers in sheer comfort. And at the same time the vehicle provides a sense of being a sports car due to its impressive handling and quick response to driver interaction. What this does is put an element of excitement and joy behind the wheel, which is not something that is normally associated with a family car. However, the new and used SEAT Alhambra is certainly no ordinary car and should be rewarded for its large number of unique advantages. Being an MPV, space quality is vitally important and the Alhambra provides this in abundance. But, this is not the only feature that stands out; there really is many more. Versatility in a family car is something that is quite important and, like with the amount of space on offer, the Alhambra from SEAT really does provide in this area as well. The SEAT slogan of “Auto Emocion” is definitely valid and accurate marketing content for this vehicle!

Porsche Cayenne – A Risk worth Taking

When the news first came out that Porsche was going to enter their first SUV into the market, it was met with some elements of shock from both the industry and Porsche enthusiasts. After all, this was a company that had for so long been associated with sports cars of the Coupe type and so it appeared that there was a drastic change of direction taking place. In total there is five different versions of the new and used Porsche Cayenne that is available to consumers; the standard petrol version, the standard Diesel version, the Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid and also the Cayenne Turbo. So from this array of offerings, consumers do have a good choice to choose from if they are indeed considering the purchase of a new or used Porsche Cayenne. The Turbo version is the most advanced of the five and it achieves 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 4.7 seconds; hugely impressive if you consider the size of the vehicle. It also has a top speed of 173 miles per hour and generates 500 hp at 6,000 rpm. However, to have the pleasure of driving the Cayenne Turbo it will cost. Being a Porsche vehicle there is naturally going to be a high price associated when buying a brand new unit simply because of the sheer quality on offer. So to buy a top of the range Porsche Cayenne Turbo it will set you back around £81,500, which is definitely in the top end price bracket. Nonetheless, this is certainly a case of getting what you pay for.

Peugeot 5008 – A New Type of Vehicle

The new 5008 model from Peugeot is the companies’ first offering in the compact MPV market. Many critics are welcoming this addition and are already saying that it is a near on perfect family vehicle. Exterior-wise the Peugeot 5008 provides something a little different compared to others in the same class. Some might say that it looks a little bit like a spaceship when viewing from the outside whereas others will regard it as being a new and innovative approach to vehicle design. This car is like no other used Peugeot auto from the past; it is very much a step into the future. Inside there is lots of space available, which is ideal when transporting the family on a road trip that may involve a long journey. In total there is up to seven seating areas and so plenty of flexibility is provided. Another feature that will definitely come to use is the various storage areas that are available, which will no doubt help to hide some of the clutter that will be accumulated by the kids! The panoramic sunroof makes for a clear and visible driving experience and is perfectly designed to take in a nice summers evening. In terms of the technology that is included in the car the 5008 provides numerous offerings that really do make it a stand out unit in the MPV marketplace. From the quality of the display to the connection tools available, this is a Peugeot that really does deliver in so many areas.

The New Breed of MINI Cars

As we all know the used Mini from the 1960’s period was a superb and iconic car that very much captured the attention of the general public. It was the most endeavoured piece of machinery during its time and many found it to be a crying shame that its production had to come to an end. Of course BMW has since taken over the realm of the design and bought the rights to construct the new type of MINI that has now gone on to act as a true and honourable replacement for its predecessor. Many actually believe that it has not only replaced the used Mini of old, but it has also clearly surpassed all initial expectations that were created by car critics and the general public. BMW being BMW have obviously turned the situation into a positive one, which has seen them take an almost deceased brand to the heights of extreme popularity. Models that have been released under the BMW MINI brand name include the Mini One, Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S (both of which are available as a convertible). There is also the newly added Mini Cooper Clubman, which really does push the boundaries of the car actually being a “Mini” due to its extended length and five doors. However, the Clubman still retains the new style MINI look and feel; even if its design is somewhat a little unconventional. In summary then – BMW have come to the rescue and resurrected the name of Mini, whilst at the same time, have reaped the rewards due to the loyalty and passion that customers have always had for the Mini automobile.

Land Rover Range Rover – A Touch of Class

The Range Rover from Land Rover has long been established as a sort of flagship vehicle for the brand. For so long it has been the Range Rover that has so easily followed after the phrase “Land Rover”. And therefore it is because of this that many people do not understand that the Range Rover is actually a model of Land Rover – and is not the actual make / brand! So why is this the case? Why do so many people mistake the Range Rover being the actual name of the company? Well as noted above lies the answer; the used Land Rover Range Rover has been the flagship unit for the company of Land Rover and so, for as long as people can remember, it has been the model, which has generated the most discussion. The thing is; it is much more than just a vehicle; it is a legend and one that will definitely go down in the history of both the Land Rover brand and as a vehicle in the automotive industry. Available in both the standard Vogue trim and the Vogue SE, the Range Rover comes with a 3.6 litre TDV8 engine that offers a truly outstanding performance. The exterior may well get people talking and quite rightly so, but the interior is a wonder to behold. With leather and quality wood materials on show throughout, drivers are given the chance to drive in luxury. Also incorporated into the inside of the vehicle is the Hardman / Kardon sound system, which many regard as being the very best in the business. And with additions such as Bluetooth connectivity and many other advanced technologies, the Land Rover Range Rover really is the leader of the pack and one of the best all round vehicles in the industry.

Jeep Wrangler – What Boundaries?

Go anywhere and do anything is the official marketing slogan for the new style Wrangler from Jeep. Some describe this particular vehicle as being a legend of the 4×4 sector and others say that it is one of the very best off road vehicles to ever hit the market. What is undoubtedly true is that Jeep continue to deliver a range of off road vehicles that are perfectly engineered to provide an outstanding driving performance. But what this offering from Jeep offers is not just a machine to tackle the rough terrains of the off road – but also something that is rather stylish and unique for the brand. In fact, you could go as far to say that the new Jeep Wrangler is a vehicle, which would not look out of place in the city as it is quite the fashion icon! Now that is not something, which you could say about used Jeep vehicles from the past! But the design of the unit does not take away from the fact that this is yet another fantastic innovation from Jeep and the performance that is offered certainly does not disappoint. “Bred for fun and performance” is what Jeep themselves say about the vehicle and it would be hard to disagree with this because the Wrangler really is something quite special. With its 2.8 litre diesel engine, automatic transmission as well as ABS, EPS and traction control, it is easy to see just why so many people are turning their attention to this new offering from Jeep. As we know, the brand of new and used Jeep cars has long been established as one of excellent off road, 4×4 units. This is unquestionable and so it comes as a pleasant surprise to everyone when they release a vehicle that is so visually inspiring and different from the rest of the pack. In fact, I cannot recall ever seeing a 4×4 unit that looked this good.
