The Alhambra has a new engine line-up too, with TSI and TDI power units equipped with direct injection and turbo-charging. The TSI unit delivers 150PS while the two TDI engines offer 140PS and 170PS. Other efficiency measures fitted as standard include a Start-Stop system and brake energy recovery technology.  The 140PS diesel offers 51mpg and a CO2 emissions figure of 143g/km and is bound to be a popular model.

Other standard equipment includes seven airbags, including a driver’s side knee airbag, electric child locks on the rear doors, ABS and ESP including electronic braking assistant, trailer stabilisation and tyre pressure monitoring display. More technical and equipment details of the range will be available closer to the launch date later this year.

Flextreme GT/E

Vauxhall has released the official pictures of their extended-range vehicle (E-REV technology), the Flextreme GT/E. This car is 4.7 metres long yet is still capable of a top speed of 125mph and a 0-62mph time in less than nine seconds.

The sculpted looks and aerodynamic style of this electric vehicle give the car a coupe appeal and with 21-inch alloy wheels is designed to reduce wind resistance all round. The Flextreme GT/E has a battery powered driving range of 40 miles with zero tailpipe emissions and a total range of 300 miles, offering you a staggering average 175 miles to the gallon. Unlike a normal hybrid car the Flextreme GT/E uses a small petrol engine/generator to provide electricty whenever the battery is depleted and when in this mode CO2 emissions rise to circa 40g/km.
