Jaguar launches cheapest XF ever

Jaguar says its new diesel XF offers “greater value than ever before,” which is another way of saying it’s the cheapest way ever into the executuve saloon.

The XF 2.2 Diesel 163 is a down-tuned version of the recently unveiled XF Diesel, using the same 2.2-litre engine but with power lowered from 190bhp to 163bhp.

The 27bhp loss means £1,000 chopped off the list price, so the XF range now starts under £30,000 for the first time. It’s £29,950 for an XF 2.2 Diesel SE.

Fuel economy, however, stays the same with the lower power output, pegged at 52.3mpg with emissions of 149g/km. VED payments, it follows, stay the same too: both XF Diesels are in Band F, which costs £130 per year.

Sadly the 0-62mph time goes down, from 8.5 seconds in the more powerful diesel to 9.8 in this new version. Top speed is 130mph.

The new XF Diesel is on sale now, with first deliveries expected in March.

Grange Aston Martin was invited to attend the recent annual leisure marine event at London Excel in January. This year saw a new ‘Supercar Showcase’ concept to compliment the existing boating extravaganza. The introduction of luxury brand cars along with a number of other events including a Luxury Lifestyle show was introduced to broaden the shows’ appeal and attract a more diverse range of visitor.

Gavin Hawkes Brand Manager at the Grange Brentwood dealership said “Over 130,000 visitors attended the show making it a fantastic platform for Grange Aston Martin, some serious enquiries were taken and we have accumulated a number of leads, giving us something to work on in the future”.

Aston Martin DB6 Volante at Grange Aston Martin Brentwood

Production Dates: October 1965 – July 1969

The DB6 was the first Aston Martin to carry the name Volante – which means ‘flying’ in Italian. It was in fact the last thirty-seven DB5 chassis that were used to build the short-chassis Volantes and were completed between October 1965 and October 1966.

Although clearly derived from the DB4 through the DB5, the new model was announced at the London Motor Show in October 1965. The most noticeable styling change on the DB6 was the spoiler – then called a Kamm tail – integrated into the tail of the car, which improved high speed stability. The split front and rear bumpers; a redesigned oil cooler opening in the front valance, a higher roof (136 cm) and longer wheelbase (258.5 cm), 9.5 cm more than the DB5, giving an overall length of 462 cm

Price New: £ 4,998 (Saloon)

 Price Estimate Today: Circa £300,000

The All New Ford Mondeo

Ford has today unveiled the all-new Mondeo, to coincide with the launch of the American version at the Detroit Motor Show.

America’s car is called the Fusion – no relation to our Fusion. Despite the differing name, it’s actually another Ford ‘global’ car, meaning it’s exactly the same as Europe’s Mondeo.

So, despite the picture you see here being the official European car, due in early 2013, we don’t know a great deal about it; all the drivetrain and specification we have today relates to the Fusion. Market requirements mean that engines and trim vary from country to country.

But because we know that the Fusion will be launched with a hybrid, and that it’s built on a chassis capable of taking a 4×4 drivetrain, Europe is likely to get those. The Fusion hybrid can travel at speeds up to 62mph on electric power alone – twice that of the Toyota Prius.

Ford promises the best cabin quality ever, meaning the fourth generation Mondeo will come even closer to the BMW 3 Series to which we always compare it. It is longer and taller, for greater rear head- and legroom, although it is a little narrower, so it should be easier to park.

Technology will feature heavily, which is to say that Ford will, as with the Focus, push the car’s raft of interesting safety and convenience technology from launch. Kit includes a lane keeping system, self-parking, adaptive cruise control, and a cutting edge touch screen infotainment system. Ford’s MyKey will feature too, limiting the speed the car can be driven at, among other things.

Class-leading CO2 emissions are promised, and although the engine lineup is a long way from being confirmed, we can guess:1.6- and 2.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engines and diesels of the same capacity, closely related to today’s range, although with much improved economy and performance.

The European Mondeo is due to be properly launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March, at which point we’ll get a few headline figures, no doubt.

Exclusive Aston Martin One-77 Preview Weekend at Grange Welwyn

An Exclusive Showing of the Fantastic Aston Martin ONE-77 Supercar.
Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd October

We have been lucky enough to secure this rarely seen Aston Martin ‘Supercar’ for our event and we invite you to share our passion for these two days only.

To support this event we have put together an ‘Exclusive Showcase’ of New and Used vehicles with some very special prices. Over the weekend there will be a number of vehicles that will attract a significant saving over RRP* these vehicles will not be advertised until after the event, so be the first to see the specially selected stock.

Aston Martin designed ONE-77 as an object of beauty, created for the discerning few, encompassing tradition, craftsmanship and excellence with raw power and earth shattering performance.

With all 77 cars sold before the last one rolled off the production line, and a cool price tag of £1.2million one might beg the question of the 77 owners ‘Is it just sheer indulgence in its’ purest form, or a very wise investment!’

Nonetheless it is a sad but true fact that most people will never see one of these magnificent cars in their lifetime.

To register your interest please call us on 0844 371 4847 .
