This is the highest award achievable for Safety standards within Europe demonstrating Land Rover’s continuous commitment to engineering excellence. “This is the second vehicle launched in as many years with Range Rover Evoque achieving the same result in 2011. Euro NCAP have significantly increased the Pedestrian Protection target in 2012 and Land Rover has risen to the challenge with the all-new Range Rover achieving one of the highest ever scores for Pedestrian within its vehicle category.

achievement and testament to the dedication of our engineering team,” said John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director. The all-new Range Rover further demonstrates Land Rover’s commitment to sustainability. It is 420Kg lighter than its predecessor and has outstanding results for occupant protection; achieving maximum points in numerous areas within the Euro NCAP tests. Land Rover is currently looking into new technologies for future models to improve Safety Protection even further - particularly Pedestrian Protection.

one of the most successful car manufacturers in China, has this year become the first Chinese automobile manufacturer to commence volume vehicle sales in the UK, with the launch of the 2012 Steed pick-up.

Prices start at just £13,998 (CVOTR) for the generously equipped Steed S model, representing unbeatable value for money in the UK pick-up market. The Steed’s chunky appearance signals its

durability as well as its capabilities as a versatile load-lugger, both on and offroad. All UK Steeds are fitted with a newly developed 2.0litre, 16-valve turbocharged diesel engine. Offering ample pulling power, the powerplant delivers class-leading fuel economy (34.0 mpg, combined cycle). When the terrain gets slippery, the driver can engage the Steed’s ‘on demand’ fourwheel-drive system simply by pressing a dashboard button. Inside the four-door Steed’s generously proportioned double-cab body there is ample head, leg and shoulder room for the driver and up to four passengers while storage areas are plentiful. The Steed might be able to work hard, but it is not a stripped-down, utilitarian vehicle. No similarly priced pick-up on sale in the UK will rival its impressive tally of standard equipment. The Nissan Navara With its class-leading load bed dimensions, top power and torque and lavish specification, Nissan’s Navara brings SUV levels of refinement and performance to the market while still offering ‘go anywhere, do anything’ qualities. Navara was designed in tandem with the Discoveryclass Pathfinder SUV - and is built alongside it at Nissan’s NMISA plant in Barcelona. As
