The first compact MPV as we know it, is none other than the first-generation Renault Megane Scenic which was launched in late 1996 and underpinned by the Megane sedan. Developed as a car meant to be practical and enjoyed by the entire family, the Scenic has been in production for 22 years now. And today, we’ve got with us the newest fourth-generation Scenic.

Renault’s latest compact MPV proves that frugal can still be fun


The centrepiece of the Blancpain GT Series, to be held on July 26th to 29th, marks the return of the NSX name to the Spa 24 Hours, a quarter of a century after Armin Hahne, Bertrand Gachot and Kazuo Shimizu started the 1993 race from pole position in a Honda Belgium-entered car which was also supported by Castrol. The NSX has achieved significant success in motor racing since its launch in 1990, including GT victory at the 1995 Le Mans 24 Hours and six titles in Japan’s ultra-competitive Super GT series.

With most crossovers, their rugged looks belie a softer, more road-biased drivetrain which is perfectly suitable for most drivers that prefer car-like handling characteristics with an SUV-like appearance. “But what if I’ve only got $100k to spare and want to do some light off-roading?”, you might ask — well here’s where Subaru has got you covered.

This latest addition to the Exige range packs the advanced chassis, suspension and powertrain set-up from its more powerful stablemate, the track focused Exige Cup 430, with a recalibrated engine producing 410 hp at 7,000 rpm and 420 Nm on tap from 3,000 rpm to 7,000 rpm. The high-performance 3.5-litre, supercharged and charge cooled V6 engine, combined with a dry weight of just 1,054 kg, delivers a class-leading power to weight ratio of 389 hp per tonne; this also makes the Exige Sport 410 the lightest V6 Exige ever.

Conceptualised as the Kia GT Concept back in 2011 at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the low and wide grand tourer with suicide doors got tongues wagging with its radical styling and rather un-Kia-like rear-wheel drive layout. 6 years on, the production car we have here today looks darn close to the concept with aggressive vents, sweeping roofline and wraparound taillights.

Aiming to break the existing Production SUV record of 12:35.61, the Bentayga will need to average a minimum 97 km/h up the exceptionally tight and twisty 156-corner course. Pikes Peak represents the next challenge for the Bentayga, following Betley’s tradition of testing its cars in extreme environments that has seen the Continental GT set records of 330 km/h on ice, and over 290 km/h on sand; not forgetting an unmodified Continental GT Speed that tackled a stage of the World Rally Championship.

You take a look at the LC 500 here — you’re just not sure. The front end made it look like a serpent and the grill seems a tad over the top. Its headlamps, along with the individual daytime running light and signal repeaters, all LED, seems too abstract. Flanking the car are several creases, paired to a broad shoulder that, potentially, puts Stallone to shame. The rear? Full of details that will not look out of place in a Transformer series, thanks largely to the slit-eyed tail lamps.
