The mag"s picture is of the all-new M탩gane-based SUV, tipped to be called the Kilimandjaro, the French spelling of the legendary African peak. It"s under development in France and Japan - where alliance partner Nissan is based - and will be developed on the forthcoming C-SUV platform. Boasting four-wheel drive, it will be a spiritual successor to the Scenic RX4, which failed to hit the mark in the UK.
Could the Vauxhall Zafira...
Could the Vauxhall Zafira VXR finally have a rival? Subaru used the Tokyo Motor Show to unveil a tuned version of its new seven-seat Exiga MPV.
Tuning arm STI has uprated the people carrier, boosting the power from its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine to 223bhp ò€“ so the newcomer promises strong performance.
Technicians have also beefed up the suspension and brakes, and modified the steering.
Thereò€™s added visual muscle on the Forester-based MPV, too, in the shape of side skirts, a front spoiler and bigger alloy wheels.
Inside, the limited-edition model is decked out with carbon fibre-effect trim and aluminium pedals, plus STI badges and sportier instrument dials.
The hot Exiga will have to wait to meet the Zafira VXR, though ò€“ Subaru has yet to decide whether to bring the car to the European market.
