Practicality on a plate
F YOU have had your eye on that new 66 number plate and just cannot wait any longer, here are some suggestions from the Glyn Hopkin dealership.
Keep the summer vibe going with the all-new Fiat 124 Spider. It has a powerful 1.4-litre MultiAir turbo petrol engine, as well as easy-to-use technology including a 7in touchscreen, MP3 playback, Bluetooth connectivity, DAB digital radio and a wi-fi connection. You can also specify satellite navigation and a rear-view parking camera, as well as up to two USB sockets to charge or connect other devices. There are eight colour options.
Many car buyers will be looking for a vehicle that makes the school run or the commute a daily pleasure. A practical option is a crossover SUV, such as the Nissan Qashqai, which is spacious and fuel-efficient (up to 74.3mpg), while the Honda CR-V is available with a range of fuel-efficient engines and technology such as traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, blind spot information, forward collision warning and intelligent-adaptive cruise control.
Pure electric vehicles can whisk you through London’s congestion charge zone without having to pay £11.50 for every journey. The latest Nissan Leaf electric car can travel up to 155 miles on a single charge, while also benefiting from the maximum government electric vehicle discount of £4,500.
Executive refinement can be found in the elegant all-new Infiniti Q60 premium sports coupé, with 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo petrol engine.
Glyn Hopkin has opened a new Nissan North London showroom, with an interim base at 49-51 Stamford Hill.
