The new 4x4 will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and hits British showrooms shortly afterwards - where it"s tipped to cost around í‚á£3,000 more than its predecessor. It will go head-to-head with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.

From this week the 3,000 cars on Westminster"s database which have at least three unpaid parking tickets against them and also have at least one ticket at the warrant stage, will be prioritised for clamping if they are spotted committing a further parking offence.
The cars will then be moved to the council"s Park Lane pound where they will be checked over by parking officers for possible further infringements such as the use of forged disabled badges or out of date road tax.
Westminster has launched the drive on the same day as it publishes details of the ten worst offenders in the city and the numbers of tickets they have outstanding.
The council"s cabinet member responsible for parking said the move signalled a zero tolerance approach to serial parking offenders. He said: "Some people seem to feel that the rules which apply to the rest ofs do not apply to them. Often the vehicles they are driving are not properly licensed as well, or they are displaying fake or stolen disabled blue badges.
A white Nissan van is the worst offender with 250 outstanding tickets.
