At least Fiat Multipla...
At least Fiat Multipla owners have a sense of humour... the Ugly Bug Ball is the first ever UK event just for drivers of the Italian MPV, and is being staged at Billing Aquadrome, Northants, on 22-23 May. It"s being organised by enthusiasts. Visit the www.multiplaowners.co.uk website to book your place.
The value-for-money...
The value-for-money brand is set to unveil a trio of fresh models at the event. Top of the bill is the world debut of the new Sedona MPV, which goes on sale in July. Despite being taller and wider than the current model, the people carrier is actually shorter than the car it replaces. However, its spacious cabin boasts seven individual seats that can each be folded or removed.
The Sportage-style rear end features a powered tailgate, while the twin sliding doors can also be operated electrically. Under the bonnet, 2.9-litre diesel and 2.7-litre V6 petrol engines, both offering 183bhp, will be available.
Kia"s revised Sorento will join the MPV at Geneva. Available with a more powerful 168bhp 2.5-litre diesel, it goes on sale later this summer. The Korean firm is also expected to take the wraps off a five-door Ford Focus-sized concept at the show.
