Welcome to another issue of LMC’s
Driven magazine. Let us start by
saying THANK YOU for making last
month’s issue the most read yet.
If you’re a motorist (and why wouldn’t
you be) then you’re probably
concerned about the rise in petrol
prices throughout the country.
Unfortunately, nobody knows when
this will end, and as a result of this,
more people are searching for electric
cars to buy. If you’re one of those
searching and want to sell your
current petrol car, reach out to us at
LMC - we have a dedicated team of
experts who will be happy to discuss
buying your car and also help you find
your dream electric one.
In this issue of Driven, we take a look
at some of the best cars with British
influence, take a look at some of the
best electric cars you can buy in 2022,
and preview the all-new Nissan Z.

INFLUENCE

GOOD OLD
BLIGHTY
Just a quick search online and you’ll
no doubt see that Britain is full of
automotive heritage. Sure, we might
not have the same pulling power as
we once did, but we are still a force
for car design, manufacturing, and
research. And, as a result of this, we
have produced some of the very best
cars the world has seen.
The following cars all have strong
links to good old Blighty, and are all
worth your hard-earned cash if you’re
looking for something with that British
automotive heritage.
LAND ROVER DISCOVERY
We start the list with the Land Rover Discovery. Hugely popular, versatile, and
practical, this large SUV is comfortable whatever road type you find yourself on.
Whether you’re cruising down the motorway or driving along a bumpy dirt track,
the Discovery takes it all with ease.
Inside, you’ll find a wide range of standard equipment and an impressive 1,131-litre
boot - you can even get the car in a huge seven-seater too, if your family or needs
are bigger than the average.
If you’re wondering where the “British” fits in here, you’ll be delighted to know that
the Discovery is designed in the Midlands.
Call us on: 01375 276 827
NISSAN QASHQAI
Often credited for starting the whole crossover boom, the Nissan Qashqai offers
it all - mixing the sleek look of a hatchback and the high driving position of a
larger SUV, the Nissan Qashqai was one of the first of its kind to really grab public
attention.
Inside, you’ll find all that’s expected in terms of equipment and a very reasonable
430-litre boot. The front and rear seats are also comfortable for long journeys,
helping you to avoid all those “are we there yet” screams from the kids.
We know what you’re thinking - isn’t Nissan a Japanese brand? Well, yes, but the
Qashqai is actually made in Sunderland... So that ticks that box.
BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT
We all know how luxurious a Bentley can be, but this Bentley Continental GT is
truly on another level. With plenty of standard equipment and luxurious material
throughout, you’ll no doubt fall in love with this one. Not only amazing to look at
and drive, but it is also one of the quickest coupes on the market too.
Built with a 4.0-litre V8 or a monstrous 6.0-litre W12 engine, the Bentley Continental
GT is a seriously quick car despite it being on the heavy side. You’ll also be delighted
to know that the Bentley Continental GT is built in Bentley’s Pyms Lane factory in
Crewe, Cheshire.

MINI HATCHBACK
Thanks to movies like The Italian Job, the Mini has always been very British in the
eyes of many. The new version of the mini took the roads by storm when it was
first released in the UK on July 2001. Since then it has become one of the most
popular cars on our roads thanks to its charming looks, vast array of models
available (Clubman, Countryman, Paceman), and comfortable drive. The inside
feels like you’ve stepped back in time, with its well-built retro-quirky feel. There
really isn’t another car on the market quite like it.
The Mini Hatchback obviously has strong connections to good old Blighty - built
at Plant Oxford in Cowley, in Oxfordshire.
VAUXHALL ASTRA
If you’ve not been living under a rock for x number of years, then you would’ve no
doubt seen the brilliant Vauxhall Astra on our roads. A class-leading hatchback
with a highly impressive driving experience, it’s easy to see why a lot of motorists
pick this one. Not only is the Astra fun to drive and has a great-looking exterior, but
it’s also comfortable and well-built too.
For your money, you’ll also be getting a large 370-litre boot too, which is big enough
for a family of four on a trip away. If you’re wondering, the Vauxhall Astra is built
at Ellesmere Port in Cheshire.
Call us on: 01375 276 827
ASTON MARTIN DB11
One of the most stunning cars your money can buy is the Aston Martin DB11.
Probably best known for its James Bond links, the DB series has delivered class
by the bucket load since being on our roads. Away from the jaw-dropping looks of
the car, the striking striking interior is made for you to fall in love with the moment
you see it.
As far as speed is concerned, the DB11 leaves nothing to the imagination - coming
with a 5.2-litre turbocharged V12 engine, the DB11 is quick... incredibly quick. Being
on this list, of course it has British connections - the DB11 is built at Aston Martin’s
plant in Gaydon, in Warwickshire.

INTRODUCING
THE POWER
OF Z
If you’re a car buff then you would’ve
heard of the all-new 2023 Nissan
Z - staying true to its performance
roots, with a powerful 6-cylinder
under the hood, this beast has a rearwheel-drive
design that places the
engine farther back in the chassis for
enhanced balance and suspension.
With its long hood and short rear
deck, the Nissan Z is an authentic
sports car in the purest sense of the
word.
Call us on: 01375 276 827
NISSAN Z PREVIEW
400 TWIN-TURBOCHARGED
HORSEPOWER
The beating heart of the Z is a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbocharged 24-valve engine.
An aluminum-alloy block keeps things light, while a water-cooled intercooler will
help keep things cool. Not only that, an optical speed sensor will bring power with
turbine speeds up to a dizzying 220,000 rpm - which is fast if you haven’t already
guessed.
MECHANICAL LIMITED-SLIP
DIFFERENTIAL
Simply put, the mechanical limited-slip differential helps distribute power to the
driven wheel with the best grip, which helps you power out of those corners.
Call us on: 01375 276 827
LAUNCH CONTROL
This is a first on any Z - available launch control helps eliminate wheel spin and
hop, by holding the engine at a pre-set rpm and modulates power as you pull
away to give you the fastest, most consistent acceleration every time.
SUSPENSION AND STEERING
The new Z model features new mono tube shocks, new front geometry, and rear
suspension tuning, making it one of the smoothest drives on our roads. As an
added bonus here, for the first time the Z’s power steering allows near-infinite
tuning for inspired control and precision.
BODY RIGIDITY AND BRAKES
Rule of thumb - the stiffer the chassis, the better the suspension can work. To
help get the maximum out of the Z’s suspension, the torsional rigidity has been
increased by over 10%. Available Sport Brakes feature 14” front rotors with 4-piston
calipers to help give braking an excellent feel and amazing stopping power.
WHAT ABOUT THE INTERIOR?
We can confirm that the Z’s interior is just as stunning as its exterior. Holding you
tightly, the seats feel comfortable yet still sporty. The cockpit leaves nothing to the
imagination - feeling like a cyberpunk plane cockpit, the information that it gives is
thorough, while the available advanced infotainment 9-inch touch-screen display
delivers everything you could possibly want from a Z - including Apple CarPlay,
Android Auto, and available NissanConnect
Call us on: 01375 276 827
NEW PERFORMANCE SEATS
The Z features an amazing new seat design that offers lateral support, anti-slip
material, and a slide-reducing center pad in the lower seat cushion. Meanwhile,
knee bolsters work with the performance seats to help keep the driver in place,
making your drives that extra bit more comfortable.
REDESIGNED COCKPIT
The all-new Z cockpit is designed to keep the driver in the loop with a new digital
gauge cluster and an - already mentioned - available 9-inch touch-screen display.
Among other things, you’ll be treated to Door to Door Navigation, Wi-Fi Hotspot,
and Remote Access.
GT-R INSPIRED STEERING WHEEL
The leather-wrapped steering wheel rim is thicker than the current GT-R, while the
unique groove at the top of the wheel was inspired by the legendary GT-R R32.
WANT EVEN MORE INFORMATION
We have only highlighted just a few of the Nissan Z’s great features here, visit
www.nissan.co.uk for a full list of them.

TIME TO GO
ELECTRIC
With more and more electric cars
appearing on our roads, it’s becoming
more difficult to decide which one is
right for you. Sure, they all have that
all-important futureproof electric
engine, but that’s not all that matters
- you must take other things into
consideration too, such as space,
reliability, and, of course, style. Our
following suggestions will help you in
your search for your dream electric
car.

BEST ELECTRIC
CARS 2022
HYUNDAI IONIQ 5
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 holds its own effortlessly against premium rivals such as the
Audi Q4 e-tron. Not only is the Hyundai Ioniq 5 a great example of showcasing
next-gen electric car tech, with capable performance and charging ability, but it’s
also one of Hyundai’s most visually appealing cars to date.
There are two battery options available, the 58kWh and the 73kWh battery, with
three power outputs. The former is paired with a single 168bhp motor delivering a
range of 238 miles, and the latter comes with a 214bhp battery with a range of 280
miles. The top-spec variant uses the same 73kWh battery, but it adds a second
motor at the front - meaning you get a combined total of 301bhp.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 starts at around £38,000, so not the cheapest of cars, but
comparing it to its rivals, it’s a fair price to pay for what you get under the hood.

KIA EV6
By 2040, Kia aims to be an all-electric car company - these are big words from a
big manufacturer, but if the Kia EV6 is anything to go by, then they are certainly
on the right path.
There are two battery options available for the Kia EV6, the 226bhp rear-wheeldrive
configuration and the 321bhp dual-motor car with all-wheel drive. Coming
later down the line is a performance GT model with 577bhp, so if you want that extra
bit of power, perhaps you should wait it out that little bit longer. All options have a
77.4kW battery - meaning, if you’re considering the rear-wheel-drive configuration,
you should be able to get an impressive 328 miles from it.
With prices starting at around £41,000, we recommend taking some time to research
what trim is right for you - depending on your chosen trim, you could be treated
to 19-inch alloys, LED headlights, leather upholstery, heated front seats, twin 12.3-
inch curved displays, integrated sat-nav, a reversing camera, Apple CarPlay, and
Android Auto connectivity, among a truckload of other features.
FORD MUSTANG MACH-E
Ford’s first-ever all-electric SUV is also one of the best-looking too. Beautifully
sculpted design throughout, packed with state-of-the-art technologies, and a
maximum electric driving range of up to 280-379 miles, the Mustang Mach-E
delivers that iconic quality you’d expect from a Mustang.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E doesn’t even think about compromising on speed, with
the fastest 346bhp all-wheel-drive version going from 0-62mph in just 5.8 seconds
and offering 273 miles of range. The ‘standard’ battery range comes with a 68kWh
battery and offers an impressive 243 miles of range. Moving up the range to the
88kWh battery, you’ll get a claimed 379 miles for the rear-wheel drive model and
335 miles for the all-wheel drive First Edition SUV model. The Ford Mustang Mach-E
can be yours for just over £47,000.

Tesla Model 3
When people think of an electric car, the chances are they’ll think of a Tesla. Tesla
is the Apple of the electric car world - with its sleek modern broad mainstream
appeal, Tesla’s hold on the market has been strong since its first release way back
in 2008.
The Tesla Model 3 is a compact executive saloon that easily rivals the likes of the
Mercedes C-Class and the BMW 3 Series. Combining a minimalist style, spaceage
technology, amazing performance, and cutting-edge charging tech that can
deliver 360 miles on a single charge (depending on chosen model), then the Model
3 is hands down worth its popularity
The entry-level Model 3 claims up to 267 miles on a single charge - this also gives
you 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 140mph. If you have more cash to
throw at your next car, then perhaps consider the four-wheel-drive Long Range
version that has two electric motors and a larger battery that gives you 360 miles
and 0-60mph in just 4.2 seconds. But wait, there’s more, the Model 3 Performance
model gives you a range of 352 miles and a speedy 0-60mph in just 3.1 seconds.
The Tesla Model 3 starts at just under £46,000.
BMW IX
It’s no secret that BMW has delivered some of the finest electric cars over the
years - from the i8 sports car to the i3 supermini - BMW has never let its customers
down. The BMW iX is BMW’s first battery-powered SUV to be built on a dedicated
EV platform.
The iX currently has three versions available. The first is the 332bhp xDrive40
with a 71kW battery that gives you a range of 257 miles, while the second 516bhp
xDrive50 version and the upcoming 611bhp M60 version give you a battery size of
up to 105kW, delivering a maximum range of 380 and 357 miles respectively.
All versions of the BMW iX feature a four-wheel drive and have a dual-motor setup.
And, despite it being on the weighty side (2,400kg), the car handles extremally
well, even around those tight corners.
Taking a step inside, you’re greeted by high-quality materials that are second
to none. You’re also treated to an amazing dual-screen infotainment setup too,
featuring the latest version of BMW’s iDrive. The BMW iX is not one for the budget
shoppers out there, coming in with a hefty price tag of around £77,000.
