Marathon 40-hour broadcast
live from Middleton Grange
MIDDLETON Grange School
radio DJs are gearing up for
a 40-hour broadcast like no
other.
From 8pm tomorrow until
11am on Sunday students at the
school, including (above) David
Irvine, Jess Hansen and Melanie
Black, will be stepping up to the
mic for a marathon broadcast
as part of the World Vision 40
Hour Challenge.
The challenge is New
Zealand’s biggest youth
fundraising event.
This year the focus is
on bringing life-changing
clean water to children who
desperately need it, such as
those in Malawi where, every
day, 11 kids under five die from
diseases related to dirty water.
Anyone in the city can tune
into “The Fridge FM” broadcast
from Middleton Grange on
88.3FM. School spokesperson
Ailah Taring said during the
40-hour broadcast, there will
be interviews with artists who
are donating to the art auction
the school is organising, chats
with church representatives and
other special guests.
All funds raised from the
broadcast will go to World
Vision.
Its international partnerships
director TJ Grant said
Middleton Grange has a long
history of supporting World
Vision.
“We are so grateful to have
Middleton Grange School
students on board again this
year, their creativity and
drive to raise funds for World
Vision over the years has been
incredible,” said Grant.

Big drop
in graffiti
across
the city
THE AMOUNT of graffiti being
removed from structures across
the city has dropped significantly.
From March to May, city
council contractors removed
15,000m 2 of graffiti, compared to
the same period last year when
21,000m 2 had to be cleaned off.
City council graffiti team
leader Kerryn Findlater said the
reduction may
be due to several
factors, including
a collaborative
approach to
preventing graffiti,
the increasing
presence of street
art in the city and
a new volunteering
programme.
“We have introduced the idea of
micro-volunteering, which gives
those who are reporting a chance
to be rewarded each month.
“It was developed after we
noticed that more than 60 per
cent of all graffiti reports came in
via our existing network of 150
volunteers; we wanted to increase
that activity and involve more of
our citizens.”
Findlater said by joining the
friend of the graffiti programme,
people become “micro-volunteers”
and can get monthly insights and
previews of new street art and go
into a draw to win a supermarket
voucher.

Your Local MP for Banks Peninsula
Tracey
McLellan
At the heart of Budget 2023 is a cost
of living package designed to ease the
pressure on households. I’ve been out
and about making sure people in Banks
Peninsula hear about this support and I
wanted to share a bit more information
here too.
In a nutshell, the Budget provides
practical support across childcare,
healthcare, transport and power bills. For
instance, we’re helping with health costs
by removing prescription charges for
medicines. Removing the $5 co-payment
will mean that around three million
Kiwis will no longer have to worry about
the costs of collecting their medication.
This will make a real difference for many
households, particularly older adults and
those who have multiple prescriptions to
fill on a regular basis.
Another way we can support parents with
young children is to extend 20 hours ECE
to two-year-olds, adding to the existing
three to five-year-olds. This will be a
major saving for whānau and will reduce
barriers for working parents to take on
more hours if they can.
With Budget 2023, we’re also extending
our Healthy School Lunches programme
which delivers over a million free lunches
to students each week. For families with
two children, it’s estimated the scheme
saves, on average, $60 per week.
To help with transport costs, we’re
providing free fares on buses, trains and
ferries for children aged 5 to 12 and halfprice
discounts for all passengers aged
13 to 24 from July this year. Free fares for
kids under 13 could see savings of $30 a
week for whānau with two children.
Winter is definitely upon us, but we can
help to reduce power bills by hundreds
of dollars a year through the Warmer
Kiwi Homes programme. This retrofit
programme is estimated to have reduced
electricity use by 16% on average over
the winter months and sits alongside our
popular Winter Energy Payment.
Cost of living pressures are being felt
across our community as New Zealand
faces challenges such as global inflation
and rebuilding following the recent
extreme weather events. That’s why
Budget 2023 strikes a careful balance
between supporting people today and
building towards a better tomorrow.

Plan to combat
harbour hoons
• By Heidi Slade
AN ACTION plan to identify
and deter “anti-social” driving
on Banks Peninsula has been
created after a meeting over the
issue.
Community leaders, police,
city council staff and residents
met on Friday to create a list
of action points to tackle the
ongoing problem on the roads
around Lyttelton Harbour and
the surrounding
bays.
Said Banks
Peninsula city
councillor Tyrone
Fields: “It’s
really ruining
[residents] quality

of life.
“Somebody is
going to get hurt.”
The plan includes borrowing
cameras from Waka Kotahi New
Zealand Transport Agency to
identify drivers, city council staff
investigating speed limits in the
area and more police visibility
on the roads.
Sergeant Anna Partridge was
at the meeting and said it was
positive to see people working
together to solve the issue and
support residents.

meeting to have everyone
together,” she said.
“I don’t think we’ll be able to
solve the issue, but everyone
has a better understanding of the
role they can play.”
Cass Bay resident Scott Adams
said “good progress” was made
at the meeting.
He felt having the support of
community leaders may help
combat anti-social driving.

“Sometimes it’s a truck, more

“It’s not just a bunch of

Adams said he has
been invited to a meeting later
this month between the Te

SERVE: The Sumner Tennis and Squash Club wants to build
new courts on red zone land on the corner of Nayland St and
Heberden Ave.
Tennis club aims
for two new courts
• By Heidi Slade
VACANT RED zone land could
be used by the Sumner Tennis and
Squash Club for two new tennis
courts, which would be open to the
public.
The courts would go in on
the corner of Nayland St and
Heberden Ave.
The courts, which would include
landscaping and fencing, are
expected to cost about $250,000.
The club intends to cover
costs through existing funds,
fundraising and potential funding
applications.
“We’re lucky to have a bit of
money in the bank,” club treasurer
Nelson Glass said.
The additional courts would
help the club clear its waitlist and
create more space for its large
events like tournaments. It would
also provide free courts for the
community to use.
Last week the club asked the
city council if it could lease the
land long-term.
“It looks like we can get the
land,” Glass said.
The club will now consult with
its members and work towards a
definitive plan for the project.

Helping young
achievers take
on the world
THE SUMNER Ferrymead
Foundation is helping
four high school students
represent New Zealand
overseas.
For Sophie Cook, Iona
Lawson, Holly Sawyer and
Amelie Wink, competing
on the international stage
is an expensive exercise
and fundraising is
essential.
Amelie, a year 13
Christchurch Girls’ High
School student, has just
returned from El Salvador
where she was the youngest
member in the New
Zealand team competing
in the ISA world longboard
championships.
Amelie’s love of surfing
started when she learned
to ride a stand-up paddle
board with her dad as a
7-year-old. Amelie attended
her first national
surfing competition when
she was 13. But her trip to
El Salvador marked her
first international competition,
where she competed
against some of the top
female surfers from around
the world.
“It was a fantastic experience.
We had 20 minutes
to surf, and as there were
only two others out there
with me, I had plenty of
opportunities to catch
some great waves. Whilst I
was happy with the waves I
caught, I got a nasty gastro
bug and it impacted on my
performance,” said Amelie.
“I had done a lot of land
based training to build
muscle memory before I
went, and any spare moment
I had I’d be in the
water practising.”
Iona, a year 12 St Andrew’s
College student, will
head to the to the world
pipe band championships
in Glasgow from August
18-19. She started playing
in the school’s C Band in
year 9 and worked her way
up through the grades. In
2021, she won the grade
2 New Zealand championships
but the Covid
pandemic stopped her
competing internationally
until this year.
Said Iona: “We
needed to raise a lot of
money so I’ve been working
at the local supermarket,
busking and applying
for grants. I need to fit this
in between school work,
the Duke of Edinburgh
Award and sport, so
fortunately, I’m pretty
organised.”
Iona said Scotland is well
and truly in her blood. She
was born there and is considering
moving to Dunedin
to attend university.
Holly, a year 11 St Margaret’s
College student,
and her team mates will
attend the International
Future Problem Solving
Competition in the United
States after winning the
New Zealand competition
last November. About 80 to
100 teams from around the
world will be competing
at the five-day event where
they must solve a hypothetical
problem of the
future. The competition
teaches critical and creative
thinking, problem solving
and decision making.
Said Holly: “For the New
Zealand competition the
topic was mining and for
the international competition
it will be currency.
“Whilst we don’t know
what the actual hypothetical
problem concerning
currency will be, we can
do some research before
we go. We then use a six
step process to come up
with a solution within two
hours. The challenge is to
balance the creativity of
the solution with a degree
of practicality, it’s a fine
balance.”
Like all the grant applicants,
Holly must balance
raising funds to travel with
study and playing sport.
“It gets pretty busy when
you are studying, playing
football, lifeguarding,
applying for grants, babysitting
and doing a paper
run, but it’s worth it!”
Sophia, a year 11
Rudolph Steiner School
student, will represent New
Zealand at the Australian
youth climbing competition
in the lead climbing
section. Sophie has always
loved climbing. As a child,
it was rocks and trees, but
when she began climbing
in a gym two years ago she
“got the bug”.
Initially she began
bouldering in the gym
– when no ropes are
used and the focus is the
difficulty of the movements
– as part of an after-school
programme. She then
progressed to lead climbing
where ropes are used and
the focus is endurance.
Sophia finished second at
the New Zealand nationals
in the lead climbing
section, qualifying her to
join the NZ youth team.

A WEEK OF
SUCCESS &
GRADUATIONS
Steve and I recently had a week jammed
packed of proud parent moments. Two
sons graduation within days of each
other, one in Palmerston North and one
in Houston. Many air miles racked up in
five days. You can’t imagine when your
boys are at school that someday they
step off the podium holding a cherished
degree, a decorated piece of paper, that
has taken years of grind, passion and self
motivation to achieve. Makes you feel
super proud for sure, but also reminded
me that they are adult men, ready to set
out and conquer the world with passion,
integrity, hope and kindness.
Our two sons played tennis, nationally
and internationally all through school,
starting at age five. They both won many
age group National competitions and
both represented NZL in Junior Davis
Cup. Early on, Steve and I knew they
would start their university education
in the United States (despite living
across from Canterbury University),
gaining a tennis scholarship to a school
of their choice. Connor started at
the University of California Berkeley,
doing an undergraduate degree in
Sciences. Dylan went to the University of
Minnesota in Minneapolis and pursued
an undergraduate degree in finance and
supply chain management. Both sons
finished their degrees in different places.
Connor graduated first with a Batchelor
of Veterinarian Science from Massey
University. We couldn’t be prouder
or happier than a son has chosen a
career that has given Steve and I so
much purpose, enjoyment and exciting
Connor graduating in Veterinary Science.
Dylan graduating from Rice in Houston
challenges. Connor has chosen the
path of Internship, gaining a sought
after place at VSA Surgical Specialists
in Auckland, as his first job. This is a
perfect fit for Connor who has a thirst for
learning and knowledge and may want
to pursue the surgical specialist route.
Eventually oneway his home will be
McMaster & Heap though.
Dylan graduated with a Batchelor of
Arts, majoring in Economics, from
Rice University in Houston. Another
choked up moment when “ Dylan
Oliver McMaster Heap “ was called out
amongst the 800 students graduating.
Rice is a top 15 American College,
so gaining a degree from Rice and
playing on the tennis team is a huge
achievement, requiring perseverance,
full commitment and great work ethic.
Dylan is now moving to Elon University
in North Carolina to do a Masters in
Business Analytics and finish his final
year playing tennis. The world awaits
Dylan.
Not my usual patient case study article
but I wanted to share a little of my
family. I have been writing articles for 24
years now. When we bought McMaster
& Heap Vets in 1999, Connor was two
years old, Dylan and Isaac not born yet.
Our boys have grown up with parents
devoted to helping people and their
pets and the business is a part of who
they all are. They are all very proud of
the work Steve and I do - you never
know, they all may play a part in the
MMH family business oneway.

Model yacht club sail-ebrating
One of world’s oldest
model yacht clubs
celebrates its 125th
anniversary this
weekend. Nick Tolerton
reports
THE CHRISTCHURCH Model
Yacht Club, part of the Hagley
Park scene for 125 years, has
battled plenty of obstacles to stay
afloat.
Issues with water weed,
competition from Canada geese,
and especially the February 22,
2011, earthquake, which drained
Lake Victoria like bathwater
going down a plughole, are
among the difficulties the club
has overcome.
However, at 125 the club will
have much to celebrate at its
jubilee on Saturday. With nearly
100 sailors, the membership
is the highest it has ever been
since a group of enthusiasts
established the club during a
meeting at Warner’s Hotel on
June 17, 1898.
It is the second oldest model
yacht club in the world, after
a London club in Kensington
Gardens, founded in 1876.
It’s a small miracle, though,
that the Christchurch club
got on its feet again after the
earthquake. The big shake
ruptured an unknown tile
drain under the lake bed, the
CHAMPION: Graham Parratt, a former national trailer yacht
champion, has been the skipper to beat at Lake Victoria
for several years.

water disappeared, and the lake
became a wilderness of mud,
puddles, weed, and rubbish.
Mayor Phil Mauger gets the
credit for putting it on its feet
again – and can probably be sure
of votes from club members. The
contracting firm he had at the
time was engaged to re-establish
the lake, which had to be reexcavated,
lined with bentonite
clay half a metre thick, topped
with a coating of ground glass,
and to repair the wells which
supplied its water.
Before the quake, the club’s
big issue for many decades had
been weed, which sometimes
grew so thickly it made the lake
unusable.
The weed returned after the
quake, along with some algae
in mid-summer, but in about
2015 the lake stabilised and it no
longer even requires spraying for
weed.
As for the Canada geese
(and ducks and ducklings), the
yachties have to compromise and
share the lake. A flock of geese
taking off when winds are light
literally takes the wind out of
their sails.
The biggest change in the
club’s history came in the 1960s
with the introduction of radiocontrolled
yachts, allowing the
operator to steer the yacht and
adjust the mainsail and jib,
which are on the same winch.
Previously skippers used vane
steering, which meant frantic
sprints around the lake to reset
the sails and vane when the yacht
reached the opposite shore.
Many of the club’s members
have been among Canterbury’s
top yachties in a variety of
‘proper’ sailing classes.
The late Graham Mander, a
Canterbury sailing great and
winner of more than a dozen
New Zealand titles in classes
including the P class, R class, X
class, and trailer yachts, adapted
with ease to the challenge of the
radio-controlled boats and was

NEWSLINE
SUCCESS: Some of the J class skippers line up. The class was developed at the
Christchurch club and is now raced around the world.
Graham Luxon, the father
of National Party leader
Chris Luxon, well-known
photographer Euan Sarginson,
and Steve Mander, son of
Olympic sailing champion Peter
Mander, are also members.
While the club has many
ancient mariners, women have
also made an impact. Sue Bowie
was the first female member as
a 13-year-old in the 1970s and
finished third in a national junior
championship. Thysje Arthur has
had a long involvement, and the
question of who cooked dinner
that night was resolved on race
days when she and husband Tom
crossed tacks.
Anzan Zhang, who raced
big boats in China, spotted the
model yachts while walking in
Hagley Park, was offered the
chance to sail one, and is now a
keen member.
A wide variety of classes
have been sailed at the club, but
there is special affection for the
J class, which is now raced in
other centres and even at some
overseas clubs. Designed by Dave
Heanly based on the lines of the
famous America’s Cup yacht,
Ranger, it has a long sweeping
keel that enables it to glide
through the weed which fouled
yachts with deeper keels. Very
handily, it also fits fully rigged in
the back of a car.
So far, at least, 365 J class have
been built, fibreglass hulls from
the same mould, and one club
member, Graeme Raxworthy, has
built or restored more than 40 J
class.
At one time in the 1960s,
participant numbers at the club
dropped to only six or seven
boats, and the club looked set
to go the same way as penny
farthing cycle racing which used
to be held around Lake Victoria
when it was just a swamp. How
things have changed – now
the club, which runs races on
Wednesdays and Saturdays,
looks set to flourish for many
years yet – a unique sports
institution in the heart of the
city.
Team effort to
wipe out graffiti
•From page 1
Said Findlater: “We not only
want to encourage people to
help keep our city graffiti-free,
but we also want to thank them.
“Without people taking notice
and taking action we would
not be able to be as effective or
as efficient. It truly is a team
effort.”
The graffiti team has also
completed recent beautification
projects as part of its What’s
Cool About Your School
initiative.
Findlater said the project
offers the chance for schools to
“adopt” a cabinet and showcase
their schools with a mural on it
to increase pride and ownership
in their community.
They have also begun working
with Restorative Justice Services
on some community art and
mentoring projects.
“We have already had a couple
of inquiries from parents who
want their young people to have
other avenues to explore other
than tagging.
“We are always open to new
ideas so if you want to have
chat about creating a mural,
removing graffiti, project ideas
or to attend an event, please
contact the team.
“Together, we can make a
difference.”

Great baking delights without gluten
A need
to make
sure her
daughter,
diagnosed
with
coeliac
disease,
did not miss out on the
joys of eating led Cherie
Lyden to delve into the
world of gluten-free
cooking and baking.
When she began to investigate
what gluten-free baking was
available, Lyden was shocked to
find gluten-free products were
hard to find and lacking in taste.
Gluten-free recipes were also hitand-miss.
“So I experimented, tested and
trialled various options until I
had developed food that I was
happy with and proud to have
cooked.”
This led to the opening of the
Wholegreen Bakery in Sydney,
and spreading the word around
the gluten-free community.
In her book, Lyden includes a
chapter on her kitchen essentials
and the flour blends she uses to
bake and cook with. She makes
up her own mix of brown rice
flour, potato starch, cornflour
and xanthan gum, which she
finds to be more consistent for
baking than shop-bought blends.
“I like to use brown rice flour
here as it’s more wholesome and
results in moister baked products
than white rice flour.”
The book is divided into sweet,
savoury and bread chapters.
Lemon and coconut cake
Serves 8
Ingredients
⅔ cup (80g) coconut flour
1 cup (100g) almond meal
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
6 eggs, at room temperature
1⅓ cups (295g) caster
(superfine) sugar
1⅓ cups (330ml) sunflower oil
1 tsp vanilla paste
Zest and juice of 2 lemons,
plus juice of 1 extra lemon for
brushing
Toasted coconut flakes
Lemon glaze:
2 cups (250g) gluten-free icing
(confectioners’) sugar, sifted
¼ cup (60ml) lemon juice
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon,
plus extra strands of zest to
decorate
Directions
Preheat the oven to 170 de gC
(150 deg C fan-forced) with the
oven rack positioned in the middle
of the oven.
Grease a 20cm round springform
cake tin and line the base
and sides with baking paper.
Sift the coconut flour, almond
meal, baking powder and cinnamon
into a bowl and whisk
together thoroughly.
Using a stand mixer with the
whisk attachment, or in a large
bowl with a hand mixer, whisk
the eggs and sugar together on
high speed until pale and fluffy.
Slowly add the oil and vanilla
and continue to whisk for 30
seconds more.
Using the paddle attachment
on low speed, add the sifted dry
ingredients and fold in until
everything is mixed together
thoroughly, then add the zest
and juice of two lemons and mix
well.
Pour the batter into the prepared
tin and smooth the top
with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, rotating
roughly halfway through
for even cooking, until the cake
is dark golden, a skewer inserted
into the centre of the loaf comes
out clean, or the cake springs
back when you press down gently
on the top with two fingers.
Remove the cake from the
oven and brush the top with
lemon juice. Leave to cool completely
in the tin before releasing
the spring, removing the sides
and peeling away any baking
paper as necessary. Remove the
cake tin base by sliding the cake
on to a serving plate.
Make the lemon glaze by mixing
the icing sugar, lemon juice
and lemon zest together in a
bowl until smooth.
Pour the icing over the top of
the cake then use a flat-bladed
spatula to quickly smooth the
glaze out so it gently tips over the
sides to create a drip effect.
Decorate with toasted coconut
flakes and a little lemon zest. If
you want the icing to set (which
makes it easier to slice), place the
cake in the fridge for 10 minutes
before slicing.

HOME & HEATING
Ground moisture barrier
under low sub-floor
Now with the colder and wetter weather on
its way, home owners are focusing on ways
to make their homes comfortable, warm
and healthy for their families throughout
winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects
many of our older properties which suffer
from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many
people have relocated to homes that suffer
from rising damp which can be associated
with health problems. Independent tests have
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise
from the ground and enter a house every day,
leading to mildew, mould, condensation and
musty smells. Moulds can produce various
allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and
very young are especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a
locally owned and operated firm. The team
understands the problems caused by rising
damp and are there to help. They will come
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,
flowable foam concrete under your timber
floored home.
While insulation is important, it has been
recognised that it is dampness that is the real
villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes
Standards introduced by the government
effective from the 1st July 2019 now has
a requirement to install ground moisture
barriers, a key element in the armory to fight
moisture in the home.
Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a
report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under
Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed
the effects of placing Foam Concrete over
damp soil and had this to say: Condensation
on the underside of a timber floor can occur
where the floor is suspended over damp
ground and the inside air temperature falls
close to the crawl space air temperature.
Much energy is required to vaporize moisture
that penetrates the structure. By avoiding
underfloor condensation, foam concrete can
reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.
• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most
cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier
under the suspended wooden floor of your
home, even when there is no crawl space.
• BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961
• Members of the Insulation Association of
New Zealand.
• We offer a free measure and quote in the
Canterbury region with no obligations.
• Assessments can be made in all other
regions by arrangement.

ground moisture barrier needs.

RD Petroleum
this winter
RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight
for farm and rural residents around the
Canterbury region, however now days urban
residents also enjoy the same excellent
customer service for which RDP is known for
in rural communities, through their home
heating diesel.
RDP began its home heating diesel delivery
service to the lower South Island’s main urban
centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin
and Invercargill a number of years ago.
Customer demand has continued to increase
year upon year, and RDP has responded
with specialised improvements to its delivery
equipment.
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating
diesel in each urban centre are drawn from
the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This
means they have the latest communication
and GPS tracking technology on board, so
the operations team always know where they
are and how far away they are from their next
delivery stop.
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come
equipped with a specially-designed hose,
through which the diesel is pumped from
the truck into house tanks. The length of
the hose allows the trucks to access tanks
without having to enter the property, avoiding
damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to
go if you require diesel conveniently delivered
to your home and as a loyal RDP customer
you’re offered discounted pricing and can
become eligible for value-added benefits.

Mercedes EQE breathtakingly quick
• By Bob Nettleton
IN THE last three years
Mercedes Benz has amped up its
quest to become a luxury electric
vehicle game changer, with its
efforts being spearheaded by the
EQ range.
Among them is the futuristically
styled and breathtakingly
quick EQE AMG, one of the
hottest-ever Mercedes Benz sedans
priced at a cool $220,000.
Just months after the launch of
the large luxury EQS, the EQE is
the next model series to be based
on architecture Mercedes Benz
developed specifically for its
electric models.
Riding on a slightly shorter
wheelbase than the EQS, with
shorter overhangs and more
recessed flanks, the EQE remains
a substantial high-end luxury
sedan. Interior space exceeds
the comparable ICE (Internal
Combustion Engine) Mercedes-
Benz E-Class, including interior
length (+ 80mm) and front
shoulder room (+ 27mm). The
EQE comfortably accommodates
up to five people even on longer
journeys.
It brings sharp styling and attitude,
along with a level of standard
equipment and refinement to
what is regarded as an all-electric
alternative to the legendary
Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan.
A three-model range is offered
here and put its best foot
forward with the entry level
and attractively priced $132,100
EQE. After more power and
technology? That is offered in
abundance in the $145,000n 350
version featuring Mercedes Benz
4MATIC AWD system. Then
there’s the X-factor $200k plus
AMG 53 4MATIC. All EQE’s are
covered by a five-year unlimited
kilometre warranty and 10 years
or up to 250,000km, whatever
comes first.
The EQE 53 4MATIC+ dual
electric motors generate an epic
460 kW of power and a staggering
950 Nm of torque. Their
combined might hurtles the car
0 to 100 km/h in a mind bending
3.5 seconds – all with a handy
maximum real world all-electric
driving range of 500km. This is
around 90km less electric range
than the other two versions.
The fit and finish of the generously
proportioned passenger
compartment is outstanding,
along with a driving position
that’s close to perfection. Both
front seats are heated and electrically
adjustable, while a panoramic
sliding sunroof lighten
ups your world and senses at the
touch of a button.
On board is the latest generation
of the MBUX multimedia
system, including MBUX
Navigation. A large centrally
mounted LED screen includes a
fingerprint scanner to activate
driver profiles. It’s hard not to
be impressed by the quality
surround sound system, smartphone
integration for Apple and
Android devices.
A smart Driving Assistance
Package includes Active Distance
Assist, Active Brake Assist
with cross-traffic function, Active
Lane Change Assist, Active
Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane,
all making for one highly active
vehicle.
AIRMATIC air suspension
enhanced the test vehicles ride
and all round poise. Rear-axle
steering shortens the turning circle
during cornering and parking,
and delivers better steering
response. Comfort for a serious
high performance sedan is excellent,
and free of the sometimes
abrasive low-speed ride associated
with this type of model.
Handling is right out of the
top draw thanks to a superbly
designed, engineered and tuned
suspension providing prodigious
levels of grip. In fact I felt at
times the test vehicle was ‘super
glued’ to the road surface. With
the lithium-ion battery forming
part of the vehicles floor you
have the ideal low centre of gravity.
This further improves what’s
an already incredibly well balanced
and agile full size luxury
sedan.
