RPM TV Ep387: BMW 740e. Updated VW Up! Kia Sportage 2.4 GDI SX Auto. Audi Q3 long-term update

Large, luxurious limousines like the BMW 7-Series aren’t usually associated with fuel efficiency and eco-friendly credentials. But the BMW 740e hybrid is meant to offer just that, without compromising the Seven’s reputation for high-tech, luxurious – and effortless – motoring. But can it pull off that feat in practice?

It may be the smallest car in Volkswagen’s passenger car line-up, but the VW Up! continues to win friends with its combination of fun-factor dynamics, trendy execution and fuel efficiency. A midlife model update should make the package even more attractive.

The latest-generation Kia Sportage continues to propel the Korean brand upmarket with a package that combines sleek, contemporary looks with classy appointments and an overall aura of quality. We test drive the all-wheel drive Kia Sportage 2.4 GDI SX Auto model.

And finally, the Audi Q3 used to be the most compact SUV in the German auto maker’s line-up – until the trendy Q2 arrived. But while the Q2 is more compact, it’s also more expensive. We put our long-term Audi Q3 side by side with a similarly powered Audi Q2 to find out which is the better buy.

This week’s news coverage includes the just-launched, updated Toyota 86 sports coupé, an American muscle car from Dodge with record-beating acceleration, and a look at the latest Mercedes-Benz compact sedan concept, unveiled at the recent Shanghai Auto Show.

This week’s show premiere remains in its usual slot, at 20h30 on SuperSport 8 on Wednesday 26 April. As last-minute changes to the broadcast schedule are frequent, please check the latest transmission schedule under ‘Motorsport’ on the SuperSport website’s ‘TV’ section, or the DStv Electronic Programme Guide.
