Well-padded: The new Lexus RX SUV blends petrol and electric for greater fuel efficiency

So to help celebrate its three decades on the road I’ve been for a spin in the new 5th generation Lexus RX SUV. 

Launched in 1998, it has sold 3 million worldwide since then. It’s been a while since I’ve driven a Lexus so I was taken aback by the huge size of the RX.

But it’s taking on big-boned rivals such as the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90, so size does matter.

The five-seater RX F-Sport Ray drove on 20-inch multi-spoke wheels accelerated from rest to 62mph in 7.7 seconds with a top speed of 124 mph — the seven seater is a little slower

There are three main trim levels from launch: RX with premium pack, F Sport and top range Takumi. It’s initially available as a flexible five-seater or as a slightly longer seven seater.

From early next year, customers will also be able to specify six stand-alone ‘captain’s chairs’ —two in each row. Prices range from £52,705 up to £62,605.

The RX certainly looks sharp. Loads of room inside, a commanding driving position and a premium dashboard.

It will do up to 35.7mpg under the new ‘real-world’ tests with low CO2 emissions of 172g/km.

However, if you press the EV button to drive exclusively in electric-only mode, don’t expect more than a couple of miles.

 Volvo launches its first electric car

‘Do you want a car with a plug?’ Volvo customers will be asked this from now on as the Swedish giant launches its first electric car, with a pledge to make zero-emissions battery-powered vehicles its priority over petrol for all future sales.

The new XC40 Recharge unveiled in Los Angeles is based on the award-winning XC40 small SUV, and marks the first in a family of fully electric Volvos.

Volvo’s radical electric push: From next year, dealers by default will assume customers want electric models when available. Buyers will need to specify if they want a petrol or hybrid

On sale in the UK next year, expect a price of about £50,000 — with a £3,500 taxpayer-funded subsidy for zero-emissions cars.

Volvo wants all-electric cars to account for half its global sales by 2025, with the rest as petrol-electric hybrids.

I was one of the first to spend a day behind the wheel of the flagship Bentley Flying Spur after the Monaco launch. 

First deliveries to customers are due in February. Base prices start at £168,300, but the car — built in Crewe — I drove had £37,125 of extras, totalling a hefty £205,425.

Powered by a 6-litre twin-turbocharged W12 TSI petrol engine developing 635hp, the Flying Spur accelerates its 2.5 tonne mass from rest to 60mph in just 3.8 seconds.

Powerful and luxurious, it’s perfect for the Cary Grant and Grace Kelly de jour.
