Škoda launches the Kodiaq Scout

Standard-fit all-wheel drive should mean the Kodiaq Scout’s all-terrain ability lives up to its more rugged look.

This new variant also comes with the Off-Road Assist package, plus ground clearance is a fairly decent 194 mm (7.6”). Other indicators of prowess over rough ground are the approach, ramp break-over and departure angles, which Škoda says are 22.0°, 19.7° and 23.1° respectively.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
