One of the biggest MPVs on the market has just been improved thanks to the introduction of a new 2.0-litre diesel engine.

The new unit produces 153bhp and 266lb ft of torque and meets the latest Euro 5 emissions regulations.

It’s the same engine that is fitted to the Korando Sports pick-up and is capable of 37.6mpg on the combined cycle when fitted with the manual gearbox.

Four versions are available; an entry-level S, mid-range ES with manual and automatic transmissions and a flagship EX model with four-wheel-drive and automatic gearbox.

Prices start at just £15,995 and rise to £21,995 which is an absolute bargain, with all models coming with seven-seats and a five-year limitless warranty.

All models feature climate control, a leather steering wheel and gear knob, four electric windows, Bluetooth connectivity, front fog lights and roof rails.

ES versions add leather upholstery, electric and heated seats, privacy glass and 16-inch alloy wheels, while the top-spec EX models add the aforementioned all-wheel-drive system.

The revised Rodius line-up is available to order now.
