Nissan Navara Visia

Nissan is introducing the Visia, a more affordable entry-level version of its Navara double-cab pick-up.

Aimed at business users and the fleet market, prices start at £17,995 (excluding VAT), a saving of over £1,400 compared to the existing Acenta trim grade.

The Visia misses out on some cosmetic specification, but arguably the lack of chrome trim gives it a classier look. And it’s not as if the equipment list is totally bereft, because Bluetooth connectivity, six airbags, 17” alloy wheels, air conditioning and an electronic stability system all come as standard.

Power is provided by the familiar 2.5 litre, four-cylinder diesel engine, although potential operators will need to be aware that it has been de-tuned for the Visia: output is down from the usual 187 bhp (140 kW / 190 PS) to 142 bhp (105 kW / 144 PS), while torque drops by 100 Nm (73 lb/ft) to 350 Nm (258 lb/ft). Nevertheless, part-time all-wheel drive and low and high gear ratio modes still feature.

Ford launches Fiesta Metal

Image
The hot ST should hopefully be arriving in showrooms soon but, until that happens, the quickest Fiesta available will be the just-announced Metal special edition. Based on the existing three-door Zetec S, it comes complete with Ford’s Tuning Pack that lifts the 1.6 litre Duratec engine’s power by 13 bhp (8 kW / 14 PS) to 132 bhp (96 kW / 134 PS). Although top speed is virtually unchanged at 121 mph (195 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time is slashed from 9.9 to 8.7 seconds. To go with the extra performance, the looks have been spruced up too. There are 17” black alloy wheels, twin chrome exhausts and a silver finish at the front for the aerofoil, grille surround and fog light bezels. Paintwork choice comprises Frozen White, Midnight Sky Metallic or Panther Black Metallic. The interior hasn’t been ignored, either. It gets Ebony Black leather sports seats, Piano Black trim, stainless steel door scuff plates and unique floor mats. Only 1,000 examples of the Ford F

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

Image
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.
