2015 Ram ProMaster City revealed

If the new Ram ProMaster City seems familiar, that’s because it’s essentially a reworked Fiat Doblò (a model which, incidentally, is also marketed in Europe by General Motors as the Vauxhall / Opel Combo).

Like the Doblò and Combo, the ProMaster City is going to be manufactured Bursa, Turkey. However the Ram version does have some unique aspects.

Key among them are the redesigned nose and a 2.4 litre Tigershark petrol engine. With MultiAir2 electro-hydraulic fully variable valve control, the four-cylinder motor develops 178 bhp (133 kW / 180 PS) with 236 Nm (174 lb/ft) of peak torque. That output is delivered to the front wheels via an innovative standard-fit 948TE nine-speed automatic transmission. Unsurprisingly though, there’s no diesel option yet.

Riding on a 310.9 cm (122.4”) wheelbase, the ProMaster City is being offered in Tradesman panel van and Wagon five-seat configurations. The Tradesman’s load area measures 221.5 cm (87.2”) long by 153.4 cm (60.4”) wide and it has an internal height of 131.6 cm (51.8”). To complement that space, maximum payload is a class-leading 854 kg (1,883 lbs).

Buyers will certainly get plenty of choice, as two trim grades and various glazing arrangements mean the range consists of eight variants:
  • Tradesman Cargo with security panels
  • Tradesman Cargo with rear windows
  • Tradesman Cargo with rear and side windows
  • Tradesman SLT Cargo with security panels
  • Tradesman SLT Cargo with rear windows
  • Tradesman SLT Cargo with rear and side windows
  • Wagon with rear and side windows
  • Wagon SLT with rear and side windows
Sales of the 2015 Ram ProMaster City are due to begin early next year.

‘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.
