2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit launched

Following the unveiling of its new 2015 Charger earlier this year, Dodge has introduced a special Pursuit version for law enforcement agencies.

Compared to the civilian model the Charger Pursuit has plenty of modifications. Among them is a supplementary wiring harness and fusing that should make the installation of lights, sirens, cameras, computers and any other extra items much simpler. Also fitted is a slide-out ‘trunk tray’ upon which electronic devices can be mounted.

Unique interior features include a column-mounted gearshift lever and redesigned front-seat bolsters. Facing the driver is a 7” customisable instrument display screen, while the central part of the dashboard houses a 5” touchscreen that controls the Uconnect telematics system. Furthermore, the steering wheel has programmable buttons that can be set to activate aftermarket emergency equipment.

Like the regular Charger, operators can choose from either a 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 engine that produces 292 bhp (218 kW / 296 PS) or the 370 bhp (276 kW / 375 PS) 5.7 litre Hemi V8. Both come with rear-wheel drive, although the latter can be specified with all-wheel drive instead.

There aren’t too many mechanical changes, but the Charger Pursuit does boast larger and stronger brakes to help cope with the rigours of police use. For the same reason, the wheels are made from steel rather than aluminium.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
