2015 Buick Envision launched

For the time being Buick is intending to offer its new Envision only in China. Measuring 4,667 mm (15’ 4”) long and 1,839 mm (6’ 0”) wide, it’ll fill a gap in the brand’s SUV range that currently exists between the subcompact Encore and full-size Enclave.

Buyers are going to get a choice of AWD Elite, AWD Luxury, AWD Versatile Flagship and AWD Versatile Sporty Flagship trim grades.

Standard equipment includes a panoramic sunroof, electronic stability control, forward collision alert, adaptive cruise control, a sliding rear seat bench, 19” alloy wheels and a noise-cancelling device for the cabin. If that’s not sufficient, then the Envision’s specification can be upgraded with various cost options such as an automatic parking system and hill descent control.

Just one engine will be available, though. It’s a 2.0 litre turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine producing 256 bhp (191 kW / 260 PS) with 353 Nm (260 lb/ft) of peak torque.

That output, which is delivered via a six-speed automatic transmission to an intelligent all-wheel drive system, is enough for a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 8.4 seconds. Combined fuel economy meanwhile is 32.1 mpg (8.8 l/100km).

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
