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).

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
