The Nissan e-NV200 gets more range for 2018

Thanks to a new 40 kWh lithium-ion battery, the revised Nissan e-NV200 pure-electric van should appeal to a significantly larger number of urban operators.

That's because range is much better. According to the official NEDC measure, 174 miles (280 kilometres) can now be driven on a single charge. By comparison, the previous version could achieve 106 miles (170 kilometres) at best.

Acceleration isn't too bad either. An AC synchronous electric motor delivers 107 bhp (80 kW / 109 PS) with 254 Nm (187 lb/ft) of peak torque, which allows the e-NV200 to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in around 14 seconds. Top speed is less relevant, but for the record it's just 76 mph (123 km/h).

A full recharge takes a protracted 21.5 hours via a standard domestic supply, but the time required reduces to 7.5 hours when using a dedicated 32 amp wallbox. Alternatively, 80% replenishment is possible in just 40 minutes if plugged into a quick-charge facility.

As the higher-capacity battery pack is no larger than before, cargo volume remains at 4.2 m³. Maximum payload meanwhile is 694 kg (1,530 lbs).

Nissan dealers will begin accepting orders for the improved e-NV200 before the end of this year. Prices have yet to be announced.

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
