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.

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 ...
