2019 Hymercar Grand Canyon S launched

This year’s Düsseldorf Caravan Salon is the first since the third-generation Mercedes-Benz Sprinter was introduced. Unsurprisingly, a few new campers based on that particular van have appeared at the 2018 show and, understandably, they’re receiving plenty of attention.

One of them is the latest Hymercar Grand Canyon S, which is available now in rear-wheel drive guise with a choice of three engines. However, anybody who needs some all-terrain ability might want to wait, because a 4x4 version is due to arrive next summer.

The interior layout is very conventional. Rotating cab seats form a half-dinette with the rear bench, while the mid section is occupied by a kitchenette on one side and a small wash room on the other. At the back of the van, there’s a transverse double bed (with conspicuous bulges built into the bodywork to provide sufficient length) above a storage area.

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
