Peugeot announces the Partner Tepee Electric

Peugeot has finally decided to offer an electric-powered version of the five-seat Partner Tepee MPV. Considering the virtually identical Partner Electric van was first unveiled in 2012, its arrival has been rather a long time coming.

Instead of an internal combustion engine, a 65 bhp (49 kW / 67 PS) electric motor sits beneath the bonnet. Peak torque is rated at 200 Nm (147 lb/ft) and a single-speed constant-ratio transmission is fitted.

Electricity is supplied by two lithium-ion battery packs, which are installed beneath the passenger compartment adjacent to the rear suspension. A combined capacity of 22.5 kWh allows an NEDC driving range of 106 miles (170 kilometres).

From flat to full, recharging via a regular domestic socket takes around eight hours. Alternatively, an optional (but seemingly essential) CHAdeMO-compatible fast charger takes thirty minutes to replenish the batteries to 80%.

Uniquely, the electric model’s heating or air conditioning can be remotely pre-set using a smartphone or tablet. The same app is also able to estimate recharge duration and show the prevailing battery charge state.

Deliveries of the Partner Tepee Electric are due to start in September.

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 ...
