Some significant updates for the Nissan Navara

Apart from its new wheel designs, the 2019 Navara looks virtually identical to the superseded model. However, various mechanical upgrades have resulted in a pick-up that should be more capable and nicer to drive.

As before, power is provided by 2.3 litre, four-cylinder diesel engine which is offered with either 187 bhp (140 kW / 190 PS) or 160 bhp (120 kW / 163 PS). Thanks to the addition of a second turbocharger, peak torque from the lower-output version has risen by 22 Nm (16 lb/ft) to 425 Nm (313 lb/ft).

Crucially, both options are compliant with the latest Euro 6d-temp emission regulations, plus they gain an improved six-speed manual transmission that has longer gear ratios and a shorter shift pattern.

Braking performance is going to be much better, too. The rear drums have been replaced by discs, while the front discs are slightly bigger than before.

Also gone is the crude leaf spring rear suspension previously fitted to the two-door King Cab variants. Consequently, every Navara now features a multi-link set-up as standard. As well as delivering superior ride and handling characteristics, this enhancement increases payload by up to 46 kg (101 lbs).

Prices for the 2019 Navara start at £21,850 (excluding VAT, Vehicle Excise Duty and First Registration Fee).

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 ...
