2021 Mercedes-Benz eVito Tourer launched

As part of a series of updates for the mid-size Vito, Mercedes-Benz has introduced a new pure-electric people-mover version. Named eVito Tourer, it’s likely to be particularly popular with city-centre and urban operators.

A unique badge on the tailgate is pretty much the only visual indication that this model doesn’t have an internal combustion engine. Instead, an electric motor sends up to 201 bhp (150 kW / 204 PS) plus 362 Nm (267 lb/ft) of peak torque to the front wheels.

The most important component is probably the lithium-ion battery pack. Installed underneath the vehicle’s floor, a usable capacity of 90 kWh is sufficient for a combined-cycle range of 261 miles (421 kilometres).

Recharging is done via a CCS-compatible connector that’s integrated into the front bumper. As expected, the time required varies according to the method used:
  • 11 kW AC dedicated wallbox (0-100%) – less than 10 hours
  • 50 kW DC public facility (10-80%) – approximately 80 minutes
  • 110 kW DC public facility (10-80%) – less than 45 minutes
The eVito Tourer will be available with a choice of 5,140 mm (16’ 10”) or 5,370 mm (17’ 7”) body lengths. Deliveries are due to begin this summer, but UK prices and final specifications have yet to be confirmed.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
