Kia introduces the XCeed Edition

All of Kia’s UK showrooms are currently closed for obvious reasons, but when they reopen customers will be able to order an XCeed Edition. This new addition to the range – which is based on the existing entry-level ‘2’ trim grade – benefits from some extra features.

The Edition’s enhanced specification includes metallic paint (there’s a choice of Blue Flame, Lunar Silver or Quantum Yellow), rear privacy glass and a power-folding function for the heated door mirrors. Also fitted are 18” alloy wheels instead of the usual 16” rims, as well as black cloth and faux leather upholstery.

That lot builds on the already decent XCeed ‘2’ equipment list. Among its standard items are LED headlights, keyless entry, cruise control, a reversing camera, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Lane Keeping Assist. Furthermore, an 8” touchscreen controls an infotainment system that’s compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

A 1.0 litre T-GDi three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and a six-speed manual gearbox comprise the sole available powertrain. Output is rated at 118 bhp (88 kW / 120 PS), while peak torque is 172 Nm (126 lb/ft).

The XCeed Edition costs £20,995.

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

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 ...
