Pricing for the electric 2021 Fiat 500 hatchback

Fiat has begun accepting reservations for the all-new electric Fiat 500 hatchback. As per the convertible model – which was announced in March – availability will be restricted initially to a special launch edition called La Prima.

Unsurprisingly, technical specifications for the two body styles are identical. Power comes from an electric motor that produces 116 bhp (87 kW / 118 PS), resulting in a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 9.0 seconds. The car’s top speed is limited to 93 mph (150 km/h).

Energy is stored in a 42 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Definitive range figures have yet to be released, but according to Fiat “up to” 199 miles (320 kilometres) is possible.

Because the 500 can accept inputs of up to 85 kW, replenishing a flat battery to 80% capacity takes a relatively quick 35 minutes via a public fast-charging facility. A 3 kW ‘easyWallbox’ is supplied for domestic use, but the optional 7.4 kW version is certainly going to be more practical.

Standard equipment on the 500 La Prima includes LED headlights, 17” diamond-cut alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof and a choice of Celestial Blue, Ocean Green or Mineral Grey paintwork. As well as ‘eco-leather’ upholstery, the interior features a 10.25” touchscreen and a UConnect 5 infotainment system that’s compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Numerous assistance technologies are fitted, too. Indeed, the presence of Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Centring and Intelligent Speed Assist means that Level 2 autonomous driving is feasible.

However, the 500 La Prima hatchback is an expensive proposition. After deducting the government’s £3,500 Plug-in Car Grant, UK on-the-road prices start at £26,995.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
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

BMW Concept M135i

Image
Next month’s Geneva Motor Show will see BMW unveil the latest addition to its new ‘M Performance’ line-up. Although not quite as hardcore as full-on M cars like the M3 and M5, the M Performance models are nevertheless designed to offer sharper handling, sportier styling and a powerful engine. The M550d xDrive, X5 M50d and the X6 M50d have already been announced as the first of the breed, but now it’s the turn of the F21 three-door 1 Series to get the M Performance treatment. Powering the Concept M135i is a six cylinder petrol engine with Twin Power Turbo technology. For now, all BMW is saying is that it generates ‘more than 300 horsepower’, which makes it sound as if it could be very similar to the three-litre, 335 bhp (250 kW / 340 PS) motor that’s currently used in the 1 Series M Coupé . As well as upgraded suspension, the Concept M135i also features 18” double-spoke alloy wheels, a sports braking system and bespoke aprons front and rear. The visual effect is completed by
