2021 Renault Kangoo and Express first view

Next year will see the arrival of an all-new Kangoo and the virtually identical Express, both of which are going to be offered in panel van and five-seat passenger-carrying guises.

Renault is pitching the Kangoo as the more upmarket option, aimed at “fleets, craftsmen and traders” that want numerous advanced technologies such as a Permanent Rear View digital interior mirror.

Two body lengths and a selection of petrol, diesel and Z.E. electric powertrains should certainly provide enough configuration choices for prospective Kangoo customers.

The Express meanwhile is targeted at “young entrepreneurs and small fleets” requiring a cheaper alternative.

Accordingly, equipment levels are expected to be less opulent and the interior has a tougher ambience. However, things won’t be entirely basic, because various driver aids including Front and Rear Park Assist, Blind Spot Warning and Rear-View Assist appear on its kit list.

Renault intends to manufacture the Kangoo Van and Kangoo in France, with sales planned across Europe and other selected markets.

Conversely, a Renault factory in Morocco has been given the task of assembling the Express Van and Express. Only the cargo variant is destined for European dealers, though.

Full details about UK availability, specifications and prices are due to be announced sometime in 2021.

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
