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.

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 ...
