Citroën reveals the new electric ë-Berlingo

Apart from some cosmetic differences, the ë-Berlingo pure-electric MPV is virtually the same as the Vauxhall / Opel Combo-e Life that was unveiled earlier this month.

Therefore, both Medium and XL variants will be offered which have overall lengths of 4.40 m (14’ 5”) and 4.75 m (15’ 7”) respectively. Up to seven seats can be specified.

The electric motor’s output depends on the driving mode selected:
  • ‘Eco’ minimises energy consumption by restricting power to 81 PS (80 bhp / 60 kW) and torque to 180 Nm (132 lb-ft)
  • ‘Normal’ increases those figures to a mid-level setting of 108 PS (107 bhp / 80 kW) and 210 Nm (154 lb-ft)
  • ‘Power’ permits better performance by allowing access to the full 136 PS (134 bhp / 100 kW) and 260 Nm (191 lb-ft)

With an under-floor 50 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a two-mode regenerative braking system, maximum range according to the WLTP method is 174 miles (280 kilometres). It’s adequate but not outstanding, in other words.

A 7.4 kW single-phase on-board charger is fitted as standard, while an 11.0 kW three-phase alternative is going to be optional. More significantly, 100 kW DC fast charging is supported, so a recharge to 80 percent capacity is possible in just half an hour.

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 ...
