Renault Zoe Riviera Limited Edition unveiled

Midnight Blue metallic paintwork, subtle white stripes and 16” ‘Seidon’ diamond-cut alloy wheels distinguish the Zoe Riviera Limited Edition.

This new arrival is based on the existing range-topping GT Line trim grade, so the specification is already decent. Indeed, standard features include LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, a 10” TFT driver information display, a 9.3” infotainment touchscreen and satellite navigation.

In addition, the Riviera Limited Edition is equipped with a semi-autonomous hands-free parking system.

Power is provided by the R135 electric motor which delivers 135 PS (134 bhp / 100 kW) plus 245 Nm (180 lb-ft) of peak torque via a single-speed transmission. Thanks to a 52 kWh Z.E. 50 battery pack, maximum range (according to the WLTP measure) is 238 miles (383 kilometres).

The Riviera Limited Edition can be ordered now, but just 300 examples are available in the UK. On-the-road prices start at £32,295 (after deducting the government’s £2,500 Plug-in Car Grant). Temptingly, that’s only £200 more than a Zoe GT Line currently costs.

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

Moto Guzzi V7 Record kit

Image
Inspired by the 1969 V7 Record that set several speed records for Moto Guzzi, the new Record kit has been designed to give current-generation V7 models a retro endurance racer look. Included is a lightweight fibreglass front fairing (which handily uses the existing headlight), plus a replacement single seat unit that features memory foam. The kit can be fitted to the V7 Café and V7 Racer without any modifications. It’s also suitable for the V7 Classic, V7 Special and V7 Stone, but a set of Moto Guzzi clip-on handlebars will be needed as well for those variants. Priced at £1,399.99 in the UK, the Record kit is available from dealers now. Related post: Moto Guzzi Corsa special

Chevy Captiva for the US

Image
Chevrolet’s Captiva is set to become a truly global vehicle. The compact crossover, which is already available in more than fifty territories worldwide, will soon add the United States to its tally of markets when sales begin there towards the end of this year. To be known as the Captiva Sport in the US, Chevrolet is aiming its new addition primarily at fleet customers. Arguably it’s a direct replacement for the defunct Saturn Vue, which was itself based on the Captiva’s very close relation, the Vauxhall / Opel Antara . Buyers will be able to choose from either a 182 bhp (136 kW / 184PS) 2.4 litre I4 or a 264 bhp (197 kW / 267 PS) 3.0 litre V6 petrol engine, both mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox - no diesels or manual transmissions here, predictably. Front- and all-wheel drive versions will be available, but no performance or economy figures have been released. Proposed equipment levels are generous. Base LS spec models will come with air conditioning, anti-lock brakes, tr
