The ground-breaking drive system of the technology vehicle boasts some outstanding features: powerful traction is provided by four synchronous electric motors with a combined peak output of 392 kW and a maximum torque of 880 Nm. A perceptible improvement in comfort is provided by newly designed seats in both Vito and Viano. Unique features include the PRE-SAFE occupant protection system, Rear Seat Safety package with belt force limiters on the outer seats and rear side airbags, as well as ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness detection. The interiors (dashboard, seats and instruments) have been completely revamped to make them more plush and elegant, and the car has a new eye-catching shape. We stock over 400 vehicles in inventory and have a large selection of diesel trucks ! Despite its large size, the Sprinter is surprisingly easy to drive thanks to the light steering, tight turning radius, and an optional reversing camera. The new Sprinter NGT with mono-fuel or bi-fuel natural gas drive confirms this assessment: sharply reduced exhaust gas and noise emissions, appreciably lower upkeep costs, and a large cruising range in combination with the standard drive are some of its advantages.



It is one of the few cars in its class to provide a driver knee bag as standard across all trims. As well as the usual ABS, EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) and ESP (Electronic Stability Program) systems, there are other useful features such as the Hill Holder system, which helps the driver with hill starts by keeping the car stationary for a few seconds in order to prevent it from rolling backwards, and the adaptive cornering front fog lights that come on automatically on dipped beam according to the steering angle. The new 135 hp engine's top speed and time to accelerate from 0-100 km/h puts it at the top of the supermini class: 200 km/h (205 for the Sport version) and just 8.5 seconds. Performance is excellent: from 0-100 km/h in 10.8 seconds and top speed of 185 km/h. This highly advanced solution can control high engine pressures (up to 1600 bar) without being tied to engine speed or the quantity of fuel injected.



Depending on the engine, you can get five or six-speed mechanical or robotised sequential gearboxes (Dualogic) that have been optimised for excellent manoeuvrability and very low noise levels. The technological excellence of the Fiat Punto Evo is in evidence primarily through the extensive range of engines, designed and manufactured by FPT - Fiat Powertrain Technologies, that can be powered by petrol, petrol/LPG, petrol/methane or diesel. The technological excellence of the Fiat Punto Evo is in evidence primarily through the broad range of Euro 5 engines, including the second-generation 1.3 MultiJet and the 1.4 MultiAir - the revolutionary technology developed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies that will gradually be adopted by all Fiat Group engines. Making its debut on the Fiat Punto Evo, the 1.4 MultiAir is the revolutionary head of a new family of engines equipped with the MultiAir technology developed and patented by FPT - Fiat Powertrain Technologies. Balance and temperament are also attributes of the 105 hp 1.4 MultiAir power unit. The second-generation MultiJets are therefore the latest development in the Common Rail injection system which, after the JTD (1997) and MultiJet (2003) engines, gives the Fiat Group yet another first in this field. The Euro 5 versions have next-generation turbochargers that, combined with the new second-generation MultiJet injection system, ensure the best possible turbo function at any engine operating level, with torque delivery at low revs up to 25 per cent higher than on Euro 4 versions.



The performance levels of the 95 hp second-generation 1.3 MultiJet (Euro 5) are well worth a mention: top speed of 178 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 11.7 seconds, consumption of 4.2 l/100 km and 110 g/km of CO2 emissions (in the combined cycle). In fact, the new common rail injector on the Euro 5 engines cuts consumption and CO2 on the approved cycle by around 2%, while at the same time reducing harmful emissions. BlueTEC diesel units and the new generation of BlueDIRECT direct-injection petrol engines form the basis for the excellent economy and outstanding life cycle assessment of the new M-Class. When the brake pedal is released, the V8 immediately kicks back to life (a crankshaft sensor ensures the engine management system knows precisely which cylinder to fire first to enable the fastest possible start). At the heart of the MultiAir is a new electrohydraulic valve management system that enables reduced fuel consumption (by controlling air directly via the engine intake valves, without using the throttle) and harmful emissions (via combustion control), as well as improved performance.
