2012 TOYOTA VERSO-S MINI MPV
2012 Toyota Verso-S will make its world debut at the Paris motor show, prior to anticipated launch in the UK early in 2011. The mini-MPV will also celebrate 10 years of full hybrid technology and look to its future development with Prius Plug-in Hybrid.
The Verso-S is an object lesson in space management, small, spacious and smart,. Although it has the shortest overall length of any B-segment MPV in Europe less than four metres careful attention to detail and a practical, flexible interior design have maximised usable space, comfort and perceived quality.
The new 2012 Verso-S is available with either a 1.33 litre dual VVT-i petrol engine or a 1.4 litre D-4D turbodiesel. Both engines are mated, as standard, to 6-speed manual transmissions. The 1.33 litre petrol engine may be equipped with an optional Multidrive, continuously variable transmission which features a 7-step, sequential paddle shift mode. An optional, 6-speed MultiMode transmission is available for the 1.4 litre turbodiesel.
Both Euro 5-compliant powertrains benefit fully from the low friction components, super-lightweight compact design and enhanced combustion efficiency inherent in Toyota Optimal Drive. Comprehensive weight saving measures make the Toyota Verso-S the lightest car in its class. This, combined with highly aerodynamic styling which gives the Verso-S a drag coefficient (Cd) of just 0.297, awards the new Toyota class-leading fuel economy and CO2 emissions.4
2011 RENAULT KANGOO MAXI ZE
Renault Kangoo Maxi Z.E makes its world debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the car is a newest member of its EV family that will go on sale in autumn 2011. Available in two or five-seat configurations, the five-seat version comes with a 60/40-split folding rear bench, which disappears into the floor to release a completely flat deck and free up almost 3.4 cubic meters (120 cubic feet) of carrying space.
Renault claimed that it has a maximum carrying capacity of 4.6 cubic meters (162.4 cubic feet), thanks to the 40 cm longer wheelbase (1.3 ft) than the Kangoo Z.E., while the load length is 2.9 meters (9.5 ft).
2012 Renault Kangoo Maxi Z.E is powered by a 60-horsepower electric motor, which has an instant peak torque of 226 Nm (166 lb-ft) and is “fuelled” by a 22kWh lithium-ion battery located under the floor.
