alfa-romeo-mito-2014-uk-1

The Alfa Romeo MiTo has been updated for the 2014 model year in the UK, boasting higher specs, a revised interior and subtle styling changes. The baby Alfa gets a chromed front grille, titanium grey headlamp and tail lamp surrounds, a tinted rear window and a sports rear bumper.

The interior gets a new dashboard, upgraded plastics and a new five-inch Uconnect touch-screen that incorporates voice recognition, Bluetooth, USB, Aux and optional navigation. The colour menu has been revised with a new Matte Magnesio Grey finish.

The 2014 Alfa Romeo MiTo is available in Sprint, Distinctive, Sportiva and Quadrifoglio Verde (QV) trim levels. Seven airbags, start/stop, air-con, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear knob, front fog lamps, a rear spoiler and alloy wheels are standard across the range.

The Distinctive trim adds 17-inch alloys, cruise control, rear parking sensors and a front centre armrest, while Sportiva includes 18-inch sports alloys, a QV steering wheel and handbrake (trimmed in black leather with green stitching), satin-effect exterior highlights and special badges. Finally, the posh QV adds red, four-piston Brembo brake callipers, SDC active suspension system, bespoke sports seats with uprated upholstery and special QV wing badges.

The 875 cc TwinAir two-cylinder turbo engine now produces 105 hp. This gives the Alfa Romeo MiTo a 1.1-second faster century sprint time than the previous 85 hp version, even though torque is unchanged at 145 Nm. Combined fuel economy and CO2 emissions are a claimed 4.2 litres per 100 km and just under 100 grams per km respectively.

Other petrol engines are a 135 hp 1.4 TB MultiAir (with 206 Nm for manual and 230 Nm for TCT twin-clutch ‘box), a 170 hp/250 Nm version of that MultiAir for the QV. As for diesel, there’s a JTDM unit in 1.3 and 1.6 litre displacements, producing 85 hp/200 Nm and 120 hp/320 Nm respectively.

    Look at what Sime Darby has done ! Alfa literally erased the brand off MY streets as compared to former Milan Auto .

    is it still relevant alfa brand in Malaysia ?

    All i see are losers driving some problematic alfa 156 or the dugong look mito.

    Better buy vios. More reliable and like sam loo says, better resale value. Gerenti no Hailat face when trade in 5 years later.

    nope, it cant beat toyota reliability. Please dont compare Alfa Romeos and Toyotas, people who is worried about resale value and reliability are not car enthusiasts. They only use a car as a mode of transport, from point A to B :)
