Chevrolet is adding to its 2014 Silverado full-size pick-up range with the launch of a premium High Country trim grade.

The options list isn’t particularly extensive, but it does include the High Country Premium Package which consists of an integrated trailer brake controller, adjustable pedals, a heated steering wheel and the driver alert pack.

On the outside, the High Country gains body-colour bumpers and unique 20” chrome wheels. Its door handles, mirror caps, side mouldings and unique grille are all chrome-plated, too.

Power is provided by a 5.3 litre direct injection EcoTec3 petrol V8 that produces 355 bhp (265 kW / 360 PS), although a larger capacity 6.2 litre engine will also be offered. Both have the capability to switch to a fuel-saving four-cylinder mode under light loads.

North American sales of the Chevrolet Silverado High Country are due to begin this autumn.

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
