2015 Škoda Fabia interior first view

Last week's official reveal of the 2015 Škoda Fabia didn't include any interior shots. However, that situation has now been partly resolved with the publication of a single dashboard image.

It's a neat – if not a particularly daring – piece of design. One aspect that potentially could be open to criticism is the central infotainment screen, which seems rather small. That's perhaps surprising as one available item will be MirrorLink, a device intended to replicate smartphone apps on the car's display.

Further details about the Fabia's specification have also been confirmed. Although the 2015 model is 8 mm (0.3”) shorter than its predecessor, Škoda is saying that cabin space is marginally better. Boot capacity meanwhile is up by 15 litres to 330 litres, making it class-leading.

As expected, Škoda is also focussing on the newcomer's 'Simply Clever' features. Meant to be practical rather than exciting, these include a dedicated high-vis vest pocket in the driver's door, a rubbish bin and seven bottle holders.

The 2015 Škoda Fabia is due to make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

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
