2016 Nissan Titan XD pick-up unveiled

This year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit has seen Nissan launch the all-new Titan XD full-size pick-up truck.

With bold styling that incorporates a huge front grille, it’s going to be available in two different chassis lengths with a choice of standard, crew and king cabs. To further complicate the buying process, the range is set to comprise five trim grades.

And then there are the powertrain options. As well as V6 and V8 petrol engines, Nissan intends to offer a Cummins 5.0 litre V8 turbo diesel that delivers 310 bhp (231 kW / 314 PS) and 752 Nm (555 lb-ft) of torque via an Aisin six-speed automatic transmission. Naturally both rear- and four-wheel drive versions have been developed.

The second-generation Titan, which will be manufactured in Mississippi, boasts an estimated payload capacity of up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg) and a towing capability that Nissan says should exceed 12,000 lbs (5,443 kg).

By contrast, the maximum a 2015 Ford F-150 can carry is 3,300 lbs (1,496 kg) when equipped with the Heavy Duty Package, while certain variants are able to haul 12,200 lbs (5,533 kg).

Sales of the Nissan Titan XD are scheduled to begin across North America late this year.

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
