Citroën Aircross concept heading to Shanghai

China is currently the largest single market for Citroën, accounting for a quarter of the brand's global sales. Given such a statistic, it's hardly surprising that the French firm has created something special for this month's Auto Shanghai motor show.

The hybrid-powered Aircross concept is an SUV which exhibits influences from the production C4 Cactus. However, instead of the latter's Airbump protective panels, the Aircross features 'Alloy Bumps' and 'Air Signs'.

Citroën describes the styling as being protective, welcoming and lacking aggression. The result is certainly unusual, but from some angles the massive wheel arches and bulbous front end appear to be disproportionately large.

Inside, the emphasis is on fostering a sense of uncluttered space. There are four generously-sized seats covered in white and orange two-tone upholstery. Above them a glazed roof panel contributes to the airy ambience, while the lack of B-pillars should make access easy.

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
