2016 Nissan NP300 Navara first view

Nissan has revealed the all-new European-specification NP300 Navara. Compared to its predecessor, comfort and refinement levels are claimed to be much improved, but the pick-up's off-road ability remains.

There's a choice of Double Cab and King Cab versions. Interestingly, the former features a sophisticated five-link rear suspension set-up for better ride and handling, while the latter retains a simpler leaf spring arrangement.

One diesel engine is being offered in two states of tune. It's a 2.3 litre, four-cylinder unit that produces either 158 bhp (118 kW / 160 PS) or, thanks to twin turbochargers, 187 bhp (140 kW / 190 PS). Transmission options comprise six-speed manual and seven-speed automatic gearboxes, which can be mated with either two- or four-wheel drive.

The variety of equipment and technology further reflects that Nissan has made an effort to make the 2016 NP300 Navara more car-like. Among the available items are dual-zone climate control, an Around View Monitor, a rear-view reversing camera, LED headlights, keyless entry and Forward Emergency Braking.

UK prices and final trim levels have yet to be announced, but a five-year (or 100,000 mile) manufacturer warranty is going to be standard.

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
