Two 2016 Colorado special editions revealed

Chevrolet has announced that the new Colorado Z71 Trail Boss and Midnight Edition are due to arrive at dealers later this year.

Like its predecessor, the 2016 Z71 Trail Boss is aimed at off-road users. The package’s key feature is a set of black 17” wheels shod with Goodyear Wrangler DuraTec all-terrain tyres. Also fitted are extended arches, tubular side steps, a spray-on bedliner and a sport bar with LED lights.

The Midnight Edition, which is based on the existing LT trim grade, provides a blacked-out look. This familiar theme sees the 18” wheels, front grille, bowtie badges and soft tonneau cover all gain a black finish. Naturally, black is the only paintwork option.

Both special models are being offered in extended cab and crew cab guises. The usual powertrain line-up applies, so customers are going to have a choice of 2.8 litre Duramax turbo diesel, 2.5 litre I4 gasoline or 3.6 litre V6 gasoline engines. They’ll also get to specify either two- or four-wheel drive.

Prices have yet to be announced.

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
