2016 GMC Sierra Elevation Edition announced

GMC has confirmed that the Elevation Edition will be part of its refreshed 2016 Sierra 1500 pick-up range.

The interior meanwhile gains some extra specification. A highlight is the upgraded touchscreen-controlled IntelliLink infotainment system which, as well as having OnStar 4G LTE and a Wi-Fi hotspot, boasts Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

Offered in double cab guise only, the Elevation Edition features a 285 bhp (212 kW / 289 PS) 4.3 litre EcoTec V6 engine as standard. If that output isn't enough, a 355 bhp (264 kW / 360 PS) 5.3 litre V8 can be ordered instead. Both powertrain options are available with either rear- or four-wheel drive.

Sales are due to begin early next year.

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
