Suzuki’s 2015 Tokyo Motor Show concept cars

Some concept cars offer a preview of future production models, but others are more fun creations that exist to show off a design team's talents. Definite candidates for the second category are the slightly oddball Suzuki Air Triser and Mighty Deck.

Air Triser is a compact minivan with a box-like profile and a striking two-tone geometric colour scheme. Its interior, which is accessed via sliding doors, is all about flexible configurations.

For travelling, six people can be accommodated across three rows of seats. However, once parked, there's a choice of lounge or relaxation modes. The former sees the seats rearranged into a U-shape sofa, while the latter has them facing each other.

Reflecting a common marketing obsession, the Mighty Deck is intended to appeal to people who have 'lifestyles'. And apparently that demographic needs a tiny car with most of its back end hacked off.

In place of a conventional (and probably just as practical) hatchback, Suzuki has come up with a small open cargo space that features a flip-up cover. Also fitted are a retractable rear window and a canvas sunroof, so the cabin should get plenty of fresh air when required.

The Air Triser and Mighty Deck are due to make their public debuts at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month.

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
