2016 MG3 announced

Arguably, MG's 3 supermini deserves greater sales success. It's handsomely styled, there are plenty of personalisation options and prices are very attractive.

Perhaps a few updates for 2016 will be enough to convince more car buyers to consider the MG? The changes focus on the sole 1.5 litre petrol engine, which now features a stop-start system and achieves the EU6 emissions standard.

As a result, carbon dioxide pollution falls from 136 g/km to 124 g/km – admittedly not a massive drop, but enough to knock £20 off the annual road tax bill in the UK. MG says fuel economy is better too, but oddly figures haven't been released to back up that claim.

Apart from some additional colour combinations and a new chrome grille, the only other significant development is the introduction of a 3Style Lux trim grade which features leather upholstery.

MG3 3Time £8,399
MG3 3Form £9,599
MG3 3Form Sport £9,899
MG3 3Style £10,499
MG3 3Style Lux £10,999

Deliveries of the 2016 MG3 are due to begin next week.

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
