Toyota Yaris Orange Edition revealed

Too often manufacturers go down the hackneyed route of producing black-themed special models when a few extra sales are needed. So kudos to Toyota for deciding to introduce the Yaris Orange Edition instead.

Naturally, striking Orange Twist metallic paint is the only colour option for this version of the French-built supermini.

Based on the Icon trim grade, its additional equipment list includes a fixed Skyview panoramic roof, LED daytime running lights, LED rear light clusters, a tailgate spoiler and upgraded 16” alloy wheels.

The Orange Edition's interior meanwhile gains rear electric windows, a black headlining, piano black trim and unique orange-stitched floor mats.

When deliveries begin next month customers will have a choice of four powertrain combinations. Compared to the Yaris Icon, prices are generally £1,530 higher, although the hybrid variant carries a slightly lower premium of £1,500.

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
