Interbrand’s most valuable auto brands of 2016

Toyota is still the world's most valuable automotive brand, according to the latest Interbrand Best 100 Global Brands study. Indeed, a 9% uplift saw it move from sixth to fifth position in the overall standings.

But Nissan once again recorded the highest value increase of any car or motorcycle marque, resulting in a six-place improvement.

Significantly, Mercedes-Benz has overtaken arch-rival BMW, while relative newcomer Tesla appears on the list for the first time.

Tesla has become the 100th most valuable global brand.

As expected, the repercussions from the 'dieselgate' scandal continue to affect Volkswagen. Thanks to a 9% decrease in value and a five-slot drop, the German make now sits behind Ford, Hyundai and Audi.

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.

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.
