Vauxhall / Opel Crossland X first view

In its launch photographs, the new Crossland X looks fairly bulky. Don't be deceived though, because this B-segment crossover (which will sit alongside the Mokka X in the Vauxhall and Opel ranges) is actually quite compact.

Measuring 4,212 mm (13’ 9”) long, 1,765 mm (5’ 9”) wide and 1,590 mm (5’ 2”) high, the Crossland X is about the same size as a Renault Captur. Those dimensions have been combined with a flexible interior, something that the car's target market should appreciate.

For instance, the rear seats are moveable by 150 mm (5.9”) fore and aft, so luggage capacity can be up to 520 litres when they're in use. Fold them down and that figure increases to a useful 1,255 litres.

There's plenty of in-cabin technology, too. OnStar – which, among other things, provides a wi-fi hotspot – is going to be fitted as standard, together with an infotainment system compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Further items on the extensive available equipment list include wireless inductive phone charging, a 180° rear-view camera, a head-up display, speed sign recognition and driver drowsiness detection.

Crossland X deliveries are due to begin in the summer.

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
