The Marco Polo Horizon is all about flexibility

Mercedes-Benz has added a third model to its Marco Polo range. The newcomer, named Horizon, is a cross between a camper van and a people carrier.

Like the existing Marco Polo and Marco Polo Activity, Horizon comes with an elevating roof that accommodates a two-berth bed. Curtains for night-time privacy are also fitted, but there aren't any built-in kitchen facilities.

However, this variant – which is based on the V-Class – does boast flexible seating arrangements.

To complement a pair of swivelling front chairs, the rear features as standard a three-person bench. It converts into a 1.93 m x 1.35 m (6’ 4” x 4’ 5”) triple bed, meaning the compact Horizon can provide sleeping space for up to five (presumably very friendly) people.

If extra passengers need a ride, then a couple of optional individual seats can be slotted in to create a middle row. For an alternative layout, customers can specify four individual seats split across rows two and three instead.

In Germany, prices for the Marco Polo Horizon start at €52,051 (including 19% VAT).

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
