Interbrand’s most valuable auto brands of 2018

Toyota is still the world’s top automotive brand, according to the 2018 Interbrand 100 Best Global Brands study. As in previous years, that assessment was based primarily on financial performance, competitive strength and influence over purchasing decisions.

Toyota is Interbrand's most valuable automotive brand of 2018.

Generally, the results didn’t change much compared to 2017. Nissan and Volkswagen both overtook Audi, while Harley-Davidson slipped behind Mini and Ferrari. Indeed, the American motorcycle manufacturer suffered a significant drop in its overall worth.

Subaru was a new entry, with clarity, authenticity and engagement being cited as key attributes. Tesla disappeared from the list, though.

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.

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.
