Škoda Scala teaser campaign begins

Next year, Škoda is going to launch an all-new five-door hatchback named Scala. In the meantime, photographers needn’t waste their time trying to get any spy shots, because some official ones have already been released.

The Scala – which is based on the familiar Volkswagen Group MQB platform – measures 4,362 mm (171.1”) from bumper to bumper. That’s actually 104 mm (4.1”) longer than a Volkswagen Golf.

Škoda is keen to point out that interior space is on a par with its slightly larger Octavia, thanks partly to a body width of 1,793 mm (70.6”) and a 2,649 mm (104.3”) wheelbase. Such parity is bound to lead to some intra-brand sales cannibalisation, though.

Power will come from a selection of one diesel and three petrol engines. All are turbocharged and outputs vary from 88 bhp (66 kW / 90 PS) to 148 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS). A unit that runs on natural gas is also due to be offered, but only in selected markets.

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
