Subaru’s BRZ now has a lower starting price

In an effort to help its BRZ coupé appeal to a broader range of customers, Subaru has decided to reintroduce an SE entry-level trim grade.

The move, which follows a £2,500 cost reduction for the SE Lux version back in May, means that prices now start from £22,495.

Although the SE variants are £1,500 less than their SE Lux equivalents, their specifications aren’t actually very different. Indeed, apart from the loss of seat heating and the use of fabric upholstery instead of leather and Alcantara, they’re identical.

Both the SE and SE Lux come with 17” alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, xenon headlights, dual-zone air conditioning, cruise control and a six-speaker audio system. They also share the same 197 bhp (147 kW / 200 PS) 2.0 litre, four-cylinder, normally aspirated boxer engine.

The enlarged BRZ line-up is available in the UK now.

Subaru BRZ - UK Prices (September 2014)
SE manual £22,495
SE automatic £23,995
SE Lux manual £23,995
SE Lux automatic £25,495

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
