2020 Honda Civic Sport Line announced

Cars like the new Civic Sport Line might be ‘all show and no go’, but their combination of purposeful looks and ordinary engines is popular with many customers. That’s perfectly understandable, because not everyone wants high performance (or the associated running costs).

This additional trim grade is based on the existing EX hatchback. As well as full LED headlights and gloss black 17” alloy wheels, it gains a subtle body kit comprising a front splitter, side skirts, a rear diffuser and a boot spoiler.

Inside, the changes are limited to some red stitching and aluminium pedals. More useful is the standard-fit Honda Connect infotainment system which is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Power is provided by a 1.0 litre, three-cylinder, turbocharged petrol unit with VTEC. Output and torque are both fairly modest, being rated at 124 bhp (93 kW / 126 PS) and 200 Nm (147 lb/ft) respectively.

Civic Sport Line prices start at £25,510 if a six-speed manual gearbox is chosen. Opting for a continuously-variable automatic transmission instead sees that figure rise to £26,910.

Deliveries are due to begin next month.

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
