Genesis is adding a second SUV to its growing range. Named GV70, the newcomer shares a platform with the G70 compact executive saloon.

An ‘Athletic Elegance’ design philosophy has resulted in pleasingly low and wide proportions. Many styling cues – including the ‘crest’ grille and double-stacked headlight arrangement – are typically Genesis. However, a unique and distinctive treatment aft of the rear doors helps to differentiate the GV70 from the brand’s other models.

At this stage few technical details are known, but Genesis has confirmed that both rear- and all-wheel drive versions are going to be available. Furthermore, customers will have a choice of regular or Sport variants, with the latter boasting 21” five-spoke wheels, dark chrome trim and a special interior.

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. 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
