Fiat introduces the Tipo City Sport

Fiat has added the City Sport trim grade to its Tipo hatchback line-up. 18” diamond-cut alloy wheels plus a gloss black finish for the front grille, door handles and door mirror caps give the new arrival a more distinctive look.

Don’t expect any extra performance, though. Like every other 2021 Tipo, the City Sport is powered by a 999 cc, three-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine that produces 100 PS (98 bhp / 74 kW) with 190 Nm (140 lb-ft) of peak torque.

Accelerating from rest to 62 mph (100 km/h) takes a fairly leisurely 11.8 seconds, while the car’s top speed is 119 mph (191 km/h).

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
