Alfa unveils new-look Mito

Alfa Romeo has announced a range of updates to the Mito –turning the oldest model in its range into, in a manner of speaking, the newest.

It’s not just a doorhandle relaunch, either. Engines, spec levels and multimedia all get attention, as of course does the way the thing looks.

To the latter end, the inevitable alloys, bumper and grille revisions are appended to make the freshened-up Mito look different to before. It looks better inside, too, thanks to a new 5.0” media screen that’s standard from the bottom of the range up.

Said range starts with the base Mito model and ascends through Super, Speciale and Veloce.

Engine-wise, the 1.3 JTDM diesel now puts out in 94bhp, which is more, and 89g/km, which is less. All going in the right direction, then, but whatever direction you go in if you want to go in it faster the 168bhp Veloce 1.4 Multiair will have you on your way with a 7.3-second 0-62 time.
