2017 Alfa Romeo MiTo
The New Alfa Romeo Mito debuted at the
2016 Geneva Motor Show. The model is reasserting itself in many ways, while
maintaining its position as small sports car capable of winning over customers
attracted by its Italian style and technical excellence offering maximum
driving satisfaction in total safety.
The New Mito revamped its
looks by presenting an unprecedented grille and a strong family resemblance to
the captivating Giulia. Additionally, after débuting on the Giulia, the
refreshed brand logo and new name lettering are affixed to the compact Alfa
Romeo for the first time.
An additional affinity with the Giulia
model is range rationalisation. The line-up now includes three trim levels
(Mito, Super and Veloce) and two specific packs (Veloce and Lusso).
Nine body colours, including the
brand-new pastel white, and no fewer than eight different alloy wheels
(including three new 16", 17" and 18" patterns),complete a
line-up that will allow customers to pick the version of the New Mito most
suited to their inclinations and needs. Additionally, depending on the trim
levels and on the country of purchase, specific packs are available (Style, Comfort
and Visibility) that group together the most popular equipment, for significant
savings.
There are news in terms of engine
versions too, with the unprecedented 95 HP 1.3 MultiJet which stands out for
its brilliant temperament, high fuel economy and low emissions. All this
without compromising on performance: 180 km/h top speed and acceleration from 0
to 100 km/h in 12.5 seconds. The extensive line-up is thus supplemented,
already featuring the 78 HP 1.4-litre engine, the 140 HP or 170 HP 1.4-litre MultiAir
Turbo petrol engines (both with TCT automatic transmission), the 105 HP
0.9-litre Turbo TwinAir and the 120 HP 1.4-litre LPG Turbo.
To accommodate the needs of customers
who increasingly crave for new technology-friendly cars and connectivity with
social channels, the New Mito comes with UConnect with 5" touchscreen
complete with Bluetooth interface, Aux-in connector, USB port and voice
controls. A version adding the innovative digital radio (DAB) and the new
Uconnect Live services for keeping in touch with multiple applications using a
smartphone is also available. Finally, Uconnect LIVE
enables you to access my:Car, thanks to the real time warnings, which provides
reminders on maintenance procedures and access to an interactive manual, all
features that allow the driver to maintain their car in the best way possible.
In addition, with Efficient Drive, the driver receives tips about their driving
style and, thanks to the real-time feedback received, can thus slash fuel
consumption and reduce CO2 emissions.
The first Mito trim level stands out for
the new nose embellished by headlights with burnished surrounds, satin door
handles, 16" wheels and body colour mirror caps. Inside, the dark sports
ambience is reasserted by the new black fabric seats, sporting the Alfa Romeo
badge on the head restraints, and the steering wheel with the refreshed Alfa
Romeo symbol in the centre. The refreshed style elements are accompanied by
comprehensive standard equipment which includes manual climate control, 7
airbags, Alfa DNA selector (with Q2 electronic differential and DST) and the ESC
system (with ASR and Hill Holder).
The Super trim level is packed with even
more contents, and in addition to the already generous standard equipment
supplied with the first trim levels, it includes: 16" alloy wheels, satin
mirror caps, cruise control, Uconnect infotainment system with 5"
touchscreen and new Anthracite grey fabric and black eco-leather seats with
matching stitching with the Alfa Romeo logo printed on the front head
restraints. Upon request, customers can equip their Mito Super with automatic
climate control and fine leather seat upholstery - in black, tobacco and red -
with the Alfa Romeo logo on the side. In addition, the Veloce and Lusso packs
are also available, to enhance the sports or elegant attitude of the New Mito
Super.
The New Mito line-up is completed with
the Veloce trim level which features style elements for an even bolder look and
technical-racing features for a no-compromise stance on the road. These include
sports suspensions with sports set-up, sports rear bumper, double exhaust pipe,
17'' alloy wheels and oversized Brembo brake system. Other interesting features
include the dedicated external badge, tinted rear windows, new headlights with
carbon look and glossy black finish on mirror caps, handles, headlight surrounds
and grille finish. On the inside, the sports vocation of the New Mito Veloce is
reasserted by the specific contoured steering wheel and the aluminium cover on
the pedals and heel pad. The standard equipment is completed with the new
sports seats in fabric and Alcantara upholstery, with contrasting red
stitching, and the Alfa Romeo logo sewn onto the head restraints. In addition,
Sabelt sports seats in Alcantara, with carbon shell, are available, or the more
elegant black and red leather seats, upon request.
Whatever the chosen version, the New
Mito makes the dream of driving an Alfa Romeo accessible to all, in a
compendium of technology and performance, capable of turning any journey into a
thrilling driving experience. The New Mito was conceived for them - this car is
always connected, environmentally-friendly and truly metropolitan in style.
