Alfa Romeo has released details of the revised MiTo range that will start selling this May. We are waiting for confirmation from AutoConnexion, the Malaysian brand guardian of the Alfa marquee on its arrival here. From having 17 versions, the range has been streamlined to 9, with the Sprint replacing both Turismo and Lusso trim levels. Furthermore, the entry level versions have been named Progression, and Distinctive and Quadrifoglio Verde versions replace Veloce and Cloverleaf.
When it comes to improved specs, additional equipment were used by Distinctive (formerly Veloce) and Quadrifoglio Verde (Cloverleaf), including Cruise Control, Sports pedals and rear parking sensors. Three new engines are available.
The first is a 1.4 8v 78bhp (offered in Progression and Sprint, replacing the 1.4 16v 95bhp unit), 1.4 MultiAir 105bhp (available with Sprint or Distinctive trims), and the new 1.3 JTDM-2 (Sprint only, replacing the 1.3 16v 95bhp unit) which produces 85bhp and 95g/km of CO2. The Alfa MiTo will be offered in Metal Bronze, a color that’s new to the range and was shown off as a preview at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. A new Sprint Bronze available for both can be ordered for both Progression and Sprint versions.
