Alfa Romeo Mito to Arrive in Australia in July

Alfa Romeo has confirmed the MiTo model will arrive in Australia in July, but only turbocharged versions will be available, with a choice of either 114 kW or 88 kW, both mated to six speed gearboxes.

“The MiTo is enormously important to Alfa Romeo as it takes us into a whole new market sector,”
explains Edward Butler, General Manager for Alfa Romeo in Australia.

Since MiTo is not just in the sector below the 147, but focused on the style of a mini-Coupe, Butler thinks “this has enabled Alfa Romeo’s acclaimed stylists to produce a car that as a purity of shape that has not been seen before. This means that MiTo is as much a pure Alfa Romeo has the Spider or Brera – something that has never been seen before in the class in which it will compete.”

The Q2 Electronic Differential effectively provides the MiTo with a limited slip differential, allowing it to reach to 100 kmh in 8.0 seconds.

Equipment and trim will come in two levels, but despite the combination of style, performance, exclusivity and features, Alfa Romeo believes that people will be surprised at its prices when they are announced.

“We cannot release the prices and specifications yet,” says Edward Butler. “But Alfa Romeo has a real value for money reputation across its range, so not only do I think people will pleasantly surprised when we announce prices and specifications in July, I think anyone looking for a car that offers the blend of style, performance an and luxury that sets all Italian cars apart from the rivals should wait until to July for MiTo!”
