How can you take something good and make it even better? The refresh on specific points with small and thoughtful interventions is the best choice. That’s what Alfa Romeo did in the renewal of Mito. Although this car has been around for almost six years and has been proven as great car for road trips or traveling, it still looks as fresh and vibrant as the first day of its presentation. That was why the Italian company spent hardly any time for any aesthetic model update. Thus the name Mito MY2014.

The changes in the new Mito are on the new grille with chrome frame, in a slightly altered interior with new materials that further incorporates the new Uconnect system with color 5 inch touch screen and the optional navigation system. The color palette has also the Antracite gray. These enhance the style to keep the interest of the public alive for many years.

The car has a standard Start / Stop system which seems to be working better than in the older model and generally than we are used to the other Italian cars. The Italian factory announces that at 100 km Mito consumes just 3.5 liters. Furthermore, except from the low fuel consumption, another advantage is that the owner will not have to pay road taxes in many countries, as the chrome exhaust of the car emits only 90 grams of CO2 per km. In terms of safety Alfa Romeo MiTo has received top marks in tests of active and passive safety and it is one of the safest cars on the market, as demonstrated by the five stars it got in the Euro NCAP test.
