Alfa Romeo MiTo in Australia from July

posted: Wednesday 13 May 2009 by Alison in: Alfa Romeo Hatchbacks

This is good news for the Australian Alfa offering and I was waiting to see if it would happen after the MiTo was confirmed for the US market. The Alfa Romeo MiTo will appear down under starting from July, offered with just the 1.4 litre turbo at 120 or 155 hp. No diesel will be offered to maintain its sports identity.

The two units will be matched to a six-speed manual gear change, an interesting choice in a market used to automatic transmission, to guarantee the performance and driving pleasure of the MiTo. According to Alfa, Australian customers will be surprised. The MiTo pricing for Australia is currently unknown, though apparently this will also be a pleasant surprise. Next step, America.
