2011 5 Door Alfa Romeo MiTo model

The facelift for the Alfa Romeo MiTo model, scheduled for 2013, will bring with him a new platform and a five-door body.

Although the current MiTo was praised for the nonconformist design and for his sporty lines, Alfa Romeo already dreams of a facelift to correct the small errors highlighted by the critics and customers. But it seems that the facelift will bring with him the first derived of the MiTo range, a five-door version, that is likely to look like his bigger brother Giulietta.

The facelift and the new body version are expected to drop in 2013, enough time for theItalians to adapt the model to a new platform. As many probably sensed, the facelift will bring for MiTo a new platform, borrowed from the future generation of the concern brother, Fiat Punto. With this ocasion, Alfa Romeo could change the dynamic lines of the subcompact model, intensely criticized by the specialists.

The development of the facelift on an new platform will have a good impact on the global sales. More precisely, MiTo then could be sold on the US market where the safty regulations are harsher than in Europe. The launching of MiTo on the North Americanmarket will be made with the mid-size sedan Giulietta and a future SUV.
