Alfa Romeo MiTo is a three-door sports hatchback, produced since 2008, the smallest car in the manufacturer model range. Since its release, it is very popular and has won several European awards. When passing the Euro NCAP crash test in 2008 Alfa Romeo MiTo has received the highest rating - five stars.

Creation of Alfa Romeo MiTo took place in difficult conditions for the manufacturer: with the company’s financial difficulties it was necessary to regain the consumers' favour. At that time there was a development of two urban hatchbacks - updated Alfa Romeo Giulietta and another car, with the working name Junior, which seemed not entirely appropriate. As a result of the announced contest for the new model best name, a name Furiosa has won, but it was absolutely not in line with the car's exterior. Therefore,at the Motor Show in London 2008, the company demonstrated the new product under the name Alfa Romeo MiTo (an abbreviation of the names of two cities: Milan developed auto design, and its production was established in Turin).

Use of platform Small, the base of the Fiat Grande Punto, significantly reduced the cost of car design. In developing the design of Alfa Romeo MiTo's designers were inspired by another vehicle from the manufacturer lineup - Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, the similarities existed in the design of LED lights, the convex shape of the grille, a powerful front bumper with large air intakes.

As for the internal space of Alfa Romeo MiTo, the greatest comfort is provided for the driver and front passenger: comfortable seats have lateral support; passengers in the rear seats are cramped. The center console has a stepped form: on the upper level there is a sound system, on the lower - climate control unit. Trimming materials are expensive, even in the basic configuration. Much attention is paid to the safety of passengers: Alfa Romeo MiTo cars are equipped with seven airbags, two of which are Multistage, and with seat belt two-phase pre-tensioners.

In 2013, among the new products at the Frankfurt Motor Show an updated Alfa Romeo MiTo was presented. The car exterior changed slightly: developed five years ago, the design was very successful. The grille received chrome frame, headlamps got polished bezel, and another color was added to the existing 10 body color options. The main innovation of the interior has become a cutting-edge multimedia system Uconnect with a five-inch touchscreen.

Alfa Romeo MiTo cars are available in five trim levels (Impression, Progression, Distinctive, Superbike and Quadrifoglio Verde), which offer three option packages - Sport, Comfort and Lusso.
