Actually, it was the introduction of the third generation MINI later today planned, but there are always media that embargotijden not understand. So here goes: the new, driedeurs MINI, for which we have a foretaste in the form of the Vision Concept.
The appearance you will be very familiar to you: on 1 July we published spyshots of a fully ongecamoufleerde orange MINI. This is evident, onverrassend, indeed the introductiekleur.
Upsizing
In a time when everyone will have engines considerably reduces, throws MINI a significantly heavier block in the topmotorisering. Very individualistic.
Since BMW and PSA to end their motorensamewerking is the old 1.6 four-cylinder from gewipt. You would expect that the Cooper S was a potent 1.5 liter driepitter, but no, instead, home to BMW’s 2-litre four-cylinder under the hood, with a power of 192 horsepower, and a healthy dose of torque. The ” old ” Cooper S had 184 hp. The 0-100 sprint is going to be a half a beat rapper; 6,7 sec instead of 7.2 sec.
Than the basic Cooper: the old atmospheric 1.6 (122 hp) cleans up the field for the aforementioned 1.5 three-cylinder. This delivers 136 hp and a little more power, but the sprinttijd goes with leaps and bounds. 0-100 comes in at 7.8 seconds, where the old 1.6 still 9,1 count is needed.
By default, the MINI is a manual zesbak, a six-speed automatic transmission is optional. Another piece of BMW integration is the Driving Experience Control, which is in a slightly different package in the MINI debuts: here, the driver three modes, including Green mode, the mirror image of Eco Pro.
A diesel and JCW will follow later.
Grown
MINI let his name stand in the way of again, a growth spurt: the third-generation MINI is 98mm longer, 44mm wider and 7mm higher, although he has a very recognizable appearance. For the first time, the owner can opt for adaptive LED lighting, and new assistance systems such as intelligent networking (with heul a lot of apps), a head-up display, videogebaseerd speed and distance control which automatically keep a safe distance to the vehicle in front, retains, and also reads the new MINI signs for you. Had Hammond and Clarkson that had…
Unfortunately, that reference to the production at Nedcar in Born is missing? Had so great. But nonetheless: a gallery of Mini’s latest. You’ll find ‘m here. What do you guys think?
