Munich. Numerous new features in the area of drive
technology enhance driving fun as well as reducing emissions in the
current MINI models as of summer 2018. Emission control in all
petrol-engine variants of the MINI 3 door, MINI 5 door and MINI
Convertible as well as the MINI Clubman and MINI Countryman will
include a particulate filter as of July 2018. The models of the
British premium brand with this feature meet the particularly rigorous
requirements of the Euro 6d-TEMP emission standard. This demonstrates
how MINI consistently continues to pursue the optimisation of
emissions in its current models. The diesel engine variants of the
MINI Clubman and MINI Countryman have met the Euro 6d-TEMP standard
since March 2018. Their emission control system includes not just a
diesel particulate filter and an NOX storage catalytic
converter but also an SCR catalytic converter which features a special
urea injection (AdBlue) for highly effective reduction of nitrogen
oxide emissions.
In addition, the relevant model variants of
the MINI Clubman and MINI Countryman will be fitted with enhanced
petrol engines as of July 2018. Here, optimised MINI TwinPower Turbo
Technology especially benefits fuel consumption and emission levels.
As an alternative to the standard manual transmission, the petrol
engine models of the MINI Clubman and MINI Countryman will be
available with a 7-speed Steptronic transmission in future.
Thrilling shift dynamics, a high level of comfort, optimised
convenience:
7-speed Steptronic transmission with double
clutch.
Fast gear changes and a high level of internal
efficiency are the properties of the 7-speed Steptronic transmission
with double clutch available as an option for further variants of the
successful MINI models in the premium compact segment from July 2018
onwards. The use of two clutches when changing gear enables
particularly sporty acceleration without torque interrupt. In addition
to enhanced driving fun, the design principle adapted from motor
racing also has all the comfort features of an automatic transmission.
It ensures harmonious and acoustically barely perceptible changes in
drive position, free of load change reactions in the engine – not just
when sprinting but also when decelerating. The 7-speed Steptronic
transmission with double clutch also enables use of the auto
start/stop function and the coasting function to increase efficiency.
Furthermore, the transmission control is networked with the navigation
system if the vehicle is fitted with one. In this way, navigation data
can be used to adapt the choice of gear perfectly to the route.
Operation of the 7-speed Steptronic transmission with double clutch is
by means of an electronic gear selector switch. This transmits the
driver's instructions by means of electrical impulses to the
transmission control.
From July 2018 onwards, the 7-speed Steptronic transmission with
double clutch is also available as an option in combination with the
enhanced petrol engines for the MINI Clubman and the MINI Countryman.
The efficiency-optimised petrol engines fitted as standard with a
particulate filter meet the requirements of the Euro 6d-TEMP emission
standard. With the 7-speed Steptronic transmission, the combined fuel
consumption figure for the MINI One Clubman and the
MINI Cooper Clubman is now 5.7 litres per 100 kilometres in each case
(CO2 level: 130 g/km). The figures for the
MINI Cooper S Clubman are 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres and 133 g/km.
The combined fuel consumption and the CO2 emissions level
of the MINI One Countryman with 7-speed Steptronic transmission are
5.9 litres per 100 kilometres and 135 – 134 g/km. For the
MINI Cooper Countryman the figures are 5.9 to 5.8 litres per 100
kilometres and 134 – 132 g/km). The corresponding figures measured in
the MINI Cooper S Countryman are 6.0 litres and 138 – 136 g/km
(figures depend on the tyre format selected). All fuel consumption and
emissions figures were arrived at using the new WLTP measuring
procedure and then adapted to NEDC for comparison purposes by means of correlation.
Even faster gear changes are enabled by the 7-speed Steptronic
sports transmission, available as an additional option for the MINI
Cooper S Clubman and the MINI Cooper S Countryman. Shift paddles are
available at the steering wheel in this version of the automatic
transmission for manual intervention in the choice of drive position.
As standard in the MINI Clubman and the MINI Countryman:
automatic driving lights control.
An addition to the
standard range of fittings for the MINI Clubman and the MINI
Countryman from summer 2018 serves to enhance both comfort and safety.
In future, the two MINI models in the premium compact segment will be
fitted with automatic driving lights control as standard. This
function ensures needs-oriented activation and deactivation of the
headlights and rear lights depending on the light conditions in the
environment of the vehicle. For this purpose, the driving light switch
in both models can be turned to an additional position from July 2018:
it is marked by a graphic symbol containing the letter "A".
When using the automatic driving lights system, the lights are not
only activated at night but also when dusk is falling and when
visibility is poor due to the weather conditions, as well as when
passing through tunnels or in dark multi-storey car parks.
