Everything's new - and once again typical of MINI all the way: After more than
800,000 units sold, the MINI will soon be entering the market in thoroughly
enhanced design and with fundamentally new features.
The second model generation of today's modern MINI is making its debut with
brand-new power units, a carefully but thoroughly upgraded interior, and
evolutionary body design with appropriate modifications wherever required.
Indeed, all these innovations underline the individual character and premium
standard of the MINI. And while each and every detail has been changed or
modified, the new model naturally retains all the proven and unmistakable
features of the MINI clearly recognisable at very first sight. This applies
both to the silhouette of this compact two-door immediately recognisable from
every angle and to the car's equally unique and agile driving characteristics.
The power units and transmissions, suspension and steering, brakes and safety
systems are all brand-new developments from the ground up.
And all these features serve to give the new MINI that legendary go-kart
feeling right from the start - but now with an even higher standard of agility
than before. This, quite literally, is MINI at its best - both in design and
handling.
The new MINI is entering the market in the guise of the MINI Cooper (88 kW/120
hp) and MINI Cooper S (128 kW/175 hp), with the MINI One "basic" version
following somewhat later. And once again, the new MINI will also be available
with a turbodiesel offering a particularly high standard of all-round economy
in the drivetrain.
