BMW unwrap the new 2014 Mini Cooper. The car has been rated
from 13,500 pounds onwards and will go keen on production, by next week, at
their ability in Oxford. The Cooper D, Cooper and Cooper S models would be
first three models beginning the series to go on sale.
The launch of the three-door tailgate took place at the Mini's
manufacture plant in Cowley, Oxford, on the 107th anniversary of the origin of
the Mini's founding father Alex Issigonis.
This model has already been seen almost recognized in a sequence
of spy shots, as both standard and hotter Cooper versions have been caught tested
in North America and Europe. Similar to all other cars from the BMW stable,
this car is excessively big on styling. Then there is a latest design, a major series
of three and four-cylinder engines and a more hi-tech kit as well. The new
range is going to be displayed in a while this week at the Los Angeles and
Tokyo motor shows, will maintain to include a basic MINI One, mid-range MINI
Cooper and MINI Cooper D diesel, and a top MINI Cooper S version.
The all-latest Mini is based on BMW's new front and
all-wheel-drive UKL1 platform, which will strengthen 10 extras of the Mini and
some BMWs. It is the largest Mini with dimensions are 98mm longer, 44mm wider,
sites 7mm higher and sits on 15-inch alloys. The extending wheelbase means more
permanence and superior performance on the corners, and more passenger room and
a larger, 211-litre boot. It is also attractive much the similar weight, even
with the enlarge in size.
In terms of engines, all the latest 1.5-litre three-cylinder
units will lash out the range, with a turbocharged 136bhp edition powering the
Cooper. The three-cylinder engines all are aluminum, with straight fuel inoculation
and are keen up to a latest six-speed manual gearbox, which has automatic choke
blipping among down changes. A 2.0-litre four-cylinder unit, for now, develops
189bhp. The only diesel engine inveterate so far is a 1.5-litre common-rail
direct-injection unit with 114bhp. Manual and automatic gearboxes options are
offered in both petrol and diesel engine, with stop and start functionality.
In technology terms, the new MINI 2014 gets topmost
displays, which include driving speed, instructions of navigation and the present
speed limit. Collision and pedestrian warning system will also be included with
an automatic braking function at lesser speeds. This used by a
windscreen-mounted camera to identify danger in advance, sounds an advice and
then can stop the car if needed to avoid a crash. Another new technology for
the new MINI contains a reversing camera and parking help, and also the
headlights will use the front-mounted camera to see nearing traffic and
automatically plunge from the main beams. While using the cruise control this
camera can also be use to keep a safe distance from the car which comes ahead.
To increase ride comfort and daily usability, for the first time adaptive
dampers will be offered. Two settings – Sport and Comfort, access at the flip
of a switch – will suggest a sharper drive or a more peaceful ride.
MINI buyers get a bit more ordinary kit for their money,
though, such as keyless go, isofix seats in the front and rear, and Bluetooth.
And also, there is lots of scope for personalization, with a list of options with
a John Cooper Works spoiler, contrasting mirrors and a set of roof rails for
the first time.
Expect that BMW new MINI will reach India by the end of next
year via CBU route and will be cost considerably higher than the present
line-up.
