New MINI teased again ahead of next week’s reveal (video)
Mon, 11 Nov 2013The new MINI is being teased again ahead of its debut
The all new MINI for 2014 is due to be revealed next week on the anniversary of the birth of its creator, Sir Alec Issigonis, and MINI are squeezing in another tease for their new baby ahead of its official debut. We’ve already had a couple of teases from MINI in the run up to the reveal – including a good look at the new MINI with the MINI Vision Concept – so we’ve got a good ideas of what’s in store for MINI buyers.
What we get this time is plenty of moody shots in low light of the new MINI’s features to keep the interest going, although much of the DNA of BMW’s MINI are carried forward from the current MINI.
What the new MINI does get is a new platform which will also be shared with future FWD BMWs and plenty of new tech including an active bonnet to mitigate pedestrian injuries and a heads-up display for the driver.
We also know the new MINI will get a choice of engines including a 1.5 litre petrol with 134bhp and a 2.0 litre petrol with 189bhp for the Cooper S (and a fettled 220bhp version for the JCW) plus a new 1.5 litre diesel with 114bhp as well as new transmissions.
The all new MINI will debut on 18th November.
