Mini Cooper SD (2014): 104g/km CO2 with 0-62mph in 7.2sec

By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 10 June 2014 10:07 Mini confirmed the Cooper SD was coming when it unveiled the new-for-2014, five-door maxi Mini last week. But now it has issued the full spec and details of the Cooper SD and the entry-level Mini One First.
