Mini reveals tech details for new 2013 Mini Cooper

By Ollie Kew Motor Industry 29 September 2013 23:01 Mini has announced that the imminent replacement for the current model will sport an all-new range of three- and four-cylinder engines, adaptive suspension, and marry chuckable handling with better comfort and refinement. The Mini Vision concept (pictured) shows what the new car will look like when it arrives in November 2013. There are some big promises here, but can the Mini maintain its runaway popularity a more than decade after BMW revived the brand and created a whole new class of posh, premium-priced city cars? Read on for more details. What’s been said about the new Mini Cooper’s engines?

Citroen DS3 Cabrio DStyle by Benefit is the latest DS 3 Special Edition – costs £18,745

The Citroen DS3 Cabrio DStyle by Benefit We have to assume that Citroen see the DS3 Cabrio as a proper ‘Girly’ car as they’ve teamed up with Benefit Cosmetics to create a Special edition DS3 Cabrio inspired by their Stay Flawless Primer - the Citroen DS3 Cabrio DStyle by Benefit. With that in mind, you won’t be shocked to learn that the DS3 Cabrio by Benefit is all about the looks, and there’s nothing new going on under the skin, just the VT1 120 1.6 litre petrol engine with a five-speed manual gearbox good for 0-62mph in 9.9 seconds. Those tweaks to the looks of the DS3 Cabrio include a Polar White paint job with a black fabric folding roof and Fuchsia Pink for the door mirrors and alloy centres, with Benefit’s ‘Gabbi’s Head’ logo on the B-Pillars and on a Fuchsia Pink badge at the back.

Ssangyong KEV2

Continuing Ssangyong's revival is another new car from the Korean company, the KEV2. Unveiled at the Seoul Motor Show, the KEV2 is an electric version of the company's outgoing Korando model. However, in the pursuit of diversifying the aesthetic between drivetrains, the KEV2 features a new DRG that sees the conventional grille lost and more aggressive, taught LED headlights replace the existing lamps.
