The Third Generation Arrives Swiftly
At the MINI booth, the third-generationNew MINIwas elegantly unveiled.The design maintains the traditional proportions, consciously evoking the classic, but the body is now a size larger. This extends the wheelbase, enhancing both cornering agility and ride comfort. Furthermore, it allows for increased interior space and luggage capacity.
The Cooper S and Cooper grades were displayed. The powertrain has also been revamped, adopting a 192ps 2.0-liter inline-4 turbo and a newly developed 136ps 1.5-liter inline-3 turbo engine. A 6-speed manual and automatic transmission are available. The interior design has also undergone significant changes; the distinctive center-mounted speedometer has been abolished, replaced by a meter panel with the speedometer integrated into the steering column.
Pricing has not yet been announced. " title="01_mini_cooper_s" data-src="/galleries/images/000/172/808/medium/a4c6fba5-de36-4cb8-9bab-599af9ad49c2.jpg">
