MINI brand
[1]MINI One D – thrifty and nifty. The MINI One D
combines the economic efficiency of a modern
diesel engine with the typical design and go-kart-like
handling of a MINI. Thus, the MINI One D appeals
to a new group of customers, attracting, in particular,
individuals who plays special importance on rational
advantages, such as low operating costs, but do not
want to forego the fun of driving which is typical of all
models of the MINI brand.
The MINI One D accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h
in 13.5 seconds and achieves a top speed of
165km/h in sixth gear.
The lightweight, all-aluminium engine is com-
pelling because of its running smoothness, low
noise levels, fuel economy and low emissions. The
compact 4-cylinder, 1.4-litre power unit develops
an output of 55 kW/75 bhp. Maximum torque of
180 Nm, achieved at only 2,000 rpm, translates
into ample pulling power. Standard Stability and trac-
tion control ASC+Tmakes sure that this powerful
diesel is always able to build up full traction without
the wheels spinning, leaving the driver firmly in
control of his car. The direct injection diesel engine
features second-generation common rail tech-
nology with turbocharger and intercooler. Engine
noise inside the cabin barely differs from that of a
petrol-driven model.
Fuel consumption averages 4.8 litres in the EU
combined cycle, corresponding to CO2emissions
of only129 g/km. Depending on driving style and
conditions, a MINI One D may travel up to 1,000 kilo-
metres on a single tankful of 50 litres.
[2]MINI Convertible – a little closer to heaven.
Whether open or closed, the MINI Convertible is a
full four-seater and unmistakably a pure-blooded
MINI. The top’s fully automatic operation comes
as standard and does not necessitate any manual
unlocking. As the folding roof slides back, the roof
posts are retracted and the rear side windows
lowered, all automatically. Thanks to the complex
but space-saving Z-fold, the soft top disappears
behind the rear seats, eliminating the need for a
cover.
