Mini Crossman (2010)

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 11 January 2008 11:05

Under all that weird metalwork is the new Crossman, a name recently let slip by a Mini official. This is Mini’s new SUV, or rather SAV as the Brit-based company prefers to think of its latest car as a sports activity vehicle. In other words it won’t be a mud plugger. The car in our pictures is a chassis mule allowing ...

Mini's SAV scooped (2010)

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Whitworth, 05 December 2007 10:00

Little and large, heh? Yes, quite. We’ve caught Mini’s upcoming SAV – that’s Sports Activity Vehicle for those of you on the lookout for pointless automotive acronyms – undergoing tests well before its 2009 debut. And being handily caught next to an X5 at these traffic lights in Munich shows just how squat and chunky Mini’s soft-roader will be. Although ...

Mini SUV (2010)

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 02 November 2007 10:03

A Mini off-roader, you say? This looks like a Clubman on tip-toes! This prototype is based on the Clubman, but if you look closely you'll spot a few telltale signs that this is the four-wheel drive version under development in Munich. The single biggest indication is the raised ride height, which lifts the 4x4 up to give the impression that ...

Mini Clubman (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 07 September 2007 12:01

The new Mini Clubman: one weird-looking car It sure is. Devoted fans of all things Mini – and there have been more than a million buyers since BMW first unleashed its lesson in retro pastiche in July 2001 – may find it the coolest thing since having an RAF symbol on their roof, but many neutral observers will find the ...

Mini stop-start (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 03 September 2007 03:15

Stop-start? Is the Mini doing a little bit of Prius copying? Sort of. Stop-start systems are nothing new (manufacturers have been experimenting for decades) but they certainly have been made fashionable by the hybrid gang, led by the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic Hybrid. It's a simple premise: when stationary, there's no need for thirsty petrol engines to be running. ...

Mini Cooper S gains stop-start (2007) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Eco hatch Stop-start? Is the Mini doing a little bit of Prius copying? Sort of.

John Cooper Mini Works Challenge (2007): first official pictures

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Whitworth, 15 August 2007 10:05

Now this looks seriously cool... Doesn’t it just. Mini has hooked up John Cooper Works to create the Challenge – a bespoke racing Mini developed for Mini’s one-maker race series. Due for a public unveiling at the upcoming Frankfurt motorshow, the track-prepped Cooper S-based Mini will cost £38,000 and gets a major motorsport overhaul. A redesigned twin-scroll turbocharger and modifications ...

Mini Clubman (2007): first official pictures

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 27 July 2007 11:48

Bloody hell. What have they done to the Mini? That was pretty much CAR Online’s reaction when we first saw this picture. This is the new Mini Clubman and although we’ve been snapping prototypes testing around the world for a few years, the official photos are still a bit of a shock. The Clubman will look like nothing else on ...

Hybrids 'just a stepping stone'

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 13 June 2007 11:13

The chairman of Bosch's automotive group - the world's biggest supplier to the car industry - today crushed any hope that hybrids could become a major tool to cut CO2 emissions in Europe. Dr Bernd Bohr told CAR Online that even by 2015, fewer than 5 percent of all new cars sold in Europe will be hybrids. 'We are talking ...

The Mini that's cleaner than hybrids

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 03 June 2007 02:33

Minis clean up Mini today announced it will fit many of the Efficient Dynamics tech already seen on the 1-series to all new hatchbacks fitted with the new PSA engines. The result? A Cooper D will now emit just 104g/km of CO2 - matching the signficantly more expensive Toyota Prius. And average fuel consumption on the diesel climbs to 72.4mpg ...
