With the market
launch of the new MINI F56 in March 2014, the British automaker begins
refreshing its line up. The classic three-door hatchback will be followed by
the F55 five-door, F54 Clubman, and the
F57 Convertible.
An F55 prototype was spied on the tarmac in Amsterdam most
likely bound for an overseas flight. The F55 five-door retains the short rear
doors which offer convenient use of the back seat as a storage area or for
passenger use.
The
market launch for the Clubman will most likely occur this fall-->
Technically, the
five-door variant of the F56 is hardly different from the three-door,
although some sources speak of a marginally longer wheelbase – thanks to the
flexible BMW UKL platform. While the MINI F56 has typical
British-upright-standing lights with thick chrome border, the F54 MINI Clubman
could come in 2015 with transverse rear lights, as seen in the rendering below.
The Clubman has larger proportions, similar to the Countryman which allows for
2+3 style seating.
Heart of the drive
are the new BMW three-cylinder engines with turbocharging, which come in
Cooper and Cooper D models. Only the MINI Cooper S and the following John
Cooper Works and Cooper SD will continue to focus on four-cylinder engines.
In addition to the fuel-efficient engines, the new MINI also
offers ultra-modern assistance systems and infotainment package that ranges
from the Head-Up Display to the Parking
Assistant and Active Cruise Control with automatic distance regulatio
