BMW MINI as a German-British mixed race, how did it enter the public eye? MINI was born in 1959, breaking into that restless '60s. The whole of Europe was full of passion, and the quotations of Chairman Mao were held high and thirsty. "Don't go to war, go crazy DO I". Hippies all over the street, lying flat denial. The cultural iteration that swept across Europe, MINI is stepping on this one!
MINI first came from Britain, when even if BMW took over, it would not move the factory to reduce costs, because the factory was close to Oxford University, which was where the new cultural and new ideas of young people were most active. Slowly driven by the rebellious consciousness of young people, the MINI became a small noble car, which was not owned by anyone, only by the upper class at that time. For example, the goddess Madonna, the Beatles, David Bowie are all loyal users. At this moment, MINI transcends practical value and becomes an aesthetic feeling. And in terms of sports, it won more than 25 rally titles in the 60s, adding a sports label to the fashion label.
Today, the spy photos of the new BMW MINI COUNTRYMAN S in the Road Test of Nürburg Lindseria in Germany were exposed, and the fuel port of the test car was pasted with a sticker of No. 98 gasoline. As can be seen in the spy photos, the car uses a bilateral four-out exhaust system.
In terms of appearance, although heavily camouflaged, it can not hide the MINI's classic wheels, typical round light design, a new shape of the grille, bumpers have also been upgraded, and equipped with hidden door handles, the body side lines extend as far back as possible, and the straight roof extends to the rear to form a huge spoiler. The short rear suspension design and traditional SUV models are very different, showing their high-performance identity and strong sporty feel.
In terms of interior, the new car will be equipped with a more technologically powerful circular central control screen, the content information system will also be upgraded, and the control button below will still adopt THE CLASSIC AIRCRAFT LEVER design.
In terms of power, according to relevant reports, the new MINI COUNTRYMAN will be based on the FAR platform like X1, equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a power of up to 235KW, the transmission system is matched with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, matching the four-wheel drive system, and surpassing the Audi Q3 top-mounted model and Mercedes-Benz GLB AMG in terms of performance, and it is expected that the new car will be officially launched next year.
