Tråd: 2014 Mini Cooper første kørsel anmeldelse

Tredje generation Mini er større og bedre i enhver henseende. Ny tre-cylinder benzinmotor er en absolut belter, for, som vi opdager på vejen. 2014 Mini Cooper, og en af de mest ventede biler i år hidtil. Det er første gang, Mini har lade nogen uden for virksomheden prøve den nye tre-dørs hatchback på offentlige veje, og det har en chance vi har ventet på siden wraps først kom ud af tredje generation model i November. Bestemt, fra LUN rammerne af valgfri sport sæder, det er svært at argumentere for, at den nye Cooper er alt andet end et stort skridt fremad. Bag sin fornemme multifunktions rat – selv del af en væsentlig nytænkning af kraterets – køreoplevelsen er welcomingly bekendt. Men der er også en nyfunden modenhed og sans for kvalitet, der gør bilen endnu mere behageligt at være i og en god del mere givende at køre. Den Turboladet 1. 5-liters tre-cylindrede benzin enhed er et af fire helt nye, in-House udviklede tvunget induktion tre og fire-cylinder motorer, der vil finde deres vej ind i den nye Mini. Det er en absolut belter, der tjener op slags ydeevne og brugervenlighed sin relativt konservative udgangseffekt undlader at formidle på papir. Som monteret her, producerer den 134bhp på 4500 rpm og 162lb ft på bare 1250 rpm. Lanceringen sortiment indeholder også en 94bhp 1. 5-liter tre-cylindret diesel plus en 189bhp 2. 0-liters fire-cylinder benzinmotor i Cooper S, hvor sidstnævnte er den eneste enhed på lanceringen til stigning i kapaciteten.

Third-generation Mini is bigger and better in every respect. New three-cylinder petrol engine is an absolute belter, too, as we discover on the road. The 2014 Mini Cooper, and one of the most anticipated cars of the year so far. This is the first time Mini has let anyone outside of the company try the new three-door hatchback on public roads, and its a chance weve been waiting for since the wraps first came off the third-generation model in November. Certainly, from the snug confines of the optional sport seats, it is hard to argue that the new Cooper is anything but a huge step forward. From behind its classy multi-function steering wheel – itself part of a significant rethink of the interior – the driving experience is welcomingly familiar. But there is also a newfound maturity and sense of quality that makes the car even more pleasant to be in and a good deal more rewarding to drive. The turbocharged 1. 5-litre three-cylinder petrol unit is one of four all-new, in-house-developed forced-induction three and four-cylinder engines that will find their way into the new Mini. It is an absolute belter, serving up the sort of performance and user-friendliness its relatively conservative power output fails to convey on paper. As fitted here, it produces 134bhp at 4500rpm and 162lb ft at just 1250rpm. The launch range also includes a 94bhp 1. 5-litre three-cylinder diesel plus a 189bhp 2. 0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine in the Cooper S, the latter being the only unit at launch to increase in capacity.
