Power and torque are unchanged from the super-smooth V6 are unchanged at 205bhp and 252Nm, but combined
cycle fuel consumption improves from 31.7 to 33.6 mpg, with a concurrent fall in CO2 output from 209 to 194g / km.
Not exact matches
Fuel consumption improves by 10 per cent on the combined
cycle and CO2 emissions fall from 388 to 347 g / km as a consequence.
• New generation of engines with MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology; three model variants available as of market launch: MINI Cooper with 100 kW / 136 bhp 3 - cylinder engine, MINI Cooper S with 141 kW / 192 bhp 4 - cylinder petrol engine and MINI Cooper D with 3 - cylinder diesel engine (85 kW / 116 bhp); expansion of the model program to include the entry - level variants MINI One D (3 - cylinder diesel engine, 70 kW / 95 bhp) and MINI One (3 - cylinder spark - ignition engine, 75 kW / 102 bhp); 6 - speed manual transmission as standard, with optional 6 - speed automatic transmission or sports automatic transmission, also newly developed; extensive MINIMALISM technology including automatic engine start / stop function likewise in conjunction with automatic transmission and optional GREEN mode;
improved driving performance figures and reduced
fuel consumption; biggest efficiency advance in the MINI Cooper with automatic transmission: acceleration from zero to 100 km / h 2.6 seconds faster, average
fuel consumption 27 per cent lower; lowest
fuel consumption and CO2 levels in the MINI Cooper D: 3.5 — 3.6 litres / 100 km, 92 — 95 g / km (EU test
cycle figures, dependent on tyre format selected).
Improved efficiency is reflected in combined -
cycle fuel consumption of 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres and CO2 emissions of 137 grams per kilometre.
When equipped with the manual transmission and Stop & Start technology, the
improved 1.4 D - 4D 90 unit returns a combined
cycle fuel consumption of 3.8 l / 100 km and generates CO2 emissions of only 99 g / km - a reduction of 0.6 l / 100 km and 10 g / km.
With new
fuel - saving features such as automatic stop / start and brake - energy recuperation, average
fuel consumption has
improved by 6.2 mpg, to 22.0 mpg on the European test
cycle.
Improved efficiency is reflected in combined -
cycle fuel consumption of 5.8 to 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres and CO2 emissions of 134 to 137 grams per kilometre (EU test figures, variations due to differences in the tyres fitted).
In the European combined driving
cycle, the gasoline direct injection system
improves fuel consumption by 10 % over the counterpart V6 gasoline engine with port injection and fully variable valve timing.
Top speed continues to be limited to 155 mph, but with a range of new
fuel saving features, including an electro - mechanical steering system in place of the older hydraulically operated setup used before, combined
cycle consumption has
improved by 5.4 mpg at an official 24.2 mpg on the European test
cycle.
New drivetrains and lighter weight have markedly
improved combined -
cycle fuel consumption figures, without detriment to performance.
Fossil
fuel consumption rates will slowly diminish over the coming decades as fossil
fuels are gradually depleted, and the resultant atmospheric and oceanic CO2 is predicted by IPCC modelers to END glaciation
cycles and thus, to open much of Canada and Siberia to greatly
improved agriculture and forestry.
