MPG Data on new start/stop Minis
If a car is such a mild hybrid that all it does is start/stop, does it qualify as a hybrid? I don't even know if they're going to try to market it as a hybrid, but if so, I actually might not be buying a hybrid for my next car if they import the diesel version to CA:
From: http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/07...from-nov-10th/ MINI Cooper S Clubman Powered by a 1.6 litre four-cylinder petrol engine with direct injection and a twin-scroll turbocharger complete with intercooler. Response time when accelerating is virtually instantaneous due to separating the channels of two cylinders each into exhaust manifold and turbocharger. This reduces the exhaust back pressure and plays a major role in ensuring that the charging effect of the turbocharger kicks in at just 1600rpm. Maximum output is 175hp at an engine speed of 5,500 rpm. Maximum torque: 240Nm at 1600-5000 rpm (260Nm with Overboost) Top speed mph: 139 Acceleration 0-62mph: 7.6 seconds Fuel consumption combined mpg: 44.8 CO2 emissions EU g/km: 150 MINI Cooper Clubman The 1.6 litre four-cylinder, naturally-aspirated engine features fully variable valve management based on BMW Group's VALVETRONIC technology. This improves the engine's response and refinement, as well as the all-round efficiency of the power unit. Maximum output is 120hp at 6000 rpm. Maximum torque: 160Nm at 4250 rpm Top speed mph: 125 Acceleration 0-62mph: 9.8 seconds Fuel consumption combined mpg: 51.4 CO2 emissions EU g/km: 132 MINI Cooper D Clubman Four-cylinder turbo diesel with common-rail fuel injection and variable turbine geometry ensures optimum smoothness, efficiency and response even at low speeds. A diesel particulate filter almost eliminates diesel exhaust emissions and helps to make the MINI diesel engine one of the most environmentally friendly cars available. It develops maximum output of 110hp at 4000 rpm. Maximum torque: 240Nm at 1750-2000 rpm (260Nm with Overboost) Top speed mph: 120 Acceleration 0-62mph: 10.4 seconds Fuel consumption combined mpg: 68.9 CO2 emissions EU g/km: 109 |
Re: MPG Data on new start/stop Minis
I think it's been reported heer (and elsewhere) that this is NOT coming to the US (let alone CA). Sorry. But I still HOPE that they make it over here - someday.
I'd be interested in one also :( |
Re: MPG Data on new start/stop Minis
'tis true, the Mini Dealer in North Hollywood said it wasn't coming to the US.
