MINI announces SD lineup

After months of speculation, MINI has officially introduced the new SD lineup.

Available this spring, the SDs feature a 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel engine with 143 PS (105 kW / 141 hp) and 305 Nm (225 lb-ft) of torque. It allows the Cooper to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 8.1 seconds and hit a top speed of 215 km/h (134 mph). Furthermore, the car consumes an average of 4.3L/100km (65.7 mpg imp) and emits 114 g/km.

In the Cooper SD Clubman, the dash from 0-100 km/h takes 8.6 seconds and the top speed is 215 km/h (134 mph). Thankfully, it only consumes 4.4 L/100km (64.2 mpg imp) and has CO2 emissions of 115 g/km.

Owners of the SD Convertible can run from 0-100 km/h in 8.7 seconds and a hit maximum speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). While doing this, they can average 4.5 L/100km (62.8 mpg imp) and emit 118 g/km.

In the SD Countryman, 0 to 100 km/h takes 9.3 seconds and the top speed is 198 km/h (123 mph). Emissions come in at 122 g/km, while the average fuel consumption is 4.6 L/100km.

Opting for the SD Countryman ALL4 reduces performance as the dash to 100 km/h is a tenth of a second longer and the top speed declines to 195 km/h (121 mph). Despite this, fuel consumption is still respectable at 4.9 L/100km with C02 emissions of 130 g/km.

Regardless of what body style is selected, the diesel engine is connected to a new six-speed manual transmission or an optional six-speed automatic.
