Without actually showing us any horrible 15-inch wheels or boring paint, MINI today told us a little bit about the new One D and its engine.
Just like the Cooper D, the One diesel-burner switched from a 1.6-cylinder to a three-pot 1.5 from BMW's modular family of engines. The unit features turbo charging with variable turbine geometry and common rail direct injection, basically a standard diesel like any other.
Peak power of 95 hp comes in at 4,000rpm, while the torque figure of 220 Nm is available way down low in the rev range. You aren't going to win any races with this car, but at least the economy is good. Average fuel consumption is a very impressive 3.4 to 3.5 l/100km, with CO2 emissions as low as 89 grams. This is an economy car to say the least.
