Next-gen Mini Hatch spotted with – shock, horror – internal combustion engine ⛽️
. Perhaps Mini is using this to differentiate its crossover SUV range from the more conventional line-up.
You’ll also note the old-school door handles, which are similar to the present Mini hatch and different to the fared-in pop-out items spotted on next-gen Mini EV prototypes.Yes, you’ve clocked that all three Mini prototypes pictured here are three-door models – so at least one carmaker is sticking with that format for now.
We’re still expecting a five-door version of the new Mini, but we’ve got to say those three-door lines do look good.Absolutely. While rivals – such as Smart – are surging ahead into an EV-only future, Mini is hedging its bets a bit by continuing to offer petrol power as an option for those less forward-looking or simply unable to deal with the current realities of electric-only life.
It’s unclear at this stage exactly what engines Mini will be fitting, but mild-hybrid assistance is a certainty, and Mini Cooper and faster Mini Cooper S variants are likely to launch the new range when it finally appears in production form.The next-generation Mini Cooper and Cooper S are expected to be revealed in 2023 – and should go on sale that year, parts supply and war in Europe permitting.
