MINI Cooper
近日由英國汽車媒體Auto Express所票選的2014年度新車大獎以及各級距獎項出爐,而視為最大殊榮的「Car of the Year」年度風雲車,則由去年在MINI之父Alec Issigonis的107歲冥誕之日(11月18日)於英國牛津廠區首演的新世代MINI雀屏中選。

「Supermini Car of the Year」FORD Fiesta
「Crossover of the Year」NISSAN Qashqai
就如同各代車型不斷放大,新世代MINI也如預期地放大不少,Cooper具備3821×1727×1414mm,而Cooper S為3850×1727×1414mm,軸距同為2495mm,整合式LED頭燈與放大不少的水箱罩乃一大特色,兩車型外觀上依舊區隔清楚,Cooper延續可愛又復古、Cooper S則是多了點性能味。

「Executive Car of the Year」AUDI A6
不過與前代車型差異最大的莫過於底盤懸吊的重新調整,使得MINI的整體操控感更佳,並導入速度感應式方向盤也特別提升了緊急轉向的精準性,搭配TSC扭力轉向輔助系統,可以有效的減少轉向不足的推頭效應,提升不少操駕樂趣。

其中Cooper搭載入門的1.5L三缸渦輪引擎(136hp/22.4kgm),搭配6速手自排變速系統時僅需7.8秒便可完成0-100km/h的衝刺,極速則在210km/h的範圍;而Cooper S改採2.0L的四缸渦輪引擎的配置,最大動力為192hp/28.6kgm,同樣的在6速手自排的搭配下,Cooper S僅需6.7秒即可由靜止加速至100km/h,極速也來到235km/h的境界。
