2014 MINI leaks ahead of reveal

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

MINI has been busy teasing the new MINI for a while, with an official reveal planned for later today to coincide with the 107th birthday of the Mini’s creator – Sir Alec Issigonis. But the best laid plans of MINI have garnered a bit of a wrinkle with the first official photos (above) of the new MINI leaking out online ahead of the official reveal.

They don’t really tell us much we don’t already know – especially with the MINI Vision Concept previewing the new MINI – but do confirm the new MINI still looks as we would expect, just bigger and better equipped and based on a new BMW platform.

What we also know is that the new MINI will get plenty of technology to give it an edge and that there will be a choice of three and four cylinder petrol engines with more power and better economy than before and, at least at launch, a 1.5 litre diesel engine that promises more than the old 1.6 litre.

The official reveal of the 2014 MINI will happen later today.
