Mini Australia has announced two new entry level models for its two-seater
range, the Mini Cooper Coupe and Mini Cooper Roadster, will arrive in Australia during November 2012.
Priced from $34,900* for the Coupe and $37,500* for the Roadster, the new Cooper engine variants reduce the entry
price-point to the range by more than $8,000.
Mini Australia General Manager, Kai Bruesewitz said the new Cooper variants will be in hot demand.
“The Mini Cooper engine is extremely popular in other body styles in the Mini range offering punchy performance and
frugal economy at a great price,” he said.
“With the addition of this engine variant, the striking new Mini Coupe and Roadster are now even more attractive
and more attainable to the young and the young at heart,” said Mr Bruesewitz.
Powered by a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine boasting a fully variable valve control system, the
powerplant for both of these models generates 90 kW at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 160 Newton metres at 4,250 rpm.
This propels the Mini Cooper Coupe from standstill to 100 km/h in 9 seconds. The average fuel consumption is 5.8 l/100
kms on the combined cycle with emissions rated at 136 grammes of CO2 per km. The Mini Cooper Roadster covers the sprint
in 9.2 seconds to 100 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 6.1 l/100 kms (combined cycle) with 142 grammes of CO2 per km.
