The front grille of the car makes it unique with black blades and this colour is prominent

Mini One is to add more power to the small car so that it can do perform well in daily routine. This new model has a three-cylinder engine of 1.2 litre which is turbocharged so you can expect robust output and the same has curbed its emission so that it can pull more buyers.

Other notable changes one can see are more use of chrome on the exterior and bigger lights at the rear. It is still a little car and from its size, you get an idea of how much muscle it could have. The front grille of the car makes it unique with black blades and this colour is prominent on sides of the car.

With this use of black colour on the exterior, it stands out when put side by side with Mini Cooper. Old Mini One engine remanufactured to make use once again for the budget buyers. Mini One engine reconditioned with such expertise that many shortcomings are cured.

Many well-reputed engine providers offer Mini engines supply and fitting for people in the UK and other countries of Europe. Old cars in this way get a new life for a stretched period.

 The ride has become bit softer than the original Mini

It is available in eight different colours so you can select a good one for you. Mini has always been good at offering a variety of shades of beautiful colours and with one it continues. Small alloys allow it to stand low to the ground and in appearance, it has sporty than ever. Apart from 15 inches standard alloys, you can choose bigger alloys from optional features and these flashy wheels in the black colour match well with the black plastic on sides.

The new 1.2-litre power unit is a huge improvement which has replaced the 1.6-litre diesel engine. This one is turbocharged and has the required torque even at low revs so it has much more than the figure suggests. It produces 101bhp and 133lb/ft torque and these figures let many of you imagine a brisk ride.

The ride has become a bit softer than the original Mini but still tough. Over bumps and other imperfections, it behaves more decently so you can call it a refined version of Mini. The new power unit is also smoother in acceleration so cabin has been made refined.

While riding in a new model of Mini you enjoy sporty feel as well as better comfort level and enhanced refinement due to Mini engine and suspension. When you push it to move at speed of 70mph on motorway very little road or wind noise is find a way to get into the cabin.

 Interior is also different from other super Minis

Standard six-speed manual transmissions are good when put into work so sharp handling makes driving more enjoyable than ever before. The driving position is good and front visibility allows you to move the car as you like. Interior is also different from other super Minis as you miss quality soft plastic but overall cabin quality is nice.

Leather mounted steering and soft felt dashboard creates a nice impression over people who drive or ride in Mini One. The dashboard has LCD witch has controls too. Switchgear is quite close to BMW and you feel that it works in the same nice manner. So after enticing exterior, you come across a good kind of interior which cannot be ignored as it does not lack much.

 For small distances and commuting around town

Seats are still not very comfortable and do not provide support under thighs to allow riders a comfortable journey but you can adjust them. For small distances and commuting around town, these are good to sit on.

Optional leather seats turn things around and you get the required support, as well as comfort so optional features, are expensive but handy. Running cost is another area where it shines and beats its predecessor as it’s per gallon average is over 61 miles.

On carbon emission, it saves 90 pounds than the older version as it emits just 108g/km so it has made some great achievements in Mini One. Start-stop technology is standard and ensures great fuel saving. The real-life figures of fuel consumption remain quite impressive even when you push the speed pedal harder.
