03MiniSUVproof1Rumor and Rumor…One day in a dream that Mini 4×4 will be a Clubman in high heels… Well u will get used to it.  With four-wheel drive system in the shape of rear driveshafts and a rear diff. Sounds like watching Top gear.

02MiniSUVproofNecessity: Sales of 4×4s are holding up well, despite the flak being heaped upon SUVs by political and climate change activists. Could it be that smaller off-roaders like the Fiat Panda 4×4 and Mini SUV could be coming of age, as buyers scramble for lower CO2 models with their go-anywhere image intact?


01MiniSUVproof BMW will ensure reasonable stats by sticking to the Mini’s 1.6 engines, the diesel engine is expected to be the biggest hit in the four-wheel drive market; however, in the regular hatch it achieves carbon dioxide emissions of just 104g/km (Mini’s stop-start technology). That’s Toyota Prius-rivalling stuff, and the jacked-up Mini should be similar.
