Cooper Named SD, will receive a 2-liter turbocharged 143 hp and 305 Nm original BMW is the largest engine ever installed under the hood of a Mini. It will be associated with a manual gearbox as standard, or optional automatic, both 6-speed.
Available on the entire range Mini (coupe, convertible, Clubman and Countryman), this version "Cooper SD" dresses like the Cooper S: sport shields, air inlet at the base of the hood, roof and spoiler Central dual exhaust.
If the lap of the Mini Cooper SD are correct (0 to 100 km / h in 8.1 seconds, 215 km / h peak), calls its consumption: 4.3 l/100 km, it is as much a Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.3 JTD least powerful of around 50 hp! The Mini Cooper SD thus becomes one of the most sober diesel cars in its class ... in its most sports. Thank you to the recovery system of the kinetic energy during braking and the Stop & Start.
