The Mini of all Minis to Lead Boom in Small Car Market

May 25 2011

Millions of UK car loan buyers have been waiting for this: a mini that can really take the place of the legend of yesteryear.  The new Mini promises to be the best-selling Mini yet.  With very strict anti-emission regulations and petrol prices going through the roof, the demand for small cars is spiralling right now and the car will no doubt cash in on this trend.

The new Mini is set to become the leader of a pack of fuel-misers that prove that there is no reason to give up style and driving enjoyment in return for better fuel consumption and low emissions.  The car is based on the rocket concept, which many UK car loan buyers were recently able to view at the Geneva Motor Show.

The car is undoubtedly going to begin a new era in the Mini saga.  It will offer a range of three-cylinder engines to choose from and will be constructed from light-weight materials to enhance economy.  Further good news is that an all-electric version will definitely be on offer.

Sneak pictures leaked to the motoring press show that the car will leave a tiny footprint indeed.  It is barely 50cm wider and 40cm longer than the original and engineers promise the production version will not be bigger than the concept car.

The design uses every inch of available space.  The 3+1 seating configuration (resembling the Toyota iQ) will save a lot of space.  While the car will technically be a four-seater, the rear seat directly behind the driver will not really be suitable for long trips.
