Mini is a brand under BMW, and the Mini is a small hatchback. Its models include: Mini JCW, Mini Countryman, Mini Clubman, Mini Coupe, Mini Paceman, etc. Taking the 2021 Mini Clubman as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4263mm, width 1800mm, height 1479mm, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. The 2021 Mini Clubman is equipped with a 1.5T inline 3-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 102PS, maximum torque of 190Nm, and maximum power of 75kW.
I was fascinated by the history of Mini since childhood. This brand was born in the UK in 1959, created by designer Alec Issigonis, and was initially called the Morris Mini Minor, specifically designed to address London's traffic congestion. Its compact and practical design, with a transversely mounted engine to save space, quickly gained global popularity, even appearing in James Bond films, becoming a symbol of British culture. After BMW acquired the brand in 1994, it was revitalized with new models that retained retro elements while incorporating German engineering. Now, I drive the new Mini Cooper, which features classic design elements like the round headlights and compact body, making it agile for city commuting with low fuel consumption. However, the rear seats are a bit cramped, and maintenance costs are slightly high. Overall, it retains its unique charm and remains a beloved choice for car enthusiasts.
