LONDON: According to a report from
Autocar
, MINI will reportedly build two new models, one made for the
China
market and one of conventional origins.
It seems the China-market model will be an electric 5-door crossover, using a shared platform and built in collaboration with Great Wall Motors.
As for the second model, it is said that it will revive the Traveller name and be a bit bigger than the current
Countryman
.
This model will not be exclusively electric but will also offer internal combustion engines to those interested. The car will be comparable to a
BMW X3
in size once it arrives somewhere in 2024 and it will most likely use the CLAR architecture, making it the first MINI in history with a longitudinally mounted engine.
