BMW has taken the wraps off the third generation of Mini developed under its ownership. The new F56-generation three-door hatchback has evolutionary styling, increased dimensions, a host of new technology and, most important, a new platform and a range of new three-cylinder engines that will also be used in BMW models. The new Mini was unveiled at the firm's Oxford factory on Monday before simultaneous motor show unveilings in Tokyo and LA on Wednesday. It will go on sale in the UK next spring, with the initial range of Cooper, Cooper D and Cooper S models priced from ￡15,300. Mini calls the new model "completely new from the ground up", the result of which is "a Mini that is distinctly familiar but enhanced in every single way".
