2011 MINI Range Revealed, Australian Debut Unclear

While MINI works to bring production versions of the stylish Coupe and Roadster concepts to market, the BMW-owned British carmaker has revealed its updated-for-2011 line-up, with a number of styling and mechanical changes figuring among the new model's features.

On the styling front, the 2011 MINI line-up gets a new-look front bumper across the range, designed to improve pedestrian protection in the event of an accident. Other new styling features include tweaked headlight internals, updated and repositioned side markers, and LED tail lights for all variants. There are also five new paint schemes and new alloy wheel designs.

Already one of Australia's most fuel-efficient models in its Cooper D guise, fuel consumption for both diesel models is listed at 3.8 l/100km (down from 3.9 l/100km for the Cooper D). The One D will cover the 0-100km/h sprint in 11.4 seconds, while the Cooper D will reach the same speed in 9.7 seconds - also a marginal improvement over the outgoing model. Australian delivery has yet to be confirmed, although the updated MINI line-up is expected to land before the end of 2010.
