Mini's fourth-generation Hardtop will be the last with internal-combustion power.
Mini is preparing the fourth generation of its modern lineup, and the first member to arrive will be a redesigned Hardtop., and now we have spy shots of a redesigned Hardtop powered by an internal-combustion engine. Both are due in 2023 as 2024 models.
This time around, the electric Hardtop will be based on a dedicated electric vehicle platform developed by BMW Group and Chinese partner Great Wall Motors. Production of the electric Hardtop will also be handled in China, and word on the street is that there will be at least two versions.The ICE-powered Hardtop will be more of a heavy update of the outgoing Hardtop than a true redesign, and this is reflected in the spy shots which show a similar design to the outgoing model.
Underpinning the ICE-powered Hardtop will be BMW Group's FAAR platform for front-wheel-drive cars. It's an evolution of the UKL platform underpinning the outgoing model, which means plug-in hybrid power will be possible.Production of the ICE-powered Hardtop will be handled at BMW Group's plant in Oxford, U.K., where the outgoing model is built. A four-door Hardtop is possible once more, though Mini hasn't confirmed plans for one yet. A related Convertible is also a sure bet.
The next couple of years will be busy for Mini as the brand renews its lineup and adds new model lines. A
