The 2014 MINI – an all-new MINI – is due to be revealed on 18th November – Sir Alex Issigonis’s 107th birthday – as MINI drives in to a new generation with a car that is all new and rather BMW under the skin.
MINI say the new driver assist systems will use intelligent networking to transform the new MINI in to a proper driver’s assistant, with technology that aims to inform and assist
Making the most of BMW’s technology, the new MINI comes with a heads-up display that puts important information right in the driver’s line of sight, with a small folding screen on the dashboard displaying stuff like speed, Nav instructions, alerts and infotainment information.
Also on offer is pedestrian and collision warning, complete with city braking, that uses a camera mounted on the windscreen to monitor the area in front and provide warnings to the driver, intervening with the brakes if no action is taken.
In addition, the new MINI gets parking assist, a rear-view camera, speed limit information, a video-based speed and distance control which keeps the car a safe distance from the car in front and digital headlight assist which offers the best lighting available depending on conditions and oncoming traffic.
The new 2014 MINI will launch on 18th November and go on sale in 2014.
