Mini Crossman 2010

Introduced last March in Geneva as concept - because under the appellation Crossover Concept, the next Tiny 4x4 performs the last turns of wheels and will be officially called Crossman in the marketing in the first quarter 2010.Bigger than the Tiny classic, about 4 metres, Mini Crossman is meant to be a baroudeuse of cities " Lifestyle ".

Very close from the point of view of style that a Tiny classic, the city-dweller very - way will free itself therefore notably from it thanks to an entire transmission. Moreover, his interesting wheelbase, undoubtedly above 2,60 m, should be pledge of a very correct habitability. Side modularité, Crossman will have a priori rabattables and retractable seats, while the access aboard for the passengers could be made easier - as on Clubman - by an antagonistic opening of the door righthand.

Under the bonnet, Crossman will take back the range of existent motorisation, notably that of the version Cooper 1.6 THP of 175 horses. So, with Crossman, Tiny really intends to continue going surfing on the success of its city-dweller whose success story since the resumption of mark by BMW in 2001 is indisputable, especially to the female race and urban categories.

MINI Crossover Concept

At first glance the little hatch above may look like the Infiniti FX. It is actually BMW MINI’s third variant in its line-up of “New MINIs” and it will be an all-wheel drive type of vehicle.



MINI will be previewing the upcoming MINI crossover “softroader” SUV (reportedly going to be called the “Crossman”) at the 2008 Paris Motor Show.

The MINI Crossover Concept rides on a 2606mm wheelbase (longer than the Cooper’s 2466mm and Clubman’s 2547.6mm) and has a conventional four doors with two on each side of the car. The driver’s side has no B-pillar so that particular door is of a sliding type that slides to the rear to open. The rear hatch once again opens with a split in the middle, so I suppose you could call this a 6-door hatchback?

The focus of the interior is the “MINI Centre Globe” which is installed in the place of where you’d typically expect the giant speedometer to be. The 3D sphere uses laser projection to display two different views if viewed from different positions. This allows the front passenger and front driver to view different displays from the same MINI Centre Globe.

It’s quite obvious that BMW ConnectedDrive will come to the MINI brand soon enough because the press release also indicates the ability for the front passenger to surf the web from the MINI Centre Globe display, and ease of data input is facilitated by a keyboard that can slide out from the front dashboard on the passenger side. Steering-wheel controls typically use buttons or scrollwheels but in the MINI Crossover Concept, a trackball is used.

The starter system gimmick is also integrated into the MINI Centre Globe. Instead of a keyfob, a Keyball is used. The Keyball is inserted into an opening in the upper edge of the globe. It will then roll down towards the driver along the middle of the globe.



The driver can then press the Keyball to start the engine. When the engine needs to be turned off, the ball is pressed again and it will then roll down into its housing bay where it can be removed.
