Can you say Mini car is fun!
Mini Car an auto, motor und sport?!
This was a fun car to drive back in 2014 and 2016. Besides the fact it was a mild hybrid. However, I thought it can’t wait for a hybrid. Or even plugin hybrid and an all electric version to be offered.
Surprisingly, though all MINI Hardtop’s have 3 driving modes. That’s with a simple dial or switch from comfort to green to sport.
Mini Mild Hybrid
Yet, this MINI is a mild hybrid electric car. So for greener driving, simply switch into the Green Mode. This is like the auto in auto, motor und sport. Yet Bottom line: the smart shifting, regenerative braking and an awesomely cool coasting feature. Especially when your foot’s off the gas, making this car easily get over 45-48 MPG. Even longer trips it’s plausible to get 50 MPG at 50-55 miles per hour!
Want Green Mode in a Mini? Dial it up!
Mini created an amazing “Green Mode” to help the mild-hybrid electric car capture regenerative braking (as you see a battery charging in the visual display for driving). This mild hybrid grabs every last bit of engine efficiency, kinetic energy and regenerative braking charged to the battery. See: More on the technology from Mini
