The reports say that a well-known brand Mini hatchback is going not just make its appearance better, but it will be much greener. By the way, the car has a Toyota Prius iconic.
Environmental protection now is the first task the automakers set daily. Environmental friendliness is the peculiar feature of the car.

The model is going to make a debut at Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The car is supplied with two systems: regenerative braking and stop/start. These systems are aimed to shut down the engine while stopping for example at the red lights and then restart when the gas pedal is pushed. The point is in using the kinetic energy which recharges the electric battery.
These systems are successfully compatible with both gasoline- and diesel-powered Mini. Technically, the Mini has a 1.6-liter 109 hp oil-burner, which develops 104g of CO2 emissions/km. This new model has some advantages, it is better in 14g/km than the ordinary diesel-powered Mini.
