2013 Mini Paceman is now the seventh mini-model and will appeal to a new customer base. The two-door version of the Countryman, the Paceman is based on the can, it again come up with the typical mini-genes.
Identical at first glance, you can see the Mini Paceman as real, although the tail lights are not the first cross and longitudinally arranged. Thus, the Paceman would also show that he is a very special model in the Mini family.
With the combination of steeply rising toward the rear window and sloping roof line of the Paceman has extremely dynamic.
As with mini usual Paceman can also make an individual and provides a wealth of options and color combinations. Above all, the two-tone paint it stands very well.
In a first exit we could have the 112 hp diesel and the 184-hp gasoline engine, each with four-wheel drive, get to know better.
Already at the first meeting of the interior is very familiar and comes in a classic Mini look. Striking, however, the newly designed door panels and windows therein, which were previously always housed in the center console.
The door panel now offers a much more comfortable armrest, which allows it to travel on wide stages very pleasant.
Access to the rear, where there are two very contoured individual seats is a bit tighter and type of construction requires a certain agility. The luggage compartment volume of 411 cm long mini holds 330 liters and is thus placed on a car of this size decent size. If required, can be achieved by folding down the rear seats even 1080 liters of storage space.
Equally well in both models is the absolute mini typical driving experience. You would not believe for a moment that you are traveling in a small SUV, the Paceman literally glued to the road and offers the usual go-kart feeling like all other Mini models.
In absolute driving fun is of course more of the Cooper S designed with 184 hp, the throaty exhaust note underlines the sporting ambitions further.
Paceman the sprints in 7.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h and up to 212 km / h. Its maximum torque of 240 Nm the engine from 1600 to 5000 rev / min provides, which one has enough power at every opportunity available. With the overboost function, from 1700 to 4500 rev / min are available even 260 Nm.
Even at highway speeds can be in top gear again casually sprinting away without having had the feeling that the engine makes an effort.
The crisp circuit and the direct steering will fit just as perfectly as the Paceman the sporty chassis.
Only criticism is the high interior noise levels at highway speeds, which results from the characteristic engine sound.
Here is the 122-hp diesel engine is much quieter, which is an advantage as well as lower consumption of the diesel engine.
With a maximum torque of 270 NM, which is between 1,750 and 2 .250 r / min, there is also the diesel from the bottom side to have a lot of power available. More power then really only missing one, when it comes to speed from a high gear at higher speeds still afloat.
Without switching back then goes ahead often not much, and also the sprint from 0 to 100 km / h you is with 11.5 seconds not quite as fast as it would give one the appearance of the fleet Paceman. The top speed of the diesel engine is located at 182 km / h and is thus sufficient for our roads.
We have estimated in our first outing and the ALL4 all-wheel drive, which makes a come even on snow-covered highways confidently and without problems ahead. When driving on dry pavement no difference to remember is what is clearly in favor of modern technology in micro.
The Paceman occupied definitely a new niche and will certainly find its fans. It combines the typical characteristics such as the Mini-Go-kart feeling when driving or the arrangement of the valves with a large central display in the center console with brand new visual attributes, remains but is still instantly recognizable as a Mini.
