The Mini Cooper D will be capable of returning an unblivable 72.4mpg, with CO2 emissions of just 104g/km. The three main technologies used include brake energy regeneration, automatic start-stop, and switch point display. The latter feature works by helping drivers of manual transmission Mini Cooper D to select the most economical gear in which to drive. The engine management system analyses speed, road situation and accelerator pedal position and based on this data calculates optimum gearing. The ideal gear for the Mini Cooper D is then displayed by number in the cockpit display.
