Isitika esithi “Imoto Yokuhlola Kagesi” siyasinikeza. Sibheke isibonelo sokuhlola isizukulwane esilandelayo se- I-MINI 3 iminyango kagesi, ngaphambi kwesikhathi kakhulu kunokujwayelekile - ukufika kwesizukulwane esisha akulindelekile kuze kube ngu-2023.
Kodwa ngaphandle kwemvelo kagesi ye-prototype, isizukulwane esilandelayo i-MINI izogcina izinjini ezivuthayo zangaphakathi kukhathalogi. Njengoba kusanda kuqinisekiswa, kungunyaka ka-2025 lapho sizobona khona kwethulwa i-MINI yokugcina enenjini yokushisa. Kusukela lapho, konke ukukhishwa okusha kuzoba amamodeli kagesi angu-100%.
Isizukulwane esisha esinezicabha ezi-3 i-MINI igcina isithunzi salo mfuziselo -, ngazo zonke izinhloso nezinhloso, i-MINI “911”, ngakho akekho ofuna ukonakalisa ifomula - kodwa ubukhulu bayo kulindeleke ukuba behliswe kancane uma kuqhathaniswa ne kumodeli yamanje, ihlangabezana nokugxekwa kokuthi i-MINI enezicabha ezi-3… mini inokuncane.
Kukhumbula ukuthi izinkundla ze-“all ahead” (injini ne-front-wheel drive) ezitholakala kwi-BMW Group zinezinhlobo ezinkudlwana, ku-C-segment (BMW Series 1, isibonelo nakusasa MINI Countryman), kwaphoqa ukuze sithole esinye isixazululo sokuqinisekisa ukuthi i-MINI elandelayo ihlala ihlangene ngangokunokwenzeka.
Isixazululo satholwa ngakolunye uhlangothi lomhlaba, ngokuqondile eShayina, lapho i-BMW enayo ne-Great Wall izoqiniswa ngokwabelana kwenkundla entsha phakathi kwabakhiqizi ababili. Le nhlanganisela yamaSino-German izovumela umnotho wesilinganiso esidingekayo ukuze kugcinwe izindleko zilinganiselwe kanye nethuba lokuthi i-MINI ikhule ngokwentengiso eShayina; ngaphezu kokuqhubeka nokukhiqizwa eYurophu, izophinde ikhiqizwe, okokuqala, e-China, igweme izintela eziphezulu zamanje zokungenisa.
Izithombe zenhloli zibonisani?
Okwamanje, kuncane noma akukho okwaziwayo mayelana nezici noma ukucaciswa kwesizukulwane esisha i-MINI 3-door - kusuka endaweni efanayo kulindeleke ukuthi kube nokunye okususelwe, okufana nomsebenzi weminyango emihlanu.
Nakuba i-silhouette ibonakala ngokushesha, akufanele sithathe ngokungathí sina ezinye zezakhi ezibekwe kuso, okungukuthi amarimu amalambu noma izibani zangemuva, okungezona ezicacile, kanye nokungena komoya wamanga phezu kwe-hood. Nokho, kunomehluko ocacile phakathi kwalesi sizukulwane esisha nesamanje, esingawubona kusengaphambili.
Qaphela imigqa esikiwe ehlukanisa ihood kubhampa namanye amaphaneli omzimba; ihood yesitayela segobolondo yemodeli yamanje kufanele inikeze indlela yesisombululo esivamile.
Futhi ngemuva, esiqwini, kukhona umugqa osikiwe ongajwayelekile - othi mazombezombe ngokuma kwawo - odlula kuma-optics angemuva angamanga.
Izitatimende zemenenja ephezulu yakwa-MINI uBernd Körber ku-Autocar zibonisa ukuthi idizayini yesizukulwane esilandelayo enezicabha ezi-3 izoba “isinyathelo esikhulu kunazo zonke kule minyaka engu-20 edlule” emlandweni wale modeli, kodwa ngokusobala isazohlala iyi-MINI.
Kungenzeka futhi ukubamba kancane ingaphakathi elisha, elithembisa ukuhluka kakhulu kunemodeli yamanje. Kulokho okuncane esikubonayo, singabona ukuthi ideshibhodi kufanele ibuswe yisikrini esisodwa noma ezimbili - ukucushwa okwandayo kakhulu kulezi zinsuku - futhi kubonakala sengathi kulahlekelwe isici esiyindilinga esiye sabonisa i-MINI kusukela ... kuze kube phakade.
