MINI has been working feverishly to expand its lineup in the last few years, with more variants than most can keep track of, but now it appears that our spies have captured the first-ever images of yet another all-new MINI model: the Cooper S Hybrid all-wheel drive.
Previous reports highlighted a business deal made between MINI’s parent company, BMW, and PSA Peugot Citroen regarding a tie-up to develop “hybrid systems for front-wheel drive applications,” but the announcement did not specify exactly what types of systems would be developed. At the time, many assumed that the systems would involve a traditional hybrid drivetrain that would distribute all power through the front wheels, but our latest spy photos may indicate otherwise.
