With lightly reworked styling on the outside, it may be hard to tell what’s new, but Mini has double-downed inside on its millennial allure, thanks to heaps of new in-car connected technologies.
Mechanical changes are also limited, but engines are now lighter and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission replaces the old six-speed unit , while flagship John Cooper Works versions gains an eight-speed torque-converter.
