The Mini SUV will be unveiled and will go on sale as scheduled, according to a BMW source who talked to Autocar. Despite rumors of delays, the insider said that the new Mini SUV will be showcased at the Geneva motor show and will go on sale as expected in September. The new SUV, which is built on a new platform, would be available in both front-wheel-drive and four-wheel drive forms. Power will come from the four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines from the existing Mini range and carry over model designations; Cooper and Cooper S will be the range-toppers. Pricing will undercut the BMW X1, indicating that there will be models that would be priced at under £20,000. The source says that the company has yet to decide what to name the first four-door Mini. It's a toss-up between Crossman and Countryman for now. [via autocar]
