The 2013 MINI Paceman Revealed

Mini has launched the seventh addition to its expanding lineup, the all-new 2013 MINI Paceman. It’s a coupe version of the Countryman crossover, the new Paceman and makes its official world debut at the 2012 Paris Auto Show before hitting the showrooms.

The dash is your typical MINI one, comprising of a large circular center speedo, decorative rings, scalloped doors, and newly designed surrounds for the air vents. Some goodies are standard such as air conditioning, sports seats up front and 16-inch alloys. You can also include xenon headlights, rain sensing wipers, parking aids, an electronically operated glass roof, satellite navigation and a Harman Kardon sound system. Buyers will also be able to upgrade the wheels to 17, 18 and even 19-inch sizes.

The regular Cooper Paceman comes with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with 112 horsepower and standard front-wheel drive, while the Cooper S Paceman gets a turbocharged version of this engine with 184 horsepower. All Paceman variants come with a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic as an option.
