MINI ROCKETMAN 2018: PRICES, Review AND PHOTOS
The Mini is, without a doubt, one of the best-known vehicles of the last 50 years in Europe, and a symbol until the beginning of the 21st century of Great Britain. Now, it seems that the Mini can once again become fashionable, once again, with the possible release for 2018 (still unconfirmed) of the Mini Rocketman.
Mini Rocketman 2018
As we say, the Mini came into being during the 1950s. It was built by the British Motor Company, and for several decades it was established as almost one of the country's national symbols. The Mini was a vehicle, as its name suggests, small, urban and cosmopolitan, which triumphed almost instantly.
However, since 2001 the Mini is manufactured by BMW, who introduced certain aesthetic novelties in the vehicle, although always trying to be related to the classic lines. The Mini then became a more powerful and sophisticated vehicle, and even more oriented to competition (it has even taken part in the WRC):
However, there are many people who say that with the new Mini has lost the essence of the original Mini, which was characterized by being a very small car, almost a couple. However, with the release of new features such as the 5-door Mini it seems that BMW was already quite different from that original idea.
The rumors about the possible return of BMW to the origins of the Mini date back to a few years ago. In fact, it was already in 2011 when the German brand presented for the first time the concept of this Mini Rocketman at the Geneva Motor Show.
It was a model that was characterized by its small dimensions and its great similarities (saving the logical design distances) with the classic Mini. From that moment until today, it has been speculated many times on whether BMW would finally put this model into the factory, but for the time being there has been no confirmation about it.
The truth is that in recent months there have been intensified rumors about the possibility that the Mini Rocketman enters the factory. There are even those who talk about the possibility that it could be in the market in 2018. And there is also another series of speculations about the plans that BMW could have for this new model.

For now, almost everything that is known about the appearance of the Mini Rocketman 2018 is the concept car that was presented at the Geneva Motor Show, a vehicle barely 3.4 meters long that returned to the measurements of the original Mini, which barely exceeded three meters.
However, it is not known how BMW will do to manufacture the vehicle, whether it will do it on a platform of its own creation or if it will ask for collaboration from another brand. In this sense, there is talk that the new Mini Rocketman could be built on the platform of a Toyota IQ.
Mini Rocketman 2018: prices
In the absence of knowing when the Mini Rocketman comes out or how much it will cost we show you the prices of the Mini that are in the market. Most of them move in the range of 20,000 euros.
A little below that fork we are talking about is the MINI Hatch One, which can be found from 19,300 euros. It is a three-door diesel model, with 102 hp and a consumption of 4.6 liters.
With three doors, 95 HP and a consumption of just 3.3 liters, we fear the MINI Hatch One D. Its price is a little higher than the previous version and already exceeds 20,000 euros (from 21,000)
The MINI Hatch Cooper is one of the two options if we want a gasoline vehicle. It reaches the 136 HP of power with u consumption of only 4.5 liters / 100 km. Its price is around 22,000 euros.
The MINI Hatch Cooper D is the diesel version of the previous model, with a little less power (116 hp) and also a much lower consumption (only 3.5 l./100 km). In this case, its price is already 23,600 euros.
If you want a more powerful gasoline version, our option is undoubtedly the MINI Hatch Cooper S. This three-door model exceeds 190 horsepower. It is also a model of three doors, like the previous ones, and can be purchased from 28,000 euros.
The latest and most expensive model you have right now in the BMW market is the MINI Hatch Cooper SD. It is a diesel vehicle that has 170 HP and a declared consumption of only 4 liters. Its price is 29,200 euros.
As we can see, there is a difference of 10,000 euros between the most expensive Mini models and the cheapest ones. Of course, everything depends on what each one is looking for and the complementary equipment that you want to include.
