Mini’s latest toy is a new SD version which just so happens to be their most powerful diesel Cooper ever, and yet another reason the Mini Cooper is so darn popular.
The Mini Cooper SD is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine that delivers an impressive 143 hp at 4,000 rpm and a peak torque of 225 lb-ft available between 1,750 and 2,700 rpm. Whether we get a piece of this action or not, Mini will be bringing the SD trim level to different Mini models, including the Cooper, Cooper Convertible, Clubman, and Countryman versions. The Mini Cooper SD will be making its world debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show with sales beginning shortly thereafter.
The MINI Cooper SD, MINI Cooper SD Clubman, and MINI Cooper SD Countryman will also come with a new roof spoiler.

A six-speed manual box is standard, with buyers able to specify a six-speed auto, which will also be offered on the MINI Cooper SD. The manual gearbox is ‘lightweight’ to help the economy figures.
The most expensive MINI Cooper SD is the four-wheel drive Countryman which comes in at just over £23,000.
