Currently, the Mini Hatch and Cabrio powertrain lineup consists of a selection of turbocharged three- and four-cylinder engines. Some powertrains could receive some modifications to meet the latest safety emissions although it\u2019s uncertain which ones will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come 2030, every single Mini will be electric, so regard the facelift spied here to be the last-gen ICE-powered Mini \u2013 ever! Electrification will also include the performance-oriented John Cooper Works brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aes-custom-banner\">\n\n<!-- START ADVERTISER: TRADE SHOP from awin.com -->\n\n<a rel=\"sponsored noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?s=3082044&#038;v=28243&#038;q=431578&#038;r=1229872\" target=\"_blank\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cshow.php?s=3082044&#038;v=28243&#038;q=431578&#038;r=1229872\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\">\n<\/a>\n\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: TRADE SHOP from awin.com -->\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Internal combustion isn\u2019t dead in the Mini just yet.
