Mini Shows New 2014 Hatch's Interior Bits, Confirms Head-Up Display

Written By Unknown on Friday, October 11, 2013 | 9:31 AM


With the unveiling of the all-new Mini hatch scheduled for November 18, the BMW-owned carmaker continues to tease its core model with new photos. This time Mini reveals photos of the interior and some of the driver assistance systems that the new model will be equipped with.

Mini says future models will benefit from a number of driver assist systems that will also use intelligent networking for the exchange of information between driver and vehicle. Until then, the 2014 Mini hatch will be equipped with a series of driver assist systems including the Mini head-up display, which displays information right in the driver’s line of vision.

However, the system is not the same from BMW, as information is not projected on the windshield, but on a transparent glass located behind the steering wheel – similar to the one used by Peugeot and Citroen.

The new Mini also features collision warning and pedestrian warning systems, including a city braking function, which help drivers avoid dangerous situations, especially in city traffic. Another feature for the city is the Mini parking-assist feature with reversing camera, which make searching and using parking spaces easier.

A video-based speed and distance control system will also be available on the new Mini hatch. The technology automatically keeps a safe distance from the vehicle in front, while the speed limit information system detects and displays speed limits of the current section of road. The system includes no passing display and traffic sign memory functions.

Finally, the digital headlight assist function helps visibility when driving at night by using the full range of headlight functions. Oncoming traffic and preceding vehicles are registered by a camera, with the system automatically switching to dimmed headlights.
