Transcription of the first minutes of the podcast:
– Biomotors, act for the planet by running on super ethanol and save up to 50% on your fuel.
– Presents Sud Radio, we talk about cars and we take the wheel.
– And this steering wheel you will find it on the Sud Radio Youtube page with the complete video produced by our friend Jean-Luc and an extract now.
– It's gone on the Facebook page, it's the pumpkin of the week since it was…
– Yes, well yes I know.
– There you go, pumpkin color.
– No, it's the Mini S-Man which fills the gap that existed in the Mini range between the Cooper and the Countryman.
– It is a small, 100% electric SUV which borrows its general line from its big brother and its technical base from its little sister.
– So concretely, the S-Man adopts square headlights, I don't really like it at least.
– Partially square wheel arches too, I don't like it either.
– While it contrasts a bit with the round shapes of the stern of the car.
– Well, style, I'm not…
– I'm not a big fan, I prefer the Mini Cooper and I don't understand why they didn't take the lines of the Mini Cooper.
– We talked about it with the people at Mini, they told me…
– There you go, so I didn't get an answer.
– On the other hand, it is the happy medium in terms of size.
– It was 4.08 m long by 1.75 m wide, so it remains a city car.
– Under the hood, the mechanics are identical to the recent electric Cooper.
– On our SE version, we find a permanent magnet synchronous motor which develops 218 horsepower and a generous torque of 330 Nm.
– It develops…
– It is powered by a large battery on the SE, well we say large because there are two capacities that are available.
– It is 54.2 kWh, that makes 49.8 useful kWh.
– What is much less generous than the mechanics is the trunk of this Mini S-Man.
– Under the rear hatch, we have a trunk with a capacity of 300 liters.
– It's a bit tight for a small family car.
– Likewise, if the S-Man offers 5 doors and 5 seats, those which are allocated…
– for rear passengers are not very generous.
– You will have to console yourself with the impression of space offered by the panoramic glass roof.
– It's an option, there are a lot of options at Mini.
– So it's option packs today.
– And then the rather airy presentation of the dashboard which I find very successful.
– So like the Countryman that we tested a few months ago, the interior of the S-Man has a textile covering.
– Paradoxically, it's really paradoxical, I find the perceived quality.
– It's better in this S-Man than in the Countryman.
– However, the Countryman is made in Germany and the S-Man is made in China.
– So, you see, preconceived ideas must be forgotten.
– Here too, the instrumentation is mainly grouped on a large central OLED screen 24 cm in diameter.
