Inside sources have revealed to Automotive News Europe that Magna will build up to 80,000 units per year, which will include both FWD and AWD variants. The Colorado, which is likely to be called the Colorado, will be built off a new platform to accommodate the AWD transmission and raised suspension but the existing Mini engine bay will remain.
BMW is yet to confirm Magna as the supplier of the new Mini-SUV but CEO Norbert Reithofer did reveal last month that production of the car would be outsourced. We're sure product planners have other variants in store for the next Mini car, including a possible Mini-hybrid?
