The diesel version of the Coupe, the Mini Cooper SD, is powered by a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine, with common-rail injection and variable turbine geometry, which has an output of 143 hp /105 kW at
4,000 rpm and 305 Nm/225 lb-ft of torque at 1,750 – 2,700 rpm. The Mini Coupe SD diesel has a 65.7 mpg combined fuel consumption and a 114 g/km CO2 emissions level.
