2015 MINI Paceman Debut From Beijing

The Beijing debut of the 2015 MINI Paceman is covered by LeftLane with a gallery of photos. It also observes:
The mid-level Paceman S' turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine gains six extra ponies under the hood, bumping its output to 190 horsepower and 177 lb-ft. of torque. The upgraded mill propels the crossover from zero to 62 mph in 7.6 seconds, and on to a top speed of 135 mph.

The other engine options carry on unchanged, meaning the Cooper model is powered by a 121-horsepower naturally-aspirated version of the aforementioned 1.6-liter four and the range-topping John Cooper Works model packs 208 horses and 207 lb-ft. of twist. All of the Paceman's engines now comply with the strict Euro 6 emissions regulations that will come into effect across Europe in the near future.
