MINI Updates Its Hatch, Electric and Convertible Models

Twenty years after the launch of the modern MINI, the latest model generation moves to the next stage of its evolution, with the MINI 3-Door Hatch, the MINI Electric, the MINI 5-Door Hatch and the MINI Convertible getting fresh new design and technology updates, bringing parity across the line-up.

"With the current model revision, the MINI has reached a level of maturity that makes it more exceptional in the small car segment with regard to design, product substance and premium quality, than ever before," says Bernd Körber, Head of the MINI brand. "The MINI is the original that stands out from the crowd and it continues to reinvent itself again and again."

The refreshed exterior of the MINI 3-Door Hatch, MINI Electric, MINI 5-Door Hatch and MINI Convertible models looks even more modern, with even more attention now focussed on the car’s central design features. Adding to an expansive colour pallet, customers can now choose from three additional exterior body colours as well as five new wheels across all models.

On the inside, an 8.8-inch colour touchscreen display and Piano Black high-gloss surface are now standard. A newly-designed sports leather steering wheel with multifunction buttons is also standard across the four models.
