Sat Sep 13 23:55:00 CEST 2014 Press Kit
Just a few months after the market launch of the new MINI, the British premium brand expands its model range with the addition of an entirely new body variant. The MINI 5 door combines the hallmark brand driving fun, the distinctive charisma and the extensively refined product substance of the new model generation with additional possibilities arising from the expanded space available.
Second body variant of the new MINI; consistent expansion of the
model program with the addition of the MINI 5 door creates new
opportunities for hallmark brand driving fun; also the first time the
British premium brand is represented with a five-door model in the
small car segment.
Wheelbase expanded by 72 millimetres as compared to the new
MINI; this makes space for three seats at the rear of the MINI 5 door
with 72 millimetres more foot space and legroom, 15 millimetres more
headroom and 61 millimetres more interior width at elbow height as
compared to the new MINI; what is more, luggage compartment space is
now at 278 litres - 67 litres more than in the 3-door model; excellent
figures in the small car premium segment in terms of legroom, headroom
and luggage compartment volume; rear backrest with 60 : 40 split;
optional storage package including luggage compartment floor which can
be locked into place at varying points.
Full application of the refined product substance of the new
MINI to a second body variant; new MINI 5 door therefore demonstrates

comfort, safety and connectivity; new generation of engines;
model-specific suspension settings; high-end fittings including
innovative driver assistance systems; the very latest MINI Connected facilities.
