MINI 5-Door Hatch has won Best Compact SME Company Car at the 2018 Business Car Manager SME Company Car of the Year awards.

Judged by an independent panel, this is the third consecutive year that the MINI 5-Door Hatch has won the award thanks to its highly appealing design, low running costs and competitive company car taxation rates.

Editorial director at Business Car Manager, Ralph Morton, said: "The MINI Hatch has come to dominate this sector. No wonder. It offers all the charisma you could want, with added extras of low running costs and competitive company car taxation rates. The independent judges have picked the MINI for the third successive year - testament to the car's enduring appeal to the SME market."

Steve Roberts, Head of Corporate and Used Sales at MINI UK said; “Winning this award for the third year in a row is a huge achievement, and reflects the positive growth that MINI has achieved within the corporate market. The MINI 5-Door Hatch has been popular with SME customers since its launch in 2014, so we’re very proud to have won this award again.”

The award from Business Car Manager comes as MINI prepares to launch the new MINI 5-Door Hatch in the UK on 24 March 2018, further enhancing the brand’s offering in the SME fleet market. Featuring new technology, cutting-edge connectivity, standard-fit front and rear LED lights and an advanced dual-clutch automatic gearbox, the new MINI 5-Door Hatch is focused on refining driver appeal and offering customers core new technologies.

In addition to the 5-Door Hatch, MINI has strengthened its product offering for corporate and SME fleet customers in recent years with the introduction of the larger MINI Clubman and new MINI Countryman models. In June 2017, the brand introduced its first electrified and most fleet-focused vehicle to date, the MINI Countryman Plug-in Hybrid. Combining the efficiency of a hybrid with the practicality of a crossover, its 26-mile pure-electric range opens up the possibility of fuel-free commuting.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
