Mini Family

Whichever way you look at it, this is one exciting car. With its 90bhp engine, MINI One is ready to go whenever you are. The definition of fun on four wheels that's great to drive.

DESIGN: Good looks are usually hereditary, and this definitely holds true in the case of MINI. Based on the original design-to-space concept, MINI lives up to its reputation as the one-off small car that creates space on the inside and saves space on the outside.

SAFETY: Four airbags as standard (plus two optional head airbags), disc brakes all round, Anti-lock Braking system (ABS with CBC and EBD), and optional Automatic Stability Control + Traction (ASC+T) makes MINI one of the safest driving experiences you can have.

DRIVING EXPERIENCE: MINI's wheels are pushed out to each corner of the car, giving it a low centre of gravity and superb go-kart style handling. This is enhanced by the multi-link rear suspension - a rare feature in a small car. It makes sure that MINI's rear wheels are always in full contact with the road, no matter how bumpy. Gripping stuff!

ENGINE:Sometimes more is in fact less, as the MINI One's 1.6 litre engine with 90bhp proves. Not only does it deliver fine performance, it also achieves remarkably low emissions levels and fuel consumption, thanks to a combination of drive-by-wire throttle and a powerful engine management system.

Take One and add Seven. What have you got? A car that stands apart from the rest. From Panther Black Upholstery and MINI Cooper Leather Sport Steering Wheel, to 15” Delta Spoke Light Alloy Wheels and exclusive Solar Red Metallic Paint, MINI One Seven is one car that dares to be different.

ENGINE: It isn’t just in the design department that MINI One Seven stands out. Get under the bonnet and you’ll find an engine that’s in a different class, too. 1.6 litre with 90bhp, it delivers high performance with remarkably low emissions levels and fuel consumption, thanks to a combination of drive-by-wire throttle and a powerful engine management system.

If you're looking for something with added oomph, then MINI Cooper is the car for you. Adding 15" alloy wheels and a 115bhp engine to MINI's signature sports chassis means you get a long wheel base with extra wide track with even greater pulling power. On top of that there's the chrome grille, contrast roof and side mirrors for that sporty, urban look.

ENGINE: Indulgence doesn't have to come at a price, as the irresistable MINI Cooper shows. Despite a generous extra helping of horsepower that results in an extremely lively performance (115bhp), it keeps emissions levels and fuel consumption down to similarly low levels as those of the MINI One.

S stands for Sporty, Super-charged, Six-speed and Seriously Self-indulgent. This is one very Special car.

ENGINE: The sleek bonnet of the MINI Cooper S conceals a veritable bundle of energy: a supercharger with intercooler paired with a six-speed gearbox, oil cooler and a whopping 170bhp. This is an engine able to provide verve whenever the need arises. And it doesn't only perform like a premium engine - the noise and vibration levels make it feel and sound like one too.

Bucket loads of power, character by the tonne and a fully automatic roof (opens or closes in 15 seconds flat) make the new MINI Cooper Convertible hard to resist. Our advice - don't fight it, just give in gracefully.

DESIGN: Drive a MINI Cooper Convertible and you'll stand out from the crowd, no doubt about it. What with its unique styling, fully automatic roof (which opens in 15 seconds flat), easy boot load system and a heated glass rear window, heads are going to turn. Everyone will want a go in your MINI Cooper Convertible. It seats four in spacious comfort, so everyone else will have to wait. Or get their own.

SAFETY: The MINI Cooper Convertible sticks to the road like glue, with a single-link spring strut front axle, a multi-link rear axle and anti-roll bars front and rear. It has four airbags, a roll-over bar and more safety features than you can shake a stick at, so you can get on with the serious business of driving MINI Cooper Convertible. The only safety feature it doesn't have is sunblock.
Braking system with Cornering Brake Control (CBC) and Electronic Braking force Distribution (EBD) as standard: four disc brakes and an electronic Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) guarantee a safer driving experience, while CBC improves the braking performance in corners and prevents understeer. EBD manages the distribution of braking force between front and rear axles electronically to ensure the shortest possible stopping distances. So thank phew for that.

DRIVING EXPERIENCE: Above you, the open sky. Below you, the open road. You get the best of both in the new MINI Cooper Convertible - MINI's unique point and squirt driving experience, with panoramic views thrown in. Nippy performance, agile handling, unique design. The MINI Cooper Convertible is ready for anything. Are you?

Mini stretched the length of its Cooper by 9.5 inches to make the Cooper Clubman. The hatchback comes in two trim levels, the Cooper Clubman and a turbocharged Cooper S Clubman. It competes with sporty hatchbacks ranging from the Mazda3 to the Volvo C30.
The extra length benefits legroom for the Clubman's two rear passengers, and cargo room behind the backseat is up substantially as well. Don't take that to mean the Clubman has cavernous dimensions — it's nowhere near as roomy as most cars in its class, but it is appreciably roomier than the regular Cooper. That means adults can probably handle a backseat trip to the local pizzeria.
Other changes include a pair of split-opening rear doors that swing out to either side instead of the regular Cooper's conventional hatchback. There's also a rear-hinged access door on the passenger side.

DESIGN: Differences between the regular Cooper and Cooper Clubman are most apparent in back, where the Clubman's rear-quarter pillars are painted in contrasting black or silver. It matches the rear bumper and, if desired, the roof, creating a squared-off look in back. The swing-out doors necessitate a split rear window, and each portion gets its own windshield wiper.
The wheelbase is up 3.2 inches, which Mini says helps the Clubman keep its wheels near the bumpers to improve handling. Alloy wheels range from 15 to 17 inches, and the Cooper S Clubman adds fog lights and dual exhaust pipes. Mini says the Clubman has more than 40 possible color combinations, as well as options like checkered side mirrors and a Union Jack roof.
The interior looks much like the regular Cooper's, with a large circular speedometer mounted in the center of the dashboard and plenty of toggle switches among the center controls. Backseat passengers have 32.3 inches of legroom, up from 29.9 inches in the regular Cooper. That makes for habitable space, though it isn't nearly as roomy as the Mazda3 hatchback (36.3 inches of rear legroom) or Volvo C30 (41.6 inches). The Clubman's 37.7 inches of rear headroom is slightly more than the regular Cooper's, and it's competitive with the segment.
Cargo room behind the rear seats totals 9.2 cubic feet, a healthy increase over the regular Cooper's 5.7 cubic feet but not as much as many hatchbacks offer. With the rear seats folded, maximum cargo room totals 32.8 cubic feet, up from 24.0 cubic feet in the regular Cooper.
Six-way adjustable front seats, faux-leather upholstery, remote keyless entry, air conditioning, various power accessories and a six-speaker CD stereo are standard. Options include a panoramic moonroof, cloth or leather upholstery, heated seats and a navigation system.

ENGINE: The front-wheel-drive Clubman shares the regular Cooper's engines — a 120-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder in the Cooper Clubman and a 175-hp, turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder in the Cooper S Clubman. Either one works with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. With the manual, Mini says the Cooper S Clubman can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds, just 0.3 seconds slower than the regular Cooper S.
Gas mileage ranges from 23/32 mpg city/highway in a Cooper S Clubman with an automatic to 28/37 mpg in the base Cooper Clubman with a stick shift. Like the regular Cooper, however, the Clubman takes premium fuel.

SAFETY: Four-wheel-disc antilock brakes are standard; the Cooper S Clubman has slightly larger front discs. Other standard features include an electronic stability system and six airbags, including side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain airbags for both rows.
