The next exciting MINI chapter

And then there were five. The next exciting chapter of the MINI success story begins on October 1 at Sytner Coventry MINI, as the arrival of the all-new MINI Coupé becomes the fifth unique model in the MINI family.

Joining the MINI Hatch, Convertible, Countryman and Clubman, the MINI Coupé’s mission is a simple one: to maximise the thrill of being behind the wheel. Built at Plant Oxford, the Coupé is MINI’s first ever two-seater, offering driving excitement with MINI’s intoxicating blend of go-anywhere attitude and practicality. The MINI Coupé indulges the driver with a level of agility unmatched in the small car segment. The engines, the weight distribution and the aerodynamic properties are all focused on delivering optimum dynamic performance.

This sporty little package is not only nippy, but has deceptively good storage, outstanding CO2 emissions, and with an entry price of just £16,640, is surprisingly affordable.

Key to the MINI Coupé’s appeal is its stunning exterior design, unlike anything else in the compact sports car segment. Immediately identifiable as part of the MINI family, it’s an appealing reinterpretation of the classic MINI features. With its low roof and stepped rear end, the Coupé has a more aggressive, forward-thrusting profile than previously seen in a MINI.

Central to the sporty look and feel of the MINI Coupé is its unique active rear spoiler, automatically deployed when the car hits 50mph and dropping back down at 37mph or manually operated via a button in the overhead control panel. A first for MINI, the active rear spoiler improves grip on the road to provide dynamic, nimble handling.

MINI enthusiasts will immediately recognise the interior of the Coupé. The much-loved large central circular speedo, chrome toggle switches and numerous other MINI trademark features are all present in the two-seater cabin.

 Behind is a spacious 280-litre luggage area - 20 litres larger than the MINI Clubman - easily accessible by the driver or passenger from inside the cabin as well as externally via the boot.

The large, high-opening boot space makes for simple loading and offers excellent cargo-carrying possibilities. Whether it’s for day to day activities or for adventures further afield, the MINI Coupé is the ideal transport.

Available in Cooper, Cooper S, Cooper SD and John Cooper Works variants, the MINI Coupé takes MINI’s legendary go-kart handling to a new high. The fact that each of the four model variants carries the Cooper name goes to show MINI’s faith in the performance capability of this new addition. The Cooper name has long been a sign of outstanding sporting ability, and the MINI Coupé fully deserves it.

The John Cooper Works model is a MINI record-breaker, capable of 0-62mph in just 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 149mph, making it the fastest production MINI ever.

Not only does the MINI Coupé offer untamed driving pleasure, it’s also the cleanest Coupé on the market today, thanks to critically acclaimed MINIMALISM technology that comes as standard across the range, helping to make efficient use of fuel with low emissions.
