The MINI Coupe and the MINI Roadster Coming to an end

While worldwide demand for the new MINI 3-door and the new MINI 5-door launched a few months ago increases continuously, production of two model variants from the preceding generation of the original in the premium small car segment is about to come to an end. The two individual 2-seater models MINI Coupé and MINI Roadster will finish their career together and as planned. In taking this step, the British car manufacturer continues the change of generation in its model program and in terms of vehicle production at the Oxford plant. The new MINI 5-door is now produced there in seven engine variants, as is the new MINI 3-door.

The new model generation also provides hallmark MINI feeling in growing diversity. Like the new MINI 3-door (combined fuel consumption: 5.7 - 3.4 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 133 – 89 g/km), the new MINI 5 door (combined fuel consumption: 5.9 - 3.5 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 136 – 92 g/km) also offers a choice of four petrol and three diesel engines, covering an output range of 55 kW/75 hp to 141 kW/192 hp. The latest addition is the extremely athletic MINI John Cooper Works (combined fuel consumption: 6.7 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 155 g/km), whose 4-cylinder turbo engine mobilizes the highest output ever seen in one of the brand's serial production models at 170 kW/231 hp.

Meanwhile, MINI Plant Oxford continues to produce a guarantee of open-air driving fun. The MINI Convertible is available in three petrol and two diesel engine variants, and the MINI John Cooper Works Convertible is still in the running, too.

In the premium compact segment, the MINI Countryman and the MINI Paceman are likewise on track for success. The 5-seater all-rounder and the Sports Activity Coupé also offer a large range of engines. What is more, both models can be optionally fitted with the all-wheel drive system ALL4 which was especially developed for MINI.
