MINI at the Los Angeles Auto Show 2016.

Presenting a world premiere and the latest additions to its model
range at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show, MINI not only moves forward
with the change of generation in its model program but also maintains
its advance into the premium compact segment. The new MINI Countryman
will be on show in Los Angeles for the first time. This all-round
talent offers an impressive increase in interior space, enhanced
driving fun, innovative fittings and a refined premium ambience. It is
also the first model of the brand to be available with a plug-in
hybrid drive.

Visitors to the Los Angeles Convention Center will also get to
see the very best of the current MINI models in the small car segment
from 18 to 27 November 2016. This applies to both the new
MINI Convertible and the new MINI Seven. The first design model of the
new generation is available as a MINI 3 door and a MINI 5 door.


The new MINI Countryman: bigger, more versatile, more
innovative.
As the successor to the first premium
compact model of the brand, the new MINI Countryman has everything it
takes to convey the enthusiasm of hallmark MINI driving fun to
additional target groups in the future, too. This completely newly
developed model is 20 centimetres long than its predecessor, has
powerful proportions and in addition to the characteristic raised
seating position, it provides considerably more space on its five
fully-fledged seats and luggage compartment. The change of generation
also exhibits clear advancements in the areas of versatility, sporty
flair and premium quality.

In the US automotive market, there are two powerful petrol
engines to choose from for the MINI Countryman, both of which are of
the latest generation featuring MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology. Both
engines can be combined with the new efficiency-optimised version of
the all-wheel drive system ALL4. In addition, the new MINI Countryman
is the first model of the British brand to be available with a plug-in
hybrid drive. In the form of the MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 it
has a range of up to 40 kilometres running on electricity alone.

The unmistakable character of the new MINI Countryman derives
not least from its powerfully expressive design and numerous
innovative equipment features. In conjunction with the optional LED
headlamps, the daytime driving light is produced for the first time by
a band of light running entirely around each headlamp. The 8.8-inch
colour display in the hallmark central instrument comes with the
MINI navigation system Professional and now offers a new touchscreen
function. Other new features include the MINI Country Timer, which
registers travel over challenging terrain, the fold-out MINI Picnic
Bench, which turns the loading sill of the luggage compartment into a
comfortable seat for outdoor breaks, and the MINI Find Mate, which
makes it easy for MINI Countryman drivers to locate bags, keys and
other accessories.


The new MINI
John
 Cooper Works Clubman:
extreme driving fun in the premium compact
segment.
The latest generation of John Cooper
Works extreme athletes now also takes the premium compact segment by
storm. The new MINI John Cooper Works Clubman combines its captivating
spirit with top figures in terms of space, versatility and
long-distance suitability. The stretched lines of the body, four side
doors and characteristic split doors provide a contemporary
interpretation of the tradition-steeped shooting brake concept, with
five fully-fledged seats and a versatile luggage compartment on the inside.

In addition to its space concept, the engine concept of the new
MINI John Cooper Works Clubman also makes it highly flexible. With the
most powerful engine ever to be found in a MINI, the all-wheel drive
system ALL4 as standard and suspension technology geared towards the
very highest performance properties, it is both able to meet the
diverse demands of day-to-day traffic and rise to the challenges posed
by the race track. What is more, its exclusive design and equipment
features set it clearly apart from the other model variants of the new
MINI Clubman.


The new MINI Seven: stylish driving fun with traditional
roots.
The latest attraction in the small car
segment is the new MINI Seven. This design model particularly
highlights the British origins, extrovert appeal, hallmark driving fun
and premium character of the new MINI generation.

A contrasting paint finish for the roof and exterior mirror caps
in the variant Melting Silver, exclusive bonnet stripes and deco
elements as well as 17-inch light alloy wheels in MINI Seven two-tone
design underscore the model’s individual style on the exterior.
Exclusive accentuations in the interior especially include sports
seats in the fabric/leather combination Diamond Malt Brown, created
specifically for the design model.
