Following the reveal of the facelifted MINI Hatch, the carmaker is now launching the five-door variant which adopts the same styling revisions and tech upgrades. The first examples of the facelifted MINI 5-Door will arrive in the European market this March, combining the brand’s latest design accents with the increased practicality of its five-door bodystyle.
The 2021 Mini 5-Door comes with a 160mm
longer body, with 72mm added to the wheelbase for more comfort and space for
passengers and their luggage. MINI claims that passengers at the rear benefit
from “noticeably more interior width, legroom, and headroom. In addition, the
rear bench, which seats three passengers, can fold and split 60:40, increasing
the luggage space from 278 liters to up to 941 liters.
The front end of the facelifted MINI
5-Door features the newly-designed front grille with a bigger hexagonal
surround, a new bumper with vertical air inlets on the sides, a new rear bumper
with the fog light now integrated as a narrow LED unit into the apron, and five
new alloy wheel options to choose from.
In addition, MINI is now offering the
Multitone Roof option, which features a color gradient from San Marino Blue
through Pearly Aqua to Jet Black, thanks to a new painting technique. The
feature is unique in its class and further adds to the long list of MINI’s
personalization options. The front LED headlights are now standard, as are the
rear lights with the Union Jack lighting signature, which here is applied in a
darker tone.
The interior has also been updated, with
the dashboard now featuring new flush center vents and a redesigned central
instrument cluster that houses the standard 8.8-inch infotainment system. The
digital instrument cluster is optional, but the leather-wrapped sports steering
wheel with the new button panels is standard. Sales of the facelifted MINI
5-Door model are launching this March across Europe.
