New MINI 5-door Hatch revealed – but will you fit through the back doors?

The 5-door MINI hatch arrives We’ve already had the more BMW-like new MINI arrive, and now, for the first time, we get a MINI 5-door hatch to try and extend the appeal of the MINI range to families. The 5-door MINI gets an extra 72mm in the wheelbase and a pair of doors at the back – which do look very tight for full-size people to use – and there’s also an extra 15mm of headroom, a bigger boot and seating for three in the back. In terms of design, there’s little to choose between the 5-door and the 3-door, but the new 5-door does look a bit like the off-spring of the new MINI and the Countryman; just a little dumpy.

Ford C-Max and Mondeo spotted in Detroit

Detroiter Spencer Abbott spotted a couple of Euro Fords out cruising the boulevards of suburban Detroit this weekend.

New Hyundai i20 Blue – just 98g/km CO2

Hyundai i20 Blue - just 98g/km CO2 With a keen eye for where the market moves, Hyundai has done much right of late and very little wrong. And another example of something right is the new Hyundai i20 Blue, a perfect example of economical transport for beleaguered London car owners. The i20 Blue is Hyundai’s second offering in the sub 100g/km market – the i10 Blue got here first - but it’s unlikely to be the last, unless politicians decide to find something more sensible to tax than CO2 emissions.
