New MINI price from £13,750 – on sale this weekend

The new 2014 MINI Hatch (pictured) goes on sale this weekend

We had the reveal of the all new MINI at the end of last year at the Los Angeles and Tokyo Motor Shows, and the new MINI One turned up on MINI’s stand at the Geneva Motor Show this week. And now it’s going on sale in the UK. Sitting on BMW’s new UKL1 platform, the new MINI may be more BMW under the skin than before but, despite growing in size, it’s still very much a MINI.

Entry point for the new MINI range is the MINI One Hatch which will cost from £13,750 rising to £18,650 for the new MINI Cooper S Hatch, small price increases on the outgoing model.

The entry-level MINI One comes with the new 101bhp 1.2 litre 3-cylinder petrol or the 95bhp 1.5 litre diesel, with the Cooper getting the 135bhp 1.5 litre petrol and the Cooper D the 115bhp 1.5 litre diesel.

The (for now) range-topping MINI Cooper S will get the 2.0 litre 4-cylinder petrol with 190bhp, all fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard with a six-speed auto an option and also a six-speed sports automatic transmission with shorter shift times and flappy paddles.

Beyond the standard model options there will be an extensive range of options including stuff like the John Cooper Works rear spoiler, MINI Connected, Alloys, Variable Dampers decorative roof trims and lots of colour options including five new colours and bonnet stripes. And you’ll still have the option of MINI TLC, five years of servicing for just £299.

The new MINI Hatch goes on sale in the UK tomorrow (15th March 2014).
