Extras

People who love cars and driving will love the added extras that come with the mini. The large ‘Start’ button brings the car to life with just one touch for an exciting ride each time you set off. There are a range of features to enjoy with the Harman-Kardon sound system which includes 12 high-powered speakers for beautiful sound while driving, as well as some subwoofers in the front. There are a variety of Media Pack configurations available to you too, including specialist Mini Connected apps and the option of a 20gb hard drive for storing your apps and music.

The Mini is a fun and stylish car that is great for younger drivers and those looking for a more on-trend vehicle.

Those looking for a slicker, more rugged option might prefer to take a look at the all-new 2017 Countryman which packs a whole other host of features with the same Mini quality.
