A new era as 5-door Mini Hatch is launched

THE development of the Mini brand continued in the past week with the introduction of the first Mini Hatch with five doors which will arrive in Ireland this autumn.

The new model combines distinctive character and refinement of 3-door version but with the enhanced appeal of two extra doors. The car will be built at the Mini plant at Oxford in the UK and will be priced from €23,270.

It is the first time in the history of the brand that the Hatch has been offered with two rear doors, and Mini says the new model promises to combine the hallmark driving fun, distinctive character and refinement of its 3-door sibling with enhanced practicality.
