Mini Australia has announced pricing details of a new entry-level variant to the Mini range, the Mini One Hatch – which it says is the ‘most affordable Mini yet’.
The Hatch replaces the previous entry-level variant, the Ray, at a lower price and will soon arrive in dealerships.
The new Hatch is powered by a 1.2 litre version of the three-cylinder engine currently found in the new Mini Cooper Hatch, and delivers 75 kW and 180 Nm of torque.
This is enough to propel the Hatch to 100 km/h from standstill in 9.9 seconds (automatic: 10.2 seconds), while fuel consumption is 4.9 L/100 km’s (automatic: 5L/100 km’s).
Kai Bruesewitz, general manager for Mini Australia, says: “The new Hatch embodies the same technical and quality advancements demonstrated in the rest of the Mini Hatch range, and when compared to the previous entry level model, offers customers greater performance, improved comfort and a lot more value for money.”
The newest entry level model has also grown, boasting increased dimensions for the chassis, body and interior space.
The MiniOne Hatch not only includes the key features of the old Mini Ray – such as Bluetooth and USB interface – but also offers automatic start/stop with keyless go, servotronic power steering, dynamic stability control including dynamic traction control and electronic differential lock as well as colour line in carbon black.
