FOR 2019,
MINI SPANS THE SPECTRUM FROM EDUCATIONAL TO ELECTRIFYING
MINI for 2019 is still the deluxe go-kart it’s always been, but changes both small and large abound. Starting small -- it’ll take a keen eye to discern a 2019 MINI from a 2018, but look
closely and you’ll
see a streamlined
new logo, as well as
small changes to the
front and rear styling
(including new re-
vised headlights and
delightful Union Jack
taillights).
Inside, all of the ve
2019 MINI body
styles -- including
2-Door Hardtop,
2-Door Convertible,
4-Door Hardtop,
4-Door clubman
Station wagon and
4-Door Countryman
Crossover -- o er
more customizing
options through the
Mini Yours program,
plus a luxurious new leather upholstery option called Malt Brown Chester eld.
Talking tech, there’s a choice of stan- dard new 6.5-inch and optional 8.8-inch screens for infotainment. Both feature standard Bluetooth for phone calls and
streaming audio. A wireless charging pad is optional and a new MINI Connected 4G LTE antenna delivers data for real-time tra c.
Works trim, including a turbocharged 228 horsepower engine.
That said, there are a couple of MINI models that might
be of special interest. If you’re looking for
a Crossover but all the choices out there seem... dull, take a look at the MINI most people don’t know -- the Cooper S E Coun- tryman ALL4 Cross- over, the largest, most spacious and versatile MINI ever... and its available now at Braman MINI.
Under the hood is
a world-class Twin Power Turbo paired with the instant power of an electric motor to deliver a combined 221 horse- power to all four
wheels. You get both thrilling MINI per- formance (0 to 60 in 6.7 seconds) and a range of 270 miles to let you venture well beyond the everyday. And the gasoline engine re-charges the battery so plug- ging in is useful, but entirely optional.
Under the hood, you’ll nd the familiar and frisky turbocharged 3- or 4-cylinder engines rated between 124 to 189 HP, plus the option of 6-speed manual and 8-speed automatic transmissions. And, to keep your inner racing driver happy, every MINI is available in John Cooper
