At the heart of every great car lies a great engine. The MINI 3 Door gets its strength from the 2.0l, 4-cylinder MINI TwinPower Turbo engine that is fast, furious and fuel-efficient. The low centre of gravity, and wide track width combine to evoke a sense of rebellion and deliver a thrilling go-kart feeling on curves and corners alike. We've updated our engines with new software and optimised heating circles to give you improved emissions, control and performance. They set new standards in terms of speed, response and reliability. It’s pretty much the most excitement you can ever have four-to-the-floor in a 3 Door.

Like the MINI, the Union Jack transcends time and signifies a long and rich history. Reimagined for modern driving, these striking LED rear lights form a two-part LED Union Jack, surrounded by a chrome frame.

The winged MINI logo is emblematic of our rich heritage and history. But we have given it a slight makeover. We've reduced its shape a little to give it a contemporary aesthetic and now we allow the exterior finish of your MINI to shine proudly through the wings to provide a pleasing, sharper contrast. Entering your MINI is now an experience in its own right with the MINI logo projection displaying a beam of light from the inside of the door on the ground to greet you.

The excitement starts well before your vehicle arrives. You feel it even more when you put together your interior. The fascia in Piano Black is back-illuminated with a modern, stylised Union Jack-inspired design.

We've reinterpreted the front LED headlights and given them a cleaner, modern edge. The daytime running lights incorporate LED indicators which blink in an eye-catching full circle thanks to the unique headlight design – the black inner housing amplifying the iconic MINI look. The powerful low and high-beam settings come courtesy of the bi-LED light and ensure better vision and greater safety. So lights on – you're ready to road trip.

The 7-speed Steptronic Sports automatic transmission makes shifting gears exceptionally dynamic. It uses a precision-tuned electronic gear shifting system that offers you a seamless transaction between gears. The selector lever allows you to opt for manual-shift when you want it, or the automatic mode at other times. The Start/Stop function makes driving more economical, too, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Composed of two interlocking, mechanical parts, it shifts to the next gear while the previous one is still active to improve acceleration.

Setting new standards in dynamics and efficiency, our MINI John Cooper Works models are fitted with an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission to give you an even smoother, sportier drive. The extra gears reduce the number of revs at high speed to allow optimal power development. Steptronic functionality lets you choose between automatic ease and the thrill of manual shifting. The Start/Stop function makes driving more economical, too, reducing fuel consumption, engine noise and emissions. The John Cooper Works model can now be fitted with an 8-speed Steptronic sport transmission to give you an even smoother, sportier drive. The gentle gradation of the eight gears reduces the engine's rev interval between shifts, so you enjoy a more powerful acceleration.

Go green. Go mean. Go somewhere in between. You want to take things easy when you’re on the road, then just switch over to fuel-friendly GREEN mode. This mode optimises fuel delivery, and disengages your engine when your foot’s off the throttle. Fancy something a bit more, then switch to SPORT mode for more responsive steering and acceleration. Even the growl of the exhaust moves up a few tones. For the best of both worlds, just stay in MID mode for a happy motoring medium.

The MINI 3 Door's Ambient Lighting lets you customise the colour in the cabin. So while the city lights outside shine brightly you can create the perfect atmosphere for the interior – and let it reflect the mood you happen to be in.

Cast a glance at the LED ring around the MINI Centre Instrument. It’s there to keep you company. Like a faithful travelling companion, it feels with you. It has moods of its own. It glows intensely – changing colours in response to different events. Like when you change the Driving Mode, rev up your engine, recieve an incoming call or turn up the music volume. If you prefer a more mellow cockpit, simply set it to one constant hue.

Depending on your perspective, our latest new additions to our extensive palette of exterior colours are exuberant, exclusive and expressive. So, and in no particular order, please give a warm welcome to Solaris Orange, Starlight Blue and Emerald Grey who are now adding more individuality, styling and attitude.

Rounding everything off are the rings on the air ducts, loudspeakers and gear selector lever which are offered as standard in all models in eye-catching Chrome finish.

The MINI Head-Up Display helps you keep your head up for a safe and convenient driving experience. It's a transparent screen installed on your MINI’s dashboard directly in your field of vision. It sends you essential information including driving speed, navigation instructions and other data like telephone & entertainment details – ensuring you keep your eyes firmly on the road ahead. (Only for the John Cooper Works model)

Your MINI can connect with your devices via Bluetooth. This enables you to take calls safely using either the multifunction steering wheel, the MINI Controller or Voice Control system. Even better, you can listen to your music playlists, perform a range of convenient office tasks, access your contacts and other useful functions on your phone.

Apart from providing a fantastic grip while underlining the sporty look of your MINI, our multifunction steering wheel options put a variety of functional, easy-to-use telephone, voice and audio controls at your fingertips. Access your MINI’s radio, answer incoming phone calls and engage the cruise control – all without taking your hands off the wheel.

Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) provides the best possible driving force on every surface, even slick or sandy ones. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) makes a MINI more agile. Intelligent sensors detect if you’re veering off course. Thanks to carefully calibrated braking, where extra force is applied to individual wheels if needed, your MINI corners even more dynamically and cruises around bends with ease.

Every MINI hardtop comes with up to eight incredibly fast, front, side-impact, ceiling-mounted, side-curtain and knee airbags with safety sensors. These sensors constantly monitor the driver and front passenger position, as well as seatbelt use and severity of impact. They use this data to control how fast the airbags inflate. They also stay open for longer than conventional airbags to protect against multiple collisions and flying glass.

Not just light-fast, weather-proof and washable, these black sport stripes for the bonnet and tailgate are high-quality, solid-coloured decals. They also convey a sense of sheer dynamic excitement. Also available in Aspen White and Chili Red.

Nothing quite screams 'dynamic performance' louder than these high-quality sport stripes. They are lightfast, weatherproof and will also come out of a carwash unblemished and ready for the fast lane. You can also get them in Aspen White and Chili Red.

Even when not turned on, these lights stand out from the rest. Normally associated with rallying, these auxiliary headlights are easy on the eye and pretty impressive in every respect. They provide brighter road illumination than ever before and perfectly complement your main LED headlights.
