As anyone with a passion for cars and a love of driving will know, there’s more – so much more – to a MINI than meets the eye. First, the extensive heritage that makes a MINI a car with more pedigree and more character than most rivals. Then, there’s the modern take on MINI’s iconic classic style that turns more heads. Finally, the race-inspired performance and go-kart handling that delivers more smiles per mile.
Now, with the MINI Hatch (available as both a three-door and five-door) you can get even more MINI – with more premium features as standard, and the added bonus of one year free car insurance* to boot.

More compact, or more space (for one more friend)
Your first choice is just how much MINI Hatch you want. The three-door MINI Hatch offers compact city-friendly dimensions on the outside, with plenty of space for you and three passengers. In the back, you’ve got 211 litres of luggage space as standard – with up to 731 litres if you fold down the rear seats, letting you pack even more fun into a weekend away for two.
If three’s company, then the larger five-door MINI Hatch lets you pack in a crowd. Although it’s only a scant 16 centimetres longer than the three-door MINI Hatch on the outside, the five-door MINI Hatch’s extra length delivers more space for you and four passengers with even more legroom, and an extras 30% luggage space – with 278 litres as standard, and a capacious 941 litres with the rear seats folded down.
More fun (and more features) as standard
Whether you pick the three-door or five-door MINI Hatch, you get a lot more features fitted as standard on the entry-level Classic trim – especially when it comes to tech.
The highlight: a large 8.8-inch central display with a DAB digital radio and smartphone connectivity options, such as Apple Carplay for your favourite apps and wireless Bluetooth for hands-free voice control and calls. Automatic air conditioning for hot summers and heated seats for toasty winter mornings come fitted as standard, while colourful ambient lighting sets the mood for any adventure and USB-C ports keep everyone’s devices topped up.
The MINI Hatch’s advanced smartphone connectivity extends the extra mile outside your car, thanks to the MINI App. It lets you pre-plan journeys on your smartphone from the comfort of your couch, which you can later sync with your car, with real-time petrol prices to help you cut fuel costs on your mid-journey refuelling stops.
It also lets you remotely check the location and status of your car. After all, at some point we’ve all forgotten where we’ve parked, whether we’ve locked the doors, or whether we’ve got enough fuel for the next leg of our journey. Well, worry no more.
