IT’S time to rethink your MINI choice. Because MINI has decided to completely change its trim structure.

You can still choose a One or a classic Mini Cooper or Cooper S; but the trim spec all changes.

MINI says the reason for this change of trim designation is to make it easier to choose your perfect MINI. And it can now be done in just five steps.

And here at Business Motoring we’re all for making things easier. And clearer.

So now MINI is available in Classic, Sport and Exclusive.

There is a shared standard specification which has been enhanced: automatic headlights with rain sensors, MINI Excitement Pack including ambient interior lighting, exterior MINI Logo projection and more on every model.

But beyond that you can personalise away to your heart’s content. Until you have your MINI au point.

David George, Director of MINI said:

“We know that customers today want a simple purchase experience, and this thinking has been central to the development of our new line up.  We have reduced complexity in our product offering, and harmonised options across the whole range, ensuring an easy customer journey whether in one of our retailers or on mini.co.uk.”
