The first day of the Qatar Motor Show 2016 saw the Middle East debut of the all-new Mini Convertible yesterday.
Mini enthusiasts also had the opportunity to see the all-new Mini Clubman for the first time in Doha.
“We are excited to be bringing another great model debut to the region, further highlighting the importance of the Qatar market for the MINI brand,” Alfardan Automobiles general manager Ihab Allam said. “We have also introduced the all-new MINI Clubman, a model that has brought with it a new DNA for the brand.”
Redefining urban driving fun, the MINI Convertible is the only premium convertible in the small car segment, carrying forward the trademark of go-kart feeling with its iconic MINI design.
The all-new MINI Convertible comes in two engine variants of Mini TwinPower Turbo Technology where there is a 3-cylinder petrol engine with 100 kW/136 hp for the Mini Cooper Convertible and a 4-cylinder petrol engine with 141 kW/192 hp for the MINI Cooper S Convertible, alongside with options of 6-speed Steptronic transmission or 6-speed Steptronic sports transmission.
The car’s exterior design comprises a balance between top-class elegance and sporty flair. Maintaining the classic Mini design features, this model is further enhanced with circular headlamps and rear lights with chrome surrounds, hexagonal radiator grille, black peripheral body surround, side turn indicator elements and a large selection of body finishes including the variant of Caribbean Aqua metallic that is being presented here for the first time.
The interior is designed with horizontally structured cockpit, circular or elliptical contours for displays, air vents and door trim elements as well as high-quality colour and material combinations on the steering column, central instrument with new functions, optional LED lighting display and a start/stop button at the toggle switch bar.
The model has increased by just over 32cm in length and around 12cm in width.
The defining element of the Mini Clubman interior is its broad instrument panel, which adopts the generous surface areas of the exterior and brings them inside the car.
Other models showcased include the Mini 5 door hatch and the Mini 3 door hatch.
