Latest-generation hatch gains tech and feature-heavy Seven range

The 2016 Mini Seven will make its world debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in June, before it arrives on roads later this year, priced from £18,545.

The Mini Seven gets bespoke exterior and interior features and more standard kit than the regular car and comes in three and five-door guises.

The Seven is offered in Cooper, Cooper S, Cooper D or Cooper SD form and gets Mini’s latest touchscreen infotainment system as standard inside.

Car review

Third-generation Mini hatchback comes with a range of new engines, more equipment and a practical five-door shape, but is it stretching the Mini name too far?

Back to top

The car will make its debut at the Goodwood event on 23 June, but order books are already open. Prices start at £18,545 for three-door cars and £19,145 for five-door models. Respectively, that's £2920 and £2320 more than the starting price for regular three and five-door Coopers.

Mini hasn’t revealed when it expects the first UK deliveries to arrive, but some time in the third quarter of 2016 seems likely.

Mini names

Maybe someone is recalling that Alec Issigonis's original mini was launched as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini Minor

We know....

We know it's certainly not Mini, but it's not an Austin and it's not a Seven. Bavarians of limited intellect and imagination trading an ersatz product on the back of the genius of others.
