These are the best pictures yet of the facelifted Mini hatchback, which will go on sale this summer.
Unsurprisingly, the exterior modifications are restricted to styling tweaks, as shown by the disguised parts on the spied car. These include the front air intakes, bumpers and lights.

Inside, expect to see similar materials to those shown in the Mini Countryman. The interior will feature new, classier surfaces, replacing some of the metal-effect finishes of the current model.
Mechanical changes are not expected, although a range of cleaner, more effecient engines is said to be under development.
The refreshed Mini hatch will go on sale around August.

Re: Revised Mini spied undisguised
I think there was a problem with the old design in that it made the back of the car prone to getting dirty or something? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

Because the ENGINEERING side of it is brilliant. By 'heavy', I mean in appearance, not kerb weight.
Re: Revised Mini spied undisguised
I don't think the MINI should have ANY defined gender in it's styling; that was the thing about the original, everybody was equal behind the wheel, the driver made the car what it was, not the other way round.
