The MINI lineup debuted at your Boston 2010 MINI dealer in September with a subtle makeover and performance enhancements for the 2011 Cooper, Cooper Convertible and Clubman models. Based on the success of the lineup since it was reintroduced to the U.S. in 2002, MINI left many of the styling cues the same while slightly tweaking others. Some of the changes that Warwick drivers will notice are a new engine that delivers more power and a customizable interior and exterior.
The 2011 models come standard at your Boston 2010 MINI dealer with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 121 horsepower, a three horsepower upgrade over the 2010 lineup. Despite the surprisingly powerful MINIs, gas mileage has remained impressive with fuel economy ratings at 28 mpg for city driving and 37 mpg on the highway. Each model offers the same responsive handling and smooth ride of previous models.
The most apparent exterior revisions on the 2011 models is a redesigned front bumper and a lower grille that has been rearranged to meet pedestrian safety regulations in Europe and results in a more athletic appearance. The larger fog lights are more pronounced and are available with black headlight surrounds with adaptive xenon lights. At the rear of the MINIs, reverse lights have been placed on the lower bumper and the brake lights and rear lights use LEDs.
Few changes have been made to the interiors of 2011 models except for a more conventional layout of audio controls and a new steering wheel with a chrome ring. Rhode Island convertible drivers will be pleased with the tailgate-style trunk opening that features an upper package adjustable traythat was left untouched as well as the rear seats that can be folded flat for additional cargo space. All models have retained their spacious interiors that offer ample headroom and legroom for the 2011 model year.
Most exciting for the 2011 models are the customizable options which allow Warwick drivers to choose from one of three "Design Worlds". The Rally, Classic and Scene "Design Worlds" serve as the basis for Rhode Island convertible drivers to create a configuration of a MINI model that fits their personal style. Drivers can customize a combination of body paint finish, roof color, wheel design, interior color, upholstery, trim elements and color lines to create a personalized MINI for their unique style. Visit your Boston 2010 MINI dealer to test drive a MINI or to customize an all new Cooper, Cooper Convertible or Clubman model.
