92 June 2014 www.bahrainthismonth.com Now available at Euro Motors, the all-new MINI Hatch sets out to continue the global success story of the firstever premium automobile in the small car segment. It takes road presence to a new level while retaining many of the historic design cues that are trademark features of the iconic brand. If you take a closer look, you’ll find an entirely new car. The premium small car (with a big personality) boasts a new design, new-generation engines, improved driving comfort and a vast range of new quality materials and colours. It comes with driver assistance systems, such as head-up display, parking assistant, rear view camera, collision and pedestrian warning, and high beam assist. The exterior design has been refined to include newly designed round LED headlights, hexagonal front grille and upright rear lights with wide chrome surround. The selection of exterior colours has been extended to include five new variants. The new model offers many changes, including highend materials. One of the most important new features is the instrument panel that has been completely redesigned, with the speedometer now positioned behind the steering wheel. Key insertion as previously required is no longer necessary in the cockpit. As soon as the key is inside the car, the engine can be started by pressing the new toggle-type start/stop button located in the middle of the centre console, which lights up. You are never alone inside the Hatch thanks to MINI Connected, a connectivity feature that enhances the driving experience by keeping the driver connected with the outside world through smartphone platforms. Once the MINI Connected App is downloaded, other cool features become available, including worldwide radio at the touch of a button and access to Facebook, Twitter and RSS news feeds while driving — all of which are displayed on an innovative central display. The automotive company makes the all-new model’s go-kart handling drive experience more exciting with a new generation of engines. For the first time, both threecylinder and four-cylinder engines are used with sixspeed automatic gearbox and MINI TwinPower Turbo technology in Cooper and Cooper S variants. This makes them more powerful and more efficient than those of the predecessor model. You will find three driving options: Sport, Mid and Green. These options allow owners to pick from sporty, comfort or economical driving modes to maximise fuel efficiency and/or enhance MINI’s driving fun. And the driving experience doesn’t stop there. The new Dynamic Damper Control (DDC) option lets the driver control the stiffness of the suspension. Cutting-edge active and passive safety measures ensure you can enjoy every corner without worrying about a thing. With super high-strength multiphase steel, intelligent warning and protection systems and increased luggage space, all-new MINI Hatch guarantees you and your passengers will sit comfortably and stay safe. i Call 17 750-609.
