June just ended, and most of us are either on vacation of thinking about it. As we sit there distracted, the Brits from MINI are hard at work putting together their offer for the new model year. And on the first day of July, they unloaded all the details of their range for the hot summer ahead, and there's at least one nasty surprise.
MINI bets big on the American market for the new model year, as it launches both an electrified car and a high-performance one. It is this model year that will include the electric MINI Cooper SE and the MINI John Cooper Works GP.
But before these two get here, there’s still a lot of other MINI cars worth at least a closer look, especially because of the changes made to justify the hike in price.
The Clubman, for instance, gets refreshed with new colors, a new front end, new interior styling, and LED fog lights / rear lights in Union Jack design. This range will sell from $30,900 for the Cooper S Clubman to $39,400 for the John Cooper Works Clubman ALL4 ($2,000 to $3,500 more than before).
The Countryman range expands with the introduction of the John Cooper Works Countryman with 301 hp, but also additional tweaks such as new lights, new transmissions and new tires. For this family of cars prices start at $28,400 for the Cooper Countryman and goes all the way to $41,400 for the JCW Countryman ALL4 ($1,500 and $3,600, respectively).
The good old two-door MINI remains the cheapest in the range, but in this case too the price hike is noticeable. The model starts at $23,400 ($1,500 more) for the hardtop and goes to $33,400 for the JCW ($1,500 more).
On average, the price hike in the MINI range is of about $4,000. To get an idea whether this is justified or not, we recommend you scan the document attached below to see all the changes made for the 2020 model year.
