MINI named BusinessCar Magazine’s ‘Supermini of the Year’ for
Ninth Consecutive Year
For an impressive ninth year in a row, MINI’s commitment to
manufacturing frugal and fast premium small cars has been
recognised as the MINI Hatch is named ‘Supermini of the Year’ by
Business Car Magazine.
MINI’s unbeatable mix of performance, low running costs and CO2
emissions, coupled with high residual values are just some of the
reasons why it has proven to be so successful with business car
users.
Commenting on the award Jochen Goller, Director MINI UK said “We
are delighted to receive this prestigious recognition from
BusinessCar. The corporate sales channel has increased in
importance for MINI since the recent launch of the fourth member of
the MINI family. The new four door MINI Countryman has already
generated huge interest in the fleet market amongst buyers seeking
the unique MINI driving experience combined with increased space
and practicality.”
“Normally it would be incredible to see a car hold onto
its title for nine years, but with the Mini’s unbeatable running
costs and driver appeal, it’s no surprise to see it take the
BusinessCar Supermini of the Year Award for a ninth straight year”
said BusinessCar Editor Paul Barker. “The excellent residual values
and economy mean it’s a small car that makes big sense for
business.”
Under the new Greener Vehicle Discount scheme the new MINI One D
and MINI Cooper D Hatch models are eligible for standard free of
charge entry into the London Congestion Charge Zone both as cars
emit just 99g of CO2 per kilometre.
As with all MINI models both the MINI One D and MINI Cooper D
comply with the EU5 emission standard and they achieve the same low
fuel consumption of 74.3 mpg and CO2 emissions of 99 g/km.
These values are an absolute record for any series production car
produced by the BMW Group.
In addition to the high efficiency of the diesel engine in the
MINI One D and Cooper D, under the MINIMALISM umbrella both cars
employ a host of fuel-saving and emission-lowering technology
including Brake Energy Regeneration, Auto Start-Stop, Gearshift
Indicator and Electromechanical Power Steering. All of these
technologies and the standard six-speed manual gearbox play a role
in eking the most out of every drop of fuel while also minimising
the tailpipe emissions.
The BusinessCar Awards are the only awards in the market decided
solely by the readers of the magazine and website.
