Next Gen. 5 Door MINI Seen On The Production Floor

United Kingdom's Auto Express has photos of a new, next generation five door MINI on the production floor at Oxford as described by Dietmar Zimmerhackl, Senior Vice President MINI Product Line, at the recent LA Motor Show:

"You can see from looking at the standard hatch that we will need to expand the wheelbase just to fit another set of doors in."

According to the article.

The five-door hatchback is tipped to be the most lucrative member of the new MINI range, aimed at young families desperate for extra space. “Some people want a MINI with the ease of five doors but they don't want it to be as big as the Countryman. That's our market here," Zimmerhackl revealed.
