Why Lease A MINI Hatchback With Vanarama?

With leasing, you simply ‘hire’ a new car for a fixed length of time, although it’s usually 2-5 years. Over the duration of your contract, you’ll make fixed monthly payments before returning the car to us once your lease is up.

Our lease deals are flexible, so you can customise them based on your needs. Choose everything from your contract length to annual mileage. There’s even an optional maintenance package which, should you add it to your lease, covers your car’s servicing and maintenance for the duration of the lease.

Did we mention that we’ll deliver your new car to you free of charge, too? To find out more about how contract hire works, take a look at our easy-to-understand guide to car leasing.

Benefits Of A MINI Hatchback

The MINI Hatchback is one of those rare cars that manages to be a fashion accessory and a great car, all in one package. It looks great inside and out, and that’s backed up with an air of premium quality. But more importantly, it’s great fun to drive. If you’re after something compact and stylish yet still good to drive and solidly built, the MINI really is in a class of its own.

The MINI Hatchback Interior

The cabin is a surprise highlight of the MINI experience. The look is clearly inspired by the original Mini’s central dial, but the 8.8-inch screen is much cleverer. It’s a BMW infotainment system and it works a treat. The menus are logical and the resolution is good. The LED lights around the outside are also a neat touch. More importantly, everything feels incredibly well built. The quality is as good as any BMW, with chunky switchgear and plastics that are tactile yet rugged. It all feels sturdy and well made, which gives you confidence in its longevity.

How Does The MINI Hatchback Drive?

The MINI might look cute and cuddly, but it’s a driver’s dream. The steering feels sharp and responsive, the brakes are powerful and the whole car feels agile yet stable. It’s the ideal car for blasting down your favourite B-road. And you don’t even have to lease a top-of-the-range, high-performance version to make the most of its talents. The 2.0-litre, 231hp John Cooper Works cars are indecently rapid, while the 178hp Cooper S will still do 0-62mph in a startlingly quick 6.7 seconds. Faster, if you choose the automatic gearbox. Although the 1.5-litre, 102hp One is a tad slow, the 136hp Cooper is surprisingly perky. The sprint to 62mph takes 8.2 seconds – faster than a diesel BMW 3 Series. But performance isn’t the only thing in the MINI’s favour. Its compact size makes it great in town, where it feels nippy and lithe, whizzing through traffic with ease, and feeling comfortable and solid while it does so. Even when you do get stuck in a jam, the MINI is a nice place to be. It’s also pleasant on the motorway. Although it’s the same length as a small hatchback, the MINI is roughly the same height and width as a VW Golf, which allows it to feel secure and sturdy on longer drives.

The 3-door Hatch model has a 211-litre luggage bay, however, the 5-Door comes with a 278-litre boot that’s on par with the Ford Fiesta and other similar models. It also comes with an extra rear seat taking the total to 5.
The MINI is an economical car, as long as you stick with the less powerful engines. The basic One with 102hp will manage more than 50mpg on the official economy test. The 136hp Cooper is almost as good, returning between 47.9 and 51.4mpg on the same test. The high-performance engines are thirstier, but they both return more than 40mpg, which isn’t bad considering their power outputs.

MINI Hatchback Models Available

Hatch (3-Door)

The definitive MINI comes with just 3 doors as standard. It’s the more affordable and stylish option but has less boot space than the 5-Door.

5-Door

If you want back doors and a bigger boot, try the 5-Door car. It’s much the same as the 3-door Hatch, but more spacious.

Cooper S Electric

Like a MINI but without an engine. This 3-door electric car has its own place in the MINI range and its own specification list, but it takes much from the 3-door MINI Hatch. See how the MINI and the MINI Electric compare in our dedicated article.

Trim Levels

Classic Sport Exclusive John Cooper Works Cooper S E (Electric)

Every version of the MINI comes with plenty of kit. Even basic One Classic versions get alloy wheels, LED headlights and an 8.8-inch central infotainment screen. Other standard features include push-button ‘keyless’ ignition, automatic wipers and air conditioning, not to mention automatic headlights and a sports steering wheel with audio controls.

The MINI Hatchback Vs Competitors

Once upon a time, the MINI faced stiff competition from the DS 3 hatchback. Although it was slightly smaller and less practical, the French supermini was a compelling alternative to the established MINI. But with that car out of the way, the MINI has an almost entirely clear run. Nothing in the small hatchback class is this stylish – although the Ford Fiesta is great to drive and the Peugeot 208 is definitely a looker. Only the Fiat 500 really comes close on the style front but is slightly smaller than the MINI hatchback.

The MINI brand is owned by BMW and the Hatch/5-Door is built with German precision. The reliability record is strong, so these little retro hatchbacks are unlikely to let you down. Should the worst happen, new MINIs come with a 3-year warranty.
The 3-door MINI Hatch has a 211-litre boot. The 5-Door MINI has a 278-litre boot that’s much closer to the Ford Fiesta and other small hatches.
MINI Hatch customers get a choice of 4 trim levels. Things kick off with the entry-level Classic, while the Sport and Exclusive models add increasing levels of luxury. The John Cooper Works model, which is only available with the 3-door car, is the go-faster sporty option.
Parking sensors are only standard on Sport, Exclusive and John Cooper Works models. Basic Classic versions can be specified with parking sensors as part of the optional Comfort Pack.
Leasing a MINI Hatch says a lot about you. It says you have taste and you find style important. But it also shows you are a discerning customer with an eye for detail. The MINI looks great and it drives well too. What’s not to like?
