Munich/Los Angeles. With a double US premiere at the
Los Angeles Auto Show 2015, MINI puts the spotlight on the latest
products to emerge from the change of generation in the brand's model
range. At the international trade fair on the west coast of
California, the British premium automobile manufacturer presents both
the new MINI Clubman and the new MINI Convertible to the American
public for the first time. Both models provide the perfect basis for
additional target groups to access the distinctive MINI feeling in its
very latest form. The anniversary of a successful model will also be
celebrated in Los Angeles: the 500 000th MINI Countryman will be
presented at the stand of the tradition-steeped British brand.
By extending its model range, the MINI brand is providing an
impetus for its continued growth in the American automotive market.
The USA continues to be the most important single market for
automobiles of the MINI brand. The appeal of the latest model
generation is reflected in this market, too, in the high level of
demand for the new MINI 3 door and the new MINI 5 door. They too will
be on show at the LA Auto Show, along with the top athlete of the new
model generation, the MINI John Cooper Works.
Successful all-rounder: 500 000 MINI Countryman produced to
date.
Another success factor in the USA, too, is the
MINI Countryman - the brand's first model with four doors, a large
tailgate, five seats and optional all-wheel drive. 500 000 of this
talented all-rounder have already been produced, guaranteeing
authentic MINI driving fun even beyond the sphere of urban mobility.
The anniversary vehicle will be on display at the 2015 LA Auto Show.
It is finished in the colour variant Kite Blue metallic, which is
presented on the body of the anniversary car for the first time and
will be available for the MINI Countryman as of spring 2016.
The LA Auto Show was first held in the year 1907. It is the last
highlight of the year in the industry's international auto show
calendar and offers an interesting look ahead to the automobile trends
and innovations of the upcoming season. This year, automobile
manufacturers and suppliers from all over the world will be presenting
their current models and products along with future-oriented studies
and concepts at the Los Angeles Convention Center from November 20th
to 29th 2015.
