Why should grown-ups have all the fun? MINI has designed a convertible just for
kids. Based on the design of the MINI Convertible road car, the kid's
convertible is painted in Hot Orange just like the grown up version. Two models
are available - a sporty pedal car and a nippy electric version priced at £125
and £225 respectively. Both models go on sale in the UK for the first time at
Motor Show Live.

The electric version is powered by 6V batteries and zips along at a top speed
of 2.5 mph. Electric torque control ensures gentle acceleration in both forward
and reverse gears and the motor switches off automatically in the event of an
emergency stop. Just like the grown up version, the kid's car has an adjustable
seat to provide the most comfortable position for the driver.

The chain driven pedal version also keeps the driver's seating position at
front of mind as the pedals can be adjusted according to the size of the child.
Build quality, as you would expect from MINI, is class leading. The chassis is
constructed from lacquered steel tubing and the bodywork is made from resistant
plastic.

Both cars are recommended as suitable for children aged between three to five
years of age. Each MINI Convertible kids car comes with a two year unlimited
mileage warranty.

MINI driving capers for big kids
Regardless of age, kids with long enough legs to reach the control pedals on a
fully fledged MINI will be able to take the car for a spin at the BMW
Performance Centre at Rockingham this Bank Holiday weekend. Four free of charge
family days have been arranged for BMW customers and prospects offering them
the opportunity to test BMW's latest performance models on the track, and the
BMW X3 and BMW X5 on an off-road course. Kids will be given the chance to take
their first ever test drive in a MINI by instructors who will introduce them to
MINI's famous go-kart like handling.

Editors Notes:
MINI Convertible kids cars can be purchased from the MINI Shop located just
outside of the main entrance to Motor Show Live from 25th May - 6th June.
Alternatively the MINI Convertible kids car can be purchased from any official
MINI dealer or online at www. mini.co.uk

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
