The most affordable model signed by MINI is getting ready to visit the UK. This new two-door MINI First is available only in hatchback form. With a combined fuel consumption of 53.3 miles-per-gallon this car can go from 0 to 60 in no less than 13.2 seconds.

Under the hood the MINI First hides a 1.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine delivering 75 hp mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. As you can see the technology used here is far from being entry-level because the standard features are focused on fuel efficiency including a shift point indicator, auto start-stop, variable valve timing and regenerative braking.

The car will be sold for in UK for £10,950 ($17,950 USD) and unfortunately for the time being there’s no news about any Stateside release. We’ll keep you posted!
