Details of the latest makeover for the BMW Mini range have been announced. All existing models of the Mini benefit from design changes to both the exterior and interior. A new front bumper gives Mini a new face as well as improving protection for pedestrians. There are also changes to the fog lights, headlights and side indicators.

The tail and brake lights are now LEDs, and the brake lights will pulse depending on how hard you brake – meaning that drivers following behind can gauge the urgency of your manoeuvre.

Mini buyers can choose from five new paint colours – Ice Blue, Spice Orange, British Racing Green II, Eclipse Gray Metallic and Velvet Silver Metallic – and five new alloy wheel designs.

The new Mini models are subtlety different, yet distinctive – they go on sale from 18th September here in the UK.
