mini’s been doing this for quite some time now. All of its new products are growing in size with every passing generation, and newer, even bigger cars are being introduced. The Countryman (which isn’t really a Mini, more like a Mega)is a key offering, and even the new… erm, new Mini, isn’t as small as it used to be.Guess what. There’s another not-somini Mini. And it’s called the 5-door Mini. Pretty much explains itself, doesn’t it? It looks exactly the same as the recently-introduced 3-door variant, except this has a whole new section consisting of proper, full-size rear doors. The new Mini save the rear passengers from discomfort and the driver from some verbal abuse – for the inconvenience, and also adds 161mm – which is a fair stretch – to it’s length.72of those 161millimetres have gone into increasing legroom at the back, and Mini has kindly fitted a headrest to the centre of the rear seat back, though with that ginormous centre tunnel, the unlucky chap in the middle would have to sit with his legs in his co-passengers’ pants. There’s also 67litres of added boot space over the mini-est Mini, so you can also put your dog back there, underneath the shopping bags.There are a total of four engine options - a brace of three-cylinder petrol and diesel motors, as well as a couple of petrol and diesel four-pots. A six-speed manual can be had, and a six-speed auto is on offer as well.Still, we’re perplexed. The Clubman used to be the practical Mini earlier, and we know that a new one’s on the way. Like the Paceman, which is a coupe version of a bloated Mini which used to be a coupe, Mini may just toss yet nother five-door bodystyle our way and enjoy the confused look on our faces.
