I have to admit that I was slightly puzzled by Mini’s five-door Hatch, as the brand has the Countryman and the upcoming Clubman to appeal to its more practical-minded customers. The Mini Five Door is a reality though, so we’d better get used to it.

To help us out with that, WhatCar released a video in which it explains five key things about the new model. For instance, did you know that the Mini Five Door is actually longer than a VW Polo or Ford Fiesta or that it can legally carry five passengers, a first for the Mini Hatch?

Well, there are more practical advantages as well, like the bigger boot compared to the three-door model.
