# Expanded Historical Autos The MINI 5 Door Puts Two Additional Openings on the Car By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-06-06 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-5-door References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/technology/the-new-mini-5-door-06-05-2014/) & [mini](http://www.mini.ca/settings) The MINI 5 Door is seriously challenging the conventional look of this brand of car. Usually known for its [compact size](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kg-motors), the latest MINI has expanded with [two additional doors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-k4-hatchback) being placed for the back passengers to climb out of. While this certainly makes the car that little bit bigger, it's still small compared to something like an SUV. The main difference is that it's now a little more roomy, and will be easier for those sitting in the back seat to climb out without need of assistance. Also, the MINI 5 Door has "a 192 horsepower 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo engine [which] brings the cooper S from standstill to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds, and can hit a top speed of 230 km/h" - not a bad few features.
