MINI's UK division is lowering the bar once again with the release of a new entry-level gasoline model called 'First' that is priced at �10,950 OTR or �1,395 less than the MINI One. Available only in three-door hatch form, the First is equipped with a detuned version of the 95HP 1.4-litre petrol engine currently found in the One that produces 75 horsepower and is linked to a six-speed manual gearbox. 
The MINI First can accelerate from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in 13.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 109mph or 175km/h while returning a combined fuel economy of 53.3mpg UK (5.3lt/100km or 44.3mpg US).
Even though the whole point of the First is its low price, nevertheless MINI does offer a variety of special packages that you can check out in detail below.
