BMW Mini Achieves No. 1 in Korea's Premium Compact Car Market
Cumulative Sales Reach 7,180 Units Through November
Mini Korea achieved its highest monthly sales record last month, securing the top spot in the premium compact car market.
According to industry sources on December 15, Mini sold 7,180 units from January to November, marking a 4.2% increase compared to the same period last year. Last month alone, Mini recorded sales of 918 units, its highest monthly figure this year.
Mini Korea expanded its lineup by introducing three all-electric models, including the brand's first electric-only model, the Mini Aceman. As a result, sales were evenly distributed across all models, without being concentrated on any specific vehicle.
The Mini Cooper 3-Door was the best-selling model, accounting for 35.2% (2,531 units) of total sales. The family car Mini Countryman followed with 26.3% (1,886 units), and the Mini Cooper 5-Door accounted for 25.3% (1,818 units). The Mini Cooper Convertible and Mini Aceman recorded 7.0% (503 units) and 6.2% (442 units), respectively.
Mini has established its foundation by pioneering and developing the 'premium compact car' segment. In particular, the Mini Cooper, Mini Countryman, and Mini Aceman have all received the highest five-star rating for safety from the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), demonstrating their outstanding safety performance.
