Despite sliding Hardtop, Convertible, Clubman, and Coupe volume, Mini sales rose 3.5% in March 2013 thanks to the improved volume achieved by the brand’s second-best-selling model and the introduction of another.
Excluding the new Mini Paceman, which wasn’t on sale at this time last year, Mini was up just 0.6% in March. With the Paceman, Mini volume rose by 205 units. The Paceman accounted for 2.8% of all Mini USA sales last month. The conventional Mini Cooper Hardtop, the model you know best, was responsible for 45.3% of Mini sales; the Countryman another 29%. Countryman sales jumped 11.5% in March; Roadster volume was up 115%.
