A few days ago, MINI stopped producing manual models. As the chip crisis continues and other problems affect the output of the automotive industry, MINI wants to "ensure stable production" and meet the growing demand for its products, so it stopped producing manual transmission models. For now, UNTIL the chip shortage is alleviated, MINI has not confirmed whether the move will be permanent or temporary.
MINI is currently working on next-generation core models, including the MINI three-door version and THE COUNTRYMAN. Generations of cars that are about to be discontinued are still in production, but MINI has decided to streamline production lines on assembly lines in the remaining months, with supply chain issues forcing MINI to stop producing manual transmission cars.
MINI said in a statement: "The current situation is causing supply chain restrictions in the global automotive industry." "To ensure maximum throughput to meet the growing needs of our customers, our products need to be simplified. This solution is the most efficient way to ensure stable production so that we can continue to provide new MINI to all our customers. ”
According to the "popularity list" data of E-car App, COUNTRYMAN's daily average attention is 6596, ranking 13th in the same level of competitors, if you need more data, please check it out of E-Car App.
