IT is not just the showroom that is recently developed, but the addition of Shepparton MINI Garage.
“MINI has been diversifying and changing as well. They’ve got several different models available, which we’ve been seeing a lot of different variants in sales since taking on the brand,” said dealer principal, Aaron Brain.
“MINI will be a fully electric automobile company by 2030. They’ve got a new suite of vehicles coming before they go fully electric which is also exciting.
“All our vehicles, if they come here for a service, leave here with 100 percent charge, which again is zero-cost because we’re cost neutral with our solar system. We provide lots and lots of benefits in going electric,” said Aaron.
“They’ve got some really exciting, good looking concept cars coming through too. But ultimately, it is about offering something different.
“They’re fun, they’re unreal to drive – they just do things different. A MINI is a MINI, and that’s fun to show.
“You can make them any colour you like; you can play with them. It’s a fun brand, and we’re seeing high uptake and that people are keen to come and check them out,” said Aaron.
Sticking true to the company’s 36-year-strong support of the community, Shepparton BMW + MINI continues to support local sports clubs and charities, and it donated a car to SAM to use.
“It’s a good looking car,” said Aaron. “They’re using one of our MINI Cooper five-door hatches to visit schools and other museums around Victoria and Australia for the next 12 months.”
